Annabeth Albert has been hooked on romance ever since Laura gave Almanzo permission to kiss her goodnight. It wasn’t too long after that Annabeth started sneaking romances where a whole lot more than kissing happens. Now, she devours all subgenres of romance out in the open—no flashlights required! When she’s not adding to her keeper shelf, she’s a multi-published Pacific Northwest romance writer in a variety of subgenres. A long-time member of Romance Writers of America, she is also active in the Rainbow Romance Writers chapter.
Emotionally complex, sexy, and funny stories are her favorites both to read and to write. In between searching out dark heroes to redeem, she works a rewarding day job and wrangles two toddlers.
She often tweets about her latest online bargain finds, newest keeper shelf books, and other random tidbits and loves chatting with readers and other writers. @AnnabethAlbert

Genie Gabriel‘s a crazy optimist whose rose-colored glasses have bent frames and cracked lenses. When life kicks her in the teeth, she finds miracles and lessons she refused to learn an easier way.
In fact, she lives with a small herd of miracles in the furry forms of dogs, who are constantly trying to teach her to forgive, to play more, and to love without limits.

Meggan McQuaid, always a voracious fiction reader, was thumpty-bumping along one day, reading a lovely romance novel she had just picked up, when she came across a badly written page. Hmm, she mused. Then, about a chapter later, there was another. Then later, another. Well humph, she thought. I could do better than this. Since Meggan always looked for the kissing and loving in every story she read, she chose to write romance. Since she loved dragons and faeries and magic, she chose to build her own fantasy world. She sat down, full of hubris and chutzpah, and began to write.
Meggan learned quickly that writing a story is not as simple as she thought, and apologizes to that long ago author for thinking her inept. In the meantime, Meggan has created a delightful world of thousand-foot tall sentient trees, wicked-fast eight-legged tigers with round mouths full of serrated teeth, small brown fae that meddle and pry and build little houses with tesseracts inside, and happy, miserable, clever, witless, fearless, terrified people trying to find their one true loves.
