A bookworm from a young age, Starla often raided her mother's shelves for any form of fiction she could get her hands on. Her first love was the horror genre and she was an avid fan of Stephen King as young as twelve.

But she owes her love affair with the romance novel to her high-school English teacher, who hooked her on the classics.

Given her earlier reading, urban fantasy and paranormal romance seemed like a natural progression. Along with steamy romance, these have become her favourite genres to write.

She also loves spending her spare time playing table top and video games, paper crafting, singing, dancing, and watching anime.
