Born and raised in the South, I spent my early years reading Edgar Allen Poe, Stephen King, and Agatha Christie. I often visited the South Carolina Low Country where I fell in love with the local ghost stories and folklore. The Gold Bug, Phantom of the Opera, The Picture of Dorian Gray--these are the stories I find romantic!
I still reside in the South where I've worked for over ten years as a high school librarian and teacher. I'm married with two sons, and I've published several adult romance novels.
