A former science geek, Susan Kay Law turned to romance writing as a career because it was the perfect excuse to avoid housework and continue spending all her time doing what she really loved: reading and daydreaming. Also because she was really bad at sitting in a swamp at 5 a.m. in 40-degree weather and tracking bird behavior. Winner of the Romance Writers of America's Golden Heart Award and a Waldenbooks Bestseller award—and twice nominated for a RITA Award—she confesses that the biggest surprise of her career was when this small town Midwestern preacher's kid was named to New Woman magazine's list of "the steamiest writers of women's fiction." Her greatest joy, however, is spending her days thoroughly outnumbered by four of the best males on the planet: her husband and three sons. She currently lives in Minnesota, and plans to be a ski bum in her next life.
