From a young age I have always longed to write, I discovered "trashy" paperback romance novels at eleven years old and have been hell on wheels ever since. I have had the "hobby" of writing IR romances since 1993, and I freely admit, far to young to be writing that kind of salacious material.
But the writing bug had caught me and on and off I wrote and wrote, thousands of pages in long hand all the way until 2002. I've never taken a writing class so all that I know is through my own painstaking practice and the help of patient editors and wonderful fellow authors.
I love writing interracial romances because to me it adds a great layer complexity to a story, that is unique to the romance genre. I am a member of this growing cult following of IR and enjoy many current authors who write these stories. However, though I tell multicultural stories, I never weigh my novels too heavily in racial politics, not because I don't feel it's relevant, but because I like to concentrate more on the adventure of having two characters fall in love.
I enjoy celebrating their differences through that love over having to constantly fight the world to validate why they are together. More often then not, my characters fight each other so much in games of wit and passion they have no time to worry about society's opinion.
