About the Author
I've always loved to write, but after my first attempt at a novel (nine chapters of Plastic City, the story of underwaterd-welling orphans in the twenty-third century that I wrote in the sixth grade), I took some time off to finish school before I decided to try it for real. In 1986, I graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in journalism, but by 1993, I'd decided to return to my first passion -- crcative writing -- by trying my hand at my own romance novel. That book, My Darling Caroline, went on to win the Romance Writers of America RITA Award for Best First Book of 1998.
I live in the St. Louis area with my husband and two children, exploring history as I delve into the hearts of my characters. I enjoy hearing from readers and invite you to write to me in care of Avon Books at HarpcrCollins,or directly through my website.
