Writing books is a dream come true for Mardi Ballou. Multi-published in erotic and mainstream romance, Mardi lives in Northern California with her hero husband, a knight in shining armor who provides both tech support and professional massage. (No, she doesn’t share.)

Mardi loves to travel, racking up frequent flyer miles to visit her family in England and her native country, New Jersey. She wishes she could live in a structure big enough to house all the books and quilts she covets and have enough time to enjoy them all.

She’s still waiting to achieve her second major dream—winning an Oscar in some yet-to-be-created category she might qualify for.
