Inland Empire Chapter - Romance Writers of America

I give Newton the credit for my becoming an author. I was happily pursuing undergraduate work in biology and chemistry when I found myself signed up for physics. Physics and I do not get along. Believe me, we aren't even on speaking terms! I was forced to give up my dream of becoming a research biologist and, instead, turned to writing--all the wrong things, of course.

Then I discovered Georgette Heyer and her wonderful Regencies. Reading her books, I discovered I lived a former life among Regency lords and ladies--very likely as a maid, but an observant one!

From when I began writing, it took fifteen years to sell my first book, a Regency. Then, after nearly thirty books and fifteen novellas, my publisher cancelled the line.

It was tough being orphaned, but I've been adopted by an e-publisher and I hope, together, we'll manage to put out another thirty or so.
