WHO: Virna DePaul was an English Lit major who practiced law as a criminal prosecutor for over ten years.  In November of 2009, she was offered a contract by Berkley Press for the first two books in a paranormal romantic suspense series.  The series, which features a unique special ops team whose members include a werebeast, a wraith, a mage, and a vampire and the human female he's forbidden to love, launches in May of 2011 with book 1, Chosen By Blood.  

In addition, Virna's first romantic suspense with Silhouette comes out in Fall 2011.  In that story, an undercover cop poses as a bailiff while investigating a judge and is reunited with an old love.  Virna, along with Blaze author Tawny Weber, has released a craft book titled: “Love Writing: A Guide To Writing And Getting Your Romance Published Without Losing Your Perspective, Passion, Or Sanity.”  In this book, Virna identifies the ten writing concepts that, in her opinion, are the most important in a writer’s arsenal.  Find her on the web at www.virnadepaul.com and www.lovewritingbook.com.
