Addison Westlake made her debut as an author at age 13 by rewriting the "Sweet Valley High" series. Despite copyright violations, she maintains that her rendition of Elisabeth and Jessica Wakefield as preteens in a British orphanage is a classic. Between then and now she went to some fancy schools, swapped out the East Coast for the West Coast, and had oodles of kids. Some of her favorite things in life include coffee, Aretha Franklin's inauguration hat and the sleepwalking scene in "Step Brothers." Addison published her first romantic comedy, "Christmas in Wine Country," in 2012. It won first prize in the single title division of the Romance Writers of America's 2010 Stilletto Contest and spent six weeks on Amazon's best seller list.
