More About the Author

I wrote my first story -- a tragic romance about two star-crossed Mallard ducks -- as a second grade writing assignment. The paper earned a gold star. And I kept writing.

I've since written around a hundred novels and have been published in twenty-six countries. Two of my titles have been excerpted in Cosmopolitan magazine and my books have also been published by the Doubleday, Rhapsody, Mystery Guild, and Literary Guild bookclubs. As a New York Times, U.S. Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller, I'm also a member of the Romance Writers of America's Honor Roll of best-selling authors.

I'm currently writing my Shelter Bay series, set on the magnificent Oregon coast where, when I was eighteen-years-old, my high school sweetheart bought me a bag of taffy, then proposed. The smartest thing I ever did was say yes!

My husband and I live in our beloved Pacific Northwest, with three rescued dogs who pretty much rule the house. (And, in case you're wondering, that taffy store is still there! )

This review is from: Star Crossed Lovers (Harlequin Temptation) (Paperback)

I'm a hard core sci-fi fan who also enjoys a good romance once in a while for light reading, so I was delighted with this book. The small town police chief heroine was well developed, likeable, and credible. So was the space-traveling hero and HOW he ended up on earth. The sub-plot of him being forced to deal with his home planets misogynistic ideas and how much of an eye-opener the heroine is was a fun little sub-plot ... especially with the under-theme of his feminist little sister back on the home planet. I liked very much the fact he was being forced to acknowledge women were mens' equals by the woman he loves who carries a gun!

By the end of the book ... you just KNOW more sparks are going to fly between these two about gender roles, but you also feel confident they will be able to work it out. The sub-characters, her brother, his sister, were credible. The only weak character was the villain ... a good villain is hard to write. I immediately went out in search of book 2 of this series!
