From the day I received my first diary in the second grade, I've been in love with the written word and the power it has to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Though for a time (about 25 years) I dabbled in nonfiction, my heart has found a home in fiction. My first novella, "Buried Deception," can be found in the newly released "Keep Me in Suspense" Collection. My second mystery, Digging Up Death, is available now. When I'm not writing or teaching, I love to encourage others (including my four children) to chase after their own passions. I love connecting with readers and hope you will take the time to send me an email or connect with me on twitter @GinaConroy or Facebook Author Gina Conroy!

Alexa Verde writes feel-good small-town romances with a smile. She'd love it if you subscribed to her newsletter https://dl.bookfunnel.com/gitieu15ex. Every subscriber gets a free Christian romance after confirming the subscription as a thank-you gift. She penned her first literary "masterpiece" (a rhymed poem) at the ripe age of eight, and since has had over forty books and 200 short stories, articles, and poems published in the five languages that she speaks. Over 60 million pages of her books have been read worldwide. She has bachelor's degrees in English and Spanish, a master's in Russian, and enjoys writing about characters from diverse cultures. She's worn the hats of reporter, teacher, translator, assistant, model (even one day counts!), and caretaker, but thinks that the writer's hat suits her the best. She hopes and prays that her stories will bring joy to her readers. Heartfelt thanks for your interest in her books!

P. Creeden is the sweet romance and mystery pen name for USA Today Bestselling Author Pauline Creeden. Her stories feature down-to-earth characters who often feel like they are undeserving of love for one reason or another and are surprised when love finds them. P. Creeden married her college sweetheart, who she also met at a horse farm. Together they raise a menagerie of animals and their one son, an avid reader, himself. Animals are the supporting characters of many of her stories, because they occupy her daily life on the farm, too. From dogs, cats, and goldfish to horses, chickens, and geckos—she believes life around pets is so much better, even if they are fictional.
