Monica Mathis-Stowe is a D.C. native but spent a great deal of her formative years in North Carolina. She's an alumnus of Nyack college, earning a B.S. in Organizational Management and works as an investigator in the metropolitan Washington area. As a teenager, she was introduced to the world of romantic fiction and it was "love at first read." She simply couldn't get enough. Instead of just reading novels, she studied them, determined to create entertaining stories like the published authors whose work she enjoyed. There is nothing more exciting to her than creating a fictional world with flawed characters who consume her thoughts and tell her how they want the story to play out. She likes to take her readers on a roller-coaster ride of emotions that will make them laugh, cry, gasp, think, and question people and their actions. Her debut novel, Where Did We Go Wrong?, hit bookstores in April 2012 and is already a best-seller. The sequel, Where Did We Go Wrong Again? is scheduled to release in December 2012. When she's not pounding the keyboard crafting her next novel, she enjoys traveling and spending time with her loving son and sexy firefighter husband.
