Lynn LaFleur

was born and raised in a small town in Texas close to the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Writing has been in her blood ever since she was eight years old and wrote her first "story" for an English assignment.

Lynn can't imagine ever writing anything except romances. "I enjoy writing about two people falling in love. If you like the story I tell enough to smile in places, shed a tear at times, or get a warm and fuzzy feeling, that is my greatest reward."

After living on the West Coast for 21 years, Lynn is back in Texas, 17 miles from her hometown.

Randi Monroe

was part of that rare species--a native Californian. Born and raised in Southern California, she made sure she never strayed far from the ocean, which she considered essential to balance the fire in her Aries soul.

A romantic down to her toes, Randi wrote her first romance at twelve, a short story based solely on her imagination since she wasn't allowed to date until she was sixteen. As a Sweet Sixteen gift, Randi's aunt treated her to her first Tarot reading. From the turn of the first card, she knew the metaphysical would always be a part of her life and her stories.

When not writing, she loved painting and sculpting, jogging on the beach with her Great Dane, Shazam, and living with her own Prince Charming.

Randi lost her battle with cancer, but she will never be forgotten by all the people she touched and who loved her.
