There are many books that have influenced me. To list a few, Jude Deveraux, Knight in Shining Armor, Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman, The Darksword Trilogy, Anne Rice, The Mummy and the Interview with a Vampire novels. Another major influence is music. Without music I probably wouldn't be writing, that's how much it affects me. I'd have to say darker music influences me the most, though lately I've discovered I enjoy a little Opera.

My novel, 1080 Kiss, received the Coffee Time Romance Reviewer Recommend Award for the month of December. It also won a Golden Rose award for Best Romance of 2007.
