I started reading as a teenager and have read many, many books. I started off by reading Zane Grey westerns and from there I developed a deep love for romance. I started my first romance novel when I was 15. I took the course "Writing to sell Fiction" offered by Writers Digest Schools. From that I was able to sell a short story called "A Time to Swim". Since then I have still been working on my novels and writing articles on-line.
