Cerise DeLand loves to write about dashing heroes and the sassy women they adore.But I bet you knew that!Did you know that she's known for her poetic elegance and accuracy of detail?That she's an award-winning author of more than 40 novels and was first published in 1991 by Kensington, then Pocket Books, later by St. Martin's Press and independent presses?That her books have been monthly selections of the Doubleday Book Club and the Mystery Guild? Right. And she's won awards. Lots of them. Need details? Write to her. She'll send you the list!To research, she's dived into the oldest texts and dustiest library shelves. She also travels abroad taking good walking shoes, trusty notebooks and pens, plus camera! She visits chateaux and country homes she loves to people with her own imaginary characters.And at home every day? She cooks. Never dusts. (That can be a problem.) She goes swimming or pumps iron once a week and tries (desperately) to grow vegetables in her arid backyard in south Texas!
