My perfect day: Laptop; WiFi availability; Java Mocha; characters demanding their stories be told; a plot that comes together; and hours to live in an alternate reality. Afterward, I return home to wash dishes and vacuum.
Seriously, I have always loved reading, and now I love writing. As a preteen, I devoured Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys Mysteries, but when I reached my teens, the romance genre became my favorite and that has never changed. After years of procrastinating, I decided to try my hand at writing and I've been doing so with a passion ever since. I have written over twenty-five novels and novellas in the romance genres of fantasy, contemporary, contemporary western, and historical. Because I hate saying goodbye to characters who have lived with me for months, I usually create a series so they can be revisited from book to book.
I also have a YA novel titled Fragile Hearts under the pen name of Colleen Clay.
In 2014 I was honored to receive the gold medal from Readers' Favorite International Book Contest for Abby: Mail Order Bride in the historical romance category.
