Hi, my name is Beverly Cialone (like baloney except with a "C").  Forty years old, proud parent of two sons, proud grandparent of 2 adorable baby girls.  My day job is with the United States Postal Service, but deep down I consider myself a writer.  I have been writing since junior high school, and it has become more than a hobby--it has become a downright obsession.  A pleasurable obsession, though.  I know I was meant to write, because I can sit at my computer all day and not realize how fast the time is flying by.  I love to create characters--they end up becoming my friends.  And I have since gone from trying my hand at strictly romances to trying my hand at erotica and romantic science fiction.  As for who my major influences have been, I had a few teachers in school who recognized my potential and encouraged it.  I would like to extend a great big thank you to them for seeing and realizing something at the time that I couldn't--Delores Goggins, Coach David Angel, and Mrs. Lisa Smith.  And as of late, I have to give credit where credit is due--and that credit belongs to myself as well.  Because I made a promise to myself to finally stop daydreaming and actually get up off my behind and do something about this crazy dream I have to actually get published--and I figure, libraries are full of books, if all those other people could do it, then so can I!!!
