About the Author

When Dee Lloyd was thirteen years old she told a reporter for the Timmins Daily Press that she wanted to be a writer. The road since has meandered through some fascinating territory, but the writing has been a constant. She's worked in record stores, at cosmetic counters and for a City tax department, but for the past twenty years she has devoted most of her energy to teaching Creative Writing to adults and adolescents.

Dee is addicted to cruising tropical waters in the winter as often as she can and loves the clear lake waters that surround her island cottage in Central Ontario. She is fascinated by the interactions between men and women of all ages and cultures and by the resilience that people display in the face of devastating troubles.

After years of reading all kinds of mysteries, Dee gradually found herself choosing stories with a higher romance content. Her own stories moved in the same direction. Recently, she realized that she was a natural to write romantic suspense novels. After all, she met her husband in what could have been the opening scene of a romance novel. Dee was auditioning for the singing lead in a college musical comedy that he had written. Naturally, she got the part . . . and the man.

Now that she is focusing her attention on her writing, these days Dee's main distractions are, aside from her husband, her two grown daughters and six grandchildren.

Dee has been a member of the Romance Writers of America since 1990, of the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers since attending a great conference there in 1992, and of the Kiss of Death Chapter of RWA since 1998.

More About the Author

Growing up in Timmins,Ontario, in its gold mining heyday, gave Dee Lloyd her love of dramatic scenery, strong men and independent women. It taught her nothing is impossible with determination and hard work. Still in grade school, she told a reporter for the Timmins Daily Press that she was going to be a writer. Many careers--ranging from selling in a music store to teaching creative writing--later, she is doing just that.
Dee is now the award-winning author of seven romantic suspense and paranormal romance novels. Ties That Blind won the EPPIE Award for best contemporary romance. Her new paranormal/reincarnation/ghost novel, Out of Her Dreams, is the 2010 EPIC award winner for Paranormal Romance. It is also a nominee for Romantic Times Reviewers Choice Award for best Paranormal Romance of 2009.
Dee was married to Terry Sheils, award-winning author of horror, mystery, and fantasy, for over forty years. Dee states, "Writing has always been as essential as breathing in our house."
Dee is a popular speaker at romance and mystery conferences. She will be teaching an online course, Putting the Suspense in Romantic Suspense, at Savvy Authors from June15th to July 5th.
Dee's life is full. She lives with a wild and wonderful Mini-labradoodle named Meg. Her daughters are supportive and dynamic. And of course, the grandchildren are exceptional. The icing on the cake is the growing number of enthusiastic readers who write to tell her they enjoy her books.

5.0 out of 5 stars This one Deserves More Awards!, September 6, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Ties That Blind (Paperback)
No wonder Dee Lloyd won the prestiguous EPPIE Award for this book! A touching, believable romance springs to life while to old acquaintances attempt to solve a dangerous mystery. Dee Lloyd writes characters in a way that brings them to life - they are real people, and the reader can't help but be drawn into their lives. The romance is well-done, but so is the mystery. A very strong novel from an author that I will read more of. Anyone who likes romances with a bit of suspense and/or mystery should pick up this book. Highly Recommended!
