Connie Dave

Connie Davé resides in a small Midwestern town, where she has lived all her life.
Growing up she was a tomboy who had a love for all animals, the outdoors and riding horses. In her early twenties, her mother introduced her to romance novels and from then on she became a voracious reader and lover of all things romance.
For many years she had a secret desire to write her own romance book but never pursued it. After getting married to her own real-life hero she continued to read as she raised their two young daughters.
Once her kids were older, thoughts of writing her own novel made an appearance again. With the support of her husband, daughters, family, and friends she wrote her first book, Finding Faith.
Completing the first novel felt like an awesome achievement but it also opened her mind to more sensual, small town, happily ever after stories she wants to share.
Shannyn Leah

USA Today Bestselling romance author Shannyn Leah loves olives, lip gloss and reading (and writing) romance novels.
Her love of words started at an early age and soon grew until, during her teenage years, she’d started writing her own novels. When her mom pushed to finally publish some of the stories, she quickly amassed two complete romance series.
In 2018, she joined romance author Kelly Moore and together, they co-wrote the first season of The CRD series.
When she’s not writing contemporary romance books into the early hours of the morning, Shannyn can be found antiquing with her two favorite people, her momma and sister, in their picturesque London, Ontario hometown.
Shannyn would love to get to know her readers as you get to know her (just don’t send her any carrots!)
Nikki Lynn Barrett

No matter where she goes, USA Today Bestselling author Nikki Lynn Barrett hears voices in her head.
Instead of calling her crazy and locking her up, her family realizes it’s just a product of being an author and allows her to write the stories so that the voices shut up.
But they don’t. And probably never will. There’s no need to lock her up, Nikki knows she’ll never escape the voices, not until each and every last story is written. And for every story she writes, about ten or more ideas pop up.
When she isn’t slaving away at her computer writing books that will probably make you cry and keep you in suspense, Nikki plots to take over the world one book at a time. What? It’s a sickness. One she can’t escape!
Books aren’t her only addiction, though. Nikki can be found making up parodies to drive her son crazy, and bantering back and forth with her husband, who somehow manages to steal her away from the fictional world she lives in all the time.
Nikki lives in Arizona with her husband and son, where she can be found using every creativity outlet she can find through music, photography, handcrafted things, and random interests that she may pick up from time to time.
Brea Viragh

USA TODAY Bestselling author Brea Viragh
Well hey there! I’m Brea Viragh and I write all kinds of steamy romance. As if you couldn’t guess already haha I live in Virginia, land of the Blue Ridge Mountains and surrounded by plenty of nature. I’ve got a dog and three cats to keep me busy. They like to think they are human and most of the time they run circles around me.
It is my personal opinion that there is nothing better than a rainy day spent curled on the couch with a good book and a cup of coffee. And perhaps a cat or two on my lap.
I love all things magic. It’s true. I’d definitely be a Gryffindor, I love The Magicians by Lev Grossman (plus, Hale Appleman? On the tv show? Yum). All witchy and wonderful things are my jam.
How did I start writing?
I used to think I wanted to go into marine biology. I did the legwork, went to school, and came out with papers in hand proclaiming my knowledge. Now I realize that I just want to be creative, do what I love, and maybe write a good story that people will enjoy. In third grade, our teacher handed out a creative writing assignment meant to be a few pages long. Mine was 13 pages. Eventually I just started publishing on Amazon!
What do I do?
I write a range of genres from Contemporary small town to Paranormal Romance, Paranormal Fantasy, and Urban Fantasy, with several series and a few co-written books under my belt. My latest adventure with co-writing has resulted in a brand new pen name and a completely different Rom-Com direction. Go figure!
I don’t shy away from emotional scenes or dark/realistic situations, but my heroines will always get their happily ever after and learn a few things on the way. Want to know more? If you want to get a deep look into me and my work, I’m always around on my Facebook Group. There are updates on new books, giveaways, etc. You are free to ask me anything you like!

A lover of all things decadent; wine, cheese, chocolate and spicy erotic romance, Whitley brings the humorous side of sex, the ridiculous side of relationships and the suspense of everyday life into her stories. With single dads, firefighters, Navy SEALs, mommy wars, body issues, threesomes, bondage and role-playing, Whitley’s books have all the funny and fabulously filthy words you could hope for.

Born and raised mainly in California, USA, Chloe Quinn’s love for writing was sparked at a young age.
Her passion for writing began to blossom during bedtime storytime. She loved how someone took the time to write the dramatic tales filled with brave heroes and strong heroines. She also loved how it sparked her
imagination.
She noticed that how reading these stories strengthened her bonds with her family. So, as she grew up, she started to create stories to bring the same type of love for the written word to others. Over the years, she has written several short stories, children’s books, and young adult coming-of-age stories. However, Chloe has always had a love for romance. Her dream was realized with the release of her novel Lost…Found.

She has also been on several trips where she aided in building structures for children and their families to have access to things like education, medical attention, food, and clean water, among other things.

Though she has traveled to many places, Chloe still looks forward to all of the magical places the world still has for her to discover.
