Reta Ross
Biography
Reta's first novel, Artful Deception, is a paranormal romance, Focused Desire, a contemporary romance and Retro Flex, a collection of short stories.
Her interest in the unexplained (featured in Artful Deception) was addressed by membership in ‘Spiriquest’. This esoteric group delved into past-life regression, auras, mandalas, divining, meditating and Reiki, etc.
After completing two eight week lecture series at UWO on the philosophies of Swiss Psychologist, Carl Jung she was inspired to weave aspects of the collective unconscious, synchronicity, dreams, myths and symbolism into Artful Deception.
Extensive travel to Central and South America, the Caribbean, Cuba and the British Isles lends authenticity to scenes she sets in these far off lands.
Her heroes and villains alike are usually predatory Lotharios, more often than not with one track minds. Women find themselves longing for the warmth and thickness of their flesh and the strength in their arms. Associations with Romance Writers of America and attendance at their writer's convention in San Antonio, Texas reinforced her passion for writing about love and relationships.
Reta Ross is master of the romance genre, refusing to write to a formula, her unconventional approach imbues a breath of fresh air into a subject that can become hackneyed in the hands of a lesser scribe.
