The Easter Bunny is supposed to bring sweets and chocolate. One year he brought a bouncing baby to Dani's parents instead. She'll let you make your own association here. Dani's parents claim they were elated, but she thinks it just took time for the shock to wear off. Reading and writing have always been part of her life. As a child she wrote plays and talked neighbourhood children into performing for parents and anyone else she could coerce into sitting through them. The rest of the time she spent reading walking every Saturday to the library to replenish her stack of fiction.In high school Dani finally began writing her own novel. The murder mystery featured a private investigator and a mysterious, beautiful woman. (Her first romance though she didn't know it back then.) Over the years, Dani continued to dabble in writing. So when her sister asked her to write her a romance novel while Dani was between jobs, it sounded like a piece of cake.Ignorance is bliss. Dani says she wrote her first romance novel in something like one week. She was so pleased by the results, she followed it up with two more. Then she discovered a group of writers who met once a week to critique and offer support to one another. Shortly thereafter she discovered a local chapter of Romance Writers of America. Of the five writers who formed the initial critique group, the three who were able to persevere are now all published authors. Moreover, Dani is proud to add that all three have been nominated for the Romance Writers of America RITA Awards.Dani concludes with: Thanks to the loving support of my very own hero and the two sons we raised, I sold 13 books in five years. I'm proud to call myself a writer. And hopefully, I've given to others some of the pleasure I've derived from a lifetime of reading.
