Also listed on the International Movie Database (IMDB), she collaborated on the indie horror films In the Woods and Savage with screenwriting and ADR script credits, and even played the character “Bar Extra.”

A national speaker on writing in general and romance in particular, Gideon is a Western Michigan University honors grad with a major in journalism and minors in history and communications. She’s a member of Novelist, Inc. and the Mid-Michigan, Greater Detroit, PASIC and FF&P chapters of Romance Writers of America®, and is former vice-president, published author co-liaison and award-winning newsletter editor for MMRWA.

The mother of two grown sons, one married and proud producer of her grandson and the other shanghaied into being her occasional assistant, she 's retired from 18 years as a legal assistant.

A prolific writer, Gideon who also writes as Dana Ransom and Lauren Giddings, attributes her creative output, which once peaked at seven novels in one year, to her love of history and a gift for storytelling. She also credits the discipline learned through a background in journalism and scheduling writing time around diaper changes, Scout meetings, band lessons and outings to the Zoo Boo...and, of course, OCD. The due date for her third book and her second son were on the same day...and both were early! When on deadline, she'd turn on the laptop between 4:30 and 5:00 a.m. to get a chapter in before work.

While the pace is often hectic, Gideon, a Gemini, enjoys tackling diverse projects. One month it’s researching the gritty existence of 1880’s Texas Rangers only to jump to modern themes of intrigue and possibly a legal thriller or two. Then, it’s back to the shadowy netheworld of shape shifters, vampires and movie serial killers. When not working on her latest plot twist before sunrise, even now that she no longer works 9-5, she enjoys indulging in Netflix, hosting her critique group, and feeding all things fur, fin and fowl. And, of course, reading. ...more

LOL! NOT erotica but HOTica, perhaps. I've got two books, one from my vampire and one from my shapeshifter series on sale. That'd be a good place to start. Thanks for the Friend!

Thank you for friending me. I haven't yet read any of your books, but I've been curious about them. I guess I can special order the hardcopies, in some way, as I haven't seen them in the bookstores I can get to. I don't...knowingly... read Erotica, but I love reading about the good guy/good gals shifters. Have a great day.

I published my first in . . . gulp . . . 1987! But I've been actively putting stories on paper since I could construe a sentence, lol! It's the only thing I've ever wanted to do and have been lucky enough to be able to do it for 25 years.

Max and Charlotte continue as strong secondary characters in the next two boosk so a lot of their issues/storyline gets picked up and developed along with that of the new heroes and heroines. And yes, that cliffhanger is answered ;-)

Thanks for accepting my invite! I adore Max and Charlotte. Will you be going back to them soon? I feel their story is unfished, Especially with the big question you left hanging at the end of Bound by Moonlight!
