Tamala C Jones

I'm a Southern girl, born, bred, and educated in North Carolina. I'm the daughter of a high school English teacher and a US Army Master Sergeant who was a jump master with the 82nd Airborne. I first tried my hand at writing romance novels when I was twelve and already enamored with Harlequin romance and historical romance. Even then, I wanted to see myself represented in the stories I read. I deferred the dream, starting but not finishing several novels as side projects while earning a doctorate and building a career in academia. In the meantime, I'm living my own romance, married to the man who swept me off my feet over Colt 45 and homemade spaghetti. We have three beautiful children, two cats, and a dog. When I'm not spending time with my family or writing love stories, you can find me reading them or doing the work that, for now, pays the bills.
