M.J. Ray

I live in the Northwest of England with my husband and two children.

In between working part time as a childminder, caring for my children and providing taxi duties I somehow find time to write. My ambition was always to write and I'm so happy that I'm finally getting a chance to do that.

I write YA sweet romance, where I get to create my dream man time and time again, and he gets to be different every time. I am lucky to have a real life perfect man at home that doesn't mind sharing me when I'm writing.

I hope you enjoy my books, as the ideas just keep coming there will be many more!

Kelly Hashway

Kelly Hashway fully admits to being one of the most accident-prone people on the planet, but that didn’t stop her from jumping out of an airplane at ten thousand feet one Halloween. Maybe it was growing up reading R.L. Stine’s Fear Street books that instilled a love of all things scary and a desire to live in a world filled with supernatural creatures, but she spends her days writing speculative fiction for young adults, middle graders, and young children. Kelly is also USA Today bestselling romance author Ashelyn Drake. When she’s not writing, Kelly works as an editor and also as Mom, which she believes is a job title that deserves to be capitalized.

Jamie Campbell

Jamie was born into a big, crazy family of 6 children. Being the youngest, she always got away with anything and would never shut up. Constantly letting her imagination run wild, her teachers were often frustrated when her ‘What I did on the weekend’ stories contained bunyips and princesses.

Growing up, Jamie did the sensible things and obtained a Bachelor of Business degree from Southern Cross University and worked hard to gain her membership with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia.

Yet nothing compared to writing. Quitting the rat race to spend quality time with her laptop named Lily, Jamie has written several novels and screenplays. Spanning a number of genres and mediums, Jamie writes whatever inspires her from ghost st

Jennifer Cano

As a kid, Jen lived coast to coast across the United States (in California, Oklahoma, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Utah) and also spent a year in Japan. For an introverted kid, all the moves meant difficulties making friends at school until Junior High. The natural gift of those years was elaborate day dreaming.

Jen has a snooty degree in English Literature and considers Agatha Christie the Queen of all things good in mystery. Her other favorite genres to read are fantasy and science fiction--anything that pushes reality aside and introduces her to worlds that only live in the imagination of another.

She lives in Utah with her husband and three children. She absolutely abhors making crafts, except once a year at Christmas time, when she takes

Jen Calonita

Hi Goodreads!
I'm Jen Calonita, a MG and YA author who loves what I do because it lets me connect with all of you (and no, I wasn't intending for that to rhyme!).

I've been writing ever since I can remember, but it was fourth grade when I put my "three wishes" for a genie down on paper. They were:
#1. Buy all the Cabbage Patch Kids in the world and give them away for free (because apparently that was how I rolled).
#2. I wanted a mansion, limo, lake house, pool and speed boat (still sounds quite nice).
#3. I wanted to be an author for young readers, which I am!

I love writing novels for teens (and for savvy grown ups who know that YA rocks at any age). My first series was "Secrets of My Hollywood Life" and it followed a teen star named Kaitlin B
