We both enjoy traveling to visit our far-flung family and friends, and spending time on the beach with an umbrella drink and a good book.

RA Pollard
Sometimes it’s hard to believe I never used to read. Gasp! Shock! Horror! Yes, I’m afraid it’s true. In school I avoided the dreaded paperback as if it were the monster under the bed, waiting to grab my ankles. Dyslexia can have that effect on most kids. Since no one diagnosed me until I was in university, I ended up in the “special” class. I know some of you now are thinking, “Uh huh”. You know exactly where I’m coming from.
This meant as a child reading was the devil and I avoided books like the plague. However I actually enjoyed writing. It wasn't until I was 14, and a book called Home Before Dark, by Beverly Hastings really opened my eyes to what I had been missing. From then on you couldn't stop me reading.
Stephen King, Anne Rice and Dean Koontz. Pattern developing here? Horror books were my favorites for a long time. Then paranormal romance, Lynsay Sands, Christine Freehan, Laurell K. Hamilton, and J.R Ward. You name it. I more than likely own it and have read it fifty times.
That is where I acquired my passion for paranormal romance. That’s when I really started to get into my writing. While watching a show called Full Metal Alchemist – Brotherhood (It’s an Anime, and yes, I’m a nerd!), I saw a character called Greed. He stuck with me so strongly that I had to write his story. I HAD to write about the Seven Deadly Sins. From that one character—Greed—reinvented came Greed’s Charity, Book #1 of the Seven Deadly Sins series.

Meriam Wilhelm
The one thing I learned after all of my years as an elementary school principal is that there is magic everywhere and in everyone. While I missed discovering those mystical moments of discovery with my students, I soon realized that I wanted to let my imagination run wild, find my own magic and write about it. When I retired, I authored several parenting books before I wrote my first fictional series, The Witches of New Moon Beach.
Inspiration wasn't hard to find. I have lived in Redondo Beach, California all of my life and New Moon Beach might bear more than a passing resemblance to my hometown. Every day I walk on the path that runs along the beach, sometimes with my sisters, but more often alone with my thoughts as I plot out my next book. I am long happily married and mom to three great grown kids. When I'm not writing or walking on the beach, you'll find me sewing, reading or traveling. My last trip was to Alaska where I came face to face with both an eagle and a brown bear. Now that was a trip!
I hope that you enjoy reading The Witches Of New Moon Beach as much as I did creating them. Happy reading!
Roe Horvat
Queer author, storyteller & graphic designer. Roe was born in former Czechoslovakia and endured a miserable adolescence in the post-communist wasteland. Equipped with a dark sense of sarcasm, they left for Germany and later, Spain.
Finally, they settled in Sweden, where the weather is nasty but the freedom is great. Roe works as a motion graphics artist, loves Jane Austen, Douglas Adams and everything in between, preferably by the fireplace with a strawberry daiquiri in hand. Roe writes contemporary romantic fiction – it conveniently balances out their real-life pragmatism.
When not hiding in the studio doing graphics, Roe can be found trolling cafés in Gothenburg, writing, and people-watching.
Books: The Layover, MM novella, Dreamspinner Press, available for preorder on June 19th, 2017 link: https://www.dreamspinnerpress.com/books/the-layover-by-roe-horvat-8690-b Dirty Mind, MM novella, Beaten Track Publishing, preliminary release date Sept 1st, 2017.
LA Kirk
LA Kirk is a writer and editor. When not hard at work in front of her computer, her time is spent with her husband and two children, watching them play soccer, or chasing after the family puppy. LA loves working with other authors to help build their stories and brands.
Jenn Windrow
Jenn Windrow loves characters who have a pinch of spunk, a dash of attitude, and a large dollop of sex appeal. Top it all off with a huge heaping helping of snark, and you’ve got the ingredients for the kind of fast paced stories she loves to read and write. Home is a suburb of it’s-so-hot-my-shoes-have-melted-to-the-pavement Phoenix. Where she lives with her husband, two daughters, and a slew of animals that seem to keep following her home, at least that’s what she claims.
SA Collins
SA "Baz" Collins hails from the San Francisco Bay Area where he lives with his husband, their daughter and wonder of all wonders, a whirlwind of a granddaughter. A classically trained singer/actor (under a different name), Mr. Collins knows a good yarn when he sees it.
Mr. Collins specializes in character study work. It is more important for him as an author that the reader comes away with a greater understanding of the characters, and the reasons they make the decisions they do, rather than the situations they are in. It is this deep dive into their manners, their experiences and how they process the world around them that make up the body of Mr. Collins' work.
This is Mr. Collins foray into writing but, as with all his creative endeavors, he leaps right in and figures it out as he goes along. It's been a winning combination thus far so why break a working formula?
Baz also runs the popular WrotePodcast with Vance Bastian and roving reviewer Jayne Lockwood. Released weekly on Friday, it is available iTunes, GooglePlay, Stitcher, Soundcloud and other points of distribution across the net.

Caris Roane
Hi, Everyone! I’m a New York Times bestselling author of thirty-eight paranormal romances to-date. Early in my career, I wrote Regency romance for Kensington Publishing as Valerie King and published fifty books in that genre. A few years later, I fell in love with the paranormal romance works of Sherrilyn Kenyon, Lara Adrian, J.R Ward, Kresley Cole, Laurel K. Hamilton and many others. I was thrilled when St Martin’s Press published my first PNR romances. Later, when digital changed the industry forever, I chose to self-publish and have enjoyed every moment of it. I live in Phoenix, Arizona and love to garden. I enjoy the birds and lizards in my yard, but I encourage the scorpions to inhabit elsewhere! My motto? Live the Fang!
Scott Roche
Some creatures feed on blood and revel in the screams of their prey. Scott Roche craves only caffeine and the clacking of keys. He pays his bills doing the grunt work no one else wants to take, bringing dead electronics back to life and working arcane wonders with software. His true passion is hammering out words that become anything from tales that terrify to futuristic worlds of wonder. All that and turning three children into a private mercenary army make for a life filled with adventure.
Nicola Cameron
Nicola Cameron is a married woman of a certain age who really likes writing about science fiction, fantasy, and sex. When not writing about those things, she likes to make Stuff™. And she may be rather fond of absinthe. While possessing a healthy interest in sex since puberty, it wasn’t until 2012 that she decided to write about it. The skills picked up during her SF writing career transferred quite nicely to speculative romance. Her To Be Written work queue currently stands at around nineteen books, and her mojito-sodden Muse swans in from Bali every so often to add to the list, cackling to herself all the while.
Nicola plans to continue writing until she drops dead over her keyboard or makes enough money to buy a private island and hire Rory McCann as her personal trainer/masseur, whichever comes first.
Joseph Lance Tonlet
Joseph is a born and raised Southern Californian—with a twenty-year stint of living in the Midwest. He loves the laid-back lifestyle of San Diego and considers himself lucky to live where people dream of vacationing.

Harper L. Jameson

Harper currently resides in North Carolina, where her time is divided between wrangling her children and refereeing her voices. Her world is a little dark, a lot sexy and always expanding.

Alexa Dare
“Why do I write romance? Because I believe in romance, passion, and happily ever after. Why do I write time travel romance? Because I believe that even time cannot thwart true love. Why do I write paranormal romance? Because I believe that a deep emotional connection borders on the supernatural. Why do I write dark and edgy romance? Because I believe that, although there may be a dark side of humanity and even the paranormal, love will prevail.” - Author Alexa Dare
Author Alexa Dare, with the oversight of the Jellicle Three (Jasmine, Lightning, and Stormy of feline persuasion), pens time travel and paranormal romance the way she likes to read them: sensual, adventurous, memorable.
Along with spending time with her happily-ever-after alpha outdoorsman, Alexa cozies up at home—when not devoting her time to writing and bringing sexy romances to readers—with movies, popcorn, iced tea, and triple chocolate cupcakes, not necessarily in that order.
Time-swept sensuality - Oh my! Steamy paranormal - Oh yes, yes, yes! Desire-filled scenes - Yeah, baby!

Kimberly Forrest
I'm a stay at home mom currently living in Virginia though I was born and raised in Vermont.
I love a good romance whether it's paranormal, historical or contemporary, sci-fi or comedy... Give it to me!! I've always had stories rolling around in my head just clamoring to get out so it wasn't surprising that I wanted to be a writer. Unfortunately, when I submitted my first work with intent to publish, I received rejection after rejection... it was discouraging. Quite frankly, I had given up on my dream. Luckily, I have the love and support of my family who encouraged me to get back to writing and make it happen.

Maria Mercurio
Maria Mercurio was born, raised, and currently resides in southern California. She is a mother of precocious, often rambunctious, and definitely quarrelsome boys. A huge part of her working week is spent in the air, literally not figuratively. Writing is what grounds her - this part is figurative. She obtained her Bachelor's degree from the University of Southern California, and while increasing intellectual capacity with more higher education would be a wonderful aspiration, she wonders where one would find the time.

Dianne Hartsock
Dianne grew up in one of the older homes in the middle of Los Angeles, a place of hardwood floors and secret closets and back staircases. A house where ghosts lurk in the basement and the faces in the paintings watch you walk up the front stairs. Rooms where you keep the closet doors closed tight at night. It’s where her love of the mysterious and wonderful came from. Dianne is the author of paranormal/suspense, fantasy adventure, m/m romance, and anything else that comes to mind.
She now lives in the beautiful Willamette Valley of Oregon with her incredibly patient husband, who puts up with the endless hours she spends hunched over the keyboard letting her characters play. Dianne says Oregon’s raindrops are the perfect setting in which to write. There’s something about being cooped up in the house with a fire crackling on the hearth and a cup of hot coffee in her hands, which kindles her imagination.
Currently, Dianne works as a floral designer in a locally-owned gift shop. Which is the perfect job for her. When not writing, she can express herself through the rich colors and textures of flowers and foliage.

Victoria Zak
Growing up in the sister city to Stirling, Scotland, Scottish flare was abundant throughout Dunedin. From her High School band to the annual Highland Games that took place right across the street from her childhood home, the bagpipes beckoned her toward her calling. It seemed only natural for Victoria Zak to want to write in the Scottish historical romance genre. Add to the fact, she was also a paranormal romance junkie, there was no doubt that her influences would be the driving force behind her stories.
Although, she never sought out a writing career, her desire for the written word grew the more she read. Her love for Scotland, curiosity of history, and passion for romance has inspired her to write her first book, Highland Burn. The Guardians of Scotland series continues this winter with book two, Highland Storm.
Today, Victoria Zak lives in the sunshine state with her husband, two beautiful children, and three furry friends. Living in paradise, being a stay at home, and to be able to share her stories has been a blessing.
Victoria loves to hear from her readers. You can connect with her through FB, Twitter, G+, and her website.

Cynthia Woolf
Cynthia Woolf was born in Denver, Colorado and raised in the mountains west of Golden. She spent her early years running wild around the mountain side with her friends.
Their closest neighbor was one quarter of a mile away, so her little brother was her playmate and her best friend. That fierce friendship lasted until his death in 2006.
Cynthia was and is an avid reader. Her mother was a librarian and brought new books home each week. This is where young Cynthia first got the storytelling bug. She wrote her first story at the age of ten. A romance about a little boy she liked at the time.
She worked her way through college and went to work full time straight after graduation and there was little time to write. Then in 1990 she and two friends started a round robin, writing a story about pirates. She found that she missed the writing and kept on with other stories. In 1992 she joined Colorado Romance Writers and Romance Writers of America. Unfortunately, the loss of her job demanded she not renew her memberships and her writing stagnated for many years.
In 2001, she saw an ad in the paper for a writers conference being put on by CRW and decided she'd attend. One of her favorite authors, Catherine Coulter, was the keynote speaker. Cynthia was lucky enough to have a seat at Ms. Coulter's table at the luncheon and after talking with her, decided she needed to get back to her writing. She rejoined both CRW and RWA that day and hasn't looked back.
Cynthia credits her wonderfully supportive husband Jim and the great friends she's made at CRW for saving her sanity and allowing her to explore her creativity.

T. A. Webb
T.A. Webb is the writing name for the Big Old Bear That Could (credit to Thomas the Train). During the day, I'm the Director of Finance for a non-profit agency in Atlanta providing housing assistance to people living with HIV/AIDS. At night, I'm the proud daddy to four rescue dogs, live in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, and in my spare time am a pretty darn good country cook.
I stumbled on male erotic fiction and romance about two years ago when a search for "gay cowboys" on my Kindle brought up a plethora of fun titles. I bought one and the rest, as they say, is history.
In November 2011, I started "A Bear on Books", a blog dedicated to reviews of books from the M/M genre that touched me in some way. My goal is to highlight the wonderful writers and stories in the genre in a positive and supportive manner.
After making friends with some of the crazy fun people in the genre, I was gently encouraged (ha!) to try my hand at writing. They pushed me to submit the result, and my novel "Second Chances" will be published in November 2012 by Dreamspinner Press.

Rick H. Veal
Rick H. Veal was born sometime during the last half of the twentieth century in the upstate of South Carolina and has spent the majority of his life there. He joined the Navy immediately out of high school, becoming an aircraft mechanic. During a six year span he sailed four times around the world and had the pleasure of visiting eighteen different countries. He says of that time that he did about two thirds of everything there was to do and was accused of taking part in the other one third.
After returning home he attended The University of South Carolina, graduating with a double Associate's Degree with Honors. He completed his education at Presbyterian College in Clinton, South Carolina where he earned a Bachelor's Degree in History and Education. Since that time he has worked in the education field as a teacher and in various management positions in industry. He currently lives alone and shares his home with his 'daughter', a six year old Tuxedo cat who graciously allows him to think he actually owns the house. Her name is 'Daddy's Pretty Girl' but she will actually answer to anything except 'Late for Dinner'.
He has been a reader for most of his life and enjoyed much of what he's read. He has always enjoyed reading about and watching movies on the subject of vampires. He was completely hooked by Barnabas Collins in 'Dark Shadows' way back in 1966. After reading all the vampire books he could ... Rice, Smith, Harris, Craine, Meyer ... he decided that if they could write a vampire story, then so could he and he set out to do just that.
It has been said that that if you want to write, you should "write the book you want to read, and then others will want to read it too". That is exactly what he hopes he has accomplished in his own writings.

Stefanie Twist
My name is Stefanie Twist and I'm writing a paranormal romance trilogy, The Depth of Blood. Growing up, I spent my life in the horse barn and followed the ringing of a cast iron bell when it was time to head for home. My favorite author is Pam Barndos and D.M. Marlowe. That being said, I read a lot of different types of literature, but mostly romance.
The Depth of Blood is a story about human genetic experimentation that followed the human race to a new exoplanet, since Earth is uninhabitable due to war. Centuries later, the genetics still follow them, but so did their new abilities, including telepathy between humans and animals as well as the ability to manipulate the natural world around them through electrical synapsis amplified by the genetic editing. Unfortunately, those that aren't carriers, human purists, become frightened by their abilities and slowly develop plans to exterminate them through increasing government sanctioned propaganda. This is where my heroine's story starts and her mission to save those like her, as well as her family, from those who want her dead.

T. Lynne Tolles
All my life I've been fascinated with vampires, werewolves, witches and monsters. Maybe it was all those late night Creature Features, or maybe I'm just a bit different. Either way, I just can't put a good vampire or witch book down. Magic, goth, wizards, and fairies - they're all good.
I never intended on being an author. It had never my life's dream to write, but after reading a stack of books in June and July of 2009, I got an idea, "Hmmm. I wonder if I could write a book about vampires. There'd have to be, werewolves, though and maybe some witches just to make it interesting."
And just to talk myself into it, I thought it might be a good way for my teenage daughter to see that if you set your mind to something, even a goofy old mom can accomplish something. Three weeks later Blood of a Werewolf was complete.That's when I got the bug. I couldn't stop, can you say "addiction?" Immediately I jumped into Blood Moon, finishing it in late August 2009, and have since written three more books for the series, and a stand alone novel.

Robert S. Sadler
Robert Sadler lives just outside of Tampa, Florida with his wife and son. While writing has always been Robert's passion, he has spent the last fifteen years working in the medical industry before retiring due to health issues. During his time in the medical industry Robert was given the opportunity to deal with almost every possible scenario imaginable: from gunshot wounds and stabbings, to every forms of trauma and surgery; from Child birth, and the management of life support, to the removal of that support and dealing with the emotions of both the patients and the families.

Robert's writing style mirrors his personality in the fact that everything is meant to be both sarcastic and humorous while touching on the darker side of the imagination. He truly hopes that his knowledge and personality shine through on paper while delivering a truly unique and enjoyable experience for his readers.

Kate Aaron
Born in Liverpool, Kate Aaron is a bestselling author of the #1 LGBT romances What He Wants, Ace, The Slave, and other works.
Kate swapped the North West for the Midwest in October 2015 and married award-winning author AJ Rose. Together they plan to take over the world.
AJ Rose
It began with a Halloween themed short story assignment from a second grade teacher, and from then on, AJ Rose fell head over heels in love with writing. Time has seen the beginning and end of many things, college and graduation, a finance career, and a marriage, and through it all, writing has been her first love. Now, AJ is also head over heels for her wife, fellow author Kate Aaron, who gets it, the twitchy fingers when word counts are low too many consecutive days, the thousand-yard stare when an idea turns AJ's vision inward, and the jitters when the word-babies go out to meet the world. Nothing could stop the tall tales about imaginary people that refused to be ignored. With a life full of this much passion, it's no wonder AJ chose romance. The voices in her head are mostly of the male persuasion, so m/m romance was about the only option. But don't be surprised if the occasional ghost still pops up.
AJ's Rainbow Award winning work can be found on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iTunes, Page Foundry, and Sea to Sky Books. AJ tweets as @_AJRose and blogs at http://ajrosewrites.wordpress.com, where there is more information about future titles. Email her at @ajrosefiction@gmail.com

Lori Pescatore
I am a preschool teacher by day, a mom for dinners and then late night writer. I began writing back in elementary school, doing fan fiction long before the Internet. I enjoyed writing stories about my friends and their favorite celebrities falling in love, blah, blah, blah. I always wrote poetry for special occasions for family members. Writing was always fun for me.
I took a pause when I got married and raised two amazing boys into men. Now my youngest is twenty and both boys are well established and do not need mom as much. I love my workaholic husband but his schedule leaves me some—okay a lot of—down time. I went back to writing fan fiction from some of my favorite TV shows. I got such rave reviews for my non-cannon characters that I decided it was now time to do a story completely all my own.
Born from that was Human Blend. I've made a part time job out of promoting and marketing this book and have self-published it both in print and e-book format. I even entered a self-publishing contest and was one of three winners awarded a spot in a nationwide TV commercial in November of 2010 for my book. My first book signing was an exciting success. I told my husband maybe someday I can make him a "house husband". Yeah I know, I'm dreaming, but that's how things always start... with a dream.

Kate Pavelle
She learned to use a gas mask in first grade. She fired her first AK47 in her sixth grade civil defense class. Her first dog was a wolf hybrid stolen from the Czechoslovak border guard, and her eccentric father blew out the windows of their house with a stun grenade. On purpose. Unlike his chemical explosions, which were always by accident.
Kate Pavelle's high-stakes, high-adrenaline childhood leaves her searching for the next exciting thing. Martial arts and travel and rock climbing. Horses and cookies and toxic mushrooms. Medieval combat and children and brain-tanning deer hide in the driveway.
Her quest resonates through her mystery thrillers and romances, matched only by her drive to share the fun with her readers. Kate once knew the hunger of being a political refugee and the terror of being pursued by government agents. Now that she knows lasting love and contentment, she imbues her characters with her own struggle for survival, excellence, and world domination. Only the dead bodies are imaginary.
Linda Palmer (Linda Varner)
Linda Palmer has always had a vivid imagination and loved creating elaborate scenarios when playing with her sisters and friends as a child. She began writing for pleasure in the third grade, mostly poetry, and has letters from her grade school teachers predicting she'd be an author. Her poems eventually became short stories; her short stories became books. And even though a writing career was never actually a dream, it was something she pursued with intent after joining a writer's group. Silhouette Books published Linda's first novel in 1989 and the next twenty over a ten-year period (writing as Linda Varner). In 1999 she took a break to take care of her family, but learned that she couldn't not write and began again, changing her genre to young adult/new adult paranormal romance. She has now written over forty full-length novels as well as numerous novellas and short stories. There are always more in the works.
Linda was a Romance Writers of America finalist twice and won the 2011 and 2012 EPIC eBook awards in the Young Adult category. She was a finalist in that category in 2013, and is a finalist in the 2014 contest. She married her junior high school sweetheart many years ago and lives in Arkansas, USA with her family.

Jessica Naab
I have lived in Colorado for most of my life, but am originally from Kansas. I've wanted nothing more than to be a writer from the time I first learned how to read. My first story was a fantasy novel I wrote when I was around 8 or 9 years old. Don't worry, it will never see the light of day. Today, I write Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance with an occasional sidestep into the realm of short stories now and again. I've been a judge for the Romance Writers of America's Aspen Gold contest for the past 4 years and also was a judge for the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writer's contest as well.
Currently, I have decided to go back to school full-time to obtain a degree in nursing after a fulfilling, albeit short tenure for a local hospice. Outside of writing and school, I enjoy hiking, yoga, video games, and any manner of music and art I can get my hands on!

Marianne Morea
I love to read almost as much as I love to write. My favorite stories are the ones that transport me... that bring me to places and people that leave me breathless, sparking the fire of my imagination, allowing me to dream in the world of 'what if?'
I've always been a scribbler. From the time I could write, I've been making up stories. So, a few years ago I decided that I needed to do what I love the most. Write. I'm proud to say that while most editors respond to submissions with a blanket form letter, enough responded to my work personally, giving me hope I truly did have talent. I guess they were right, because my debut novella, Hunter's Blood, has been received with wonderful reviews. In the meantime I'm still writing... and when I'm not 'bichok' (butt in a chair hands on keyboard), I'm spending time with my husband and our three kids, traveling to exciting, romantic places (for inspiration, of course) or training for my 2nd degree black belt in traditional Japanese karate.
Who says dreams can't come true?

P.T. Macias
I've been reading in the romance and suspense genres since I was a young girl. I dreamed of writing paranormal tales that are packed with fiery romance, incredible sexy wild men, exciting realms, and a dash of suspense.
My greatest thrills in writing the paranormal genre are the limitless range of characteristics, powers, and weaknesses available to develop the characters' and realms. I love sexy angels, gods, vampires, werewolves, dragons, and other entities.
Born and raised in San Jose, California. I now live in Sacramento, California with my gorgeous, loving husband and children. My four beautiful grandchildren are my stars. When I'm not writing I love going on cruises, to concerts, munching on white peaches, pistachio ice cream, and sipping margaritas.

In an ideal world, Susan Mac Nicol would be Queen of England and banish all the bad people to the Never Never Lands of Wherever-Who Cares. As that's never going to happen, she contents herself with writing her HEA stories and pretending, that just for a little while, good things happen to good people.

Susanne Leist
I have always loved to read. I grew up with Agatha Christie, Alistair Maclean and so many others who filled my imagination with intrigue and mystery. The TV show, Murder She Wrote, kept me entertained when I wasn't reading late into the night.
Over the years, my taste in books changed to include the supernatural and paranormal genres and later reflected in my selection of shows, such as Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries, and The Originals.
My first book, The Dead Game, is a paranormal suspense/mystery. I've brought together all of my favorites and created an enticing package of mystery, paranormal, and horror. It brings fantasy and the surreal to the simple murder mystery. It has dead bodies and suspects. However, it also has humans, vampires and vampire derivatives. A touch of romance is thrown in to spice up the mix.
Geoff Laughton
Geoff Laughton grew up very near the locations he writes about. Raised in western Michigan, he attended high school outside Muskegon and Ludington. After college Geoff moved a lot, traveled a lot, and ended up living at one time on both coasts. He currently works for a major corporation and writes in his spare time. Together with his partner of almost twenty years, Geoff still travels, collects antiques, reads all kinds of old crap, and loves to get his hands dirty in the garden. He currently lives in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Geoff loves to hear from readers!

Amy Lane has two kids in college, two gradeschoolers in soccer, two cats, and two Chi-who-whats at large. She lives in a crumbling crapmansion with most of the children and a bemused spouse. She also has too damned much yarn, a penchant for action adventure movies, and a need to know that somewhere in all the pain is a story of Wuv, Twu Wuv, which she continues to believe in to this day! She writes fantasy, urban fantasy, and m/m romance—and if you accidentally make eye contact, she'll bore you to tears with why those three genres go together. She'll also tell you that sacrifices, large and small, are worth the urge to write.

Renae Kaye
Renae Kaye is a lover and hoarder of books who thinks libraries are devilish places because they make you give the books back. She consumed her first adult romance book at the tender age of thirteen and hasn't stopped since. After years - and thousands of stories! - of not having book characters do what she wants, she decided she would write her own novel and found the characters still didn't do what she wanted. It hasn't stopped her though. She believes that maybe one day the world will create a perfect couple - and it will be the most boring story ever. So until then she is stuck with quirky, snarky and imperfect characters who just want their story told.
Renae lives in Perth, Western Australia and writes in five minute snatches between the demands of two kids, a forbearing husband, too many pets, too much housework and her beloved veggie garden. She is a survivor of being the youngest in a large family and believes that laughter (and a good book) can cure anything.

Linell Jeppsen
"I always loved Stephen King's m.o... What if?"
Linell Jeppsen is a fifty something, semi-retired grocery store clerk, and high school custodian. She has been writing for many years but was recently picked up by Phyllis Scott Publishing for her novel, The Hunt. Before that she won third place in a science fiction contest for her short story, The Gag Gift, which can be found in the novel, Mixed Blessings and Other Short Stories, from America's Great Emerging Authors. Her work was also published in The Last Astronaut and Other Short Stories, by Phyllis Scott.
Linell says...
I strive to keep my stories fresh. It's true, I suppose, that there is nothing new under the sun, but that doesn't mean old tales can't be told in an original voice. That's where I excel. I think that my work would fall under the heading of classic literary fiction, rather than steam punk, or urban fantasy. So, if you enjoy a good, old-fashioned nail-biter try The Hunt! You won't get a lot of sexual tension, or see vampires sparkle, but you will find a story that lives on in your mind long after you finish the final pages.

Lyn Horner
I'm a babyboomer born in California, raised in Minnesota and now residing in Texas with my husband and an ever-changing band of cantankerous, beloved cats. A former fashion illustrator and art instructor, I quit work to raise my children, but soon realized I needed a creative outlet. I've always enjoyed writing and am a longtime fan of historical romances, so it really wasn't a big detour when I decided to try writing one. This hobby quickly morphed into an obsession with historical research and plot building. While I still write historicals, some set in the Old West, others in Ireland, my stories are now interwoven with strong paranormal threads. My current release, Darlin' Druid, is available in electronic format on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. This epic western romance features a heroine with the gift of second sight, inherited from her Irish Druid ancestors. I know such a power truly exists, having experienced prophetic dreams myself in years past.
Darlin' Druid is the first volume in my planned trilogy, Texas Druids. I am currently at work on volume two in this series, the hero of which appears in the first book as the heroine's brother. An empath who feels others' emotions, he will be forced to use his painful ability to save those he loves.
My memoir, Six Cats In My Kitchen, touches upon issues such as the loss of loved ones, traveling cross-country with kids and pets, and living with a disabling genetic disorder.

Jamie Fessenden
Jamie Fessenden set out to be a writer in junior high school.

Anise Eden
Before becoming an award-winning author, ANISE EDEN wanted to be a wildlife photographer. Unfortunately, a strong aversion to large insects, poisonous snakes, and sharks—along with a cat allergy that might well extend to tigers—limited that career option.

Olivette Devaux
Olivette Devaux is firmly convinced that love is like a flame, and sharing it is just lighting other candles, one after another. That's how she falls in love with all her characters, one by one, one book after another. And there's nothing like an extra bit of magic to help things along!

Tony-Paul de Vissage
Tony-Paul de Vissage is a Southerner of French Huguenot extraction, whose first movie memory is of being six years old, viewing the old Universal horror flick, Dracula's Daughter, on television, and being scared sleepless—and that may explain a lifelong interest in vampires.
This was further inspired when the author ran across a band of transplanted Transylvanian vampires sightseeing in the South. Thinking nosferatu were getting bad press and in need of some favorable publicity, he decided to do what he could to change that attitude through his writing.
Though it may be argued his efforts have probably done the opposite, no vamp has complained—yet.
A voracious reader who has lived on both US coasts and whose personal library has been shipped more than 3,000 miles, Tony-Paul has read hundreds of vampire tales and viewed as many movies.

Victoria Dannan
For the past thirteen years, I have illustrated and authored Seasons of the Witch calendars and planners, and written the course curriculum for Seasons in Avalon, School of Witch Arts.
Though works of fiction are a departure for me, I have had this series simmering on the back burner of my mind for a few years, but time is at a premium. In addition to authoring and illustrating Seasons of the Witch and writing course work for Seasons in Avalon, I play rock music and manage Houston's premier variety band.
This series will include details of my education in the paranormal (formal and experiential) and anecdotes from the years when I was a practicing metaphysician, but much of the material is fantasy.
As the series develops I will begin interweaving more and more references to esoterica, real and imagined and hope you will come along for the ride.

Cara Crescent
Cara first dreamed of being an author in elementary school when the Mesa Tribune published her essay How to Save the Planet. She wrote her first novel in 2010 and has since written seven novels, four of which have won awards.
As a mother of four children and a world traveler she has no shortage of material to draw from. The traveling provides great fodder for world-building and the children… well, let’s just say they’ve been the inspiration for many paranormal and alien characters.
She currently lives in the Pacific Northwest with her children and three overly dramatic ferrets. When not writing, you can usually find her curled up with a book, engrossed in a movie or playing video games with her best friend.
She is a member of Romance Writers of America, Paranormal Romance Guild, Greater Seattle Romance Writers, From the Heart Romance Writers and Outreach International Romance Writers.

Jessica Cage
Born and raised in Chicago, IL, writing has always been a passion for Jessica Cage. She dabbles in artistic creations of all sorts but at the end of the day, it's the pen that her hand itches to hold.
Jessica had never considered following her dream to be a writer because she was told far too often, "There is no money in writing." So she chose the path most often traveled. Working at her day job in a law office, she looked at her two year old son and asked herself, how would she be able to inspire him to follow his dreams, reach for the stars, if she never had the guts to do it herself?
Jessica decided to take a risk and unleash the plethora of characters and their crazy adventurous worlds that had previously existed only in her mind, into the realm of readers. She did this with hopes to inspire not only her son but herself. Inviting the world to tag along on her journey to become the writer she has always wanted to be.
Recently Jessica discovered a new passion in encouraging youth to follow their dreams and explore creative passions. It is no secret that programs are dwindling that help to support the development of artistic passion. It is her hope to be able to create an avenue to help fill this void. It is the realization that Jessica's journey is not all about herself, but about others as well, that helps to not only fuel her writing but to keep her moving forward.

Sharon Buchbinder
Sharon Buchbinder got into a lot of trouble for when she was a child for "making things up." Now, she gets rewarded for making things up. Sharon loves to create heroes and heroines people can relate to—even crazy cat ladies, as she did with Catastrophe, her first publication with The Wild Rose Press (WRP). She's been submitting fiction since she was in middle school and has the rejection slips to prove it. In high school, she even submitted a script to The Man from U.N.C.L.E. written in pencil on yellow-lined paper. Sadly, it was rejected. After working in health care delivery for years, she became a researcher, then a professor and department chair. But that itch to write the stories that raced around in her mind kept beckoning her to "come on back" to writing fiction. Since romance has over a dozen sub-genres, she was able to turn her fascination with horror and mystery into paranormal romance and romantic suspense. When not writing she can be found reading, fishing, working out, golfing or enjoying a good meal and laughter with friends and family.

S.L. Baum
I live in a house with 1 man, 3 kiddos, and multiple cats and dogs... it is a busy place around here. So when I am not feeding an animal, or a person, or driving a child to school, an appointment, or some musical activity, I sit down with my laptop in hand and try to get the stories out of my head. I have had a love of sci-fi since I was a kid... watching Star Trek with my father. I am such a junky for action packed sci-fi movies to this day... thanks Dad! That love started to include the supernatural/paranormal as I reached my teens. I will always thank Anne Rice and Lestat for introducing me to a whole new genre... and my love of vampire fiction was born. When I began writing, I didn't even consider the YA paranormal genre. I started two previous projects that I couldn't finish, and I never knew why. But, when I started to write - A Chance for Charity (The Immortal Ones) - the story poured out of me and I loved every minute of the writing process! I still have those other stories, and someday I plan to go back and finish them.
I am a crafter by nature! This probably also explains my love of writing - it is in the creative family. I scrapbook, sew, bead, etc... I love to create. I have a room in my home dedicated to crafts. Paper, ribbons, stickers, die-cuts, there is a whole mess of supplies! At one time I was in the handcrafted wedding/party invitation business. You should see my kiddos' birthday invitations!
My other love is baking, although I don't do a ton of it. Because if I bake it, then I want to eat it! Cookie creation is a fun process. I like to see how many yummy ingredients I can cram into a recipe. So far, my favorite cookie is an oatmeal, coconut, chocolate chip, toffee bit cookie - YUM! You can find that recipe on my blog 🙂

Jessica Aspen
Jessica Aspen always wanted to be spirited away to a world inhabited by elves, were-wolves and sexy men who walk on the dark side of the knife. Luckily, she's able to explore her fantasy side and delve into new worlds by writing paranormal romance. She loves indulging in dark chocolate, reading eclectic novels, and dreaming of ocean vacations, but instead spends most of her time writing her spicy twisted fairy tales, walking the dog, and hiking in the amazing Colorado Rockies.
Jessica never expected to write spicy romance, but when a contest opened up asking for "Red Hot Fairytales" she rose to the challenge. The result, Little Red Riding Wolf, has been a finalist in two different contests; Passionate Ink's 2011 Stroke of Midnight and Desert Rose RWA's 2013 Golden Quill. And it also received a 2013 Holt Medallion Award of Merit from the Virginia Romance Writers. Who knew writing hot could be so much fun!
Jessica is currently working on the third book in her steamy fantasy romance series, Tales of the Black Court, where three witches take on the faery queen and discover love with the fae. Twisting fairy tales has grown into an obsession and she's super happy to write such different series, hot, sexy, new adult, shifters, and exotic, dark, fantastical fae.
Jessica is also a member of RWA, CRW, FF&P and PRO. And you can find out more about her at her website and blog. She loves hearing from her fans.

Mary Abshire
I am a romantic at heart and a lifetime lover of the paranormal, fantasy, and science fiction. Indianapolis is my home town. When I’m not working or binge watching television, I enjoy creating fantastical stories with vampires, demons, werewolves, angels, and/or other supernatural creatures. I like to add mystery and suspense along with romance to my books too. I live a quiet life and aspire to become a full-time writer after I am able to retire. I also hope to meet that vampire, werewolf, or angel who will sweep me off my feet. Hey, a girl can dream. And this one does.

F.E. Feeley Jr was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan and lived there for twenty years before joining the military. He is a veteran of the US Armed Services; having done a tour in support of Operation Iraq Freedom in 2002-2003, he turned college student, pursuing a degree in political science.

As a young man, reading took center stage in his life, especially those novels about ghosts, witches, goblins, and all the other things that went bump in the night. His favorite authors include such writers as Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Anne Rice, whose work allowed him to travel to far off places and meet fascinating and scary characters. As a gay man, he wishes to be able to write good fictional literature for those who love the genre and to write characters that readers can relate to. All in all, he is a cigarette smokin’, whiskey drinkin’, rock and roll lovin’, tattoo wearin’ dreamer of a man with a wonderful husband who puts up with his crap and lets him write his stories.

C. J. Baty
C. J. Baty lives in southwest Ohio. Her heart however, lives in the mountains of Tennessee where she hopes to retire some day. The mountains have always provided her with inspiration and a soothing balm to the stresses of everyday life.
The dream of writing her own stories started in high school but was left on the back burner of life until her son introduced her to fan fiction and encouraged her to give it a try. She found that her passion for telling a story was still there and writing them down to share with others was much more thrilling than she had ever expected.
She has a loving and supportive family who doesn't mind fixing their own meals when she is in the middle of a story. And a network of friends, who have encouraged and cheered her on in her quest of being an author.
One thing she has learned from life and she is often heard to say is: “You are never too old to follow your dream!”

Sandy Wolters
For more information about me and my books, please see my website here:
I've been an avid reader for years. To my husband's dismay, I have bookshelves full of books, rooms full of books, boxes full of books. My cars have books in them. I just can't seem to get rid of them after I read them. You just never know when you will want to read it again, right?
About two years ago, my husband gave me the dream gift, a Kindle. It was love at first sight and my first foray into the world of ebooks. To say the least, I am a technologically challenged person but when a reader, such as I, is told that you can have the book you want to read in seconds, I'm going to do whatever it takes to learn how to use it as quickly as possible.
While I still have books everywhere, I no longer take ten or twelve books with me when I go on vacation. The only thing I need is my Kindle. It never leaves my purse.
My genre of choice is romance with a paranormal twist. My authors of choice are Diana Palmer, Iris Johansen, Catherine Coulter, Jill Gregory and of course, the queen, Nora Roberts. I am also very partial to Michael Connelly, who is not a romance author but damn that man can write!
In my life prior to becoming an author, I was a Legal Assistant/Office Manager for a wonderful local estate planning attorney (no criminals that I know of). Prior to that, I also worked my way up the ladder in a large corporation, from payroll clerk to supervising nine employees in operational accounting.
When my children, Shandelle and Pilar, were small, I took a few years off to be a full-time mom and help my husband with his accounting work for his auto repair shop.
After, Michael, my husband, sold his business, he changed professions and started working for a national construction company.
Michael and I raised two beautiful, strong women so that's who I write about. The women in my books are strong individuals that have moments of weakness and frailty to work through.
