I have been writing both contemporary and regency romances
since 1986, though my writing began in earnest at age
fourteen when I drafted a script for my favorite TV show.
While my attempt never made it to the small screen, I
eventually pursued writing as a career, first with
contemporary romances for Silhouette and later with
historicals set in the Regency period.
Raised on the East Coast, my life changed dramatically when
I married Paul Blayney. Within six months we moved to a
Coast Guard Base in Kodiak, Alaska. It was the first time I
had ever been off the east coast. Over the years we lived
all over the US including San Francisco; Muskegon, Michigan;
San Juan, Puerto Rico and Seattle. Paul's career gave me the
opportunity to experience, in a personal way, the Coast
Guard's search and rescue mission where life and death are
no more than a breath apart. These events shape my belief
that life is best lived with joy, love and a generous heart.
Those convictions are what I most want to share with my
readers. Family will always play a strong part in my books
since, for me, family relationships are as fundamental as
the love between a man and a woman.
Always interested in books about relationships, I chose
romance when I began writing because it was one of the few
literary forms that welcomed a happy ending. Times have
changed and many romance writers have moved on to other
genres taking the happy ending with them. As for my plans, I
still have dozens of stories to tell in the historical
romance genre and anticipate writing Regency-set stories for
years to come.
