Jeanie London

Jeanie London has had a head filled with characters for as long as she can remember. She completed her very first novel when she was just eleven--200 handwritten pages spanning several composition notebooks. She even had a real fan--her mom, who typed her stories at work to 'publish' them.

School years were spent sneaking romances into school when she should have been learning algebra and biology. College years were spent taking all sorts of electives, like journalism and fiction writing classes, when she should have been taking algebra and biology.

Nowadays, Jeanie is still reading and writing romances because she believes in happily-ever-afters. Not the "love conquers all" kind, but the "two people love each other, so they can conquer anything" kind. The commitment and monogamy of romance are strong values--values she wants to pass along to her daughters, who'll search for their own heroes one day.
