About the Author
My love for writing stems from my mother’s passion for popular fiction, which introduced me to some risqué books at a young age. Eventually, I wrote my first published book, To Tempt a Scotsman, a historical piece that won the Golden Heart award.
I followed it up with A Rake’s Guide to Pleasure, which was excerpted in Scotsman.
My agent encouraged me to try writing a contemporary romantic comedy due to my lighthearted nature. I had a blast writing Talk Me Down, which tells the story of a woman returning to her hometown in Colorado and stirring up trouble with her secretive career and a romantic relationship with the chief of police.
Luckily, Tara Parsons at HQN enjoyed it, so if you enjoy steamy scenes and raunchy humor, be sure to check it out when it’s released in January 2009.
My family and I reside in a stunning ski town in Utah, but I’m not one for hitting the slopes. Instead, I prefer curling up indoors with a good book and a hot toddy while the snow blankets the outside world.
With dukes, Scotsmen, police chiefs, and provocative ladies running amok in my head, my imaginary friends keep me company. Thankfully, my understanding husband and children don’t mind the crowded house.
