About the Author :
When she was in third grade, Megan Hart fell in love for the first time. Not with a boy (that would wait until fourth grade), but with a story. Homecoming by Ray Bradbury leaped out at her from the pages of a library book, and she tumbled head over heels. In the dark ages, before the days of photocopiers, the only way for her to keep a copy of this story was to copy it out by hand so she could read it over and over again. Something funny happened, though, as she carefully printed it on lined notebook paper. She made "improvements."At age twelve, reading Stephen King's The Stand for the first time one memorable summer, it occurred to her that people really did write books for a living. That's when she decided to become an author. Megan began writing short fantasy, horror and science fiction before graduating to novel-length romances. In 1998, now a stay-home mom, Megan took up writing in earnest, attending her first writing conference and getting her first request for a full manuscript. In 2002 she saw her first book in print, and she hasn't stopped since. She's published in almost every genre of romantic fiction, including historical, contemporary, romantic suspense, romantic comedy, futuristic, fantasy and perhaps most notably, erotic. She also writes non-erotic fantasy and science fiction, as well as continuing to occasionally dabble in horror.Megan's goal is to continue writing spicy, thrilling love stories with a twist. Her dream is to have a movie made of every one of her novels, starring herself as the heroine and Keanu Reeves as the hero. Megan lives in the deep, dark woods with her husband and two monsters...er...children. I love to hear from readers! Please contact me at: readinbed AT gmail DOT com Even though Kate is an Aries (the fire sign), she thinks of herself as a water baby. She can't resist the ocean; it sings to her. Every day, she spends at least a few minutes watching the water, and on good, or very bad, days, you can find her walking the seawall for hours, rain or shine.Kate Austin has worked as a legal assistant, a commercial fisher, a brewery manager, a teacher, a technical writer and a herring popper, while managing to read an average of a book a day. Go ahead, ask her anything. If she doesn't know the answer, she's more than happy to make it up because she's been reading and writing fiction for as long as she can remember. She's got loads of practice at making things up.Kate blames her mother and her two grandmothers for her reading and writing obsession, all of them were avid readers and they passed the books and the obsession on to her. And she reads everything, from fantasy to mysteries to literary fiction to romance. She's addicted to books, and buying them is her biggest expense.Kate Austin writes the same way...passion combined with a big dose of addiction. It's part of her day, every day. She loves writing, the process and the product, and is astonished and delighted that twenty years on, she's finally getting paid for it. Amanda's zest for life inspires her "character-driven" stories. Her passion is to take ordinary characters and place them in extraordinary situations. She feels fortunate to be able to do what she loves, aspires to stay fresh and unique to her voice, and listens to her readers. A member of RWA and a multi-genre hybrid author, her work is published internationally, in audio, in e-book and in print. She currently writes sizzling contemporary and erotic historical romance. No biography available at this time. Eva Cassel discovered romance novels on her thirteenth birthday, when a friend cluelessly grabbed and gifted a particularly torrid example off her mother's bookshelf. When she encountered the first love scene Eva's eyes bugged out and an addiction was born.
Her favourites were always the novels thick with psychological tension, smouldering eye contact and page-turning power dynamics. Hundreds of pirates (and years of therapy) later, she just couldn't contain herself any longer and began feverishly writing her own.
Otherwise, she's a graduate student in English, living on the lush west coast of Canada, designing clothing for fun, and trying to get Zen any way she can. Grace d'Otare has traveled the world looking for love in all the right places. For now, she's settled on the Third Coast because a change of seasons builds character. Turn-ons: a man's laugh, playing dress up, castles with turrets. Turn-offs: cold hands, Axe, damp socks. First Erotic Experience: Sweet Savage Love, a sleeping bag and a flashlight. Favorites: dark chocolate, a deep voice, faux fur and room service. Education: behind the auditorium curtain, in the girls' dorm lounge and underwater (that hot tub.) After graduating eighteenth grade, Grace earned the title "Master of Education." Rigorous independent study and online enrichment opportunities continue to maintain her qualifications.Grace is always on the lookout for readers to share her next sexy adventure.Grace loves to hear from her readers via her email: grace@gracedotare.com No biography available at this time. It's been a dream of mine to be an author ever since I was nine years old. I would scribble a few pages in a notebook only to find that notebook years later and say "Hey, that wasn't bad. Why didn't I finish it?" Many, many (more than I want to think about) years later I completed my first novel participating in National Novel Writing Month (www.NaNoWriMo.org) and have been writing furiously ever since, fueled by chocolate and multiple cups of tea. I save the champagne for celebrating when I'm done!My goal is to create sexy, romantic, and humorous stories. I started writing erotica because I wanted to know what went on behind the bedroom door of many novels. Plus, I love to make my critique partners squirm at every available opportunity.Besides writing, I have worked in graphic design (before we had computers!), public relations, home/office organizational systems, retail, and non-profit associations. I'm currently working on my teaching certification to teach art. Art/Writing? I can't decide because both are so much fun!I love reading with a passion, listening to lots of different kinds of music (Van Morrison, Springsteen, Southside Johnny, Saw Doctors), watching movies featuring studly men (Alan Rickman, Daniel Craig, Johnny Depp, Jason Isaacs), and listening in on other people's conversations.Please send me an email and say hello Alison Richardson read her first romance novel (a Mills & Boon Sexy/Harlequin Presents swiped from her grandmother) at age twelve. She was instantly hooked, and she spent the better part of every family vacation thereafter closed up in her room with Grandma's Harlequin romances. Her love affair with romance novels had to be a furtive one - her mother fought a losing battle to convince her that Little Women and The Secret Garden were all any girl needed for imaginative escape, and Alison got very, very good at quickly stuffing the romance under her pillow and pulling out something serious-looking as soon as she heard footsteps heading toward her room.It wasn't long before Alison started making up her own stories, but it took a while to get anything down on paper. Her first attempts at writing came on a long business trip away from her husband, and she realised right away that writing romance was as addictive as reading it. She's very excited to see her stories under a Harlequin imprint.
