Writing has taken me from fantasy video games, young adult horror, to romances, and who knows where next.
My work has won--amoung other things--the Romance Writers of America's Golden Heart, a RWA RITA nomination for Best Regency, and the Grand Prize in the "Minute Maid Sensational Romance Writer" contest, judged by Nora Roberts (which included a trip to Paris).
In addition to teaching online courses, and a class at UCLA, I've spoken at RWA's National Conference, the Historical Novel Socity Conference, as well as at chapter meetings. The web site usually has the latest information on online classes (there's one next year at Earlthlycharms, and other events,as well as a listing of books, some of which are still in print.
