New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Shirley Jump spends her days writing romantic comedies for Harlequin NeXt and Romance (“Snowbound Bride” in Christmas Weddings, UK Release, October 2007, Miracle on Christmas Eve, November 2007) as well as Kensington Books (Really Something, December 2007) to feed her shoe addiction and avoid cleaning the toilets. She cleverly finds writing time by feeding her kids junk food, allowing them to dress in the clothes they find on the floor and encouraging the dogs to double as vacuum cleaners.
