Roni Denholtz

Since she first learned to read, Roni Paitchel Denholtz has loved books. She began making up stories with happy endings when she was young, and eventually she started writing them down. After graduating from Newark State College (now Kean University) with a B.A. in Early Childhood Education, Roni taught children with learning disabilities and studied for her master's degree. When she finished her M.A. in Education of the Handicapped, Roni decided to get serious about her writing dreams and got down to work, writing and rewriting, studying the craft, and learning about submitting manuscripts.

Today, Roni is an award-winning author who has had stories, articles and poetry published in magazines such as Modern Romances, True Love, Baby Talk, Complete Woman, For the Bride and Women's Circle. She is the author of nine juvenile books, published by January Productions, an educational publisher. One of her books, "Jenny Gets Glasses" was ranked #7 of the top 20 favorites of first graders in a nationwide study by the Reading is Fundamental group.

Roni’s four romances, three contemporaries and one traditional regency, are published by Avalon Books. Her regency “Marquis in a Minute” won the 2007 Golden Leaf award given by New Jersey Romance Writers for excellence in romance fiction! Roni’s fifth romance “Salsa with Me” will be published in October 2008.

Roni teaches a class in writing, "Writing for Fun and Profit" through her local adult school. Some of her writing students have now been published!
