In the past, I've written westerns for Leisure under Lori Morgan and Pirate adventure books for Berkley
under Laura Renken. I like to think of myself as a
passionate believer in happy endings. My books have been
three times nominated by Romantic Times, and Heart of the Condor won the Affaire de
Couer,
Best Swashbuckling and Best Foreign historical (story that
takes place outside England) for 2003. Indigo Moon
was a HOLT medallion winner and, My Lord Pirate, a
1999 Golden Heart Finalist, which launched my publishing
career with Berkley.
I live in the Chicago area where I currently serve as
president for the Windy City RWA chapter. Currently, I pen
stories for AVON/HarperCollins under my name, Melody
Thomas, and am very excited to announce that I've
signed on for four books over the next two years. Must
Have Been the Moonlight, was a Dec 04 release. Match
Made in Scandal will appear on shelves in December
2005. This new series is about a rags to riches Irish
family that dares turn upper British Society on its heels.
What they'll find is love, and a renewed faith that the
heart has the power to conquer all. A little bit of
suspense and a lot of passion make for fun reading.
