Aileen Harkwood is a Readers’ Crown finalist who lives in the Southern Rockies. The Last
Aileen Harkwood grew up haunting used bookstores for old copies of Jane Austen novels and Ian Fleming's James Bond. She dreamed of Mr. Darcy, but secretly wished he lived in modern times and had just a bit of Bond's bad boy thugishness. She's not ashamed to admit to having watched Colin Firth rising up out of the lake at Pemberly more times than is good for her. Always a fan of contemporary romance fiction possessing just a touch of fantasy, novels with a sexy psychic or warlock are her Kryptonite. That and chocolate.
As a writer, she strives to blend these influences together into tightly-wound fantasy romances and paranormal suspense thrillers, where love can surprise her heroines equally well in the middle of a battle for survival, or in the midst of a spell invoked on a quiet country lane.

Previously she worked many thrilling jobs in administration, including one in an insurance claims office (wholly unrelated to the one in 'The Dr Pepper Prophecies'...).
She's written two novels, both in the chick-lit genre, four novellas and a variety of short stories.

Heather Thurmeier is a lover of margaritas and a hater of spiders. Born and raised in the Canadian prairies, she now lives in New York where she’s become an odd Canuck-Yankee hybrid. Heather’s currently writing her next romance, which will probably be filled with sassy heroines, sexy heroes that make your heart pound, laugh out loud moments and always a happily ever after.
"Heather Thurmeier's hunky heroes and feisty heroines will have you laughing out loud, falling in love ... and coming back for more!" ~ Carly Phillips, NY Times Bestselling Author
"Heather Thurmeier writes sweet, funny romances that capture your heart!" --NYT and USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Probst
Elsa Winckler: Inspired by the writing of Jane Austen, Elizabeth Gaskell, Henry James, and the Brontë sisters, Elsa Winckler likes her heroines beautiful, feisty, independent and headstrong.
She married her college boyfriend who, after 40 years, still makes her weak in the knees. They have 3 interesting children, 3 beautiful grandsons and live in the picturesque little seaside village of Betty's Bay, South Africa.
She likes the heroines in her stories to be beautiful, feisty, independent and headstrong. And the heroes must be strong but possess a generous amount of sensitivity. They are of course, also gorgeous! Her stories typically incorporate the family background of the characters to better understand where they come from and who they are when we meet them in the story.
She won the best romance award for an Afrikaans story in 2010 and again in 2014.
Sarah Wynde graduated from Wesleyan University with a degree in English, which she actually managed to put to use by becoming an editor.
