Nina's hilarious and sexy books have kept readers fanning themselves since publication of AN ORIGINAL SIN in 2000. Hot, funny, and deliciousy different, Nina's books have garnered great reviews and a loyal readership. Nina Bangs has one regret in her life. She wishes she started writing sooner. Instead of honing her writing skills, she spent her childhood reading horse novels. By high school, she was into dark and dangerous. She dreamed about wandering the world as a trench-coated foreign correspondent. Nina abandoned her trench coat once she reached college. Instead, she became a literary snob: If the novel didn't make her eyes cross, then it wasn't worth reading. The only things she wrote in college were research papers.

Once out of college, she taught for several years before going to Ireland with a friend. They stayed in Dublin two years and supported themselves by singing in pubs. They weren't very good, but they were young, enthusiastic, and wore miniskirts. Nina was too busy singing Irish folk songs to write. She eventually returned to New Jersey and reality. After teaching several more years, she grew restless again. Nina lived for short periods of time in Arizona and California before settling in Texas, where she finally began writing the romance novels she'd grown to love. Maybe the Texas in her blood accounts for her attachment to strong men, fast horses, and wide-open spaces.
