I would like to thank Karen, Michelle, and Rosette at Literati Author Services for going above and beyond for me in their role as my publicists. I would also like to thank my terrific Street Team, The Jury, for their enthusiastic support and loyalty. It means a great deal to me. Thanks to my friends, Taryn Plendl, Jennifer Stevens, and Joyce Turner-Blanker for being funny and cool authors. Thanks to everyone who took the time to write a nice review for The Law of Attraction. Thanks to all the readers and bloggers who have given me their support over the months and patiently waited while I found the rest of Gabrielle and Braden’s story in my head and in my heart. Finally, last but never least, thanks to my wonderful family who I love. I have the most amazing husband and kids!

Once upon a time … N.M. Silber was a criminal defense attorney who got up each morning, donned her power suit and sensible pumps, downed a gallon of coffee and set out to “fight the good fight” while trying to not go insane. Having a dark sense of humor and a sarcastic wit helped — a lot. Another thing that helped was reading. As escapism was the goal, she liked to read romance novels, especially really funny ones and really sexy ones. Then one day something beautiful happened — she read one that was both funny and sexy at the same time. She hung up her power suit, put away her sensible pumps and moved her coffee mug to her computer. Now she writes funny and sexy romance novels herself and she lives happily ever after.

In her former career N.M. Silber was a criminal defense attorney working in a major city on the East Coast of the United States. She had several non-fiction articles published and edited a legal journal before turning her attention to writing novels. Using her experiences in the criminal court system as a starting place, she developed the engaging cast of characters and the humorous story lines of her romantic comedies.
