Qwen Salsbury was born in Kansas and somehow keeps ending up back there. Raised on her grandparent's five acre homestead within the city limits, her imagination was honed during long days of quiet play and spartan access to a TV signal. Now mother to handsome boys, she strives to ensure they appreciate potential adventures found within the pages of a book, an honest day's work, and what ingenuity may yield from mundane objects like a string and a cup. After spending time in corporate America, she returned to school and received a BA in English - Creative Writing/poetry from Pittsburg State University, the alma mater of Pulitzer Prize winning poet, James Tate. She worked on a Masters there until going on to receive a juris doctorate from Washburn School of Law. Predominantly a writer of romance, her romantic fiction varies from contemporary to historical to fantasy, though often with a humorous slant and poetic undertones.
