A native Floridian, Irene Estep resides in the Central Florida area with her husband of 30+ years. She has a large family, and she enjoys the chaotic holidays and the special family events when everyone gets together.

Irene, an award-winning author, has five romantic suspense novels and one regency romance in publication. She is a member of Romance Writers of America and very active in two local RWA chapters--has served on their boards and chaired committees for both. She’s also a member of the on-line Mystery/Suspense chapter of RWA, better known as Kiss of Death. And she belongs to EPIC (Electronically Published Internet Connection). Her favorite pastimes are watching spectator sports with her husband (golf and football mostly) and, of course, reading romance novels.
