Inspired to write by her overactive imagination, Lauren Sharman was voted BEST ROMANCE AUTHOR in the 2006 Preditor's and Editor's Readers Poll. Her favorite part of writing romantic suspense is creating characters; giving them pasts and stories and reasons for doing what they do. She's especially proud of the tough, hardworking, wildly protective 'good men in bad boy clothing' who make up the heroes in her award-winning books.
