Alexis Brockton first met James Callahan outside a New York City apartment building. It was 1946 and she was going to a party, one of the many held in the days following the end of World War II.
She knew that the rugged ex-marine wanted something from her and she was right. James Callahan did regret the part Alexis was to play in his plans for his new business, television. But he would use her or anybody else to get what he wanted.
Maura Seger was born in 1951. She and her husband, Michael, met while they were both working for the same company. They married after a whirlwind courtship that might have been taken directly from romance novel. She credits her husband's patient support and good humor for helping her fulfill the lifelong dream of being a writer.
She is happily at work on a new novel, because she finds that writing each romance is and adventure filled with fascinating people who never fail to surprise her. When she isn't writing, she keeps busy homeschooling her two children and thinking of new stories. She lives in New England, USA, with her husband, children and menagerie... mostly.
The only thing I liked was the history and insight into early TV, newscasting, etc. in the mid-20thc. Other than that, forget it. None of the characters appealed to me, and the h was self-centered, my-way-or-the-highway type. She didn't even wait to be sure her MIA husband was really dead (he wasn't) before she slept with another man (an affair, not a one-night of needing comfort thing) and it hadn't even been a year since he was first missing. Talk about crummy!
