BEVERLY
BARTON
has been in love with romance since her
grandfather gave her an illustrated book of Beauty
and the Beast. An avid reader since childhood, she began
writing at the age of nine and wrote short stories, poetry, plays
and novels throughout high school and college. After marriage to
her own “hero” and the births of her daughter and son, she chose to
be a full-time homemaker, a.k.a. wife, mother, friend and
volunteer.
When she returned to writing, she joined
Romance Writers of America and helped found the Heart of Dixie
chapter in Alabama. Since the release of her first Silhouette book
in 1990, she has won the GRW Maggie Award, the National Readers’
Choice Award and has been a RITA finalist. Beverly considers
writing romance books a real labor of love. Her stories come
straight from the heart, and she hopes that all the strong and
varied emotions she invests in her books will be felt by everyone
who reads them.
