| Introduction | I’m a retired library manager and a full-time writer. I’ve co-authored several non-fiction books: The Suffragists in Literature for Youth: The Fight for the Vote; Romance Today: An A-to-Z Guide to Contemporary American Romance Writers; The Complete Idiot’s Guide to the Ultimate Reading List; the What Do I Read Next? series and Crash Course in Library Supervision. I’ve won two Romance Writers of America’s Veritas awards and was RWA’s 2001 Librarian of the Year. I review books for both Booklist and Library Journal. I’m also half of the romance writing team of Deborah Shelley. The other half, Deborah Mazoyer, is the Director of Building Safety for the city of Glendale, AZ. Our newest romantic comedy, Marriage 101, is a BookPage Notable Title, and is being re-issued in large print. Our novels have been translated into Dutch, Danish, French, Russian, Norwegian, and Portuguese. My family has been incredibly understanding about the time I spend writing, but my cats feel it takes too much attention away from them. |

You can whistle and steam can whistle, so why do you sing in the shower?
I sing in the shower because I'm happy. My voice bounces off the shower walls and sounds much richer than normal. The rushing sound of the water hides my bad notes. When I'm in the shower, no one cares whether or not I've forgotten the lyrics.
