T.L. Sinclare’s first novel, Silver Dagger, from ImaJinn books, was released in November 2002. Since then, she’s written more than 10 full-length novels and 10 short stories for a new publisher.  Her stories remain romances with a hint of the fantastic (werewolves, dragons and vampires!).
T.L. began writing romances at the age of sixteen (during Trigonometry class).  During her senior year in high school, the class dressed up as what they would be in twenty years—she dressed as a romance writer.  She began to write seriously in 1992 when she joined Romance Writer’s of America (RWA).  Her manuscript A Christmas Elf was a finalist in the national RWA Golden Heart Contest in 1998.  Silver Dagger was a finalist in the RWA Rita Contest for Best First Book.
Ms. Sinclare is currently the Weekend Weather Anchor at KTUU-Channel 2 in Anchorage, AK.  She also works for the station as their remote productions coordinator.
T.L. has lived in Alaska for thirty-five years.  Her family moved to Alaska in 1972 when her father was transferred to Elmendorf AFB with the U.S. Air Force.  She received her Bachelor of Arts in English and Broadcasting from Gonzaga University in 1986 and in 2007 received her Bachelor of Science in Broadcast Meteorology from Mississippi University.

I was born and raised in northern California, married and moved to Oregon with my husband where we spent 13 years.  We came to Alaska on a vacation in 1985 and fell in love.  We went back home to Oregon, sold our home and furnishings and moved to Alaska in the summer of 1986.  This is home. 
    I have been writing poetry since high school and journaling since the '70's.  I began writing a story in 1990 and I am still working on the same story!  My goal is to have it finished one of these days and move on to writing other stories. 
    My favorite author is LaVyrle Spencer. When she retired from writing I basically quit reading romance novels.  I've just recently begun to read them again after a ten year break.  My all time favorite book, though, is East of Eden by John Steinbeck.

Once upon a time, there was a girl who loved to read stories about horses.  When she got to Jr. High School, she loved reading romance stories with horses in them.  In High School she loved to write every bit as much as she loved to read. College began on a track toward a career in writing, but she let a professor discourage her, so her focus changed to education.  Years later, with marriage, two sons, and work to keep her busy, something in her soul yearned for more. So do you know what she did?  She bought a horse. A beautiful Quarterhorse named Zoey.  The next year, she made another decision--to pick up her secret passion, the pen, or in this case a laptop. She was determined more than ever, never to let anyone dampen her writing spirit again.  And she lived happily ever after writing to her heart's content.
