Dorothy F. Shaw was a fan of journaling about her troubles, she started an online blog in 2009 and poured her emotions out for all to see. As luck would have it, the first post came out as a poem.

A few authors she'd met online encouraged her to write more, and in two years' time, she wrote over 150 poems. The poems led to short stories, which blossomed into novels.

Evident from the beginning was her voice as an author that is real and packed with wit and sarcasm. Her stories will always include complex, broken people trying to figure out how to start and keep a relationship as well as lots of hot, steamy sex. As Dorothy sees it, the journey is the best part.

With her ever-open heart, bright red hair, and many colorful tattoos, she truly lives and loves in Technicolor!
