Candace L. Talmadge
This author is also published under C.L. Talmadge and under Candace Lynn Talmadge.
As an author and paranormalist, I weave words into wider realities. I explore the missing half of self. The emotional and spiritual parts of our being that connect us to ourselves, to each other, and to the Divine, however we imagine that to be. That entails all manner of topics that are usually labeled paranormal only because our definition of normal is far too limited. Step into a far larger multiverse!
I am also a storyhealer and former business journalist who knew at age 12 that I wanted to write a novel. I spent decades researching arcane, paranormal subjects. This ignited a passion for alternative spirituality, leading me to become a Sunan storyhealer. M

Nalini Singh
I've been writing as long as I can remember and all of my stories always held a thread of romance (even when I was writing about a prince who could shoot lasers out of his eyes). I love creating unique characters, love giving them happy endings and I even love the voices in my head. There's no other job I would rather be doing. In September 2002, when I got the call that Silhouette Desire wanted to buy my first book, Desert Warrior, it was a dream come true. I hope to continue living the dream until I keel over of old age on my keyboard.

"was born in New Orleans, LA, in 1961. New Orleans is one of the most interesting American cities, and it has an incredibly rich and exotic culture that had a profound influence on me. Kids in other cities have lemonade stands; we sold voodoo gris-gris and made wax dolls in the likenesses of our enemies. It's a very beautiful city, and the constant heat and humidity make gardens grow out of control. There's an air of lassitude there, a general acceptance of eccentic or flamboyant behavior--the heat simply makes people do crazy things.
