Alabama native Paula Graves wrote her first book at the age of six, a mystery starring herself and her neighborhood friends. A voracious reader, she loves books that pair a tantalizing mystery with compelling romance. When she's not reading or writing, she works as a creative director for a Birmingham advertising agency and spends time with her family and friends. She is a member of Southern Magic Romance Writers, Heart of Dixie Romance Writers and Romance Writers of America.

Paula's debut book, a Harlequin Intrigue titled FORBIDDEN TERRITORY, hits the shelves in June 2006. Visit her website: www.paulagraves.com.
