After graduating from Stanford University with a degree in English Literature, Jami Alden’s writing appeared in many software marketing brochures and corporate web sites. But she quickly realized writing romance was a lot more fun. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her socially well adjusted alpha male husband, her son, and two dogs that patiently listen to dialogue and help her work out plot points. When she’s not writing sexy romance, she enjoys running, reading, yoga and a borderline unhealthy love of the Food Network.
