title: An Uptown Girl and A Cowboy: A Romantic Suspense (Saddle Creek) (Volume 2)
author:  Lorelei Confer 
description: I live on a densely populated peninsula in the mid west coast of Florida with my husband, (my high school sweetheart) one cat, and AJ, my long-haired Chihuahua. Ive (with the help of my husband) raised two grown respectable and responsible sons, who have given me two daughters-in law and two grandchildren, who happen to live in North Carolina. I have trekked all over the country, including Wyoming, New Mexico, and Montana, which are some of my favorite settings for my books. In the fourth grade, I wrote my first story in the form of a playsomething about getting a shot at the doctorthat actually was produced by my teacher for parents and students in an assembly. When I was older, I spilled my guts in a journal every night and wrote long newsy love letters to Viet Nam to my now husband of 46 years. I majored in English in college and worked in the finance arena as a CFO for thirty-five years. I am a multi published author of Romantic Suspense with six books out by Siren-Bookstrand Publishing, one series of three named The Deadly series, and the second series of four named the Saddle Creek series. I self-published a compilation of four short Christmas stories: Christmas Awakenings. Ive set aside Thursdays as my day to write my own work and stick rigidly to this schedule. Currently, I am a member of the American Writers &amp; Artists, Inc., Romance Authors of America,(RWA) my local chapter of RWA, Tampa Area Romance Authors, (TARA), Crimescene Writers, and Kiss of Death. I am a mentor/writing coach to others helping them plot, write, complete, self-edit, and prepare their books for submission as well as a freelance editor. As an author of romantic suspense, I love reading almost as much as writing. I have filled my book shelves with my favorites, i.e. Harlan Colban, Eliza March, Johanna Lindsey, Kathleen Woodiwiss, Terri Garey, Karen Rose, BJ Daniels, Andrew Gross, and Bobbi Smith, just to mention a few, as well as all the classics. Personal Interest: I love scrapbooking and genealogy, connecting stories with pictures. But my interests have changed as Ive grown older. (Im not really that old.) Now, I really enjoy writing stories, sometimes using my real life experiences to tell the tale.
