AUTHORS

Born and raised in Texas, Kara had to make the state the setting for her first series. From the food to the fun, like floating the rivers, it is the fire in her blood that inspires her. Kara's family and friends take center stage in her books. Her sisters and best friends are her heroines, and her husband created her favorite hero. Love and family are the point of her stories, and she seeks to entertain, relieve stress, and inspire people. Books can take one on a journey that one can relive over and over. Kara is extremely grateful to those authors who did that very thing for her. For more information, please visit www.karaoneal.com.

JC Fairbanks began writing after a passionate dream made it impossible to think about anything else. In the dream, she got to know dozens of people whose stories were begging to be told. Intensely romantic, and deliciously steamy, her stories embody the fun, smart, and sassy world she wants to live in. JC is living her happily-ever-after by the San Francisco Bay, but you may spot her splashing in the waves anywhere saltwater is found. 

Nora Nolan is the pen name of a gray-haired grandmother who always wanted to write, but didn't get around to it until 2019. She's written several Old West romances with a good bit of spice and a hint of kink, always with a healthy dose of humor and characters you're bound to love. Nora and the love of her life live in Arkansas. Between them, they have two nearly perfect sons, two wonderful daughters-in-law, and three grands without whom the sun might not shine. They're currently dogless, but that might change at any time. She misses having a doggie around the house!

Suzanne Baginskie and her husband, Al, left New Jersey and relocated to the west central coast of Florida. She’s been writing ever since her mother gifted her a five-year diary for her eighth birthday. Unknowingly, her mother’s inspirational nudge helped the writer inside her emerge.

She recently retired from a law firm as a paralegal-office manager. Now she writes daily, spinning tales of romantic suspense that pair tantalizing mystery with compelling romance. She starts each day with a four-mile walk and meditates on her current writing project. A voracious reader, she supports her local library association as a friend. She loves traveling, especially on cruise ships. Most sea days on board, you’ll find her plotting stories outside on the deck, gazing at the ocean. Currently, she is working on her series.

Peggy Jaeger is a contemporary romance writer who writes Romantic Comedies about strong women, the families who support them, and the men who can’t live without them. If she can make you cry on one page and bring you out of tears, rolling with laughter the next, she’s done her job as a writer.

Family and food play huge roles in Peggy’s stories because she believes there is nothing that holds a family structure together like sharing a meal… or two… or ten. Dotted with humor and characters that are as real as they are loving, she brings all topics of daily life into her stories: life, death, sibling rivalry, illness and the desire for everyone to find their own happily ever after. Growing up the only child of divorced parents, she longed for sisters, brothers and a family that vowed to stick together no matter what came their way. Through her books, she’s created the families she wanted as that lonely child.

When she’s not writing, Peggy is usually painting, crafting, scrapbooking or decoupaging old steamer trunks she finds at rummage stores and garage sales.

As a lifelong diarist, she caught the blogging bug early on, and you can visit her at peggyjaeger.com where she blogs daily about life, writing, and stuff that makes her go “What??!"

Though born in the Bronx, Suzanne is a “Jersey Girl” through and through. Supported by an encouraging family, wonderful friends and colleagues, and a fierce writing group, she leads a double life—that of a writer and an English teacher to junior high students. When not conjuring up stories from romances to horror and everything in-between or living vicariously through her characters, (they have more exciting lives) you can find her relaxing at the Jersey shore, spending time with friends, or bingeing Netflix. She lives for the day that she’ll be reading and enjoying her students’ novels.

Growing up on a farm in the Midwest gives Nicole a unique perspective into small-town life, the setting of her first series. She studied literature at university, and after graduating lived in the Southwest, the Nevada desert, and on the West Coast. She has traveled to Canada, Israel, and throughout Mexico, and hopes to see more of the world in the future. Recently, she moved back to her rural home where she writes books that capture readers’ hearts. Nicole is passionate about the environment, loves coffee, wine, and everything sweet. Her sidekick is a tiny Yorkie that’s one pound of ornery plus three pounds of cuteness, named Gigi.

A voracious reader her whole life, author Susan Payne loves the written word.  When reading more than fifty books per month wasn’t enough, she decided to allow her mind to take flight and write all the many stories that kept intruding in her life.  She blended her love of history and her love of words to create over eighty stories.  All historical and centering on a couple finding love and a happy ever after together.

Corlet (pronounced Cor-lay) lives in sunny Colorado with her husband, daughter, and dogs. Corlet loves to spend time outdoors, running, and kickboxing. She works as a nurse but finds lots of time for writing in her free time.  Her lifetime goal is to write in as many countries as possible. She got the idea to write Bee's Flowers series when she contemplated the different reasons people purchase flowers. She is currently working on the third full-length installment of the series and can't wait to share it with readers. Corlet has had a lifelong love affair with books and reading, and it has been a dream of hers to work with a publishing company. She also has a to-be-read list that gets longer every year.

After 14 years in Texas, Linda returned home to her roots in the red clay of South Carolina.  She has two wonderful sons: a scientist and an artist—opposite polarities. For many years, she bred, trained and showed the magnificent Andalusian horse. So, she’s seen a lot of this country from the windshield of a truck towing a horse trailer.

She enjoys events with her sports car club, reading, music, anything horsy, symphony, and theater. She adores formal gowns and is always on the lookout for formal occasions (fewer and fewer in our casual world.) She loves, loves, loves the piano, but unfortunately does not play. Shopping on-line is an almost addiction. She retired from a career as a legal assistant to stay busier in retirement. Her job now is her passion: writing.

Writing is Kylie's passion and reading is her true love. If she can’t be found in the ‘real world’ of Special Education teaching, search a cozy nook, a quiet green garden hideaway, or a closet lit by flashlight to find her. If the Zombie Apocalypse rages, she will be holing up at the closest bookstore/cafe. Everything Kylie needs is there: coffee, scones, comfy chairs, and most of all, lots and lots of books.

Kylie is hopeless, helplessly, addicted to coffee, chocolate, and words. She's been known to talk for hours about words, all their neat different meanings, and the ways they make our world brighter. For example, did you know 'cattywampus' and 'collywobbles' are actual words? If the Tardis ever appears, she has plenty of jammy dodgers, tea, and fish fingers & custard to set off on the Greatest Adventure with The Doctor.

"With faith, all things are possible." 

USA Today bestselling author Liz Flaherty started writing in the fourth grade when her Aunt Gladys allowed her to use her portable Royal typewriter. The truth was that her aunt would have let her do anything to get her out of her hair, but the typewriter and the stories it could produce caught on, and Liz never again had a day without a what if… in it.

A long-time newspaper stringer and columnist, she was also an inveterate reader of romantic fiction—one of those who thought I could do that and set about proving she could. Twenty or so books later, she’s happily writing sweet romance with a touch of inspirational. She’s working on the Fallen Soldier series for Magnolia Blossom now, still mumbling what if… and drinking a liberal amount of coffee while she figures it out. 

She and Duane, her husband of at least forever, live in a farmhouse in central Indiana, sharing grown children, spoiled cats, and their grandkids, the Magnificent Seven. (Don’t get her started on them—you’ll be here all day.) To find out more about her, stop by http://lizflaherty.net/ or sign up for her newsletter at http://eepurl.com/df7dhP.
