Freya Barker
Writer of mature, ‘no holds barred’ romance with a heavy dose of suspense and a drawer full of heat!
Freya Barker has spent her life being creative. Involved with music and dance at a younger age, followed by designing cakes, quilts and painting, and most recently her cover art, the Dutch-born Canadian mother of two now has found her voice – writing.
Always an avid reader, Freya is a well-respected blogger and has a strong following on her blog, Facebook and Goodreads.
The next step to pen a book of her own seemed natural. Freya is driven to make a story not only romantic (down right sexy) but also believable and high on suspense.

Laura Barnard
Romantic comedies guaranteed to have you peeing your pants and swooning over the men.
My name is Laura Barnard and I am an author from Hertfordshire, UK. I’m the romantic comedy author of The Debt & the Doormat, The Baby & the Bride and Tequila & Tea Bags.
In my spare time I enjoy drinking my body weight in tea, indulging in cupcakes the size of my face, drooling over hunks like Jamie Dornan, Ryan Gosling and Leo Dicaprio…oh and my husband of course :-) I like wearing yoga clothes and reading fitness magazines while I sit on the sofa and eat chocolate. I’m a real fan of the power nap and of course, READING!
I write not to get rich or famous, but because I LOVE writing. Even if one person tells me they enjoyed my book it makes the midnight typing worth it!
Amy Beth
I have 2 books out of my dark erotica series currently released. With book 3 planned for March.
I also have book 1 in my dragon series which released this past Friday. This is a romance story. Amy-Beth is the author of the dark erotica Mistaken Series, Christmas with the Dragon and other soon to be releases. After reading books from her favourite authors she decided to take the bull by the horns and get the story that has been driving her crazy for years out there.
Amy lives with her partner in crime Paul in Wigan, England and has been living there for many years. A blogger at heart she is never too far away from a good book. Even when she is working in her retail job, the kindle isn’t too far behind.
Reading has always been a passion and every opportunity to read is taken, even when she’s on holiday. (Was even reading a ARC on her wedding day). Books whether reading, writing or reviewing have always come first to everything else in her life, unless Vampire Diaries or The Original’s are on the telly.
Amy has a serious love of Reece’s peanut butter cups, KitKat peanut butter, root beer oh and don’t forget the crunchy cheetos. (seriously doesn’t help her weight loss at Slimming World.
Amy’s biggest problem is she NEVER finds herself off Facebook and counts on all her friends to keep her going. Feel free to add or follow her, she will always be around. Her mobile is like an old fashioned landline…always plugged into the mains.

D Breeze
I write romance novels from contemporary to erotic – but there will also be a couple of dark romances released before the signing too.
I’m only twenty-four but some days I feel forty-four! I have two beautiful young children (makes finding the time to write challenging to say the least!) Born and raised in Coventry, England – I like my home comforts. I’m a romantic at heart, love a happy ending and I’ve been known to make up my own endings in my head to other books if I didn’t agree with theirs!
I have always read books, magazines…the back of the shampoo bottle…ANYTHING I could, since I’ve been able to form words! I always wanted to write my own books, scribbling little pieces down when I was younger, anything to get my ideas out. I was at university when I decided I was going to stop wanting to do it, and actually do it. I write romance novels – all kinds – From contemporary & NA/YA to dark & erotic. I have plenty of different works in the pipeline – so I hope you’ll find something to enjoy!
G.G. Carver
Born in the heart of England to two devoted parents he enjoyed a happy, loving childhood. Not long after completing his further education he set off on a worldwide adventure visiting various places around the globe, but it was New Zealand that stole his heart. It was here that he discovered his creative side with amateur dramatics, and he made several brief appearances in national soap operas.
After 5 years he returned to England and discovered his passion for writing. He wrote several unpublished children's books, but had a vision for a book that would take him on an exciting journey.
He also lives with his close companion Carver Jnr his cuddly pup that features in many of his humorous Facebook updates. He enjoys keeping fit, long walks in the fresh air and spending time with close family and friends.
L.A. Casey
L.A. Casey was born, raised and currently resides in Dublin, Ireland. She is a twenty-three year old stay at home mother to an almost two year old German Shepherd named Storm and of course, her five year old - going on thirty - beautiful little hellion/angel depending on the hour of the day.
She is the author of Amazon Bestselling book series, Slater Brothers.
Tillie Cole
Amazon & USA Today Best Selling Author, Tillie Cole, is a Northern girl through and through. She originates from a place called Teesside on that little but awesomely sunny (okay I exaggerate) Isle called Great Britain. She was brought up surrounded by her English rose mother -- a farmer's daughter, her crazy Scottish father, a savagely sarcastic sister and a multitude of rescue animals and horses.
Being a scary blend of Scottish and English, Tillie embraces both cultures; her English heritage through her love of HP sauce and freshly made Yorkshire Puddings, and her Scottish which is mostly demonstrated by her frighteningly foul-mouthed episodes of pure rage and her much loved dirty jokes.
Having been born and raised as a Teesside Smoggie, Tillie, at age nineteen, moved forty miles north to the 'Toon', Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, where she attended Newcastle University and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts honours degree in Religious Studies. She returned two years later to complete a Post-Graduate Certificate in Teaching High School Social Studies. Tillie, regards Newcastle to be a home from home and enjoyed the Newcastle Geordie way of life for seven 'proper mint' and 'lush' years.
One summers day, after finishing reading her thousandth book on her much loved and treasured Kindle, Tillie turned to her husband and declared, "D'you know, I have a great idea for a story. I could write a book." Several months later, after repeating the same tired line at the close of another completed story, she was scolded by her husband to shut up talking about writing a novel and "just bloody do it!" For the first time in eleven years, Tillie actually took his advice (he is still trying to get over the shock) and immediately set off on a crazy journey, delving deep into her fertile imagination.
Tillie, ever since, has written from the heart. She combines her passion for anything camp and glittery with her love of humour and dark brooding men (most often muscled and tattooed – they’re her weakness!). She also has a serious side (believe it or not!) and loves to immerse herself in the complex study of World Religions, History and Cultural Studies and creates fantasy stories that enable her to thread serious issues and topics into her writing -- yep, there's more to this girl than profanity and sparkles!
After six years of teaching high school Social Studies and following her Professional Rugby Player husband around Europe, they have finally given up their nomadic way of life and settled in Calgary, Alberta where Tillie spends most of her days (and many a late night) lost in a writing euphoria or pursuing a dazzling career as a barrel-racing, tasselled-chap wearing, Stetson-sporting cowgirl... Ye-haw!
Bethan Cooper
My novels are filled with love, strength and unwilling desire between two beautiful souls. (And of course, stunning lead males.)
Bethan Cooper spends her days working 8 hours at a well-known restaurant and yawning – a lot.
But her vulnerability behind the uniform is her writing, having been obsessed with writing short stories and song lyrics from her teens, she has finally put pen to paper and started a novel.
She is married to the love of her life, who she met when she was seventeen.
So writing romance is a must for her, especially lots of kissing and people surrounded by love, as it is after all, the best human emotion.

L.A. Cotton
New Adult contemporary full of swoon worthy sighs and heart stopping moments.
Author of NA Contemporary Romance, I love writing about those first looks, first kisses, and happily ever afters.
A wearer-of-many-hats, I juggle being a full-time mum to two little people with two part-time jobs and college. In my spare time (and when I’m not camped out in front of the laptop) you’ll most likely find me immersed in a book, escaping the chaos that is life.
My works include Fate’s Love and Love’s Spark. I also have a new release coming the end of January. Loyalty and Lies will be book one in my NA college series, Chastity Falls, and is full of suspense, tension, and a leading guy that will leave you wanting more!

Amity Cross
Amity Cross isn’t her real name. That’s no secret.
She is the author of wicked stories about rock stars looking for redemption, gritty romances featuring MMA fighters and dark tales of forbidden romance. She loves to write about screwed up relationships and kick ass female leads that don’t take s**t lying down.
Amity lives in a leafy country town in southern Australia and can be found chained to her desk, held at ransom by her characters.
Hot and sexy. From a hot tattooed TV star to very sexy tattooed rockstar triplets.
I live in South Wales, UK with my husband and three children I have loved reading for as long as I can remember but decided a year ago to try writing my own book. With the love and support from my family and friends I published my first book.
I love photography and I am a move buff. Music eses my days, it plays a big part in my life and my families, also my books play a big part in my books.

Ker Dukey
My books all tend to be darker romance, edge of you seat, angst filled reads. My advice to my readers when starting one of my titles...prepare for the unexpected.
I have always had a passion for storytelling, whether it be through lyrics or bed time stories with my sisters growing up. We also used to put on performances by acting out stories. I wanted to become an actress from an early age so I could live out many roles but unfortunately I learned early on that my mind was too active...(I would end up wanting to change the script)
I would watch films or TV shows and think of ways they could have improved the story if they took another direction so I thought it best that I tell my own.
My mum would always have a book in her hand when I was young and passed on her love for reading, inspiring me to venture into writing my own. I tend to have a darker edge to my writing. Not all love stories are made from light; some are created in darkness but are just as powerful and worth telling.
When I'm not lost in the world of characters I love spending time with my family. I'm a mum and that comes first in my life but when I do get down time I love attending music concerts or reading events with my younger sister.

Sarah Elizabeth is the author of the Misjudged Series, Bliss, Upping the Ante, and Love @ First Site. Known to many of her readers as ‘The Cliff-hanger Queen,’ she strives to add mystery to the romance and leave her readers wanting more.

Very much a romantic suspense author, Susan Elle is not afraid to explore adult relationships both in and out of the bedroom.
The murder and mystery aspect is a popular one in The Sara Colson Trilogy and the follow on series, The Catherine Colson-Sayers (CCS) Investigations – a series created due to the many requests from my readers not to let Catherine and Logan’s story end.
Previously working as an Intensive Care Nurse, Susan Elle often uses her knowledge of nursing and medical procedures to enhance her fiction writing.
Having written for many years, it has only been in the last couple of years that Susan has had enough confidence to get her stories published.

Muriel Garcia
Saving Ayden is a dark romance biker book. It focuses on friendship, true love, overcoming a dark past you only wish you could forget and how love can conquer everything and make you stronger. The story shows the main character become a stronger and happier self.
Muriel Garcia grew up in Belgium. She loves music, tattoos, hot tattooed men, travelling, and cooking. She always had an overly imaginative and creative mind but never thought of writing a book up until a couple of months ago. Now she couldn’t imagine not writing stories that are near and dear to her heart.
T Gephart
T Gephart is an indie author from Melbourne, Australia.
T's approach to life has been somewhat unconventional. Rather than going to University, she jumped on a plane to Los Angeles, USA in search of adventure. While this first trip left her somewhat underwhelmed and largely depleted of funds it fueled her appetite for travel and life experience.
With a rather eclectic resume, which reads more like the fiction she writes than an actual employment history, T struggled to find her niche in the world.
While on a subsequent trip the United States in 1999, T met and married her husband. Their whirlwind courtship and interesting impromptu convenience store wedding set the tone for their life together, which is anything but ordinary. They have lived in Louisiana, Guam and Australia and have traveled extensively throughout the US. T has two beautiful young children and one four legged child, Woodley, the wonder dog.
An avid reader, T became increasingly frustrated by the lack of strong female characters in the books she was reading. She wanted to read about a woman she could identify with, someone strong, independent and confident who didn't lack femininity. Out of this need, she decided to pen her first book, A Twist of Fate. T set herself the challenge to write something that was interesting, compelling and yet easy enough to read that was still enjoyable. Pulling from her own past "colorful" experiences and the amazing personalities she has surrounded herself with, she had no shortage of inspiration. With a strong slant on erotic fiction, her core characters are empowered women who don't have to sacrifice their femininity. She enjoyed the process so much that when it was over she couldn't let it go.
T loves to travel, laugh and surround herself with colourful characters. This inevitably spills into her writing and makes for an interesting journey - she is well and truly enjoying the ride!
Based on her life experiences, T has plenty of material for her books and has a wealth of ideas to keep you all enthralled.
Abbi Glines is a #1 New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of the Rosemary Beach, Sea Breeze, Vincent Boys, and Existence series. She has a new YA series coming out in the fall of 2015 titled The Field Party Series . She never cooks unless baking during the Christmas holiday counts. She believes in ghosts and has a habit of asking people if their house is haunted before she goes in it. She drinks afternoon tea because she wants to be British but alas she was born in Alabama. When asked how many books she has written she has to stop and count on her fingers. When she’s not locked away writing, she is reading, shopping (major shoe and purse addiction), sneaking off to the movies alone, and listening to the drama in her teenagers lives while making mental notes on the good stuff to use later. Don’t judge.
You can connect with Abbi online in several different ways. She uses social media to procrastinate.
Callie Hart
Callie has experienced many changes throughout her life, and gone through many ups and downs that have all worked towards shaping and moulding her into the person she is today: fun loving, active, social, and hard working. The only thing that has remained a constant throughout her life is writing. Creating characters who will tear your conscience in two is a favorite pastime of Callie’s. There are few real saints and sinners in her books; more often, the denizens of her stories are all very human. Broken, flawed, and always with the potential for redemption.
Despite the subject matter being markedly hot and heavy in comparison to the stories she wrote in elementary school, there will always be an element of fairytale to her work.
Callie Hart is the author of the Blood & Roses Series. Zeth & Sloane’s story is now complete, but there are a number of stories still to be released under the Blood & Roses banner. 2015 will see Cade, Michael and Rebel’s stories being released, as well as a number of brand new stories, all of which will be Dark Romance novels.
Lesley Jones
I am a born and raised Essex girl now living on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, just outside of Melbourne Australia, I moved here with my husband and three sons in 2006.
Not only do I love to write but I also love to read and can devour a book overnight if the story grabs me.
I love watching my sons play football and am very partial to a glass of wine, a nicely chilled Marlborough Sav Blanc being my favorite.
Jani is a voracious reader and would spend her last dollar on a book - always fascinated that for the mere price of a book, she can escape her world for a while and see through someone else's eyes.
Besides reading, her favorite 'thing' is traveling - she has traveled the world, learning about the ways people live and has come to the realization that no matter where we live, we all ultimately want the same things. Her hobby - Scrapbooking - keeps her up till way after midnight and her usual subjects are her family and her travels.
Ever since she can remember, Jani wanted to write stories about people, about their lives and loves. Relationships and Happiness - arguably the most difficult things to master in life and yet exactly what everyone ultimately desires (in her humble opinion).

She loves to chat with the readers of her books so please visit her or contact her.
I’m the author of The Alphabet Game and my tattooed bad boy will appear in my September release Underneath. My books feature strong characters and my main theme throughout is to twist and turn the story and keep the reader guessing …
Andie M. Long wrote two full length novels before Gabe and Stella entered her mind and so in her usual bonkers fashion decided to self-publish the first novella, having not even written the rest of the series. Something she has smacked herself in the face for since.
Part One of The Alphabet Game went straight to Number One in The UK Amazon Kindle Erotic Short Story chart. She has several published short stories and poems, including an upcoming release for Cracked Eye. Andie has a regular blog at www.wordbohemia.com, ‘The Emergence of the Invisible Writer.’

I write erotic romance novels with an element of ‘real-life’, helping the reader to really become a part of the story. The books are filled with fun, laughs, lascivious sexual chemistry and an abundance of heartstring-tugging romance.

Ava Manello
Passionate reader, blogger, publisher, and author. I love nothing more than helping other Indie authors publish their books be that reviewing, beta reading, formatting or proofreading.
I love erotic suspense that's well written and engages the reader, and I love promoting the heck out of it over on my book blog.
I'm a mother, but most of all I'm me!

WhenElena isn’t writing, she can be found with her nose in a book or watching guilty pleasures such as Gossip Girl, developing a rather unusual liking to Chuck Bass.

T.A. McKay
T.A. McKay
I write love stories, but with a difference. I like to shake things up a bit and not go for the normal. Fun stories with hot guys.
I'm a contemporary romance author who is about to release my second book in the Into The series, called Into The Dark.
I live in Scotland with my husband and three amazing children. I live in a very small village in the country so writing makes it easier to have friends, even if they are in my head.
I have always been a huge reader but it wasn’t until 2013 that I was…lets say encouraged…to write my first book. I published on my birthday in 2014 and have been on a crazy roller coaster ever since.
My favourite things to read about are tattooed alphas…and if they have a dirty mouth its all the better!
I have met so many awesome people on this journey and I never imaged talking to some of my favourite authors, never mind calling some of them my friend.
If you ever go to a signing and there is a Scottish redhead fangirling in the corner….well thats probably me!

Raine Miller
Raine Miller is a New York Times bestselling author who likes to write romantic stories pretty much every chance she gets. She has a handsome husband, and two amazing sons to keep her busy the rest of the time. Her boys know she likes to write stories, but gratefully have never asked to read any. Thank God!
I’ll leave you with a quote from a young man who didn’t live long enough to write more beautiful words for our continued enjoyment, dying tragically at only twenty-five years old. One of the most brilliant romantic poets ever to walk this earth, his words continue to take my breath away. This is from a letter he wrote to his fiance, Fanny Brawne. He died before they could marry.
My name is Kirsty. I was born in Hertfordshire, England. In 2000 I moved to Norfolk, it was there that I met my husband, Lee. Now, what can I say about Lee, apart from everyone should have one? He's my biggest supporter, and I wouldn't be where I am today without his encouragement and endless support. He is my inspiration behind most of my male leads, I always try to bring a little of him in somewhere, be it his kindness, selflessness, or just his ability to make me feel treasured.
In 2005, I was gifted with the birth of my son. He is, and always will be, the best thing I have ever done in my life. As you can probably tell, I'm a very proud mummy.
I have always been interested in writing, but after the birth of my son I accidentally came across an amateur writing site. After a couple of months of just reading on there, I finally plucked up the courage and posted one of my stories. I was shocked and overwhelmed by the support of readers on there and they gave me the confidence to get where I am today.
In April 2012, I self-published my first novel ‘The Boy Who Sneaks in My Bedroom Window’ and I haven't looked back since.
Lastly, if I had to sum myself up in one word, it would probably be ‘daydreamer’ – but unlike most of my school teachers, I don’t necessarily view that as a bad thing. After all, I read somewhere once that books are like waking dreams….
Tracie Podger
Hi, I’m Tracie and currently live in Kent, UK with my husband and a rather obnoxious cat called George. In between being a Padi Scuba Diving Instructor and a full time job, I’ve managed to, so far, write four books. I’ve been so fortunate to have dived some of the wonderful oceans of the world and it’s only under the water, amongst the fish that I feel the most relaxed. I get to also indulge in my other hobby, underwater photography.
Writing was something I was encouraged to do as part of my recovery from depression. At first it was journals until something caught my eye. An experience I had mixed with a bit of fiction became A VIrtual Affair, to be released in 2015. The bug struck and after a series of dreams, Fallen Angel was born.
So far I have written five books in the Fallen Angel series, Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Robert and Evelyn, all of which are Amazon best sellers. To come, we have Travis and Part 4.
My books are hot biker romances, set among the Cycle Devils MC in Florida.
Hi- My name is Clare and though it shocks me I am an author.
I’m English and consider myself a biker, whether you do or not is up to you.
I started to ride bikes in 1980, and have been round bikes and bikers ever since. I also ride and drive horses and craft.

Natasha Preston
My name is Natasha, but most people call me Tash or Tasha. I don't mind either. I was born in England and have lived in small towns and villages out in the countryside ever since.
My husband, Joseph, is the most supportive person in my life. Without his love, help and patience I wouldn't be where I am today. And this website wouldn't exist! I'm a proud mummy to an amazing little boy who is my whole world.
At school I drifted through, achieving average grades. I fell into administration and receptionist jobs, thinking that I couldn't really do anything else.
In 2010 I stumbled into writing completely by accident. I was searching the 'app store' and came across Wattpad, an amateur writing site. For the first few months I just read, but then decided to type some of the ideas I had floating around my head. I'm so glad I did because I absolutely love writing.
Writing gave me an escape, and Wattpad gave me the self-confidence I lacked.
Come get your next scorching read with sexy, inked boys and strong-willed heroines…

Rebecca Sherwin
Rebecca is a coffee drinking, music loving, working single mother and writing insomniac. When she’s not writing, she’s reading and when she’s not reading she’s squeezing her eyes shut and willing sleep to descend.
She writes about serious issues, giving emotional turmoil a twist and adding a little ‘British’ humour and dry wit. Her stories are real and relatable, yet unexpected and unpredictable. Every writer was a reader first and Rebecca owes her passion for creating and telling emotional tales to the stories she has read and the people, places and experiences that have, and continue to, inspire her. Rebecca wants her readers to escape to a world where fairy tales and true love exist, wrapping her stories up with angst, passion and curveballs you won’t see coming.
Her writing aims to bring problems and tragedies people face every day to light, make them relatable and leave her readers thinking long after they’ve read the last page.
Author of The Heart of Stone, Room 103 and Shadows of Sin series, and upcoming The Blue Butterfly series.
I’m a fulltime mum/author. I live in Derbyshire, England with my children and two dogs, who are my world. I’m an avid reader and my tastes range from horror to erotic, but I love to help new authors get into the ‘scene’. I love rock music and tattooed guys, and I have a ‘thing’ for wine and Belgium buns
Contemporary romances with that twist of angst to hit a nerve. Nothing makes a love story worth it than a dramatic journey there.
