Doreen Roberts was born in London before the onset of WWII, and spent many days in bomb shelters, where she entertained her classmates by making up stories. She contributes her love of writing suspense to those perilous times, when just waking up in the mornings was a major victory. Doreen now lives in Oregon with her husband, Bill, and Bella, a chihuahua who's the boss. Doreen has written over sixty books, and has made the Waldenbooks Top Ten Romance list seven times.
