A Virginia-born, Missouri-grown Southerner, Peggy lived in New York, Kansas, and Nebraska before settling in a Midwest town of 4,500 with an alpha female beagle. Her Kansas-born daughter lives on the east coast with her New Jersey husband, while her Nebraska-born son, who’s a USA Category I cyclist, lives in upstate New York. Traveling was par for her childhood as an Army brat, living in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Missouri and in Germany and France.

When not writing, Peggy enjoys taking photos, hiking at the conservation areas and state parks, breakfast or BBQ at a local diner (it’s in a gas station, really), fried chicken with the BEST pie at a diner down the road a piece, and traveling to visit family. She sees her elliptical regularly, always while reading a book.

Peggy is a retired skydiver. She jokes that she threw her son out of an airplane. Actually, she sat in the co-pilot seat and watched the first tandem jump by her son before surviving the plane landing. After a tight spiral down to the drop zone, the pilot asked if she liked the rapid descent; her answer, “I’d rather dive out head first.”

Peggy Aiden is a pen name taken to protect her family’s privacy. All information you read about Peggy is true for her. Unfortunately, some people, emboldened with their personal opinion, have acted poorly toward romance writers. If you learn Peggy's legal name, please keep that private.
