Loretta Lynda Chekani was born in 1949. She studied at the New England public school and received a bachelor's degree from [[Clark University]]. After college, she began to look for jobs as a scriptwriter for corporate video. This led to the fateful meeting with a video producer, who enticed her to write novels, and eventually she became Mrs. Chase.
After the first reading for fans of sentimental genre remains aptly conveyed a sense of the author of a summer day - the sun of peace and quiet of nature and even corporate humor Chase. Humor not only in dialogue, but rather in the atmosphere, in the style of the narrative, and so forth. Interesting author, nice, easy style, humor is not in last place.
