Dear Reader:

I have always loved the written word. With its ability to stir emotions, change minds, hearts, and lives, I believe it’s one of the most powerful tools of mankind.

I fell in love with reading at a very early age. The small Alabama community I grew up in didn't offer many entertainment venues. Reading became an integral part of my life, carrying me to far away destinations where I met extraordinary people and experienced their daring adventures. Summer vacation would have been long and lonely if not for the weekly visits of the book mobile. I would check out several each week and devour them as quickly as possible. Then I would reread them slowly, savoring each word.

My head has always been filled with characters and storylines that kept me entertained. However, I had never sat down and tried to write more than a chapter or two. After leaving a career I no longer felt passionate about, I issued myself a challenge: Could I write an entire book? A year later, I completed my first manuscript. I still remember the incredible feeling of accomplishment and joy when I typed that very last word.

Several years and manuscripts later, I accepted representation from my dream agent and a month later, made my first sale--a romantic suspense trilogy--to Ballantine. Yes, dreams really can come true.

The backdrop of my books is an organization called Last Chance Rescue Enterprises. They employ some of the most highly skilled and ruthless mercenaries in the world with only one goal and purpose. These brave men and women do whatever it takes, no matter the cost, to rescue the innocent.

The first LCR books, RESCUE ME, RETURN TO ME and RUN TO ME, were released in 2009 as a back-to-back trilogy. In 2010, came another LCR trilogy, NO CHANCE, SECOND CHANCE and LAST CHANCE.

Three more Last Chance Rescue books are scheduled for release in 2011. SWEET JUSTICE in August, SWEET REVENGE in September and SWEET REWARD is scheduled for late December.
