As a writer and editor her work now entails dreaming up romantic proposals, hot dates with alpha males and trips to the past with dashing heroes. When she's not working she can usually be found at her local library or out for a run. You can visit her blog at elliedarkins.com Author Ally Blake loves strong hot coffee, fluffy white clouds, dancing in the car to a song she hasn't heard in ages, and the glide of a soft, dark pencil over really good notepaper. She also adores writing love stories. Having sold over four million copies of her books worldwide she is living the dream. Alongside one handsome husband, their three spectacular children, and too many animal companions to count, Ally lives and writes in the leafy western suburbs of Brisbane, Australia. Rebecca Winters lives in Salt Lake City, Utah. With canyons and high alpine meadows full of wildflowers, she never runs out of places to explore. They, plus her favourite vacation spots in Europe, often end up as backgrounds for her romance novels because writing is her passion, along with her family and church. Rebecca loves to hear from readers. If you wish to e-mail her, please visit her website at: www.cleanromances.net.
