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.

Nelson K. Foley
Nelson K. Foley is in fact my real name, but among family, friends and acquaintances I am better known as Keith Foley. I put that down to my mother (but I have no evidence) who got confused when calling out a name, since my father was also 'Nelson'. What is also interesting is that my name honours a family naval lineage that goes back several generations of 'Nelson' and 'Nelson Trafalgar'. It also sounds better as an author name!

Hi! I’m Grace.

I’m so glad you’re here! Originally from Long Island, I now live in Florida, where I pretend the lizards in my backyard are miniature dragons and soak up the sunshine. I can usually be found with a notebook in one hand and a paperback (or my Kindle!) in another. A storyteller at heart with a deep romantic streak, I write what I love to read: stories filled with swoon and steam, laughter and love, family and friendships, and authentic, earnest emotions and growth. I love drawing on my personal passions for my books, which is how my sports fanaticism resulted in the Beyond the Play series.

Hello there! I'm the author of many novels — and not only that but many kinds of novels, from a YA detective series and a proper literary novel about the ups and downs of female friendship to an interactive vampire thriller that ran as a serialization in an online magazine that the New York Times called “brilliant.” Not sure about that, but it was definitely bananas. I am especially fond of my latest work, The Memo, co-written with my dear friend Rachel Dodes. It’s a book about a woman who has a crushing sense that she never got the memo—and it turns out she is right. There was a memo she didn’t get. Literally. When Jenny shows up at her 15th college reunion, her old career counselor tracks her down and hands over the magic set of instructi
