Family by Design

 

The mother of four daughters, Roxanne Delaney often says she's living proof that PMS (theirs) causes temporary insanity (hers). After two granddaughters, the tradition was finally broken by her first grandson, and she's thrilled!

Being born and raised in Kansas hasn't kept her confined to the Wheat State. As a child, she traveled with her parents, visiting forty-eight of the U.S. states, Mexico, Canada, and even a trip at the age of three to Havana, Cuba.

Reading has always been a major part of her life, but so has acting. A theater buff, she was involved in four of her high school productions. Later, while married and living on a farm, she helped establish a community theater in her hometown where she both acted in and directed the productions, as well as served on the board of directors.

After her youngest daughter was born and with her oldest in middle school, she began writing juvenile books, but soon turned to romance. She loves to hear from readers! You can contact her through her website, listed below.
