National bestselling author Celeste O. Norfleet was a late bloomer to romance. But as soon as she picked up her first romance novel, she was hooked. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Celeste is a graduate of Moore College of Art & Design. An art director and graphic designer for many years, Celeste devotes all of her time to writing and creating romance, letting her artistic imagination flow through the computer keys. Her romance novels-realistic with a touch of humor-depict strong, sexy characters, unpredictable plots and exciting storylines. Her young-adult novels delve into dramatic fiction, reflecting current issues facing African-American teens. With over fifteen novels since making her first sale in 2002, she is still excited about writing. Celeste continues to gain critical acclaim and stellar reviews, including nominations for The Rose Award and Romantic Times Bookclub Reviewer's Choice Award. Celeste currently writes for Harlequin's Kimani Press Arabesque and Kimani Press TRU lines. Celeste lives in Virginia with her husband and two teenagers.For more information, visit her Web site or contact her at conorfleet@aol.com or P.O. Box 7346, Woodbridge, VA 22195-7346.
