Secret of the Sheikh's Betrothed - Paperback

Ivey, Felicitas: - Felicitas is a frazzled help-desk tech at a university in Boston who wishes people wouldn't argue with her when she's troubleshooting what's wrong with their computer. She lives with three cats who wish she would pay more attention to them, and not sit at a computer pounding on the keyboard. They get back at her by hogging most of the bed at night and demanding her attention during the rare times she watches TV or movies. She's protected by her guardian stuffed Minotaur, Angenor, who was given to her by her husband, Mark. Angenor travels everywhere with her, because Felicitas's family doesn't think she should travel by her lonesome. They worry she gets distracted and lost too easily. Felicitas doesn't think of it a getting lost, more like having an adventure with a frustrated GPS. Felicitas knits and hoards yarn, firmly believing the one with the most yarn wins. She also is sitting on hordes of books, which still threaten to take over her house, even with e-books. Between writing and knitting, she brews beer, wine, mead, and flavored liqueurs. Felicitas also bakes, making cakes whenever she needs to work out an issue in her novels. Sometimes this leads to a lot of cakes. Her coworkers appreciate them, though, with the student workers buzzing about on a sugar high most of the time. Felicitas writes urban fantasy, steampunk, and horror of a Lovecraftian nature, with monsters beyond space and time that think that humans are the tastiest things in the multiverse. Occasionally there's a romance or two involved in her writing, with a happily-ever-after.
