My name is Michele, and I'm addicted to romance.

I picked up my first romance at age ten, a Jude Deveraux book I swiped from my mom's bookshelf. Though I read anything and everything, from mystery to history, mystery to non-fiction, I keep coming back to romance.

I love a steamy story (no closed-door bedroom scenes for me) but I also love the emotion behind the steam. There are a few authors who satisfy my craving for both, but more often than not I find stories are either heavy on the steam or heavy on the emotion. I decided to write my own to fill what I saw as a void.

They say to write what you know, which means romance is sort of an ironic choice for me. I love reading it, but am I the sort of person to offer up romantic gestures? No. Am I a cuddler? No. I'm more practical than romantic, and I find touching itchy. I probably shouldn't admit that if I want you to read my books, but for whatever reason the things I'm not good at in real life I do pretty well on paper. Or a Word document.

As a lover of all things active and outdoors, most of my books fall into the category of sports romance, although sports is not the main plot. And as a Colorado resident, I like to set my stories in this amazing state. So, if you're looking for a fun, steamy read to make you laugh, occasionally cry, and fuel your bedroom fantasies, take a chance on me!
