Prior to becoming a writer of romantic and erotic fiction, Cindy Jacks went to college at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and graduated with a BFA in Art. After a brief attempt at an art career, she decided the 'starving artist' life wasn't for her. She worked for ten years in the corporate arena, but now spends her days as a full time author. Her first published work was inspired by a collection of short stories she wrote to entertain her best friend. Since then she's explored her inner bad girl, producing books full of humor and packed with real emotion. When not chained to her laptop, she enjoys belly dancing, international cooking, and making jewelry. She and her family make their home in the Washington, DC area.
