Ellis Leigh

Bio: A storyteller from the time she could

talk, Ellis grew up among family legends of hauntings, psychics, and love

spanning decades. Those stories didn’t always have the happiest of endings, so

they inspired her to write about real life, real love, and the difficulties

therein. From farmers to werewolves, store clerks to witches—if there’s love to

be found, she’ll write about it. Ellis lives in the Chicago area with her

husband, daughters, and a giant dog who hogs the bed.

Author:

Sharon Kay

Bio: Sharon Kay writes award-winning

fiction and can never get enough reading time. She loves paranormal romance,

with romantic suspense following close on its heels.  She loves winter and

black coffee, and is endlessly inspired to write kick-ass heroines and the men

strong enough to capture their hearts.

Sharon lives in the Chicago area with her

husband and son, and didn’t expect to write one book, let alone a series.

But WICKED WIND and the Solsti series formed in her head one weekend and

refused to stay quiet until she put pen to paper.  Her characters tend to

keep her up at night, as they banter, fall in love, and slay endless varieties

of power-hungry demons.

She loves to hear from readers!  You

Author:

Stephanie Julian

Bio: I'm a reformed reporter who

enjoys making up stories much more than writing about real life.


In sixth grade, I found my mother's stash of romance novels hidden under her

bed and realized they were much more interesting than the books in the

school library. I devoured Rosemary Rogers, Bertrice Small and, most

especially, Kathleen Woodiwiss.


In college, I majored in English and continued to expand my favorites list.

Shakespeare, the Canterbury Tales, the Bronte sisters, Mary Shelley. Then I

graduated and discovered there wasn't much I could do with an English degree.


That's when I found out they would pay me to write for a living at a newspaper.

Want to learn how to write tight and clean? Work for a daily local and condense

a three-hour meeting with an angry mob of residents upset about a sewer

system overhaul into 15 inches in 20 minutes.





After my sons were born, I freelanced, working at home in my drafty attic

office, and developed a two-book-a-day Harlequin habit that turned

into a writing habit. My first attempts at romance were firmly rooted in the

Harlequin tradition and I sold my first two romances to Avalon Books under the

name Stephanie Scott.


But writing sweet romances was not what I'd had in mind. I wanted to write

books where people actually got to have sex. I contracted my

first erotic romance to Ellora's Cave and never looked back.


I write sexy series that combine heat with heart in several series.


I'm happily married to a Springsteen fanatic and I'm the mother of

two sons who introduced me to the joys of Slipknot, Warped Tour and

never-ending headaches.

Author:

Anna Lowe

Bio: USA Today and Amazon bestselling

author Anna Lowe is a middle school teacher who loves dogs, sports, and travel

- and letting those inspire her fiction. Once upon a time, she was a

long-distance triathlete and soccer player. Nowadays, she finds her balance

with yoga, writing, and family time with her husband and young children.

Anna started reading romance in spite of

herself (because tomboys don't read romance – right? Wrong!) and has enjoyed

reading and writing in the genre ever since. Two of her favorite romance

authors are Kristan Higgins (for sweet love stories) and Rosalind James (for

the combination of a New Zealand setting and sports). She's a fan of capable

heroines like Rylee Adamson (by Shannon Mayer, who mixes action, fantasy and

romance). On any given weekend, you might find her hiking in the mountains or

hunched over her laptop, working on her latest story. Either way, the day will

end with a chunk of dark chocolate and a good read.

PS - Who Anna Lowe is not: She is not the

Anna Lowe of the Paris boutique (!) nor is she the Anna Lowe of an

autobiographical book concerning her childhood. She's just plain old Anna of

this site!

Author:

Lori Whyte

Bio: Paranormal and erotic

romances--always with happy endings--make me happy, so that's what I write. I

live in Canada, where Mother Nature only seems to allow two months of summer,

so I have a lot of time indoors to write even more romances! (You have to keep

warm somehow, right?)

Author:

somewhere deep in her soul, that being a writer was what she was born to be.

Thanks to the new and exciting world of self-publishing, Marie was finally able

to make her dream come true. Part two of the dream is to be a full-time writer,

spending the wee hours of morning creating new and exciting characters for her

Author:

Catherine Vale

Bio: Catherine Vale has been writing

fiction for as long as she can remember, but it wasn’t until she wrote her very

first paranormal romance story that she found herself hooked on the raw, edgy

love affair of shifters, vampires and other dominant alpha males and the

captivating women that love them.

Catherine writes both contemporary and

paranormal romance that always include powerful alpha males, smart and sassy

heroines and a happily-ever-after (even if she often puts her characters

through hell to get there!)

Author:

J.K. Harper

Bio:  J.K. Harper writes about paranormal romance

because despite a lifetime of wishing, all the cool supernatural book

characters of her childhood don’t seem to be real. Besides, it’s just really

fun to make stuff up and write it down. She lives in the rugged, gorgeous

canyon country of the Southwest, which is a great place to let her imagination

run wild.

Author:

Elle Thorne

Bio: Elle bends the rules, creates havoc,

and raises cain every chance she gets. When she's not involved in these

pursuits, she's writing stories about hot men, sexy women, and the stuff that

happens between them. On occasion, those men and women are aliens, shifters,

demons. This makes them so much hotter!





"For the most part, I'm an ordinary girl, who lives an ordinary life and

has been lucky enough to be exposed (no pun, seriously) to many different walks

of life. Some of the opportunities I passed up on quite unwisely, but if I'd

taken them, then I wouldn't be here, now.


So, no regrets, right? Or so I'd like to think, because regretting what you

can't change may be pointless."
