Award winning author, Delilah Marvelle spent her youth studying various languages, reading voraciously, and playing the pianoforte. She confesses that here ends the extent of her gentle breeding. She was a naughty child who was forever torturing her parents with countless adventures that they did not deem respectable. Confined to her room on many occasions due to these misadventures, she discovered the quill and its amazing power. Soon, to the dismay of her parents, she rather enjoyed being confined to her room and finished writing her first historical romance (which was a heart stopping 800 pages long...) at the age of 14. And so her writing continues...

Kristina McMorris penned her first novel, LETTERS FROM HOME, based on inspiration from her grandparents' wartime courtship. Kristina has worked as a weekly TV host since age nine, and currently lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and two sons.

Meljean Brook - "Meljean was raised in the middle of the woods, and hid under her blankets at night with fairy tales, comic books, and romances. She left the forest and went on a misguided tour through the world of accounting before focusing on her first loves, reading and writing–and she realized that monsters, superheroes, and happily-ever-afters are easily found between the covers, as well as under them, so she set out to make her own. Meljean lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband and daughter."

Lisa Hendrix - "Lisa Hendrix fell in love for the first time at age 10 (with both of the Men from U.N.C.L.E., for those of you who remember that far back) and has been fascinated by the whole concept of love ever since. That interest led her naturally enough to reading romance novels, and then to writing them–-which, coincidentally, put her in a hotel elevator with Robert Vaughn at an RWA conference. Still waiting for that equally serendipitous encounter with David McCallum, she is now working on The Immortal Brotherhood, an extended series about a crew of cursed Viking raiders. The third book IMMORTAL CHAMPION hit the shelves in early 2011, and fourth, IMMORTAL DEFENDER will be out in August 2012."
