She gravitated towards novels because her entertainment options were severely limited. After developing an interest in romance and Gothic thrillers, Bond did not set her sights on a career in publishing.

Instead, she decided to become a librarian because the field would enable her to indulge her love for reading. She wanted to spend her days surrounded by books. Bond couldn’t think of a better career.

However, as she matured, her priorities shifted. The author went to college and discovered computer programming. She operated a retail store for a while during her college years.

But life after graduation pulled Bond into the world of business and computers. She secured a job as a systems engineer in a Lexington, Kentucky, Fortune 50 firm.

Bond won’t lie. She enjoyed her work. She doesn’t regret the years she spent in the corporate arena. In fact, her foray into publishing was completely unexpected.

She was back in school, pursuing her MBA, when a teacher noticed her talent for writing. The instructor did not necessarily encourage the author to write fiction. He wanted Bond to publish her thesis.

But the author was too busy processing the realization she had just made. The thought came out of nowhere. She couldn’t stop thinking about the possibility of writing a romance novel and whether she had the skill to execute such a challenging undertaking.

Once she finished her classes, Bond started dedicating her evenings to writing. She began by experimenting with simple ideas, stories she had written for her own enjoyment.

When her company sent her to Atlanta, Georgia, she decided to hone her craft by reading how-to books and joining a writing organization.

Bond knew she was serious about her publishing dreams because she was using every opportunity she got to put her ideas on paper. Unfortunately, the publishing arena was not receptive to her.

They rejected every manuscript she submitted for the next two years. As such, she was pretty relieved when Harlequin Enterprises bought ‘Irresistible?’ She used that momentum to write and submit more novels, selling so many manuscripts in the process that she finally decided to become a full-time writer.

Bond spent the next few years writing mystery and romance novels for traditional publishers before finally breaking away in 2011 to become a self-published writer.

Bond is still running her self-publishing venture. She has also continued to write new stories.

Bond is a highly successful author that has sold millions of copies of her work. Bond’s best books include:

Body Movers: Carlotta hates her life, and for a good reason. Her childhood was fine until her parents committed a white-collar crime, skipped bail, and disappeared. Carlotta was left to raise her brother. Unable to attend college, the young woman had to settle for a job in retail.

Any hope she had for a future with her fiancé faded when he dumped her. That was a decade ago. Carlotta has been single since then. If that wasn’t bad enough, she’s working at Neiman Marcus.

Her parents are still gone. Carlotta didn’t think she could take any more hits. But somehow, things were about to get worse. First, an attractive police officer arrested her brother. And then, her former fiancé’s wife died, and she became the prime suspect.

Now, Carlotta’s only hope is to find the murderer before her miserable life goes up in flames.

3 Men and A Body: Carlotta wanted a break. Her life was a rollercoaster of misery. Her parents were fugitives from the law. They had abandoned the woman when she was young, forcing Carlotta to raise her brother.

She had done the best she could, but Wesley was not necessarily an upstanding citizen. Carlotta couldn’t wait to get away. She had been suspended from Neiman Marcus, which meant she could join Cooper on a trip to Florida.

The pair had been tasked with a VIP body pickup. The job was simple enough, or so they thought. Things started going wrong when three different men tried to lay claim to the body.
