A bit of basics about me - I am 33, and am a mother to a preschooler. I teach for my day job. I am Canadian, originally from the East Coast, but am now in Ontario. I am relatively new to publishing contemporary romance and erotic romance, but have have long been a fan. My mum is the reason I adore romance, being a major reader herself.
Mostly, I am just happy to be returning to writing, which was a childhood passion for me.
I think I have been story making well before I could actually write. We were not an electronic family when I was a child, so my main entertainments were drawing and making up jokes and stories to go with them. Later, I wrote a lot because it was a sly way to pass time in school when I was bored (while still looking like I was just taking notes). So, basically, story telling and writing started first as entertainment, and then, as I came into myself, a way to explore the world. In many ways, these two motivations are still my main reasons for writing.
In addition, I also gained some minor fame in my highschool for my writing and won a few contests, so that really added to my enthusiasm - from then on, it was a big ambition for me to write and publish. Getting my manuscript accepted for publication was a true joy for me, and I can't wait to share my stories with romance fans of every stripe.
I am the author of Waking Kara, Unwrapping Scrooge, Strings Attached, Good for the Goose, V-Day, Like Magic, Charity, and Bubbly. I am published in print in the anthology Yule be Mine, vol 2. I have a full length novel coming out in ebook in summer 2012, and in print fall 2012. I also have a paperback collection coming out in fall 2012. I also write non-fiction.
It will be an honour to entertain you, and a thrill to give you a bit of relaxation for your buck. It brings a smile to my face when I consider my new role in life, and my motto in writing is now: "Pleasure is my business."
I hope you enjoy my work, and I'd love to hear from you!
