Jackie Ashenden

Jackie has been writing fiction since she was eleven years old. Mild mannered fantasy/SF/pseudo-literary writer by day, obsessive romance writer by night, she used to balance her writing with the more serious job of librarianship until a chance meeting with another romance writer prompted her to throw off the shackles of her day job and devote herself to the true love of her heart – writing romance. She particularly likes to write dark, emotional stories with alpha heroes who've just got the world to their liking only to have it blown wide apart by their kick-ass heroines.

She lives in Auckland, New Zealand with her husband, the inimitable Dr Jax, two kids, two cats and some guppies (possibly dead guppies by the time you read this). When sh

Olivia Dade

Olivia Dade grew up an undeniable nerd, prone to ignoring the world around her as she read any book she could find. Her favorites, though, were always, always romances. As an adult, she earned an M.A. in American history and worked in a variety of jobs that required the donning of actual pants: Colonial Williamsburg interpreter, high school teacher, academic tutor, and (of course) librarian. Now, however, she has finally achieved her lifelong goal of wearing pajamas all day as a hermit-like writer and enthusiastic hag. She currently lives outside Stockholm with her delightful family and their ever-burgeoning collection of books.

Laura Moher

Hi! I'm Laura.
I write contemporary romance novels set in the fictional North Carolina mountain town of Galway.

In my stories I want you to get to know the town and the characters well: what brings them together, what holds them apart, what they want and need. I want you to root for them and care about them, even when--like the people we love--they frustrate you. My stories may not be the best thing for you if you're in a don't-care-about-this-other-stuff-let's-cut-straight-to-the-sex-scenes mood. But if you're into yearning and mutual pining, I'm your girl.

If you're looking for stories of relationships that would raise red flags in real life, I am not your author. Repeat: Not your author.
That said, some of my characters have not had easy li
