M. Wagner

Meet M Wagner, my mythical companion in this grand adventure and a long-lost friend. To safeguard the privacy of my family, I've opted for this pen name.

My spouse and I, proud parents of three children, embrace the tranquility of country life. Juggling full-time work, we find joy in extending a helping hand to others. The Dragon’s Promise Saga was written late at night and in early mornings, truly a labor of love.

As a child of the eighties, my fascination with castles knew no bounds. Castles were my world, until the enchantment of Harry Potter unfolded in my later years, reigniting my passion for reading.

My academic background in hard sciences has left an indelible mark on The Dragon’s Promise Saga's magic system. Drawing inspiration fro

Lover Girl followed more quickly, aided by pandemic restrictions and newly found creative freedom.

Nalini Singh

I've been writing as long as I can remember and all of my stories always held a thread of romance (even when I was writing about a prince who could shoot lasers out of his eyes). I love creating unique characters, love giving them happy endings and I even love the voices in my head. There's no other job I would rather be doing. In September 2002, when I got the call that Silhouette Desire wanted to buy my first book, Desert Warrior, it was a dream come true. I hope to continue living the dream until I keel over of old age on my keyboard.

I was born in Fiji and raised in New Zealand. I also spent three years living and working in Japan, during which time I took the chance to travel around Asia. I’m back in New Zealand now, but I’m always plot
