Niki Green knew at the tender age of four, when she created her first tall, dark and handsome hero (in the form of an imaginary husband named James) that the make-believe world was just too hard to ignore. Now, everyday is an adventure for her and the hero's and heroine's she creates. On any given day she can be found relaxing under the hot southern sun with a book in one hand and her laptop in the other. When she is not reading or writing, which is hardly ever, she loves to spend time with her husband (a great sport--even though he does blush quite often) and her darling daughter (whose creativity knows no bounds). When Lorelei James is not squirreled away behind her laptop in the Black Hills of Western South Dakota, she can be found reading, shootin' her .22, watching the Professional Bull Riders tour, and running a kid's taxi service, all in the guise of avoiding housework and rustlin' up vittles. STRONG, SILENT TYPE, selected for the WILD RIDE ANTHOLOGY, is also part of the popular and bestselling Rough Riders series. Growing up in a place nicknamed Sin City and known for over twenty-one focused entertainment, gave Moira Keith's imagination the opportunity to run amuck. As a writer, she envisions many worlds within the one she currently thrives in. Her pastimes are playing Rockband with her sons, daydreaming and living vicariously through her characters. BUCKLING DOWN is her first published title.
