Alexis Alvarez writes romances - some are light-hearted contemporary romances; others delve into the exotic world of domination and submission. Her female heroines are strong-willed women who are never push-overs, and who can hold their own in society and the workplace, but who are intrigued with the idea of kink and submission in the bedroom. Alexis writes with skill and poetry, creating worlds that are both dark and erotic and, at times, humorous and light. Alexis is a writer, photographer, gourmet cook, former engineer, and mom. She likes other things besides BDSM fiction, and some of them include snorkeling, lemon bars, thunderstorms, and laughing so hard with her sisters and brother that her stomach hurts. You can find Alexis at the website she shares with her two real-life sisters, who are also romance writers: www.graffitifiction.com https://www.facebook.com/Alexis-Alvar... Thanks!

I’m an Arizona girl, married to my high school sweetheart and mama to three grown sons. I write contemporary romance with heroes who make you swoon, yet might live right next door. I’m a true romance junkie and a lifetime avid reader who spent far too much time shushing the voices in my head—until the day I sat at my keyboard to see what all those voices had to say. I’m a big fan of coffee and easy to cook meals, and country music songwriters, who I think are some of the best storytellers ever. I love chatting with other readers, sharing my favorite books and authors, and discovering those new to me. Go by and hang out with me on any of my social media! xoxo Website: www.ruthiehenrick.com Newsletter signup: http://eepurl.com/cjtuIH Instagram: https://instagram.com/ruthiehenrick Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/ruthiehenrick Facebook: http://bit.ly/RuthieHenrick Twitter: https://twitter.com/RuthieHenrick Goodreads: http://bit.ly/1fah8dG Amazon Author Page: http://amzn.to/XHh0Oo BookBub:https: //www.bookbub.com/authors/ruthie-henrick

When I was little, my mom was part of the Double Day book club. She had piles and piles of books lying around the house; most of them with Fabio-esque men and a scantily clad woman set in a different century. I made up stories in my head just from looking at the covers. When I as 9, I wrote stories using my best friend as a muse. They were romances...but for the 9-year-old. She was the only one who read them. When I was 14, another friend gave me a Marian Keyes novel. I fell in-love with her wit, and humor with a dark side. This was my first experience with realistic fiction. When I was 19, Nicholas Sparks forever changed my views on relationships. I learned what true love could be beautiful and difficult at the same time. I wanted it. When I was 22, Jeannette Wells made me feel more emotion from an autobiographical novel than I thought possible. I wanted to be her. When I was 30, Jamie McGuire and Colleen Hoover introduced me to the world of self-publishing. For the first time I thought: I could give this a try someday. When I was 32, my someday came. ———————————————————— Jeannine Colette is the author of the Abandon Collection – a series of stand-alone novels featuring dynamic heroines who have to abandon their reality in order to discover themselves . . . and love along the way.
