My husband is my own personal hero. On the inside of his wedding ring, I engraved, "My Hero", and that was long before I was ever a romance writer.  He is the master of making me smile and blush, my sounding board, the fixer of all things tech, my inspiration, the Lord High Bug Squisher, and the only one who can make my brain stop whirring and appreciate just being. He's also my research partner! As I write erotic romance, he really likes his job.

We met in high school, believe it or not. Though we didn't start going out until college. He was a guy who was a friend of a friend, someone I knew and liked, but who just seemed a little bit odd, a little bit crazy and a little bit incomprehensible. He still is, and I love it. In college, we happened to be in the same dorm at a very big university, and since we knew each other already we got to talking. And talking, and more talking. Until I realized that every minute I wasn't with him, I missed him terribly. That all the unrequited crushes I'd had in junior high and high school were nothing to the magnitude of the emotion I felt when I was with him.

And miracle of miracles, he felt the same. After one crazy all night session of talking and my first kiss, we've been together ever since. Sixteen years of knowing that I'm never alone, that somebody always has my back. We've taught each other everything, and we know each other inside and out.

We've faced joys and challenges together, including raising our beautiful, brilliant autistic son together with love and understanding. Always, my husband does his best to take of us, to share everything that he is. He's patient and kind, playful and damned sexy. I love him, and a little piece of him, that core of goodness, is within every hero I write.
