I want to believe in ghosts and fairies, in vampires and shapeshifters, in alternate dimensions and other worlds.  I want to believe in "through the looking glass", "straight on 'til morning" and "as you wish".  I also want to believe in love.

As the daughter of an alcoholic, I learned at a very young age to turn to fictional worlds for escape--especially science fiction, fantasy and paranormal romance. I have a special affinity for characters who live in the shadows but refuse to be defined by the darkness that surrounds them. I love exploring deep emotions, bringing happily ever after to life on the page… and Glacier Mint ice cream.

When I'm not in the middle of creating fiery conflict between passionate lovers, I enjoy living in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains with my own real life "Survivor Man" and three awesome sons.
