My bio

Dang. This is tough. How do I let you get to know me without being too humdrum or too nutsy? Maybe this is why everybody does those blog surveys–to get to know people in a controlled setting. Sounds a bit clinical, but there’s something to be said for it, no? (You’d think this was segueing into a survey, wouldn’t you? I’ve certainly set you up for it, and Lord knows, it’s crossed my mind, but I think I’ll take a path more commonly traveled and just go for the too nutsy approach.)

In high school I played French horn, electric bass, and trombone. I broke Andie McDowell’s house. I have a scar on the back of my head where a motor dropped on it when I was eight. (Don’t go there.) I’d rather go to Newfoundland than Hawaii. I collect vintage compacts and cigarette holders. My first concert was REO Speedwagon. (Richard Marx opened.) In another life I’d be an auto mechanic. I only have one sibling. I would love to be a professional student. I don’t have any tattoos…yet.

And I’m a romance writer. Under my belt are six historical romance novels, one novella, and a romantic-comedy/paranormal lite (rom-com-para-lite). I’m represented by the madcap and amazingly awesome Barbara Poelle of the Irene Goodman Agnecy. The RWA National convention is like crack to me (much like Taco John’s Potato Ole’s), and I probably drink way too much tea for one person, especially when I’m writing. If you ask me, life is perfect.
