Hi I'm Nicola Ormerod Wife, mother
and now hopefully writer.

I live in Aberdeen, Scotland with my Husband, Simon and my two wonderful boys. I began writing at school and Red's Robin was one of the first book i completed. It was originally a diary and Robin wasn't the fiery model we see today. In all honesty it was probably a very very poor attempt but hey how many fourteen year olds have written a book.

I have written Red's Robin three or four times over in the last fifteen years and finally after a lot of encouragement from friends I have decided I'm ready to unleash it on the world.

If you liked Red's Robin please please please email me and tell me. This book is totally self published and its cost me a small fortune. The second book, The Taming of Ilona is finished but I’m really hoping an agent will take me on board. So email me, you could well be helping me on the way to a dream career.

I’ve literally been writing my entire life. The writing bug bit me when I was six years old. One evening before Thanksgiving, my mother handed me some brown wrapping paper and a green crayon to shut me up for a while. I penned a story about a Thanksgiving turkey who escapes becoming dinner, and now, here I am still writing as I cater to the voices in my head. It wasn’t until I was seventeen that I started submitting material to professional markets. During my senior year of high school, I had to write a short story based on a black-and-white photo. The teacher, Mrs. Greene, read it to the class and urged me to submit it somewhere. I did, submitting it to Ladies Home Journal, only to get a rejection. However, the editor who declined the story took the time to write a nice, handwritten letter, encouraging me to keep writing. And so I have.
Now, represented by an amazing agent, I’m still churning out multi-genre tales, but focusing on paranormal fiction. Ideas come to me out of the clear blue sky, and, as if someone opens a lid on my skull and dumps everything in to it, all the characters, their personalities, the plots, subplots, settings-everything!-come to me completely intact. I’m told I’m odd because so many writers struggle to put their stories together, but to me, I’m simultaneously blessed and cursed. It’s wonderful to be able to create like I do, but on the flip side, my brain and all its fictional denizens often keep me awake at night.
Anything and everything inspires me. I write because I must, because if I don’t, the characters nag me until I do. Writing is my soul, my life.
Step into my fictional worlds and allow me to weave some magic into romance.

Desirée Lee is an amalgam wrapped inside of an enigma; a book junkie,
vampire and self-proclaimed geek with a fascination bent toward the dark and
macabre. When not writing or reading, she is usually trying to catch up on
elusive moments of sleep, now that she's over her role-playing game
addiction! She still loves the dark, evil characters. If word ever got out that
she was secretly a level 15 paladin, her reputation would be ruined.
Des currently lives in a hole-in-the-wall town in Northern California in a small, crooked house
that makes for a perfect writing cave.

Take a shy, chubby, Catholic school girl bookworm from Montana. Hand her a stack of her much older brother’s sci fi and fantasy novels, James Bond books and horror comics. Later, introduce Barbara Cartland and the world of romance fiction. In college, turn her boy, party and rock n roll crazy.

Get her a job or two in authentic, one room Montana schools, ala Laura Ingels Wilder.

Marry her off to a great guy, move her to a big city in Tornado Alley, then pop three daughters out of her in twenty two months(one set of identical twins).

Then, make her a jinx–every great genre TV show she loves gets the ax– Beauty and the Beast, Dark Angel–and Buffy and Spike NEVER have a happy ending! She gets upset about no romance in the world, and fires up to write her own stories with happy endings.

Throw this all together into a small house in Wyoming, along with a large dog and too many cats, shake constantly and pour it out onto a computer keyboard.

There! You have me, Melisse Aires.

PS. I write fantasy romance under the name Becca Furrow!
