Dean Murray discovered the joys of reading at a young age and unknowingly ingested large doses of romance along with his science fiction and fantasy. By the time he realized what had happened it was too late to reverse the process and he spent his formative years (while his peers were still convinced that girls had cooties) trying to convince one specific girl to be his girlfriend to no avail. As fate would have it, he’s incredibly grateful that he failed in his attempts in second grade because it meant that he was able to eventually find his real happily ever after with his wife Katie to whom he’s been happily married for more than six years. Dean is the author of more than thirty published novels (and a host of short stories), which collectively have more than half a million copies in circulation, and he’s currently writing six books a year in an effort to create the perfect, larger than life romance story-which he’s pretty sure involves either vampire, werewolves, fairies or shape shifters.
