About
the
Author

Janice
Maynard
came to writing early in life. When her short
story
The Princess
and
the
Robbers
won a red ribbon in her third-grade school
arts fair, Janice was hooked. She holds a B.A. from Emory and Henry College and
an M.A. from EastTennessee State University. In 2002 Janice left a fifteen-year
career as an elementary teacher to pursue writing full-time. Her first love is
creating sexy, character-driven, contemporary romance. She has written for
Kensington and NAL, and now is so very happy to also be part of the Harlequin
Books family—a lifelong dream, by the way!

Janice and her husband live in beautiful east Tennessee in
the shadow of the Great Smoky Mountains. She loves to travel and enjoys using
those experiences as settings for books.

Hearing from readers is one of the best perks of the job!
