Bestselling, award-winning author Heidi Betts began her love affair with the romance genre in junior high school, where she used to sneak romance novels into study hall when she should have been doing her homework. It didn't take long to decide she wanted to write a few romances of her own, so she set out to do just that.Her first book was released by Dorchester Publishing in 2000, with five more to follow. From there, Heidi moved into the contemporary arena by writing numerous category titles for Silhouette Desire, and recently she signed with St. Martin's Press to begin writing funny, sexy single titles.
With each new book, Heidi asks herself how she can bring to life endearing heroes and heroines whom readers will believe are meant for each other. And with each new novel to hit the stands, readers and reviewers alike declare she knows how to create a story that sizzles, charms, and delights from the first page to the last. Her first title for Silhouette Desire landed at #1 on the Waldenbooks/Borders Series Romance Bestseller List, where her books have continued to make an appearance ever since.
Heidi loves to read, write, watch movies (and just a little too much television), and surround herself with furry, four-legged friends in her home in the beautiful hills of Central Pennsylvania.

Book three in Heidi Betts' Chicks With Sticks SeriesSHE'S CUTTING HIM LOOSE
When it comes to relationships, talk show host Grace Fisher won't stand for cheating - especially not from her fiance, star hockey goalie Zack Hoolihan. Her weekly knitting group backs her up when she calls it off, but it doesn't entirely ease the sting of betrayal. She won't listen to Zack’s indignant explanations of innocence - she just wants to tie up loose ends and move on. Until he winds up injured, that is, and she finds herself playing nursemaid...
NOW HE'S THROWN FOR A LOOP
Zack doesn't know how that woman got into his hotel room, but he does know losing Grace has put him so far off his game, he ended up with a busted knee and a broken heart. If things aren't mended fast, he'll miss the playoffs, miss his girl, and lose everything. But if Grace is willing to push him into physical therapy, maybe he can pull her back into his arms - before their truce unravels. This time, he'll do everything it takes to knit their relationship back together...

I think this was a clever idea for a trilogy and was wondering when did the art of knitting come into your life.

Heidi was so upset the computer gremlins that kept her locked out of her very own cyber party - can you say frustrating? - that she is inviting all of you over to her place - The Dungeon - http://www.heidibetts.com/wipsandchains/ on Thursday, Feb 4th for a "to be continued" cyber launch party where she'll answer all the questions and comments left for her here as well as party with anyone else who couldn't make it to this party!
ReplyDeleteSounds fun!!! Everyone who stops by will get in on another chance to win an autographed copy of your choice of the first book books in her Chicks With Sticks Trilogy.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by to party with on Heidi's behalf yesterday and congrats to Anita Clenney - you won!!! I'll be contacting you today to see which book you'd like!
