Brief Bio
I'm the author of eleven novels, one novella, and a nonfiction writing book. My writing roots are in romance and I've written seven romances for Arabesque and Harlequin/Silhouette. From general romance, I moved on to Christian romance, writing two novels for Tyndale House. I currently write what is called Christian fiction, Christian chick-lit, inspirational fiction and women's fiction. My next book, Up Pops the Devil, will be released by Avon A on July 29, 2008.
