Desiree Lindsey remembers the first steamy historical novella she wrote and how when she stopped trying to subdue her natural gift for erotic stories and just write, she won an award for her love scene and sold the book. Things have come a long way since then. Romantica has launched itself into the millennium and Desiree has gone on to bestseller status with her debut novel. She has talked about her book and her entrepreneurship on the WB2 TODAY SHOW, interviewed on a local radio station and spoken to writing groups on creating great love scenes. Desiree explains just like in real time life, attaction and love are natural catalysts for making love. It's like riding along in the back seat and seeing the characters' love for one another unfold before your eyes and watch every touch, every breathy response and feel the tingles. That's the best part of her job. Which falls right after helping out with the photoshoot for the hunk on your cover and discovering he's not only got the hottest body going on, but possesses all the "perfect hero" qualities to go with a charming personality.

Living in the majestic foothills of Colorado, Desiree Lindsey writes and dreams and creates her passion for your pleasure. She shares her living space with two teenagers and a real life hero of her own. She gets her inspiration from her passion for living life to the fullest. She sends her thanks, "My gratitude goes to all those who read my stories, for I couldn't realize my dreams without you. May your life be lived with passion...your hearts filled with joy. Happy reading to you!"
