Nicole Burnham

Nicole Burnham is originally from Colorado. However, as the daughter of an Army dentist, she grew up traveling the world. She has skiied the Swiss Alps, snorkeled in the Grenadines, and successfully haggled her way through Cairo's Khan al Khalili marketplace. After obtaining both a law degree and a master's degree in political science, Nicole settled into what she thought would be a long, secure career as an attorney. That long, secure career only lasted a year--she soon found writing romance a more adventuresome career choice than writing stale legal briefs. Her first book, GOING TO THE CASTLE, was honored by the Reviewers' International Organization in both the Best Debut Book and Best Short Contemporary categories of the Dorothy Parker Awards. Her second book, THE PRINCE'S TUTOR, will be released by Silhouette Romance in January, 2003. When she's not writing, Nicole enjoys relaxing with her family, tending her rose garden, and traveling--the more exotic the locale, the better.
