Lisa Hendrix fell in love for the first time at age 10 (with both of the Men from U.N.C.L.E., for those of you who remember that far back) and has been fascinated by the whole concept of love ever since. That interest led her naturally enough to reading romance novels, and then to writing them–-which, coincidentally, put her in a hotel elevator with Robert Vaughn at an RWA conference. Still waiting for that equally serendipitous encounter with David McCallum, she has five published books under her belt and is now working on an extended series about a crew of cursed Viking raiders. The first, IMMORTAL WARRIOR, will be published by Berkley in November 2008.
