Christine Ashworth grew up listening to the sound of her father's manual typewriter as he wrote and sold over 300 novels. Now, to her delight, she's the one writing novels. But as her dad is still writing away, she's got some major catching up to do.

Christine is a romantic from way back, having first picked up Harlequin romances at the age of twelve, then falling in love with bigger books when she swiped her mother's copy of Rosemary Rogers' Sweet Savage Love. She's happily married to an actor/dancer/guitarist/hippy, has two sons, and tends to her garden and her family in southern California. You can read about her cooking, gardening, and wine picks at her website.
