About the Author
Although published in various genres of romance, both in
print and electronic format, my first novel was historical,
released by Warner Books (before the big merger with
Time) in 1989. Faith and Honor has since been
reprinted and the second in the trilogy released. Most
recently I am enjoying an association with New
Concepts Publishing and had a brief but satisfying
association with Inara Press. I also have an illustrated
children's e-book published and hope to publish more
children's books in the near future.
The rural village in Pennsylvania where I reside with my
husband and our multiple pets has provided much of my
recent inspiration. The fact that my three sons are all
grown has allowed me more time to pursue writing. As
one might expect, my feelings regarding that
circumstance are mixed. However, they do not live very
far away and I see them often.

| Heating up the night with romance author Celia Ashley aka Robin Maderich/Alyssa Deane |
My interest in writing began at an early age when I wrote my first book in the second
grade. Titled Windy Day, the book was thirty pages of unpracticed prose about a girl
and her horse (what else?), complete with illustrations. From that point, I read the first
time through a book for pleasure and subsequent readings were spent dissecting what
had caught and kept my interest, the style in which the book was written, the flow or
phrasing and the particulars of description. Enamored of the lyrical quality of the written
word, I was hooked. My love of history, research, the intricacies of detail and stretching
my imagination have aided me immensely through the ever-expanding process of learning
my craft.
I hope to continue writing for a long time to come, sharing my work with wonderful
readers. To you, my thanks!
