Ms. Lindsey's books are great if you can only catch up on you reading in short spurts.  She tends to write quick chapter that really move.
Johanna began writing in 1975 on a whim, just to amuse herself. As quoted, "It was like a Cinderella story, having that first book accepted by the first Publisher: it was sent to," which was Avon. She has been with Avon ever since.
