Siena is originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where a love of sports is bred into a girl's DNA. Her love of romance novels came early as well. She would often accompany her romance reviewer mom to book lover's and romance writer's conventions, where she sat in on workshops and met numerous best selling authors. It wasn't long before she was filling notebooks with her own stories, which often starred herself and a certain real life prince. 

As luck would have it, she met and married a handsome athlete instead. After several temporary residencies in multiple states and Germany, they finally settled in Michigan, the land where youth hockey reigns supreme. 

Her stories no longer feature herself, but draw from her past experiences as an educator, business woman, fashion consultant and world traveler when creating her strong heroines. “Oh yes,” she says with a wink and a smile, “There are bits of me in all of them.” Now she spends her days writing happily ever afters for fictional characters and her evenings at the local hockey arenas cheering for her three children.
