Cindy Dees started flying airplanes while sitting in her dad’s lap at the age of three and got a pilot’s license before she got a driver’s license. At age fifteen, she dropped out of high school and left the horse farm in Michigan where she grew up to attend the University of Michigan. After earning a degree in Russian and East European studies, she joined the U.S. Air Force and became the youngest female pilot in the history of the Air Force. She flew supersonic jets, VIP airlift and the “C-5” Galaxy, the world’s largest airplane. She also worked part-time gathering intelligence. During her military career, she traveled to forty countries on five continents, was detained by the KGB and East German secret police, she got shot at, flew in the first Gulf War, met her husband and amassed a lifetime’s worth of war stories. Her hobbies include professional Middle Eastern dancing, Japanese gardening and medieval reenacting. She started writing on a one-dollar bet with her mother and was thrilled to win that bet with the publication of her first book in 2001.

Best-selling author Jenna Mills grew up surrounded by the evocative plantation ruins, haunting swamps, and timeless legends of south Louisiana. She penned her first official work of fiction at the ripe old age of six, turning to suspense three years later with JACQUIE AND THE SWAMP. Since then her stories have grown in complexity, but her love for adventurous women and dangerous men has remained constant. Jenna is a member of Romance Writers of America, Dallas Area Romance Authors, and North Louisiana Storytellers. Prior to selling her first novel, she won numerous regional and national writing contests, one of which brought her in contact with the editor who purchased her work. When not writing stories brimming with deep emotion, steamy romance and page-turning suspense, Jenna enjoys spending time with her young daughter and her husband, as well as a house full of cats, dogs, and plants. Jenna credits her grandparents, Mr. & Mrs. Cloyd Allison and Mr. & Mrs. Milton Aucoin, for teaching her everything she knows about dreams that come true and love that lasts a lifetime.
