Te' Russ

My name is Shanté I write under the name Té and everyone calls me that anyway and quite frankly I'm getting too lazy to say my whole name anyway.

I love writing (duh) and reading steamy romance novels. I've been married to my sexy beast, computer nerd, MMA fighting husband for almost ten years and we have three wonderful heathens...I mean children ;-) and an Olde English bulldog. I love singing in the shower when no one is home, dancing around my room like I'm on Soul Train (also when no one is home), very high heeled shoes, corsets, all Apple products, skydiving, riding motorcycles with my husband, and kayaking with him as well. 

I will never forget when I first started writing and I will never forget when the first romance novel I ever read... I was thirteen years old when I first took some paper, stuck it in a three prong folder and created my first journal.

Two years later, I snuck into my aunt's books and read Scarlett Woman by Gwynne Forester. I've been hooked ever since.

In early 2011, after several years that were filled with marriage and babies, I decided that I really wanted to become a published author. I'd written a few chapters of some things here and there, but hadn't completed them.

I started my writing journey in November 2011 and by June 2012, I'd published my first book, Dream Lover!

These last two years have been amazing! I have enjoyed gaining new readers and meeting fellow authors who are becoming friends.
