Janelle Denison has been writing romances for over ten years, and even from that first book she attempted to write (which is now stuffed in a box in the garage rafters) she knew she wanted to write category romance, because those were the kind of books she loved to read. It took her five years to make that first sale, which was to Harlequin for their "Stolen Moments" line. She no longer writes the sweet traditional romances, but have instead focused her writing efforts on Temptation, Blaze, and now Kensington Brava, for which she writes erotic romance -- anthologies and single titles.

She lives in Southern California with her engineer husband, whose incredible support and encouragement has enabled her to follow her dream of writing. Her two energetic daughters, Danielle and Kellie, certainly keep life interesting and give her plenty of ideas for the young, mischievous characters she includes in some of the books she writes. A few years ago, she left her day job as a construction secretary to write full-time. Now, she finds herself elbow deep in deadlines, proposals, contracts, line-edits, galleys, art-fact sheets, and other publishing paperwork. Writing is hard work, but she finds the rewards are well worth the effort.
