Amie Stuart

Growing up, Amie Stuart wanted to be a lawyer and a psychologist. Obviously, she's seen the error of her ways, though she's never settled down in any profession until she took up writing two years ago. She considers all those other jobs research for the writing gig.

She's the last of a dying breed, a native Texan, and still makes her home there, where cowboys and music (her other two loves) abound.

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Sense of Honor, her debut novel (and winner of the 2005 Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellent in Mystery & Suspense - Unpublished Division) will be released in Spring 2007 by Highland Press.

Nikki Hollaway

Nikki Hollaway began writing when she was ten, but it wouldn't be until high school that she'd read her very first romance novel, Petals on the Wind by Kathleen Woodiwiss. After that, she knew everything she'd been writing had been romance. Nikki prides herself on being a romance writer, but she is also a mom, a wife, a full-time university student, a part-time file clerk, and a studying chef de cuisine. When she isn't refereeing, loving, studying, working, or whipping up good eats, Nikki still somehow manages to write or else the voices in her head start to drive her crazy! Nikki Hollaway's short romance, A Lady in Deed, will be included in the Love, Texas Style anthology and will be available Spring 2008 from The Wild Rose Press.

In the meantime, Nikki is focusing on completing the second historical western in her Lone Rider series and has jotted down a few ideas for a couple of eroticas, a few contemporaries, and even one young adult. Visit her website at www.nikkihollaway.com to learn more about the many stories of Nikki.
