Rosemary Rey never realized she wanted to be a writer, despite setting a huge Smith-Corona typewriter on her lap at age ten, smudging black typewriter ribbon ink on her small fingers, and writing short stories based on her vivid imagination. After rediscovering Romance, Erotica, and Contemporary Women's Fiction, she left her law practice to write her first Romantic Suspense novel before turning forty, which became her first series--The Pentagon Group. Her favorite storylines contain plot twists and cliffhangers. When she's not writing, she's watching sports, Hallmark Romance and Movies and Mysteries films on repeat, and The Golden Girls before drifting off to sleep; she hopes to be as sexy and alluring as Blanche in her second half of life. Rosemary Rey lives in the Midwest with her husband and three children.
