Beverly Bird confesses to having been the prototype of the rebellious teenager. By the age of five — when she tried to rewrite the ending to The Wizard of Oz because it scared her — she knew she would be a writer. Therefore, the high school regimen was obviously not for her, and childhood was just something to get through before she could make her mark on the world. On one memorable occasion, she stood up in chemistry class to inform her teacher that she did not need to understand the subject because in a few years she would be writing for a living anyway. She failed the class, of course. Then, some 20 years later, she had to face the teacher at a reunion and admit that when she had to research DNA for a recent book she still had no clue what it was about!

Since words are meant to be read and not eaten, she turned seriously to writing when she was 22. The stars aligned for a time — she was single and her rent was astronomically low because she looked after the elderly lady who owned the building. She'd just gotten laid off from an advertising job with a newspaper due to budget cuts and therefore had an unemployment check coming in weekly. She decided that it was now or never — and Emeralds in the Dark was born, published by Silhouette to launch the Intimate Moments line in 1983. Since then, she has published 20 books with Silhouette as well as several romantic suspense and historical novels. She prefers strong heroines with hidden soft spots and a penchant for getting themselves into trouble, figuring that she has had some experience herself in that area.

Though she has lived in several places in the United States, she returned to her roots to live on a barrier island off the coast of New Jersey with her son and a Chihuahua named Taco, where periodically she risks running into that chemistry teacher. But these days, she is much less rebellious and tends to tuck tail and run when she encounters someone she probably ticked off 25 years ago! She loves to hear from readers but admits that she is seriously negligent about actually traveling to the post office and snail-mailing her replies. She asks that anyone who would like to contact her please do so via email at Bvrlye@aol.com

Out of Nowhere
4 Stars

Locked in a contentious lawsuit against her step-brother, Tara Cole becomes the prime suspect when she stumbles across his dead body. Detective Fox Whittington is convinced the beautiful socialite knows more than she's saying, but his determination to uncover the truth is surpassed by his desire to kiss her senseless.

The mystery, which revolves around the murder of Tara's step-brother and the disappearance of a mysterious ruby, is quite lively although it is definitely the romance that takes center stage.

Tara and Fox are an engaging couple and their opposites attract relationship is pretty steamy for a category romance. Fox is sexy and sweet with his soft Southern drawl and charming smile. Tara is prickly Yankee go-getter who isn't about to let Fox's Savannah manners get the better of her.

The only element that doesn't work is Belle, the excitable Chihuahua with apparent supernatural powers.

All in all, a fast-paced story with a cute romance.

upstairs neighbor Sam proposes an arrangement with single Mom Mandy - a no-strings affair, and no falling in love. Only it doesn't quite work out that way in this humorous read

from the convention; nice book about the last years of the plains indians, during the late 1800's Indian wars. Eagle is a squaw who marries one Dog People Man, but then becomes promised to another - and finally weds him when her first husband is killed. Excellent job of telling the story from Eagle's perspective - the joys and hardships of being a Cheyenne Indian and their social strata, and why they just didn't fit the mold that the White's created for them.

I am leaning towards four stars on this historical romance. (True lovers of historical romance might give it five). Why? Because the author weaves into the passionate love story of Eagle Voice and Fire Wolf the plight of the Cheyenne tribe, how they are slowly pushed from their hunting grounds and betrayed time and again by worthless treaties, giving the rather generic romance form solid historic and cultural foundation. Told mostly from the POV of the Cheyenne, the love between Eagle Voice and Fire Wolf become symbolic of courage and survival against impossible odds.… (lisätietoja)
