Alison Kent is the author of more than fifty published works, including her debut novel, Call Me, which she sold live on the “Isn’t It Romantic?” episode of CBS’s 48 Hours. Her novels A Long, Hard Ride and Striptease were both finalists for Romantic Times Reviewer’s Choice Awards, while The Beach Alibi was honored by the national Quill Awards and No Limits was selected as a Cosmopolitan Magazine Red Hot Read. The author of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Writing Erotic Romance and a veteran blogger, Alison decided long ago that if there’s a better career than writing, she doesn’t want to know. She lives in her native Texas with her petroleum geologist husband, three rescue dogs, one a Hurricane Katrina survivor, and a colony of semi-feral cats, one of whom has learned to use the dog door and comes and goes at will. She also fights the region's heat to grow tomatoes and jalapeños, as those edibles pretty much take care of themselves, giving her more time to play on Twitter, and write. http://www.alisonkent.com/

Charlotte Dillon - "Making up stories is always a great distraction, the very best kind of distraction!"Charlotte was born in southern Louisiana, less than a couple of hours from New Orleans. As a child she feared bedtime, when the house grew still and quiet; lights would be turned out one by one, and her bedroom settled into inky darkness and shadows. Each night she invented characters, designed worlds, and slipped away from the darkness and childhood fears. In high school, a friend gave her a romance novel. The perfect kind of book; always happy endings, the good guys never finished last, and dreams come true. Thousands of romances later, marriage and babies, she wrote the first words of her own romance. Back then she thought just wrote a manuscript, sent it to a publisher, and a few months later it was a book on the shelves. A year's collection of rejection letters proved her greenhorn theory dead wrong! Now, she spends her days as a freelance writer, and evenings and weekends working on tales of heroes, heroines, and the kind of romance dreams are made of. http://www.charlottedillon.com/index.html

She is also an ordained minister and performs wedding ceremonies, a job she loves.

An award-winning, best-selling author, Donna Clayton [awa Donna Fasan], blames her entire writing career on her husband. "I was perfectly happy simply reading all those luscious Silhouette Romance novels," she says, with a grin. However, when her youngest son started school, she decided it was time for her to venture out into the world to find a job. "Not that motherhood isn't a job," she is quick to assure. "Being a parent — raising self-confident, independent, secure, kind and caring kids — is one of life's most important occupations. However, raising children these days takes more money than is contained in the National Mint."
Years ago, her husband took one look at the piles upon piles of romance novels lying around and said, "Why don\t you write a book?" Maybe he was being sincere…maybe he was being facetious, but whatever the intent, his suggestion planted a seed in Donna's mind, a seed that quickly sprouted and took root. http://www.donnafasano.com/

Born: 1964, Dallas, Texas, USA. Now I work part-time as a vocational counselor and spend most of the rest of my time taking care of a house, a husband, and two children who are not yet at the totally obnoxious stage. I mean the children; the husband varies.
I'm what they call in Texas a "fall crop"--my parents unfortunately had two other children long before I was born. My big brother is a corporation lawyer, my sister a socialite married to riches. Both are Republicans, and consider me odd. I'm not at all odd--they are. https://janemac98.tripod.com/janemacdonald/index.html

After college, I worked for many years as an executive assistant, with a variety of companies. During this time, I honed my skills with Microsoft Office Word, Excel, Publisher, Access, and PowerPoint. I learned professional business etiquette and the importance of teamwork. http://www.jenellooney.com/about.html

Welcome to the world of Kathy Carmichael where there are evil dust bunnies and troublesome trolls lying in wait around each bend, ready to make you laugh and smile and discover your inner child. When Kathy grew up in North Dallas, the area wasn’t developed as it is now. Across the street from her home were woods thick with trees and ivy, and a white-chalk creek. There were fairies beneath rocks and pretend people hiding under bushes. She spent much of her childhood telling herself and neighborhood children stories of knights and magic and beautiful damsels.
Kathy believes one of the most important gifts you can give your children (and dust bunnies) is to read to them. She’s doing her best to pass on a love for the written word and hopes each of her readers will do the same. http://www.kathycarmichael.com/

Lisa Gardner - I’ve always loved to read and I’ve always loved to write. At eighteen I got the bright idea to write a romance novel. I needed something to do during the day before I went to my summer job as a waitress. God knows waitressing wasn’t going well. We had this appetizer called flaming saganaki-basically flaming cheese. You’re supposed to serve the sizzling cheese with grand flourish, dousing it in brandy, then tossing a match. Mostly I caught my hair on fire. Then there was the time I flipped the flaming appetizer onto the floor and had to beat it out with a serving tray. Let’s just say my days in food service were numbered, so it was a good thing I was working on a novel.
A funny thing happened my junior year of college. The novel-rewritten several times now-actually sold to Silhouette Intimate Moments. They gave the book the title, WALKING AFTER MIDNIGHT, and me the name Alicia Scott. It was pretty exciting. Then I got the check in the mail. Three thousand dollars. Not much for three years of work. I bought a computer for my new nom de plume, then went out to get a real job. https://www.lisagardner.com/
Marti Talbott - I was born in a little town in Colorado and grew up in Grand Junction, a wide valley where the Gunnison and the Colorado Rivers meet. I married, had two daughters, divorced, and eventually moved to Seattle, WA. I love it here and doubt I will ever leave. I spend most of my days writing more books. After I retired, I had lots of time on my hands, so I started writing ANNA and just for fun, posted the story on this website for people to read free. Anna, typos and all, was a huge success. Next, I wrote the story of Anna's little sister, Rachel. Charlet was the most fun to write, and after her, came seventeen more short stories of life, laughter, and love in the MacGreagor clan.
Before my grandparents passed, they wrote the story of their courtship in the early 1900's. Using some of the information from their writings, Marblestone Mansion was born. There are now ten books in that series. Next, I wrote The Lost MacGreagor Books. I love hearing from readers, so please feel free to contact me anytime. https://www.martitalbott.com/

Megan Potter is a Spiritual and Intuitive Coach and Speaker and strives to be a general, all around inspirer (is that a word?) of people – aka a Muse. And that doesn’t even include all her normal girl jobs! Her blog at Limitless Living is meant to inspire all the normal, everyday women, just like her, to believe that they are really Gorgeous, Brave women who can change the world and live a life with no limits. She’s all about Spirit and Passion and Living Your Purpose with Creativity and Joy; even if she is learning as she goes.
Goal: “My goal is to post three time a week (one of which is a Meme I’ve been running) so my goal would be six posts plus the ones I have to blog in the interim.” Using the wisdom of the Five Elements (cue the “Power of Greyskull” music) I equip trailblazers, provocateurs, leaders and successful women, for whom good enough is more like being forced to eat nothing but trail mix for days on end – never quite satisfying (plus, sticking in your teeth and a little drying), to recognize the unrecognizable, to make their way in uncharted territory and to transcend their limits – all of their limits (no more banging your head on that inexplicable, invisible ceiling). https://www.facebook.com/limitless.megan
Mia Zachary [awa Mia Lena] - When Mia was about 10 years old, her mother let her read a "grown-up" book. It was a Harlequin Romance about a small-town veterinarian and the family practitioner. That story was pretty tame by today's standards - the hero and heroine didn't even kiss until the last page - but it opened up a whole new world to a romantic little girl who loved to write.
Over the years, Mia penned really bad poetry, even worse song lyrics, adolescent short stories and overly descriptive class papers. Then one day a scene for a medieval romance emerged fully detailed in her head and she rushed to get it on paper. That scene eventually turned into eight chapters and a synopsis, but she kept getting bogged down in historical research and set the story aside.
One of her contemporary romance manuscripts won the Harlequin Books 2000 Summer Blaze Contest for bold, brash love scenes, placing second in the published category. On July 10, 2002, after four years and nine rewrites, Red Shoes & a Diary finally sold to the Harlequin Blaze line. In addition to being a fiction author, she's also a creativity coach and a paralegal hoping to quit the law firm to write full-time.

Nora Roberts on Writing: Before she started writing, Nora Roberts was a woman in search of a creative outlet. Staying at home with her two small sons, she was the ultimate earth mother, gardening, canning fruits and vegetables, making her son’s clothes, stitching and knitting. “I macramed two hammocks,” she admits now. “I needed help.”
That help came in the form of a blizzard in February 1979, which left her stranded at home for a week. In an age without four-wheel drive vehicles, getting down the hillside from where she lived was impossible. Morning kindergarten was canceled for a week. It was the endless games of Candy Land and a severe lack of chocolate that drove her to look for a little entertainment that was not child-related. She took out a notebook and started to write down one of the stories she’d made up in her head. https://noraroberts.com/

Since 2000, New York Times bestselling author Sabrina Jeffries has penned 20 Regency romances, three novellas, and three short stories—becoming a regular on both the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists, and winning more than a dozen industry awards in the process.
Writing about 19th-century English life comes naturally for Jeffries. Not only is she a lifelong Jane Austen fan, but she has a doctorate in English lit from Tulane and a specialty in Early Modern British literature. Yet the impetus for her stories, Jeffries says, is always “what if”—not what if her hero likes this or that, but what if this happened and this happened… what would it do to a person? And she writes, she says, because “I can’t not write… I have stories in my head, and I have to get them out.” https://sabrinajeffries.com/SASE = Self-addressed, stamped envelope with sufficient return postage affixed.
Sharon Horton - A friend once asked Sharon to try writing a single paragraph. That paragraph led to a novel of over 200,000 words! She's been writing ever since.

Shirley Kawa-Jump didn't have the willpower to diet nor the talent to master under-eye concealer, so she bowed out of a career in television and opted instead for a career where she could be paid to eat at her desk—writing. She started out in journalism, selling her first article at the age of eleven. She hosted two of her own shows on the local cable channel and was the co-host of a late-night comedy show for two years. After writing 3000 articles and two non-fiction books, Shirley decided a career as a freelance writer suited her better. Humor got her through mashed potato flingfests and toilet paper decorating sprees. Seeking revenge on her children for grocery store tantrums, she sold embarrassing essays to anthologies such as Chicken Soup for the Working Woman's Soul and Chocolate for Women II. Then she turned to the world of romance novels, where messes are (usually) cleaned up before The End and no one is calling anyone a doodoo head. Shirley has sold over twenty-five novels and now writes stories for Harlequin/Silhouette and Kensington Books about love, family and food—the three most important things in her life.Shirley Kawa-Jump didn't have the willpower to diet nor the talent to master under-eye concealer, so she bowed out of a career in television and opted instead for a career where she could be paid to eat at her desk—writing.

Modern authors do so much more than writing books. They also maintain blogs, produce videos, hold speeches, and discuss relevant subjects on social media. They offer a holistic service that revolves around the value they labor to produce for their audience. In Stefan’s case, the value is enlightenment, the evolution of consciousness.
At his online enlightenment workshop, Stefan showcases fiction & non-fiction books, articles, memes, flash fiction, videos, and email courses. The workshop’s flagship content is a two-year practical enlightenment email course.

Teri Brown - I'm not sure who to tell you about here because I'm actually two people rolled into one. As a responsible mother of teens, I show one persona to the world. That person is driven, conservative and level headed. But the other part of me just never grew up. She is rebellious, impulsive and curious. It's hard being both these people. They're often at odds. The mother part of me knows I should put a cap on how many animals we take in. The teen part of me wants to save them all. We have five cats and two dogs. Who do you think is winning? The mother in me believes my teen daughter should stay in school all day and not be yanked out because of a super sale at the mall. The teen part wonders how many times will I have money and a 12 hour sale at the same time? (I won't say who won that skirmish... you never know who might be reading.) Even now. The mother part wants to make a meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and a tossed salad. The teen part wants to order a pizza, work on my website and check social media.. https://teribrownbooks.com/
