Bio: "About the Author: The most interesting thing about me is that when I sit down in front of my computer I sometimes become Jean Paradis, (pronounced paradise, it's French, and I found it on my family tree). It's taken me years to free Jean from the dungeon where 'nice girls' live and let her come out and play. The 'real' me has been married for twenty years to a man who is kind enough to only occasionally make comments about me being 'in la la land again', and has two amazingly wonderful children, a fat cat named Betty Boop, and lives in a town that is the absolute definition of suburbia: dull, but charming in its own way."
