Jayla Jasso
Jayla Jasso is a romance author and member of Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers. Her first novel, Caribbean Jewel, is currently #15 on the Amazon Kindle Top 100 Bestseller List for Historical Fiction-Caribbean and Latin America.
Jayla knew she wanted to be a novelist at age 15. Her “what do you want to be when you grow up” dream was to sell a novel by senior year, move to California, go to UCLA, and marry David Lee Roth. Unfortunately that career path didn’t pan out, so her first job was working as a secretary at an egg farm in East Texas, where she learned that there is a right place and a wrong place to have the song “Kiss You All Over” by Exile on constant repeat on a boom box. After high school, Jayla’s mother made her join the Army to help

Anna Belfrage
Anna was raised abroad, on a pungent mix of Latin American culture, English history and Swedish traditions. As a result she's multilingual and most of her reading is historical- both non-fiction and fiction. Possessed of a lively imagination, she has drawers full of potential stories, all of them set in the past. She was always going to be a writer - or a historian, preferably both. Ideally, Anna aspired to becoming a pioneer time traveller, but science has as yet not advanced to the point of making that possible. Instead she ended up with a degree in Business and Finance, with very little time to spare for her most favourite pursuit. Still, one does as one must, and in between juggling a challenging career Anna raised her four children on

Lynn Kurland
Lynn began her writing career at the tender age of five with a series of illustrated novellas entitled Clinton’s Troubles in which the compelling hero found himself in all sorts of . . . well, trouble. She was living in Hawaii at the time and the scope for her imagination (poisoned fish, tropical cliffs, large spiders) was great and poor Clinton bore the brunt of it. After returning to the mainland, her writing gave way to training in classical music and Clinton, who had been felled with arrows, eaten by fish and sent tumbling off cars, was put aside for operatic heroes in tights.

Deb Stover
At the tender age of four, Deb Stover declared her candidacy to become the first female President of the United States. She took a detour to play Lois Lane and penned her first Letter to The Editor at age eleven. The Lois Lane gig suited her, but she couldn't bring herself to blow Clark Kent's cover for the Big Story. At a relatively young age, she met and fell in love with her own real American Hero, so Superman was free to continue fighting for justice (seriously, what is Clark doing about the dearth of phone booths these days?).
