I am one of those rare birds - a California native. I've lived in California my whole life and I love it

I never intended to be a published author. It just happened.

One night, when my husband was at work and the kids were in bed and there was nothing on TV, I sat down and started writing a book of my own. That book was COMMANCHE FLAME. And I've been writing ever since.

I also write paranormal romances as Amanda Ashley.

I write for Leisure Books, Signet Books, St. Martin’s Press, Zebra Books and Silhouette Romance.
