<p>Growing up, Sarah Raplee wanted to be a mother, writer, poet and artist—in that order—but her unfortunate lack of eye-hand coordination eliminated <em>artist</em> from her list. At a tender age she followed her heart to marry her firefighter-cum-Coast Guardsman boyfriend, who is the inspiration for her heroes. Sarah writes an eclectic mix of paranormal and steampunk romance stories that includes curses, shapeshifters and sharp-toothed gnomes. For unknown reasons, dogs have infiltrated nearly every story. Her first novel, BLINDSIGHT, begins the <em>Psychic Agents Series</em>, a paranormal romantic suspense series featuring psychic FBI Agents. Sarah writes because she can't help it, and it's more fun than most of the alternatives. She lives near Portland, Oregon, with her husband, two small dogs and a cat—all rescues—and an ever-changing assortment of children and grandchildren.</p>
