Over the years I have written for Harlequin Mills & Boon under the name Deborah Miles, and for a number of Australian publishers under the name Lilly Sommers (see my book list page). Now I write for Avon in the USA. Somehow I juggle my writing with a husband and two teenagers, three cats and a dog, an old house that needs repairs and a large garden, as well as other family and friends and the constant demands of our modern world. But I love it and I would never want it any other way.
