Jennifer Crusie is the New York Times, Publishers Weekly, and USA Today bestselling author of Welcome to Temptation, Tell Me Lies, Crazy for You, Faking It, Fast Women, Bet Me, and Maybe This Time. She has also collaborated with Bob Mayer to write Wild Ride, Agnes and the Hitman and Don't Look Down, Anne Stuart and Eileen Dreyer to write The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes, and with Anne Stuart and Lani Diane Rich to write Dogs and Goddesses. Crusie earned her bachelor's degree from Bowling Green State University, a master's from Wright State University, and a master of fine arts in fiction from Ohio State University. Before devoting herself to writing full-time, Crusie worked as a preschool teacher, an elementary and junior high art teacher, and a high school English teacher. She lives on a small lake in New Jersey, close to family and friends, which makes her very, very happy.
Jennifer Crusie was researching her dissertation on the differences in the way men and women tell stories when she got sidetracked into writing romance novels.
Her first book was published in 1993 (which pretty much finished off any hope of her getting that PhD) and her twenty-second book, Maybe This Time, came out in August of 2010, all of which she considers a minor miracle, especially since she is also a New York Times, USA Today and Publishers Weekly bestselling author and a two-time Rita award winner.
