 Meet author Denise Moncrief. Denise is a Southern girl. She has lived in Louisiana all her life, and yes, she has a drawl. She has a wonderful husband and two incredible children, who not only endure her writing moods, but also encourage her to indulge her writing passion. Besides writing romantic suspense, she enjoys traveling, reading, and scrapbooking. Accounting is a skill she learned to earn a little money to support her writing habit. She wrote he first story when she was a teen, seventeen handwritten pages on school-ruled paper and an obvious rip-off of the last romance novel she read. She’s been writing off and on ever since, and with more than a few full-length manuscripts already completed, she has no desire to slow down. What made you pick the genre you write? I write romantic suspense. I love the build-up of tension in the plot until that moment when all the threads come together and the tension reaches a crescendo. How many books do you have published? seventeen Who is your favorite author? Heather Graham Where do you most like to vacation? Colorado. I love the mountains. If you could have lunch with anyone (living or deceased) who would it be and why? My father. I miss him so much. I never realized how much I depended on him for advice until after he died. I miss him every single day. Where can readers find out more about you? www.denisemoncrief.com or www.denisemoncrief.blogspot.com

 Meet Joel Van Valin, author of The Grand Dissolute. Joel Van Valin is the author of the fantasy novel The Flower of Clear Burning and the publisher of Whistling Shade literary journal (www.whistlingshade.com). He lives with his wife Lisa, a real life veterinarian, in St. Paul. What made you pick the genre you write? I have written in sci-fi, fantasy and historical genres. In the case of The Grand Dissolute, an idea I had about a guy whose girlfriend is a time traveler really captivated me. I wrote a short story about it but it still wouldn't let me go. So I wound up blending sci-fi, historical and romance together in a novel. How many books do you have published? Two - The Grand Dissolute and an earlier fantasy, The Flower of Clear Burning. Have you won any awards with your writing? A short story I wrote won a local story contest.$500! That's the most I've ever earned for creative writing. I've also won a couple of newspaper poetry contest and had a winning sonnet in a sonnet contest sponsored by the Great River Shakespeare Festival. Who is your favorite author? Dead: Edna St. Vincent Millay. Living: David Mitchell. Where do you most like to vacation? England If you could have lunch with anyone (living or deceased) who would it be and why? Lord Byron. I would be curious about his opinions on our 21st century world. And also perhaps he could talk about his own personal life (his friends burned his memoirs shortly after his death, for fear of scandal). Where can readers find out more about you?

 Meet Susan Lohrer, author of Rocky Road, a romantic comedy. Susan Lohrer grew up all over western Canada and lives in BC with her husband, their two children who are still at home, three dogs, and far too many aquariums. She believes life is always better with a healthy dose of humor. What made you pick the genre you write? It wasn't planned. That's just how the words came out. How many books do you have published? Three. Have you won any awards with your writing? The opening chapters of Rocky Road took second place in a minor RWA contest. So...not really. Who is your favorite author? Bernadette Marie. She's not just a great storyteller, she's also a wonderful person in general. Where do you most like to vacation? Anywhere peaceful and sunny. For instance, our family spending a week inside the RV with three dogs basically on top of my head because it rained the entire time we were there. One of the dogs was a half-grown Labrador. That remains the most memorable vacation ever. If you could have lunch with anyone (living or deceased) who would it be and why? My grandparents. They've always been a tremendous inspiration to me, especially because they deliberately remained married to each other for about a million years.

 Wilhelmina Stolen is the pseudonym for romance writer, Shannon Hayes. Shannon is a native of Kentucky and makes her home in a small southern town close to the Tennessee line. During her adolescence, her mother’s free spirited nature became restless causing the family to embark on a slew of adventurous moves across the country. The moves provoked a hunger for adventure and romance and introduced her to a wonderful world of history and beauty.
As with most writers, her stories began at an early age with long sessions of seclusion and secrecy. While her classmates and friends were outside playing, Shannon was locked away in her room hammering out ideas on an old 1940’s Royal typewriter. After finding Mr. Right, Shannon found herself wanting the comfort and security of the small Kentucky town she longed to escape as a child. Fortune smiled upon her and she became the family historian; gathering pictures, wills, marriage certificates and everything else that somehow managed to fall into her lap. Stories flooded her mind and writing quickly became an obsession that turned into the Way of Hearts Saga. The saga spans six generations and three families. Shannon holds an Associates in Applied Science in Technology, a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration and Management as well as a Masters in Educational Leadership.
