Trisha Lyn Fawver is a self-taught photographer, but not a self-taught writer. With a degree in Dramatic Writing from Humboldt State University, Trisha’s plan to take the theatre world by storm with her writing was somewhat derailed by love, marriage, and bills to pay! She has instead followed her visual aesthetics into photography, finding beauty in nature and the unusual. Encouragement from those around her has taken her from a simple Polaroid digital camera to a sophisticated DSLR and the research to learn how to properly use it! With her trusty Nikon, she explores the San Francisco Bay Area and more. Trisha’s photography has been featured in coffee table books, magazines, and across the internet.

Lucy Ann Boutaleb lives with her husband Bob in Kent, England. Lucy was prompted to write this book by the sheer worldwide interest in her story that was reported by the world media, including television, radio and newspapers; but what started pen-to-paper, was when a major International features agency approached her, expressing a keen interest in writing her full story; and also when she discovered that an article, in Annabel magazine, brought tears to some people’s eyes.

- A Time to Love (A Mill Creek Crossing Romance) by Angelina Rose - 2013-04-23 02:42:34-04
Angelina Rose has wanted to write ever since she could hold a pencil. The first daughter of immigrant parents, Angelina constantly had her head buried in books. In 2010, Angelina had a long stint in hospital following her involvement in a motor vehicle accident; the longest time off work (as a Registered Nurse), she'd ever had in her life! It was then she took up pen and paper and started to write again, just as she had done when she was a child. She wrote four short fiction stories for young adults, entered them in several competitions, and managed to win three first prizes! After happily dipping her toes into writing those short fictions stories for young adults, Angelina has now authored four books in a new "Mill Creek Crossing Romance" series … contemporary romance intended for adults. The “Starting Over Series” is another contemporary romance series she wrote about a subject she knows well … nurses and their love life. At a recent reunion of her graduating class, she could not help but notice how the same girls would group together and laugh, chat and even shed some tears over their lives since graduating. Many of the girls had divorced … so Angelina thought "what if a group of the nurses came up with a plan to meet in two years and have a new love story to share?" Then the first story in the series was born! There is always a character running around in her head. A man with thick dark hair, gray-blue eyes, an engaging grin, a quick wit ... or a beautiful girl looking for that special man. She finds herself talking to these characters during her day: when she’s doing dishes, or bathing babies at the hospital. These characters crop up on days at the beach or on walks through the neighborhood. This is how the stories start to grow. Angelina’s mother was an author so Angelina grew up with a love of words and stories. If she wasn’t writing a short story about something that took her fancy, her head was buried in books … reading, reading, reading as her brother constantly told her…
