I write contemporary romantic comedy. I grew up in the Midwest and now make my home in northern Arizona. Sadly, I suffer from the well-documented Hittle family curse of being a Cubs fan - but I will root for the Diamondbacks until they run up against the Cubs. Longtime friends are amazed I write books with sports in them, since I'm about as coordinated as a newborn giraffe and used to say marching band required more exertion than golf. I walk into the edge of a desk or table at least three times a week and am lucky to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time. Umm, did I mention I rarely chew gum?
