I eventually realized that good things wouldn't happen to me if I didn't make the right choices.
Westerns were all daddy liked to watch. Give me some Clint Eastwood, some Charles Bronson, and I was a happy girl. It was our father-daughter bonding.
As a lifelong romance reader, it's always satisfying to get to talk to other romance readers!
I was the girl in the black leather jacket with the black fingernails, picked up after school by guys with loud cars and motorcycles. I carried straight-A grades, but I had a little trouble with rules. I tended to have a bit of an authority problem.
I was very afraid to write a novel - it was a dream for a very long time, and it was one of the few things that I was afraid to try.
