| Charlene Teglia decided she wanted to earn a living writing fiction at age twelve. After piling up enough written pages to sink Atlantis again, she sat down to write a novel and find out if it would sell. The first novel was so much fun that she got carried away and kept going, although it took another eight years to make her first novel sale.
In between, she worked for various software and technology companies. She left HP when she realized she wanted to write printer repair instructions in iambic pentameter. They thought she was so funny, they left her name plate on her cube after she left like a shrine. Or maybe it was as a warning to others. She lives in Washington with her husband and two daughters.
Her first Ellora’s Cave title released in February of 05. Since then her books have garnered several honors: 2005 Romantic Times Reviewer’s Choice Award for Best Erotic Novel, 2006 Romantic Times Reviewer’s Choice Award nominee for Best Erotic Romance, 2005 CAPA nomination for Best Erotic Anthology, 2007 Fantasm Award, two Love Romance’s Reviewer’s Choice Golden Rose Awards, four Fallen Angels Reviews Recommended Reads and she is a seven-time recipient of the 5 Blue Ribbon Award from Romance Junkies. |
