Jennifer August

Jennifer August has always had a love affair with words--just ask her teachers who sent home notes saying, "Jennifer talks too much." These days, she channels her interests in history, romance and erotic entanglements into stories that sizzle. And she still likes to talk, so send her an email and strike up a conversation. Be sure to visit her website at www.jenniferaugust.com.

Juliet Burns

Having had the good luck to be born in Texas, Juliet Burns can’t imagine living anywhere else. She’s blessed to share her life with a supportive husband, three children, and a sweet Golden Retriever. She likes to think her emotional nature — sometimes referred to as moodiness by those closest to her — has found the perfect outlet in writing stories filled with passion and romance. Juliet loves reading romance novels and believes they have the power to change lives with their message of eternal love and hope. Her next release is The Spy's Surrender, in December 2008 for Red Sage's Secrets anthology. And she has two more books released in 2008: a Harlequin Blaze in spring of 2008, and another novella for Red Sage Secrets called The Pirate's Possession in July 2009. For more information and excerpts you can visit her website www.julietburns.com.

Jeanmarie Hamilton

Through my writing I've attended workshops and conventions and met writers who have totally inspired and energized me. I finaled in the American Title II Contest with my western historical romance, Seduction. Recently I finaled in the Haunted Hearts Contest with my paranormal contemporary romance, Moonlight Guard.

I'm a member of Romance Writers of America, the Yellow Rose Romance Writers, Hearts Through History online chapter of RWA, From the Heart Romance Writers, and Future Fantasy and Paranormal. Another group I enjoy, the Wild Writers, is made up of friends who formed a book in a week group a while back and continue to offer support when needed and cheer each other's successes. Please visit me at www.JeanmarieHamilton.com and http://www.Titlewave.blogspot.com where I blog with American Title II finalists.

 

Ashley Kath-Bilsky

The world of make-believe has enchanted Ashley since childhood. Whether that magical place was found within the pages of a book or the flickering images on a movie screen, she wanted to be a part of it. Perhaps that's why she thought becoming an actress to be her destiny. But while a scholarship student at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute in Los Angeles, she was given an opportunity to write. The result - a play entitled "The Treehouse Still Stands" - was later performed at the prestigious Actors Studio-West. From that point on, nothing compared to the process of creating a story and characters that would touch people's hearts. "Although I loved acting," Ashley said, "as a writer, I experienced more creative freedom. Basically, there is no limit to the imagination and that's pretty hard to resist."

Today, as a multi-award winning novelist, Ashley writes Historical Romance. Whether set in Regency England, the Highlands of Scotland, or nineteenth century Texas, her books offer unforgettable characters, compelling, suspenseful plots, and a beautiful love story. The Sense of Honor, her debut novel (and winner of the 2005 Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellent in Mystery & Suspense - Unpublished Division) will be released in Spring 2007 by Highland Press.

Denise Belinda McDonald

Denise Belinda McDonald started her writing career at the tender age of eight. Her stories have changed over the years, but not her love for telling tales. An overactive imagination and a propensity to embellish have kept her books rich with lovable characters and interesting twists. She belongs to several writers groups, a few of which she has served on the boards.

Denise lives in Fort Worth with her husband, four young boys, and two dogs where she juggles her time between writing, carpool, Cub Scouts, sports galore, and a multitude of crafts.

Michelle Miles

The third and final book, Take Me I'm Yours, will be released from Cobblestone Press this year.
