About the Author

In “real life,” I am a medical transcriptionist, working at home on the computer via modem. I also do free-lance editorial work for a well-known medical publisher, being on their editorial advisory board. I'm 45, divorced, a single mom with a teenage daughter and six cats.

I'm an alumni of the University of California Santa Barbara and the American University in Cairo, and I belong to Romance Writers of America and Mensa.

My favorite authors are Georgette Heyer, Anne McCaffrey, J.R.R. Tolkien and Dick Francis, followed closely by romance novels by Nora Roberts, Iris Johansen and Kay Hooper. And most recently, of course, I've become a Harry Potter fan! I'm following very closely the movie productions of both Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings.

All this aside, a writer is who and what I am... a romance writer. I write what I know, and what I know is romance. Dozens of story lines and literally hundreds of characters live and breathe within the not-so-narrow confines of my imagination, and it is my joy and pleasure to bring them to life, to share them with others by writing their stories. I'm very fortunate in my daughter who is very supportive of my writing. She brings me endless glasses of tea, is understanding when I suffer agonies over sentence structure, cheers me on when I'm on a roll, brags to all her high school friends about her “writer” mom (and by the way is a marvelous brainstorming partner), and who has had to learn to cook and do laundry in self defense!

Editorial Reviews

Ms. McCormack has penned a unique romance simply because the characters are not typically found in the romance genre. Teri and Mike lack the power and extreme wealth endemic to many heroes and heroines, adding a genuine feel to this read. Because they are able to overcome abusive backgrounds, their romance is even more poignant.
