Behind the byline
About the author
I've been writing for over 50 years, having grown up on romance that had the bodice ripper covers. The covers portrayed more of the romance sometimes than what was inside. But I was still hooked. After reading June Lund Shiplett, Johanna Lindsey, Janet Dailey, and Kathleen Woodiwiss, I felt I could write one so I tried and though I wrote my first contemporary romance back in the 80s, I published it, Wilderness Heart, in 2011 and since have pubished A Timeless Hero - a timetravel historical romance set in NE corner of present day Oklahoma and in the 1880s. I have a 4 book series I'm currently working on that are second chance at love, modern day problem romances. I also write under JR Hopkins for every genre out there including non-fiction and in 15 years of self-publishing, I have published 15 books.
