Jacie Floyd believes the Midwest is the best and most under-appreciated place to live... except for the uncertainty of the weather. Believing she was an island girl in a past life, she struggles with the bitter cold winters of Southwest Ohio and yearns for a view with crystal blue waters. From the time she read her first Nancy Drew mystery, she's been an avid reader and writer. After many years as a wife and mother with a nine-to-five job, the desire to create her own stories took over. While learning her craft as an unpublished author, she was honored to be named a six-time Golden Heart(TM) Finalst, and two-time Golden Heart(TM) winner by the Romance Writers of America. Finally giving in to the inevitable, she ditched the day job in order to self-publish the kind of stories she likes to read and write. She likes fresh, flirty, and fun contemporaries about strong women who deal with relatable situations in familiar settings. She hopes you like them too.
