Mardi Ballou

By day she's a mild-mannered
language teacher and the handy, dandy Programming V.P. for Silicon Valley
RWA. But after hours, Mardi Ballou's wild writer persona erupts and
entraps her in bondage…to her computer. Release comes only once she
achieves her word count goal, at which point the maniacal chocolate
monster will give her one sublime piece. And then she can spend time
with her hero husband Lee, who gives great massages at strategic times.
So Mardi writes what she knows-- romances--hot and mainstream--for Ellora's
Cave, Samhain, NCP, Whiskey Creek, and Changeling. Also women's fiction.
Her most recent releases are Tamsin's Choice
in e-book format for Ellora's Cave and, in print from Ellora's Cave
Long, Slow Ride in the Better with Age
anthology and Triple Booked. The Fangly, My Dear series--Byte
Marks, What's a Ghoul to Do?, and Playing with Matches
is in print from Samhain.
