- Bio:
Growing up in small town Alabama, story-telling became a natural way for me to pass the time and keep my two younger sisters entertained. Of course, that also means I’m inclined to suffer some of the same maladies of many southern writers which may include overuse of simile and metaphor, exaggeration, melodramatic writing style, and the ever-popular long-winded sentence.
I currently live in Western Washington with my husband and daughter and maintain my alter ego of mild-mannered physician by day while I continue to pursue writing on nights and weekends. I refer to it as “therapy”.

- Vivian Cameron - Technically Romantic
About Vivian:
- Vivian Cameron is a lover of romance, good story telling and is an IT veteran of 22 years and counting. Her life began when she saw Han Solo in Star Wars, and wrote her first romance story that evening (sad/true). The trend of writing her own lusty versions of blockbuster films where *she* scored the leading man continued, until derailed by a pesky college career. Since, she has worked in the bio-tech, cellular and aerospace industries. Combing a fascination for hemorrhaging-edge technology, gorgeous military men, and anything that blows up, Vivian strives to put a good dose of passion, ‘geekiness’ and intrigue into each story she writes. For the ardent, technically savvy person, what could be more romantic?Vivian has been known to lecture on Real Time Location Systems and How to Romance the Geek of Your Dreams.
