Speaker: Harlequin Intrigue author Carol Ericson
Best-selling series romance author Carol Ericson suffers from a lack of privacy. She always has a few characters floating in her head as well as snippets of dialogue and several "what if" scenarios. She periodically purges all these voices and images by writing stories of romantic suspense for Harlequin Intrigue. The first two books in her Brothers in Arms series, Navy SEAL Security and Mountain Ranger Recon, spent three weeks and two weeks, respectively, on Neilson Bookscan's top 100 romances and two weeks and one week, respectively, on Borders' top ten series romance list. When she's not writing, Carol is working as a technical writer for Northrop Grumman, reading other fabulous stories, or running to her teenage sons' soccer matches, water polo and basketball games. Carol and her family live in El Segundo near the beach, where Carol is now officially the shortest person in her household.
