RITA-winning, romantic suspense author Annie Solomon has been dreaming up stories since she was ten. After a twelve-year career in advertising where she rose to Vice President and Head Writer at a mid-size agency, she abandoned the air conditioners, furnaces, and heat pumps she wrote about in her professional life for her first love--romance. You’ll find excerpts from all her books at her website, www.anniesolomon.com. She lives in Nashville with her husband, her knitting, her soaps, and her addiction to online Scrabble.

Living so close to Nashville has provoked me to take up fiddle lessons. Until my tunes are fit for human consumption, I enjoy paranormal stories (Buffy, Sookie Stackhouse, Kitty Norville, Kelley Armstrong) or anything that combines romance with the just plain weird.

Kaye Dacus's Bio

Kim spent way too many years knowing she was going to someday publish before ever putting finger to keyboard. She earned a degree in mathematics, got married, raised a kid, and worked as a computer programmer, all before finally realizing that if she wanted to sell books, she had to get busy writing. Since beginning her career, she’s earned numerous awards, including Romance Writers of America’s prestigious Golden Heart®, and has received praise time and again for her snappy dialogue, sexual tension, and the ability to draw a reader in, making them feel as if the story is playing out right in front of them instead of simply words on a page.

She makes her home in Tennessee with her husband, two dogs and two cats, and looks forward to her debut novel coming out by Amazon Montlake (Spring 2012), with her second book to follow in the fall.

Kim can be found online at her website, www.kimlaw.com, or by following @kim_law or www.facebook.com/kimlawauthor. She also participates regularly at the multi-author blog, www.rubyslipperedsisterhood.com.

Lisa Marie Wilkinson's Bio

Website: http://www.lisamariewilkinson.com/

Marie-Nicole Ryan is an award winning romantic suspense author who's had a life-long love affair with books. It was only natural for her to sit herself down and write them, too.

After living in Nashville, TN, for *mumble* decades, she once again lives in her old home town of Henderson, KY.

She's a member of ROMANCE WRITERS OF AMERICA and MUSIC CITY ROMANCE WRITERS, and Published Authors Special Interest Chapter (PASIC). When she served as the editor of MCRW's newsletter, Love Notes, MCRW won the RWA small chapter newsletter contest for the year 2005.

She's a former R.N. who finally retired to write full time and shares her abode with the vastly spoiled, but still very sweet, Cassie the Wonder Sheltie.
