I was born in Sacramento, California where I launched my writing career by โpublishingโ a family newspaper. Circulation was dismal. After school, I married the love of my life. We spent years juggling children and pets while living on sailboats. All the while, I read like a crazy woman (devoured Agatha Christie) and wrote stories of my own, eventually selling to magazines and then book publishers. Now, 45 novels later, Iโm concentrating on romantic suspense where my true interest lies.
