I’ve been writing
stories since the first grade, when my aspiring writer father encouraged
me and gave me a small metal file cabinet with "Helen's Story
Box" written on it in permanent marker. I began my first novel,
a young adult romance, in the eighth grade. Although it will never
see the light of day, I still have the manuscript that I typed on
an old IBM Selectric.
I stopped writing to attend college and law school. I married my
law school sweetheart and settled in Colorado to raise a family.
My two sons, now 15 and 12, are the light of my life. When I hit
the big 4-0, I decided to get back to writing. After completing
a young adult fantasy fiction manuscript, I needed a fun read for
a plane ride, so I picked up a romance (Nora Roberts' Morrigan's
Cross) for the first time in ten years. I got hooked all over again
and decided to give romance writing a try. I have completed several
romance manuscripts, and I also work as an editor for a small press.
