Judy Griffith Gill is the bestselling author of more than three dozen contemporary romance novels, including twenty-three titles for Bantam's popular Loveswept imprint. Gill often sets her books in the Pacific Northwest. In her spare time, she enjoys swimming, boating, and hiking through the jungles and rainforests of Costa Rica. Gill credits her creative urges to being born with an overactive 'what-if' gene. She splits her time between Costa Rica and the coast of British Columbia in Canada.
