Beverly Long

In between reading romance novels, Beverly managed to get married, get a bachelor's degree in business management, find a job, have two children, and go back to night school for a master's degree. It wasn't until 1996 that she decided to try her hand at writing her own romance novel. Fortunately, she was smart enough to join a writing group of like-minded souls - Romance Writers of America - and eight years and several more manuscripts later, in early 2004, she sold a book to Berkley Publishing.
