Elise MarionI first picked up a pen with with dreams of writing at the age of 12. Sitting at a little desk in front of my bedroom window, I wrote (by hand with pencil and paper) my first novel. It wasn't very good, but I'd never been more proud of anything in mylife. I've been writing ever since, and have found a love of romantic stories both sweet and sensual.When I'm not wrangling my three rambunctious kids, or spending time with my retired Army husband, I'm stretching the imagination with stories of people from all walks of life (and worlds) falling in love.I love coffee, chocolate, music (listening and singing), shoes, jewelry, and food! I am always in the kitchen whipping up something new or watching the pros do it on TV. You can often find my characters eating or cooking something delish and sucking down mass quantities of coffee.*3-Time In'Dtale Magazine Rone Award Finalist* Read More Read Less
