I come from a background of Radio/TV writing - including a five day stint on a pilot TV show called Saturday Nite Live. Yup, that's all I lasted! Love writing dialogue and creating compelling characters who are so real they've gotten fan mail! Major influence: hard boiled mystery writers...was thrilled to meet Mickey Spillane many years ago. I currently write a mix of erotic romantic comedies and have a mystery/thriller series. My non-fiction book: How To Write the Amateur Detective Novel was nominated for the Agatha Christie Award and is in the FBI Forensic Library at Quantico. 

Have had 10 #1 Romance novels on a variety of bestseller's lists over the years.
