More About the Author
USA Today best selling author Maureen Child is the author of more than ninety romance novels and novellas. Maureen is a five time nominee for the prestigious Rita award from Romance Writers of America.
One of her novels, A POCKETFUL OF PARADISE, was made into a CBS-TV movie called The Soul Collector, starring Melissa Gilbert, Bruce Greenwood and Ossie Davis.
Maureen was not only on the Texas set to watch her characters come to life in front of the cameras, she was also tossed into the last scene by her husband and the producer, who both thought this would be a fun way to humiliate an author!
When her kids were small, Maureen started writing as not only a way to stay sane, but in the hopes of finding a job she could do and stay at home with them. Sanity is still an issue, but she did manage to write her way into a career she wouldn't trade for anything.
Over the years, she's written under lots of different names and she prefers the term 'pseudonym' to 'alias'. As Ann Carberry, she wrote western historical romances. As Kathleen Kane, she wrote not only Americana romances, but western paranormal romances as well. As Sarah Hart, she wrote one really spectacular western paranormal that is still one of her favorites. And once, Ann Carberry even wrote a Victorian historical which she absolutely loved doing.
Under her own name, Maureen writes short contemporary novels for Silhouette Desire--books she loves to write because of their fast pace and condensed story telling. Maureen is also writing funny, contemporary paranormal romances for NAL and darker paranormal stories for Silhouette Nocturne.
Life is busy but when she isn't writing you can find Maureen sitting under her 'thinking tree', coming up with new ideas for even more stories. When she isn't dreaming up a new book or writing a current one, Maureen loves to travel. Her favorite vacation spot is Ireland, with Scotland coming in a very close second. She and her husband love a good road trip and Maureen's looking forward to the day when she can actually drive to Ireland. Talk about the best of both worlds!
Maureen lives with her family in Southern California and loves to hear from her readers. Visit her online at www.maureenchild.com.

Plain Jane blossoms in this novel,
This review is from: Run Wild My Heart (Paperback)
I really enjoyed reading this book. I hadn't heard of Maureen Child before; turns out that this was her debut novel. Well written, fast paced and fun, this was a great read.Magaret, a plain bespecticled woman, only daughter of a self-made financial wizard in San Fransisco, runs away from home after her father pays for a man to marry her. On her first outing, her stagecoach is robbed and she makes barely makes it away alive. Lucky for her, handsome Cheyenne Boder is on her trail and helps save her from certain death. On their way to the nearest town, love starts to happen. Unfortunately, Cheyenne is not exactly forthcoming about why he is following Maggie. This leads to a lot of fun, with areas for both characters to grow- Maggie becoming an independant woman, and Cheyenne respecting himself enough to be worth Maggie's love. This is a great romp through the wild west. I am going to search to see if there is a second novel about a side character (Ritter Sloane, a gunslinger). All the characters are so well written.
