Amanda Cale

I was born and raised in North Carolina. I've been working on the Riddle universe since November of 2001, and just recently finished the first book in the trilogy.

A lot of what inspired me didn't come until after college. Even though I grew up in North Carolina, the setting of the book wasn't my home until much later. Thanks to my senior history paper, I was inspired to create a background element for the story that would add some history to the fictional town of Salt's Creek.

I'm currently working on the sequel to Riddle, and I'm pretty excited with the direction the story has taken.

Darcy Daniel

I've loved reading from an early age and fell in love with many genres, but was drawn most of all to thrillers and romances - leaving me ecstatic when I won the Charter Oak Golden Acorn contest for Best Contemporary Series Romance.

I'm lucky enough to live in a picturesque, historic small country town in Sydney, Australia with my two energetic dogs.
