Maura Anderson: Texas Tea Photographer Lara Saunders has a lifelong secret — she can see and hear ghosts. When she was rescued from a near drowning by the ghost of a lighthouse keeper, he set her on a mission to document historic lighthouses and the lives of their keepers so they were not forgotten. Now on her third book in the series, Lara has arrived in San Diego to document the Old Point Loma Lighthouse but hasn’t counted on becoming the target of Cody Warren, the matchmaking owner of the Del Fantasma bar. Or falling in love with a handsome Park Ranger whose secret is even more strange than her own. About Maura: As the oldest child in a family of hugely prolific readers, I was hooked early on the wonders of worlds unknown and information at my fingertips. When I discovered Johanna Lyndsey in my teen years, I was hooked on romances. Adding to my rather diverse background, I am also a Wiccan High Priestess, an elder in my spiritual community (Mohsian Trad, for those who are curious). Aline de Chevigny Blood Red Mikael De Wohlf has lived the better part of his life as a ruthless, vicious vampire. Only one person, Annabella Micelli, has managed to sooth his vampire ire to warm what is left of his soul. But Annabella despises the way Mikael lives, the way he metes out justice, the way he has brought about the downfall of his enemies. How can he turn her disgust into lust and then maybe into love? About Aline: I live in Ontario, Canada and I am a Chemical Engineering Technologist by trade. I’ve only been writing a short time, but I’ve had stories floating around in my head since I was kid. When I embarked upon my scientific career, I started writing those stories down on paper, hadn’t dreamed they’d be published. My family is extremely supportive of my goal and encourage me to sub my work. They enjoy bragging to their friends and coworkers that they have an author in the family. Melissa Glisan Ware Wishes At Satin Knights, nothing is what it seems – including the talent. Songs simmer and clothes are stripped away - as are the club’s secrets. But the roots of deception go deeper and tangle in the lives of Jennifer Taylor and Rayn DeSantis in unexpected ways. Before they can make sense of the situation, an old promise comes due…one that could kill… About Melissa: I’ve always wanted to write, so I became an engineer. Seriously. My career path has led a merry chase through cook, trail-guide, gym instructor, and security. A true Jill of All Trades! Then I signed on as a news reporter. Now, I no longer report the news - I make it! At the bottom of the page are my horses: Magic, April and Jack. That’s what I am doing when I’m not writing. Michelle Hasker Weekend Menage
Dane and Neil get to offer one lucky romance writer the weekend of her wildest fantasy. Stacey can’t believe her husband is offering her this experience with one of their close friends. Will they be able to maintain their former relationship once the weekend is over? About Michelle: Michelle Hasker has been writing for four years. While there are ups and downs, she is much happier writing than not. On a normal day you can find her glued to the laptop in between pretending to clean and taking care of her four children and assorted pets. Michelle is a member of Romance Writers of America and the Fantasy, Futuristic and Paranormal chapter of RWA. She is also a member of The Daughters of Circe, Authors of Erotic Romance, and the Pink Chair Diaries. Michelle loves vampires and things that go bump in the night, so it’s no wonder her creations are truly paranormal.

I live in a wonderful rural community outside of Seattle, Washington with my amazing husband, Chuck, and our son Morgan. I also have an adult son, Jonathan, who is in college and not living at home (but is thankfully close enough to visit). We share our home with 7 indoor cats and an African Grey parrot as well as our backyard with a feral cat colony that we care for.
Even with all the draws on my time, I still manage to read about a book every day to two days. I believe reading is my lifelong addiction!
So as long as people enjoy my tales, I will continue to write them.
