LYNDA AICHER

I love to read. This has been true since I discovered the worlds of Judy Blume at the age of ten. This love of reading transferred to young romance which hooked me on the genre and the fulfillment that comes with a happy ever after ending. 

Many years later, I'm still an avid reader of all types of romance. The diversity of writing in the market ensures that there is always something new to read. I'm still a sucker for the HEA because there are more than enough not so happy endings in the real world. I read a book for enjoyment and I want to feel good when the story ends.

I have the luxury of being a full-time writer. That is, a full-time writer around my duties as mom, wife, cleaner, cook, chauffeur, master scheduler, banker, cheerleader, volunteer, and tutor. Writing has to be a priority, or it would never happen. 

I live in the Pacific Northwest which provides many months of rain-filled incentive to stay indoors and write. However, I'm a Midwesterner at heart. A perfect day has the snow falling outside, a fire warming the room, a football game on the television, a roast cooking in the oven, my family hanging out around me and a good book to read.
