Mercy Celeste

I started reading romance when I was twelve years old. First Love from Silhouette and Bantam's Sweet Dreams line got me through my teens. I hid the 'dirty' historical romances under my bed like most pre-teens did. From the day I read The Outsiders by SE Hinton I knew what I wanted to write. Stories about boys... having adventures and falling in love.\n\nThe first 'grownup' romance I read as an actual grownup was Gentle Rogue by Johanna Lindsey. And my fate was sealed. Never looked back. The Fabioer the cover the more I wanted it. Virginia Henley, Kathleen E Woodiwiss, Nora Roberts. I read them all.\n\nThe bigger the hero. The more I loved it.\n\nNow I write the stories I never could find. Be they straight or gay, everyone deserves a Happy Ever After. And I plan to give them all just that, to the best of my ability.
