Sheila Athens

SHEILA ATHENS writes contemporary romance set inside modern day dilemmas (think Jodi Picoult, but always with a central love story, lots of sexual tension and a happily ever after). She grew up in the Ozarks, vacillating between climbing trees, reading books and neurotically working toward straight A’s. Many years later—after marriage, two sons, a couple of careers, and a Master’s Degree—she discovered her first romance novel in the gift shop of a hotel when she was supposed to be networking with fellow conventioneers. Now she’s got a bright red study filled with romance novels. She’s a creative lefty who loves quiet spaces and eccentric people. Though she’s lived in the coastal south for more than twenty-five years, she looks forward to one day moving to the serene mountaintop cabin she and her husband have built at the edge of a national forest in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
