Laura Tobias Journalist Laura Tobias had a problem – journalists are expected to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.But making stuff up is way more fun. So Laura traded one notebook for another and today she writes romance and women’s fiction. She is also writes as the award-winning Laura Langston.
E. C. Sheedy writes romance, because she believes in the power of love, and romantic suspense, because sometimes a nasty and conniving villain pops into her head and she has to get him out. She lives and writes on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. With the ocean a few steps from her door and Zuke, a 110 pound Rhodesian Ridgeback, sleeping on the sofa in her office, she considers herself one very lucky writer. More about E C Sheedy.
Gail Whitiker suspected early in life that one of her Gemini personalities might be a writer, but the challenge was finding out what kind of stories she wanted to write. She is the award-winning author of seventeen historical novels and two contemporary paranormals. More about Gail Whitiker.
