While this particular manuscript was rejected, the publishers bought another of her stories Reckless Angel and published it right away. The first stories she published were rejected by publishers, but when Harlequin started their Shadows line, Maggie Shayne promptly sent in a manuscript of a book she was sure would fit in with their style. She was born a story teller and in her childhood she would make up alternate endings for stories she’s read or tell her own stories during baby sitting, a job she did to earn enough money to buy herself a typewriter so she can put her stories to paper. Maggie Shayne ( website) is an American author born in a rural area near New York. Reading the Maggie Shayne books in order is a feast not only for her romantic suspense series fans, but also for those who love her paranormal romance series (which is how I first learned about the author as well, by first reading her Wings In The Night (also called Twilight) vampire romance series some 20 years ago, when vampire romances were all the rage).
