About
I’m the kid with the vivid imagination and a whole slew of very interesting and unique made-up friends, lol. As I grew into a hopeless romantic, I was involved in some rather exciting and interesting jobs and volunteer work: backstage lighting designer, NYC Auxiliary Police, wannabe actress, under- cover retail investigation, NYS EMT – and then I became a writer. So I had a lot of good background to draw from and when I needed, I let my imagination run wild (again). Fortunately I have a very patient family who understands that being a fiction writer is… well, is a special case.
I also am a freelance writer with several non-fiction articles and human interest stories that have been published in regional and national newspapers and magazines. I write under the name Chelle Cordero here too. Working out of a home office is terrific because I don’t even have to get out of my jammies to come to work!

Story Behind The Book
How much would you be willing to give up for love? That was the random question that inspired me to write about Ben and Samantha and their young, unfulfilled love. Reunited years later, a lot has changed.

When the suspense continued to build to an almost breaking point, it made this good story that much better.<strong><em>"<br /><br /><a>Long & Short Reviews<br /></a></em><span class="UIStory_Message">"The very focused plot keeps us madly turning the pages, right to the very end"</span></strong>
