Nicky Pellegrino

I was born and grew up near Liverpool, England. For a while I worked as a magazine journalist in London but then 21 years ago I came on holiday to New Zealand and met my future husband Carne Bidwill at a wedding. Now we live together near a beach in Auckland with our dogs Charlie the standard poodle and Lucy the pointer. I spend my time writing novels, working as a freelance journalist, riding my two horses, growing veges in my garden, cooking, trying to get other people to cook for me, eating and reading. There isn't much time for anything else except a little light housework.
My all-time favourite book is To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee and my book of 2013 was LIfe After LIfe by Kate Atkinson.

Alison Roberts

I was born and raised in Dunedin, New Zealand, but had my first year of school in London, UK and the second in Washington DC. I became a primary school teacher and began writing when I was living in Glasgow, Scotland for two years and teachers were all on strike. My first novel was a medical thriller with a good dash of romance thrown in.
I have now written well over a hundred romance novels with more than a dash of medicine thrown in. I love weaving the emotional journey of a love story through the background drama the medical world can provide. I also love the rabbit holes I can go down in the name of research.
Above all, I love romance. And a happy ending!

Ignė Norvaišaitė-Aleliūnienė

Ignė Ale nuo mažens rašė apsakymus, eilėraščius, romanų ištraukas. Baigdama vidurinę mokyklą auklėtojos įduotoje anketoje drąsiai pareiškė svajojanti tapti rašytoja ir nuo to laiko... neberašė. Manė, jog aistrą kurti patenkins versdama kitų autorių knygas į lietuvių kalbą, bet galiausiai neištvėrė ir puslapiuose įkurdino ne vienus metus jos galvoje gyvenusius veikėjus. To rezultatas – pirmoji grožinė autorės knyga „Tarp A ir B".

Ignė su vyru ir šunimi gyvena Klaipėdoje. Laisvalaikiu mėgsta svajoti prie jūros, skaityti ir keliauti.

Diney Costeloe

Encouraged by my publisher father, I have been writing all my life. When I was five, he took my first effort to his office and brought it back in a cardboard cover with the label, 'Tom's Party'written by Diney, published by Daddy.
I've never looked back and always have some writing on the go.
To date I have written 10 romantic novels under the name of Diney Delancey (I liked the shape of the name and it sounded like a romantic novelist) and four novels as Diney Costeloe.
All are also in large print and several recently published as e-books.

Kalba keturiomis užsienio kalbomis, išmaišiusi Viduržemio jūros regioną, itin pamilo Umbriją – jos viduramžiškus miestus, žmones, virtuvę bei tradicijas. Domėdamasi italų kultūra ir istorija, sukaupė daug vertingų žinių, kuriomis dalijasi su skaitytojais. „Be užburiančios miestelių atmosferos, kvapą gniaužia nuošaliose vietose įsikūrusios abatijos ir vienuolynai, žaliuojančios kalvos ir žydintys laukai, vinguriuojančios upės, tyvuliuojantys ežerai. Atrodo, jog tai – nutapyti paveikslai", – sako autorė.
