Author Margaret Mayo is an accomplished novelist of contemporary romance and has written for both Mills & Boon and Harlequin Enterprises. Recently she self-published several books, but fortunately for her current publishers, prefers to have more writing time than this allows. Ms. Mayo lives in the UK, in the part Tolkien called Middle England. She left school at fifteen, learned shorthand and typing, got married when she was twenty-two, and had two children. She tells us, "And that was as interesting as it got – until June 14, 1974, when I began to write. I have always been a reader of romance and when I began to write them it was like a dream come true. Two years and eight books later, I gave up secretarial work for good. I'm now the author of my 80th romance novel."
