What
were you in your life before you became a writer? I didn't start writing until I was in my fifties, so I had the opportunity to
work at a lot of different things. I was an over-the-road trucker for 8 years,
an acquisitions librarian for a year, a teacher for 13 years, a technical
writer for 4 years, and a technical editor for 5 years. There were other things
tucked in there before I started calling myself a writer (like gift wrapper for
a Christmas season!). I guess trucking influenced me the
most, mainly because of all those lonely miles I had available to put together
stories! Needless to say, I've also been associated with lots of different
people from various walks of life, and I have shamelessly used them as fodder
for my characters.

Are
you genre specific?
With the exception of one book I wrote under another pen name, my books have all been erotic romance. I didn't set off to write erotic romance—and I didn't tell anyone that I was writing it until well into my second year of being published. I wrote a book, sent it to a publisher of erotic romance. The publisher said that she liked my writing style but that the book didn't have enough sex in it. She said if I ever wrote and erotic romance to please let her have a look. I thought, "How hard can it be to write sex?" I wrote a different book, added (what I though was) lots of sex and sent it back the next month, and she published it. So I've just staying in the genre. It's what I love to write as well as read.

Did
your reading choices have anything to do with your choice of genre?
Not really except insofar as I read romance and write romance. I didn't really know there was an erotic romance segment of romance—I never read it. I only got into erotic romance as a kind of challenge to myself. I do love romance books, however, and read all the subgenre, from historical to futuristic.

What's
your latest release?
Last March Black Velvet Seductions released a book of three novellas called Naval Maneuvers. It features naval personnel and their discovery of life and love, in uniform and out. They have scheduled my next book, Only a Good Man Will Do, for this fall. It's the first in the Good Man series. The series focuses on naturally identical triplets, Daniel, Jonah, and Mark Goodman. I hope readers like the boys as much as I do!
