Who am I?

Good question, and not one I think about often. I much prefer making up characters, getting them into trouble and ensuring they find love to talking about myself. But since this is the bio page, I guess I can tell a few tales about what makes me - me.

I'm a dyed in the wool New Yorker, but have lived on the sunny shores of San Diego for seven wonderful years before finding my way back home. As much as I loved the perfect weather of California, the change of seasons has a way of calling to my soul that I definitely missed.

Now, I'd love to tell you I learned to read at a very young age, but alas, I cannot lie. In fact, my parents spent many days afterschool meeting with teachers because I seemed to not care if I learned to read at all. If they only knew I was sneaking out of the classroom to hide outside, where I was so busy creating characters for the fantasy world in my head, I didn't see the need to read.

But, I did eventually learn to read and haven't been without a good book since. During high school I always had a romance novel tucked away in my bag, Victoria Holt and Barbara Cartland were favorites back then.

I still love to read romance novels, and am now enjoying letting my own cast of characters out of my head and onto some pages of their own.

Welcome to my world!

A FEW THINGS I'M BLESSED TO HAVE IN MY LIVE:

My family (I consider my cats and dog part of my family)
Chocolate
Starbucks cinnamon dolce lattes in the winter, Dunkin Donuts iced caramel coffees in the summer and chocolate cheesecakes all year long!
ALL my electronic devices, because a girl can never check her email enough.
And of course, a good book!

A FEW THINGS I CAN LIVE WITHOUT:

Snow, bugs, rap music, most reality TV and people who still think romance novels aren't "real" books.
