As a self-professed nature lover, and
an avid listener to 1960s folk music, Debby can't help but feel like a
hippie child who wasn't born soon enough to attend Woodstock. She wishes
she could run barefoot all year long, but often does anyway in grass
and on beaches in her hamlet that is the cold and rainy southwest
Washington.
During the football season, Debby cheers on the
Seattle Seahawks along with legions of other devoted fans. She's also
filled with wanderlust and dreams of visiting Denmark, Italy, and
Morocco some day.

At
the age of six, she became a reading machine. Devouring everything she
could possibly get her hands on. In high school she almost failed
English three times because of her detest for writing book reports.

Carol Malone
Award-winning
author Carol Malone has successfully combined her three passions –
romance, sports, and writing in her two highly-rated books, Fight Card
Romance: Ladies Night, and Ladies Night Christmas sequel. She was the
first woman to write a romance for the all-male dominated genre. Carol
invites her readers to scramble into a front row seat for a thrill-ride
of suspense, sports, and romance. If not hammering out new tales,
Carol’s loves reading, sports, and hanging with her author husband on
the coast of California.
Kathy Bosman
Kathy loves reading and writing even more. She
homeschools her three kids, so in between unsuccessfully explaining the
difference between subject and predicate or how to divide fractions, she enters
an imaginary world of troubled and passionate characters whose stories take
over the page. Kathy lives in Kwazulu Natal, South Africa, where the summers
are hot, the winters cool, and bugs thrive. Her first published novel, Wedding
Gown Girl, came out in 2012 with Astraea Press. She belongs to the Romance
Writers of South Africa Group (ROSA) which has been her greatest support and
inspiration the last few years.
Robyn Echols
Robyn Echols has been writing
since she was in junior high school. By choice, she spent most of her evening
hours in her "dungeon", as her mother called her downstairs bedroom,
writing stories, only joining her family in front of the television upstairs
when her favorite programs were playing. She has spent hours learning and
teaching family history topics, and focuses on history from a genealogist's perspective
of seeking out the details of everyday life in the past. Several of her family
history articles have been published in genealogy magazines.
Now Robyn resides with her husband
in California near the “Gateway to Yosemite” and has fun researching and
writing the books that she hopes will interest and entertain her readers. She
writes Young Adult/New Adult and contemporary fiction under Robyn Echols and
adult historical romance under her pen name, Zina Abbott.
When Robyn isn’t busy piecing
together novel plots, she stays busy piecing together quilt blocks.

read with unexpected twists and turns.
