I am a thirty three year old wife and mother of two, who never really grew up. I’m like the female Peter Pan, (without the island, and the wild boys.) Being an only child, essentially raised by my grandparents, I had A LOT of free time on my hands. So, I gobbled up every book I could get my hands on, and watched movies constantly. Ever since I was little, whenever I would read a book or watch a movie, I always wanted to add new characters, change scenes–sometimes even the ending. I wrote my first, (and only) Young Adult novel in the ninth/tenth grade, and enjoyed everything about the process of writing. But, my main passion had always been for dance. I actually went to college as a dance major. It wasn’t until after I to married, had my kids, and settled in Wisconsin that I tried my hand at writing again. Now, I can’t stop. I write in pretty much every genre - fantasy, historical, paranormal, contemporary and erotica. 

My erotic paranormal "Claming the Lamb" came in 3rd in the Preditors & Editors Readers Poll and was also nominated for a Golden Rose Award for Best Novella of 2006.  I also had a fantasy romance short released last year by Highland Press. Currently, I have two erotic contemporary short stories due out in February from Whiskey Creek Press Torrid, and “A Magical Encounter” my medieval fantasy romance novel is set for release next month from New Concepts Publishing. I am an active member of RWA, the Vice President of WisRWA, Hearts Through History, FF&P, Passionate Ink, Erotic Authors Association, EPIC, and GothRom and a self proclaimed Myspace junkie.

I was born in Kingston, Jamaica and at the tender age of ten I began high school. At thirteen I was adopted and moved to Toronto Canada where I continued my education and delved deeper into my love of reading and acting.  At the age of eighteen, since reading romance for ten years, I decided to try my hand at writing my own story.  I succeeded and years later finally had the courage to send it off to publishers.  It was accepted was written under a pseudonym.  It has gotten some wonderful reviews and has been a bestseller since it's release April 1, 2007 (really...no fooling!). That pushed me to keep going and I have three stories released under the same pseudonym.  I currently have one story "African Chocolate" under my real name.
 
I have an associates degree in Radio Broadcasting and is currently in university for my Bachelor's degree in Communication with a minor in dramatic arts (I am thinking of taking a double major but I am a little chicken of all the work).  I am a happy participant of Nanorwrimo and I love reading, writing/researching, singing, cultures, acting, trying to dance, movies, music and cooking.

I first fell in love with books when I was a very small child and the love affair has never ended. By the time I was 12, I was reading my mother's classics, Dante's Inferno and The Canterbury Tales. Yes, heavy reading for a 12 year old, but I loved them and I still do. That's when I began writing my own stories. For a while I kept my stories to myself, some have long since disappeared.

Being raised in Louisiana has given a little extra spice to the stories I create. Though my first story with The Dark Castle Lords is tame by comparison to others I've written. My next story for them will show that 'extra spice'. I've found I can write just about anything with enough research. But I'm favoring writing a few more stories based in Louisiana and Texas, areas I know well and still love though I no longer live there. Not quite sure I'm ready to write about Virginia yet.

Most of my stories are romantic suspense, but a few are paranormal. I've learned that I really have to enjoy the genre I write, if I don't it doesn't make for a good story. I love writing heroines who are tough and can stand up to their man, yet at the same time, need his help and support. I have been known to use friends in my stories, which often makes for good natured ribbing once they've spotted themselves. Of course, I camouflage them enough that it's often hard to spot them right away.

I was asked recently by a friend of mine, if I wrote for the money or the fame. I answered honestly, "Neither, I write for the hot cover models." Okay, then I told her the truth, I don't write for money or fame, I write because I enjoy it and I know there are some people out there who will read my work and though it won't change their lives, it will put a smile on their face. The hot cover models are just a bonus.
