Rebecca York Goes for the Far Out

When Rebecca York was little she lived in an apartment building in Washington, D.C., where the elevator broke every few months, trapping tenants for hours. Because she was terrified of getting stuck in there alone, she would access her fifth-floor apartment by running up or down the stairs. The stairwell was dark and spooky, and she imagined vampires and zombies lurking there, following close on her heels as she pounded up the steps. But she preferred that threat to the haunted elevator. Eventually, she made peace with the dark creatures of the night and even got to like them so much that she turned them from monsters to the sexy alpha male heroes of her romantic suspense stories.

She’s written more than seventy-five RS novels, all populated with guys who can only be tamed by the love of a good woman. One of her latest projects is her indie series, Decorah Security, where all the agents have paranormal powers or take on paranormal cases. Frank Decorah, the crusty old Navy SEAL who owns the agency, had his own run-in with the weird and dangerous not long after he lost his leg in a commando raid, which is why he keeps an open mind to otherworldly possibilities. His agents include werewolves Cole Marshall (DARK MOON) and Zack Marshall (HOT AND DANGEROUS), a very sexy ghost named Matt Houseman (CHAINED), and Ben Walker, who can touch the dead and get their last memories (DARK POWERS). Rebecca loves getting inside the heads of these alpha-male heroes, pairing them with strong women, and putting the two of them in danger. Their reward for defeating the bad guys is their own HEA.

A USA Today best-selling novelist, Rebecca is a recipient of RWA's Centennial Award. She has written for many traditional publishers. Her werewolf Moon series was previously published by Berkley, with new stories coming out in the Decorah Security Series. She also writes for Harlequin Intrigue, including her long-running 43 Light Street series, set in Baltimore, and has started a fantasy romance series (the Chronicles of Arandal) for Carina Press as well as a romantic suspense series for Sourcebooks which will be published in Fall of 2013. She is the winner of a PRISM Award, two RT BOOK REVIEWS Career Achievement Awards, 5 New Jersey Romance Writers Golden Leaf Awards, and the 2012 Mentoring Award of Washington Romance Writers. Two of her books were RITA finalists. Learn more about Rebecca York at her Web site, www.rebeccayork.com or drop by her blog, www.onromancewriting.com  Her Twitter handle is @rebeccayork43.
