Sandra Hill w/a Harper Allen has a distinct edgy voice and is capable of writing storylines that push the envelope for the Intrigue line. She will be participating in the cross-line COLORADO CONFIDENTIAL miniseries that will be published in 2003 and is also writing one of the stories for the Bombshell continuity. Harper lives in the country in the middle of a hundred acres of maple trees with her husband, Wayne, six cats, four dogs-and a very nervous cockatiel at the bottom of the food chain. For excitement she and Wayne drive to the nearest village and buy jumbo bags of pet food. She believes in love at first sight because it happened to her.
