Sharyn spent years travelling Australia with her family. Her father was never sure how much of it she saw though, as she always had her nose in a book. Her friends will vouch she's kept her reading habits up. Her career has had many chapters. A photographer, a receptionist, a payroll officer, and a newspaper journalist, to name a few. She now hopes to focus on her own writing. She much prefers chocolate over wine, and could spend hours browsing op shops, libraries and bookstores. After many years living in Queensland, Sharyn now lives in Melbourne with her husband.

I was born in England. My parents loved to travel as my dad spent many years in the navy. By the time I reached the age of 12 we had traveled pretty much around the world on cruise ships. This sounds fun and exciting unless like me you can get sea sick sitting in a bathtub. Lets just say boats do not feature highly in my books. I still love to travel, but I use planes. All of my life I have written stories in my head. I would rewrite and add characters to TV shows, edit and change novels I was reading, invent scenarios and scenes to amuse myself on long journeys. But strangely I never wrote any of them down. About three years ago I woke up with a scene so clear in my head I knew I had to put it down on paper. Now, what should I do with this one page of prose? I know, I will email it to some friends. The friends approved, in fact they asked what book it was from. I shyly admitted it was my own work and the reaction was immediate...please write the next bit! I did and I have not stopped writing since.

Ever since she could string sentences together, Lisa has been writing. As a child, it started off with princesses in castles being rescued by Prince Charming. As a teenager she moved on to angsty teens struggling through life with raging hormones. Now, as a semi-mature adult, she writes sweet contemporary romances about real people going through real struggles who want their HEA. In 2020, she entered Romance Writers of Australia Sweet Treats short story contest. Her short story, The Cupcake Catastrophe, was published in the Sweet Treats anthology. She also had her first novel, Abandoned Hearts, published. In 2019, she entered Romance Writers of Australia Little Gems short story contest where she came joint first place with two other authors. Her short story, Clarity, was published in the Little Gems anthology. She came second place in RWAus' Emerald contest. This is the same story that is now published. When she’s not writing, she works full time as a Software Tester. She reads anything she can sink her teeth into, and occasionally binges on the latest Netflix series. She loves lazy days at the beach reading or writing, but rarely swimming, and loves spending time with her husband and her friends.

Davina Stone writes romances about flawed but lovable characters who tend to get it horribly wrong before they finally get it right. They also kiss a fair bit on the way to happily ever after. She counts herself as an Anglo-Aussie, having lived exactly half her life in both countries. When not writing she spends her time chasing kangaroos off her veggie patch, dodging snakes and staring down the odd crocodile. But despite her wild adventures, in her heart she still believes that a nice cup of tea will fix most problems and that true love conquers all. Davina has been published in five Romance Writers of Australia short story anthologies. Her first novel, The Alice Equation, the first in the Laws of Love series is published in January 2021.
