Often referred to as "Space Cowboy" and "Gangsta of Love" while still striving for the moniker of "Maurice," Sean Michael spends his days surfing, smutting, organizing his immense gourd collection and fantasizing about one day retiring on a small secluded island peopled entirely by horseshoe crabs. While collecting vast amounts of vintage gay pulp novels and mood rings, Sean whiles away the hours between dropping the f-bomb and persuing the kama sutra by channeling the long lost spirit of John Wayne and singing along with the soundtrack to "Chicago." A long-time writer of complicated haiku, currently Sean is attempting to learn the advanced arts of plate spinning and soap carving sex toys. Barring any of that? He'll stick with writing his stories, thanks, and rubbing pretty bodies together to see if they spark.

Texan to the bone and an unrepentant Daddy's Girl, BA Tortuga spends her days with her hounds and her beloved wife, texting her grandbabies, and eating Mexican food. When she's not doing that, she's writing. She spends her days off watching rodeo, knitting, and surfing Pinterest in the name of research. Following their own personal joys, BA and Julia heard the call of the high desert and they now live in the New Mexico mountains. BA's personal saviors include her wife, her best friends, and coffee. Lots of coffee. Really good coffee. Having written everything from fist-fighting rednecks to cowboy daddies to werewolves, BA does her damnedest to tell the stories of her heart, which is committed to giving everyone their happily ever after. With books ranging from hard-hitting BDSM, to fiery passions, to the most traditional of love stories, BA refuses to be pigeon-holed by anyone but the voices in her head.

JL Merrow is that rare beast, an English person who refuses to drink tea. She read Natural Sciences at Cambridge, where she learned many things, chief amongst which was that she never wanted to see the inside of a lab ever again. Her one regret is that she never mastered the ability of punting one-handed whilst holding a glass of champagne. She writes across genres, with a preference for contemporary gay romance and the paranormal, and is frequently accused of humour. Her novella Muscling Through was a 2013 EPIC Award finalist, and her novel Slam! won the 2013 Rainbow Award for Best LGBT Romantic Comedy. Her novel Relief Valve is a finalist in the 2015 EPIC Awards. JL Merrow is a member of the UK GLBTQ Fiction Meet organising team.

Martin Delacroix's short fiction appears in over twenty erotic, gay anthologies published by Cleis Press, Noble Romance Publishing, Torquere Press, Starbooks Press and Eternal Press. He has published several novels: "Loving Samuel", "Maui", "Love Quest", "Trick and Treat", "Adrian's Scar", "Jailbords", "Capable of Evil", and "De Narvaez". Martin published a short novel with a BDSM theme titled "Passion Play". And he has published five single-author anthologies: "Boys Who Love Men", "Flawed Boys", "Boys in Heat", "Supernatural Love", and "Becoming Men". Several of Martin's titles went out of print when Noble Romance Publishing (NRP) closed its doors. Martin revised and expanded most of these books, and then re-published them through Amazon's Createspace and Kindle Direct Publishing programs. Thus, when you review Martin's books on Goodreads, you'll see the old NRP versions of certain titles, as well as the re-published versions. Martin lives with his partner, Greg, on a barrier island on Florida's Gulf Coast. Visit his website at http://martindelacroix.com/

Taylor has been reading and writing for as long as she can remember. As a child and a teenager, she spent many weekends holed up in her room with her books. If she didn’t like something about a story, she’d often take it upon herself to write her own version. As an adult, she wrote a bit of fanfiction, but quickly discovered creating her own characters was more fun. She’s lived in the Detroit metropolitan area her entire life. When she’s not reading or writing (or working at the evil day job), she can often be found playing with her bird or her cats, walking, sewing, looking at the night sky, taking pictures of the birds in her backyard, volunteering at a wildlife rehab, or watching baseball or hockey. Taylor is most creative after midnight but unfortunately has a job that usually requires her to be awake by 7:30 a.m. She just knows that the sleep deprivation will catch up to her one of these days.
