Elisabeth Naughton, a former junior high school science teacher, traded in her red pen and test tube set for a laptop and research books. She now writes sexy romantic adventure and paranormal novels full-time from her home in western Oregon, where she lives with her husband and three children. Her work has been nominated for numerous awards, including the prestigious RITA Awards of Romance Writers of America, the Australian Romance Reader Awards, the Golden Leaf, and the Golden Heart. When not writing, Naughton can be found running, hanging out at the ball park, or dreaming up new and exciting adventures.
