Writing has me hooked though the realization was a long time coming. As a child I wanted to be a foreign correspondent when I grew up. I must have been a romantic even then, but reality set in and instead I went to the exotic University of Rhode Island for a degree in English literature and stayed on as a teaching assistant while I earned my master’s degree.
In the meantime, I had married John (he loves it when I give my heroes his name), and we have two grown children, Mary Lee and Chris, and three granddaughters, Amy, Laura and Carolyn.
Following URI and a stint writing PR and advertising copy, I taught writing and lit for sixteen years at Becker College in Worcester, Massachusetts. I enjoyed this period of my life tremendously, but when ...more

Jean Harrington Like historical romance? Then you're in for a treat. Recently released, Cherish the Knight by Diane O'Key is everything a book in this genre should be. It offers a luscious love story with a mystery at its heart, two vibrant strong-willed lovers and a ferret! Yes, the heroine, Lady Lexi, has a pet ferret that plays a delightful role in bringing hero Cort--very alpha, very handsome--and Lexi together. At books's end, when not one but two mysteries are resolved, I put the book down with reluctance that the story had ended. Overall, a light, enjoyable look at life in Norman England in the eleventh century.
