About Me

I love reading about bad boys (and not-so-bad girls), and I suspect you do, too!

​

MC Romance became a guilty pleasure several years ago, when I stumbled on a handful of authors you need to check out (if you’re not already rabid fans): Lauren Gilley (her Fearless series is a great way to start), Joanna Wilde (love those Reapers) and Susan Fanetti (The Night Horde is not for the faint of heart). Since then I’ve devoured the books of many other gifted authors in this dark little corner of Romance-landia: Kathleen Kelly, Kristen Ashley, Lexi Gray and Thetta James.

​

I’d fantasized about my Midnight Riders for a few years, fleshing out my dark heroes and the strong heroines who help them confront their personal demons. I’m thrilled to bring these characters to life on the page for everyone who loves a happy ending with more than a few speed bumps along the way!

 

When I’m not slaving away on my laptop, I’m chatting up Harley owners, befriending recreational motorcycle clubs (because I’m not crazy!), and reading a wide range of popular and literary fiction: bestsellers through my local book club, urban fantasy, historical and contemporary romance. Plus books on gardening and international travel.

 

I moved to California last year to be near my first grandchild. It’s fun to watch my daughter experience first-hand what I dealt with with her and her brother. What goes around comes around, baby!
