I write under the name T'Lee Freman. I think it's classier than my own! I’m a retired science teacher, but I guess that has nothing to do with romance. Experiencing the interaction between people and observing the sheer beauty of those around us, is romantic though! They are my inspiration. I've also written and published some science fiction (hence my pseudonym's origin). Some of my favorite authors, like Georgette Heyer, Agatha Christie, David Baldacci, Carl Hiaasen, and Isaac Asimov inspire me too. I have a great deal of fun writing stories and always hope others will enjoy reading them. I live in Invercargill on the southern coast of New Zealand's South Island with my wife of over 50 years. We have three sons, five grandchildren and two great grandsons. All living in the South Island so we get to see them often.
