About the author

Erin Delany

<p>Thank you so much for reading&nbsp;my books! I hope you&#39;ll&nbsp;find some that keep you from doing the dishes, or vacuuming, or maybe even cause you to stay up later than you&#39;d planned to (although I covet my sleep, so I&#39;d feel guilty if I was to blame for that too often!).<br /> <br /> I&#39;m the author of&nbsp;SLEEPING WITH WARD CLEAVER, winner of Romantic Times/Dorchester Publishing&#39;s American Title III contest, bestseller&nbsp;SLIM TO NONE,&nbsp;the IT&#39;S REIGNING MEN contemporary romance series, including SOMETHING IN THE HEIR, HEIR TODAY GONE TOMORROW, BAD TO THE THRONE, LOVE IS IN THE HEIR and SHAME OF THRONES (book 6, THRONE FOR A LOOP, comes out in March); ANYWHERE BUT HERE; WHERE THE HEART IS; the memoir&nbsp;BITE ME: A PARROT, A FAMILY AND A WHOLE LOT OF FLESH WOUNDS;&nbsp;the&nbsp;essay collection NAKED MAN ON MAIN STREET;&nbsp;&nbsp;two contemporary romances as&nbsp;Erin Delany: ACCIDENTALLY ON PURPOSE, &amp; COMPROMISING POSITIONS.&nbsp;I have a funny dog story in&nbsp;I&#39;M NOT THE BIGGEST BITCH IN THIS RELATIONSHIP.&nbsp;And I&#39;ve got many more novels in the works!<br /> <br /> I&#39;ve had pieces appear in Ladies Home Journal, the Washington Post, Marie-Claire.com, and on NPR&#39;s Day to Day. I honed my fiction writing skills while working as a publicist for a US Senator. Other jobs I&#39;ve held have included: an orthodontic assistant (learning quite readily that I wasn&#39;t cut out for a career in polyester), a waitress (probably my highest-paying job), a TV reporter, a pre-obituary writer, and a photographer (once being Prince Charles&#39; photographer in Washington!). Oh I&#39;m also the volunteer coordinator for the Virginia Film Festival, which is a great one!&nbsp;<br /> <br /> I live in Virginia with my husband and a small menagerie; we have three grown children, one of whom lives in Australia and I dream of visiting her there. I love all things Italian, regularly fantasize about traveling to exotic locales, and feel a little bit guilty for rarely attempting to clean the house.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> I hope you&#39;ll sign up for my newsletter so you can hear about upcoming releases and get special offers here: http://eepurl.com/baaewn</p><p><br /> Visit me at my website below and&nbsp;my facebook page http://www.facebook.com/jennygardinerbooks , or twitter http://twitter.com/jennygardiner<br /> <br /> Thanks again for your support!<br /> Jenny</p>
