Lori Matthews loves books. As an award winning author, she loves nothing more than creating a story that starts with a bang and keeps going with plenty of action, and a side of hot romance. She grew up in Nova Scotia, Canada, in a house filled with books and readers. Some of her fondest memories are of reading in the same room with her mother and sisters, arguing about whose turn it was to make tea. No one wanted to put their book down! She was introduced to different genres because of her parents' habit of leaving books all over the house. Her mother read romance and her father read thrillers. After two degrees, a career as a librarian, a husband, and two kids, she attended a workshop in Tuscany that lit that spark for writing again. She's been pounding the keyboard ever since. Lori writes what she calls romantic thrillers as she's a true product of her upbringing! Lori's work has won or been a finalist more than a dozen times in various contests and she was three-time Kiss of Death Daphne winner for her Callahan Security series. She lives in New Jersey, with her husband, two children, a crazy dog, and a cranky cat. Born and raised on a ranch in Big Sky country, Wyeth Watt has always had a fondness for the outdoors and animal husbandry. The calm and isolation of the Rockies led to his love of books and storytelling. He, his wife, and four children still live on the family ranch and have developed a new breed of rabbit, a cross between Angora and Flemish Rabbit . . . for maximum fluffiness. His kids call them "Anglish." Wyeth loves The Great British Bake Off (especially the seasons with Mary Berry), cooking, and baseball. Sophia Willingham is an audiobook narrator. Her recordings include J. Kenner's Release Me and Claim Me.
