Crystal Jordan began writing romance after she finished graduate school and needed something to fill the hours that used to be eaten away by coursework. She spent far too many years in school and now has degrees in History and Library Science...but swears that both of them help enormously with her writing and research.

Her family sprawls from Texas to Illinois and from California to the United Kingdom. She has three brothers, several rather adorable nieces and nephews, a quirky grandmother who pushed her into writing in the first place, and an indispensable best friend codenamed the Mad Madam M (who is often featured on Crystal's blog).

Never one to stay in one place very long, Crystal has lived and worked all over the United States. Currently, she serves as a librarian at a university in the Silicon Valley of California.

In 2006, Crystal sold the first story she ever finished to the e-publisher, Cobblestone Press. Since then, she's sold paranormal, futuristic, and erotic romance to Samhain Publishing, Harlequin Spice Briefs, The Wild Rose Press, and Ellora's Cave.

Then, the day before the 2007 RWA National Conference, she got The Call to be a part of Kensington Aphrodisia's Sexy Beast anthology. After a whirlwind month, she had an awesome agent, Lucienne Diver, and an additional two-book deal with Kensington.

And she lived happily ever after.
