Averil Reisman enjoyed a long career as a journalist before turning her talent toward writing fiction. As a journalist, she has written for newspapers, computer industry trade journals, not-for-profits, magazines, and early internet and touchscreen ventures before finding her true writing passion—romance.
She turned her love of ferreting out a news story into a love of research, and often finds herself lost in books, the internet, and libraries before writing a single word.
She now considers writing romance her full time job, and is at her desk every day in a study filled with books. Had she known the joy of writing romance, she would have started earlier in her career.
