Award-winning author Roxanne Rustand has sold fourteen novels to Harlequin
Superromance as of 2005. Her books, which have been translated into five languages,
center on family relationships and romance, with mystery or suspense woven
in. She was also a contributor to KUNI Public Radio's 2001 murder mystery novel, "Orchestrated
Murder."
Roxanne discovered romance novels when a friend handed her a Judith McNaught
historical and dared her to put it down. She did--but not until four o'clock
the next morning. Completely hooked, she spent the next few years devouring
all of the romances she could find, and eventually thought it would be fun
to try writing one herself. Her first manuscript won a Romance Writer's of
America Golden Heart for Best Long Contemporary. Her second manuscript was
a Golden Heart finalist, and was published by Superromance in August, 1999.
As of 2005, Roxanne has presented writing workshops at national writers' conferences
in California, New York, Washington DC, Texas, Colorado and Nevada, and at
regional conferences throughout the Midwest. She was a co-founder of Heart
of Iowa Fiction Authors, and is also a member of Authors Guild, Novelists Inc.,
and various writers groups across the country.
She has a Master's Degree in Nutrition and works as a registered dietitian
for a residential psychiatric facility. She and her husband have three children,
and live in the country with a host of dogs, cats, horses, and a snake named
Igor, who insisted on appearing in her first book.
