Barbara McCauley

BARBARA MCCAULEY is the author of over 30 best-selling
romance novels, including "Blackhawk's Sweet Revenge," the
first volume of her popular SECRETS! series for Silhouette.
Her work has been nominated eight times by the Romance
Writers of America ® for Best Short Contemporary in the
prestigious RITA contest. She has also received
numerous "Top Picks" from Romantic Times magazine, plus
several Best Short Desire and "W.I.S.H." awards for her
hunky heroes, and two Career Achievement Awards. All of her
books have appeared on the Walden Romance Best Seller lists.

A native of Southern California, Ms. McCauley enjoys
spending time with her husband and two children and working
in her garden when she can manage to break away from her
computer. "I love to cook," says Barbara, "but when I'm on
a tight deadline, quick recipes and take-out are
essential." The youngest of five children growing up, she
discovered early the peaceful satisfaction of daydreams and
reading a good book. She remains an avid reader today,
indulging her love of romance whenever possible.
