I have lived a romance all the thirty-three years I've known my husband, Mike. We met in college, and though it wasn't love at first sight, I knew he was the one soon after I started dating him. We have a son who is now working for his father and is engaged. I like to travel and many of the places I have been to are in my books. I don't like to write about a place without having been there first.
