Irish Winters is a best-selling author of military romance who, when she isn't writing, dabbles in poetry, grandchildren, and rarely-as in extremely rarely-the kitchen. More prone to be outdoors than in, she grew up the quintessential tomboy on a dairy farm in rural Wisconsin, spent her teenage years in the Pacific Northwest, but calls the Wasatch Mountains of Northern Utah, home. For now. She believes in making every day count for something, and follows the wise admonition of her mother to, "Look out the window and see something!"
