Biography

Zachary first began writing as a child, creating picture books with simple dialogue for her younger brother.[1] In the late 1980s she began writing her first novel, a medieval historical romance, but did not finish the novel because of the research it necessitated. In 1998, she formed an online publishing company.[2] At a Romance Writers of America conference in 2000, she was inspired by a story told by fellow author Kelsey Roberts about finding a single red shoe under the bed of her hotel room. She wrote a manuscript, Red Shoes And a Diary, which did not sell well through her online company. She rewrote the story and submitted it to Harlequin Temptation, which rejected the story.[2] Zachary entered two of the love scenes from her novel into Harlequin's Summer Blaze writing contest. She won the contest, a chance to have an editor read her full manuscript. The editor purchased the novel,[1] which was published in April 2003.[2]

Zachary says that she writes "romance fiction [because it] is stories about friendship and intimacy, love and respect, commitment, and responsibility."[1]
