Biography
[edit]After Weaver had children, she chose to quit her job as a claims adjuster to stay home with them. While the children napped, she began writing romance novels to entertain herself. In 1994, she attended her first writer's conference; the following year, she joined the Romance Writers of America. Her first novel sold in 1999, to Kensington Books.[1] The novel, Promises, Promises, was released in April 2000, and Kensington contracted her to write a novella for a July 2001 American Media MiniMag release. The MiniMag romance line was discontinued before the story was published.[2]
At the urging of Cathy McDavid, a fellow writer, Weaver signed to write a short story for the small press Elan Press. Her short story was included in their collection Romancing the Holidays.[2] In 2003, she began writing category romances in the Harlequin Superromance line. In 2007, she was chosen to write two novels in the new series partnering Harlequin and NASCAR.[1]
Weaver was nominated for a Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Award in 2004 for her novel The Second Sister.[3] In a review, Romantic Times gave The Second Sister their highest rating, noting the "realistic characters, strong emotion and an ending that is neither pat nor clichéd."[4]
In 2006, Weaver was a finalist in the Best Long Contemporary Romance category for the Romance Writers of America's RITA Award.[5]
