While she still lives there and loves it, MJ has the heart of a wanderer. So she puts all her dreams of far off places and extraordinary people in her books. Except for every once in a while when she does what all travelers have to do on occasion… come home.

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.

I have been a voracious reader all my life, mostly in mystery, romance, and science fiction/fantasy, though a college degree in English did push a lot of literary works into my list of favorites. I began writing seriously in high school after an inspiring assignment with A Separate Peace by John Knowles. But it took getting an MFA in creative writing to kick-start my career. Since then I've written dozens of books, won a couple of treasured awards, and enjoyed the support of readers. I hope you'll visit my website, where you can sign up for my occasional newsletter, and also follow my author page on Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/neil.plakcy. I love writing cozy mysteries as well as gay mysteries, M/M romance and gay erotica. My golden retriever mysteries were inspired by my own goldens, Samwise, Brody and Griffin, who continually give me ideas for new books.

Professionally, I write articles for various accounts around the world. Recreationally, I write sexy gay YA and M/M romance stories, some with a degree of mystery/suspense or murder/suspense themes. Over recent years I've counselled and assisted a large number of gay youths in Australia and some overseas. My contribution to the M/M Romance Group's video in support of the 'It Gets Better' project provides some detail, commencing at the 7 mins 55 secs mark here: http://www.goodreads.com/videos/15564...

Pender Mackie lives in Canada though she spent her childhood years in England. An imaginative child, Pender wasn't a willing student. Her father—deciding some incentive was needed—promised her a pony as soon as she could read. Properly motivated, Pender picked up a book and discovered the joys of fiction. Though her infatuation with ponies didn’t last, she still loves a good story. A technical writer for almost twenty years, Pender spends her daily commute making up characters, romantic plots, and daydreaming. Pender has several short stories published and two free reads available for download. When she's not doing endless laundry, she's busy coaxing another story into shape.

Kim is a thirty-three year old bisexual submissive from Wales (UK). First published in 2008, she has since released almost 100 BDSM erotic romance titles ranging from short stories to full length novels. Having worked with a host of fantastic e-publishers, she has just moved into self publishing. While she has occasionally ventured towards other pairings, Kim's first love is still, and probably always will be, Male/Male stories. But, no matter what the pairing, from paranormal to contemporary, and from the sweet to the intense, everything she writes will always feature three things - Kink, Love and a Happy Ending.

In the grand tapestry of storytelling, every writer seeks a unique thread that will resonate, captivate, and leave an indelible mark. Yet, the path to weaving a story that stands out in an ever-crowded library is intricate and often fraught with challenges. This is where my expertise as a book coach comes in. Here's why I'm devoted to coaching storytellers like you: Navigating the Narrative: We are surrounded by tales, myths, and fables. Yet, even the most skilled writer can get lost in this maze. My role is to be the compass, guiding you back on track, ensuring your story is both authentic and compelling. Elevating Hidden Gems: The literary world is brimming with tales. While some narratives shimmer on the surface, many more precious gems lie undiscovered, often overshadowed by the commercial tango of book-selling. I aim to help you uncover these hidden stories, ensuring they shine brilliantly in their rightful spotlight. Fortifying Fate with Strategy: While the whims of luck and serendipity play their part, I believe in proactively championing books, crafting strategies to bridge the space between manuscript and eager reader. With a storied career spanning 26 years across theatre, broadcast media, and coaching, I possess an intrinsic sense of narrative alchemy, understanding the delicate balance and rhythm that makes a story truly unforgettable. My academic journey awarded me an MA (Distinction) in Professional Writing, and my literary voyage saw my debut novel, Body of Water, being recognised among the top ten contenders for the Polari First Book Prize. Further, my recent masterpiece, Behind the Seams, darted its way to the 2021 BookLife Fiction Prize Contest semifinals. Endorsed as an Author Accelerator Certified Book Coach, I am here not just to guide, but to champion, challenge, and celebrate every word, paragraph, and chapter you craft. Let's embark on this literary adventure together.

I live in Leigh on Sea, a small seaside town just outside London on the coast of Essex, about ten minutes from Southend, which boasts the longest pier in the world. I live with my husband and two ever-growing children, who I let think are the boss of me; along with two dogs who actually are. As the wonderful Beatrix Potter said, “There is something delicious about writing the first words of a new story. You never quite know where they’ll take you.” I know exactly what she means.

Jade was born in 2010 after a prolonged pregnancy and labour of over thirty-four years! Yes, she is a pseudonym. A work of my fevered imagination, which never seems to grow tired of inventing new characters. And this one's a whopper. One that seems to have taken over my life to the point I'm no longer sure where she ends and I begin! Still, it seems to be working for us. I’ve decided she’s about twenty-four. Enjoys long walks in the country, because she doesn’t have five kids and a husband to care for. Eats as much chocolate as she wants, because she never has to worry about putting on weight (must be all those long walks!). And can often be found planning her next whirl wind world tour or endlessly typing away (without any interruptions) on another hot and steamy erotic romance. It might be space pirates; it might be shifters or a lonely vampire with a thing for the girl next door, one thing’s for sure, she loves variety and can’t wait to meet the next characters destined to fall in love.

Zach, an army brat, was born in El Paso, TX, and has lived in North Carolina, Germany, Kansas, California, and the District of Columbia, before graduating from University of Baltimore in May 2010, with a degree in Applied Information Technology.

Zach writes as often as he can and likes to push himself with writing challenges. Joining the M/M Romance group on Goodreads.com has immensely boosted his motivation to become a successful Deaf author, writing about man to man love, with some horror thrown in for good measure. When he is not writing or reading, Zach likes to practice his web design and development skills. He loves to hang out with love of his life as often as he can, finding things to do inside and outside the house, whether it be yard work, hiking, bike riding, walking their dog, eating out at a cozy diner, or just loving.

Jaime Samms is a plaid-hearted Canadian who spends the too-long winters writing stories about love between men and the too-short summers digging in the garden. There are dust bunnies in the corners of her house—which she blames on a husky named Kai. There are dishes on the counter—which is clearly because teenagers! There is hot coffee in the pot and the occasional meal to keep her from starving—because her husband is remarkable and patient. A multi-published author whose work has been translated into French, Italian, and German, Jaime delights in the intricate dance of words that leads her through tales of the lost and broken hearted men she writes about to the love stories that find and mend them. And when the muse is being stubborn, she also makes pretty things with yarn and fabric scraps because in her world, no heart is too broken to love, and nothing is too worn or tired it can’t be upcycled into something beautiful. All it takes is determination and the ability to see life a little bit left of center.
