Jodi Lynn Copeland lives with her husband and two children minutes from Michigan’s state capital. She learned early on that family and friends and love and laughter are the most important ingredients in happiness. While attending Central Michigan University, she discovered her love for writing and that those same ingredients blend for the perfect romance. Over the years and across the genres, Jodi has found that one thing remains the same…a dash of heat and humor and a heaping spoonful of love make for the best recipe of all. Jodi’s books have received various awards and commendations, including 4½ Star Top Pick reviews from RT BOOKclub Magazine, Recommended Reads from The Road To Romance and Reviewer’s International Organization (RIO), and nominations for such awards as the National Reader’s Choice Award, the EPPIE Award and the Lauries Bookseller's Best.

Tielle (pronounced "teal") St. Clare has had life-long love of romance novels. She began reading romances in the 7th grade when she discovered Victoria Holt novels and began writing romances at the age of 16 (during Trigonometry, if the truth be told). During her senior year in high school, the class dressed up as what they would be in twenty years-Tielle dressed as a romance writer. When not writing romances, Tielle has worked in public relations and video production for the past 20 years. Tielle moved to Alaska when she was seven years old in 1972 when her father was transferred with the military. Tielle believes romances should be hot and sexy with a great story and fun characters.

When not behind a keyboard, typing out the stories of the characters who dance in her head, Mel can be found behind her camera, snapping landscape or abstract photography, or in the garage up to her ears in car parts and grease. She lives in the midwest with a teenager who makes her crazy and a husband who makes her even more crazy—in a good way! Her favorite crayon is midnight blue. She hates the sound of Styrofoam crunching, but loves her daughter's laughter. She'd rather watch a fantasy movie, like Merlin or Lord of the Rings or even Pirates of the Caribbean, than horror, and she wants to watch it from her favorite corner of the couch. She can talk cars—especially classics—with the guys and has a ridiculously amazing memory for useless music trivia. Her characters are a mix of who she is, who she knows and who she admires. Her motto: Live life, don't just exist.

Anya Bast is the author of numerous works of romantic fiction, mostly all paranormal and mostly all scorching hot. She lives in the country with her husband, daughter, eight cats, a dog, and an odd assortment of rescued animals. She grew up in Minnesota and still favors the colder climates. After high school she moved to the southeast United States where she attended college. While in graduate school she sold her first book and decide to pursue her lifelong dream of writing instead of a career in psychology. Somewhat reclusive by nature, she can be drawn out with a good bottle of red wine, classic movies, or good music. When she’s not writing, she can be found trying to grow organic vegetables, shopping in thrift stores for that perfect piece of clothing, or dreaming about travel to some faraway country. She’s hard at work on a brand new series for Berkley Sensation right now, while winding up her national bestselling Elemental Witches quartet.
