Nancy Scanlon

Born and raised near Boston, MA, Nancy wrote her first romance novel at age 16, when she realized that fictional boyfriends were much easier to figure out than real ones. In the time since, she managed to earn her B.A. in English from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, obtain a graduate certificate in creative writing from the University of Cambridge, and marry the man of her dreams (but she still holds tight to her fictional boyfriends).

Nancy adores all things misty, caffeinated, chocolate, and grammatically correct. Currently living in northern Virginia, she spends her time reading, writing, raising her children, and watching too many Hallmark Channel movies.

Callie Berkham

I love to write all kinds of romance.

Historical Romance, the manners and the speech, the feeling of living in the times past. Whether the Heroes be English lords, Scottish Lairds, or Knights of old, the Heroines they fall in love with are independent, beautiful (in the Hero’s eyes), and smart. To me, there’s nothing better than to curl up with a great Historical Romance and let the modern world pass by.

Oh, but Contemporary Romance is just as compelling to me. Even in modern times, I believe we all want, and hope for, a love so surprising, so amazing, that our toes curl just at the mention of his or her name.

And it’s so much fun linking Contemporary characters with Historical characters in Time Travel Romance. Talk about a fish out of water

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!

For the lovers of literature, my family tree also includes Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes) who was married to my great grandfather's sister. They were all close friends.

I am British by origin, with a background in scientific publishing, and a passion for culture, art and travel. I have lived in and near Amste
