Corinne Vail

Corinne Vail is forty-one and lives in Chicago, where she spent fifteen years in hospital administration before she wrote full time. She has been married for twenty years, and she thinks the most interesting love story is the one that is still going in year twenty: the mortgage, the in-laws, two careers, and a couple who still want to surprise each other. She writes contemporary romance about long, happy marriages that open a door on the wife's terms, with her husband beside her and in on every decision. She writes for women who know their own minds, and she is bored of this kind of story told as a man's fantasy about a woman rather than as the woman's own.
