Vanessa King

née, Toodles
Vanessa spent two years picking up the peelings of the best in the NYC burlesque scene and has the glitter in her pumps to prove it.

She spent the oughts bouncing between the coasts, from Brooklyn to Seattle, with stops in Arkansas and Virginia before landing in Boulder, Colorado. She lives with her Ron Swanson-esque husband, paper craft-obsessed daughter, and an elderly feline gentleman whose life she's plotting to upend with the introduction of a kitten.

When not writing, Vanessa enjoys reading, championing her favorite audiobooks, wielding a glue gun with unearned confidence, and the privilege of choosing her form of suffering with her fellow meat heads at Crossfit.

For adults
If you're a reality TV lover, the Marry Me, Juliet series are the books for you. Even if you're not a reality TV lover, they might be the books for you - several reality TV haters have enjoyed them.

The trilogy all take place at the same time on the same season of a reality dating show called Marry Me, Juliet (which bears a very strong resemblance to The Bachelor). While they all stand alone and can be read in any order, they work best when read in order.

Samantha Joyce

Samantha Joyce became an author because she much preferred writing about other people instead of herself. Then she was told she needed to write an author bio for her books and website, and her plan was thwarted. She’s the author of two adult romance books: Flirting with Fame and Dealing in Deception. She lives in Toronto, Ontario Canada, and when she is not writing, she’s baking pretty cakes or beading jewelry or sitting in the audience at many Broadway musicals. Samantha’s a hopeless romantic who loves writing about love. Her favorite thing in the world is making people laugh, so if you chuckle at least once while reading her books, this bio writing thing was worth it.
