Books and more books! Bryndis Rubin has always been surrounded by books, beginning with a happy childhood filled with crowded bookshelves and then on to a job as a library page during her high school years. After attaining her English and Political Science degrees from the University of Michigan, she went on to obtain a Master of Arts in Library Science at the University of Missouri-Columbia. And then the adventure began...

Marrying her college sweetheart meant also tying the knot with the United States Marine Corps. Bryndis was soon whisked off into the military world. Moving from duty station to duty station has given her the opportunity to travel the country and obtain diverse library jobs. She has worked as a reference librarian, a children's librarian, and as a branch librarian. After moving to Southern California, Bryndis met author Catherine Snodgrass, who encouraged her to write towards her true interest, romance novels. Together, Bryndis and Catherine coauthored a romantic suspense, Always Faithful (available now in electronic format and soon to be released in paperback), a novel of love and intrigue set in the world of the Marine Corps. To their delight, it was accepted for publication and they began working on the sequel, Ice Princess (coming in November from AQP). Additionally, this writing team has also just finished the third book in the series, Judging Ellie (scheduled for release in early 2003). Bryndis has gotten to know many strange and wonderful people during her journeys. She often uses some of her more colorful acquaintances as inspiration for creating quirky and colorful characters. Moving every three years with the USMC means an endless supply of fresh ideas and interesting locations for her novels.

Currently, Bryndis is living aboard the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms, California with her USMC attorney husband and son. Besides her love of writing and reading romances, Bryndis enjoys cooking, working with stained glass, and scouring the Internet in search of interesting tidbits of information for her writing.
