L.S. Ram
L.S. Ram
Author · 1 books
L.S. Ram is a born and raised Californian that spends most of life struggling to meld her Indian upbringing with her American ideals. As an INFP, her thoughts are mostly anxiety about the future or ruminations of the past—leaving the present to be the helpless victim to her absentee brain. She is often found not writing and instead procrastinating on every responsibility and deadline there is. In her free time, she devours books, binges asian tv, or annoys her friends and family endlessly. Her affections are easily bought with food and compassion. But, of course, not necessarily together.

I live in Melbourne, Australia, with my partner of over 20 years, two teenage sons, and our Irish Wolfhound, Sarge. There's always something going on around here, and the dog is usually at the centre of the mischief. He's a bit of a sock thief, but only the oldest child's or dad's, and they're usually found on my bed! In my early 20's, (prior to kids, and my partner, obviously) I sang in a couple of local bands on the weekends. Now I only sing for my own amusement, and pleasure. The bonus is, now I get to use my singing to annoy my children! I've also been baking, and decorating cakes since my late teens, and I've made a lot of different styles of cakes. Everything from wedding cakes, to kids birthday cakes. I even made a cookie cake one year for my youngest son, it looked like something the dog left behind, but the kids loved it! I love creating new, and exciting designs for my family, and close friends, it feeds my soul, and my need to be creative, as well as my sweet tooth! Writing is something I've always wanted to do. English was one of my favourite classes, because I could write essays. The only problem was, I couldn't keep to words limits, and I still can't! Mind you, my word limits are my own these days, but I still always go over what I have planned. Apparently, I can't shut up! Being an author as been a dream for as long as I can remember. Self-publishing has made that dream a reality. My path to becoming a published author came about by pure accident. After reading romance novels since I was in my early teens, (way too early to be reading the bodice rippers that I was!) I wrote a small piece, and asked a close friend to read it. I knew she read what I did, and would tell me if it was good ... or not! She told the rest of our circle of friends, they read it, and wanted more, and well, one thing led to another which led to my first novel being published. That small piece, is now a very edited, and added to last chapter of 'Sneaky', the first book in my Sneaky Love Series.

Katie Frey
Katie Frey
Author · 5 books

Katie Frey has spent the better part of her adult life in pursuit of her own happily ever after. Said pursuit involved international travel, several false starts and a few red herrings before she moved from Canada to Switzerland. Once in the land of cheese and wine, she was quickly enchanted by both the mountains and the mountain men—one of the latter in particular! She now lives in a small hamlet on the outskirts of Lausanne, where she mostly enjoys getting lost in the woods – but never so far as to not be found by her two little gremlin daughters, and free-range chickens. Grateful that her romantic misadventures gave her lots of fodder for her writing, she often disappears to write in local coffee shops. Any excuse to stay near the fresh croissants! Nearly Wed is her first work of commercially available fiction. Merci and Bon Appetit!

Niki Brazen
Niki Brazen
Author · 5 books

Most books only have one climax, unless you are reading a Niki Brazen story. For real, when you read one of my novellas, you can expect multi-orgasmic scenes that will *fingers crossed* make you smile a couple of times and cause you to want to try some new things in the bedroom with your significant other. I hope for you, a raucous good time, while reading insta-love, OTT, stories full of quirky characters, places, and plots. I adore supernatural elements so don’t be surprised by the ghosts, vampires, and shifters, oh my!
