2. Secret Words (Secret Dreams Contemporary Romance 1) by Miranda P. Charles -

   Ever since I was a young teenager, I have loved reading romance novels. My auntie used to send me boxes of her books and I would devour them one after another. Every so often, I would read a mystery or a suspense or a paranormal novel as I love those genres too. But romance is still my favourite. :) For many years, I wrote technical and non-fiction materials for professional use and had only dreamt about writing a novel. Then, one day, after a period of binge-reading sexy romances, I decided to sit in front of my computer and start writing my first fiction book. The result? My debut novel, "Will To Love", the first in the hot and sexy Lifestyle by Design series. After that, I knew that I would love to tell more beautiful love stories through my books. I live in Sydney, Australia with my amazing husband who lovingly cheers me on in my journey as a novelist.

4. The Last Strand -

   Born and brought up in southern-India with flip-flop weather all year round, Van now resides in Duluth, Minnesota, where the local pastime is fighting frostbite. He idolizes his big brother, who currently serves in the U.S. Army, and dedicates his writing to the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces, and their families. It wasn't until this late January that Van gave in to the desire to write his first novel, The Last Strand. The desire mainly grew from the frustration caused by reading an overwhelming amount of predictable plot-lines that certainly don't help the stereotypes about the chicklit genre. He is straight (despite his love for chicklits) and a fun-loving, easy-going night-owl who loves meeting new people, and chatting and laughing it up long into the early-morning hours. When he's not reading (usually a romantic comedy or thriller) or writing, he is either designing cover art, fighting crime, rescuing puppies, or solving world hunger problems...you know, the usual stuff. On the lighter side of life, he loves playing pool, hunting, fishing, truck mudding and bonfires.

8. My Dad is a great man -

   Zehavit Tzarfati lives in Tel Aviv, Israel. She holds a BA in Psychology and Education, and a Masters in Public Policy. Zehavit loves animals and children, and it’s this love that urged her to dedicate her time to writing stories for young children. Her tales are original and all of them feature eye-catching illustrations which aid young readers in understanding the text within each story. Her books are written simplistically, yet not too simplistically as to be deemed childish by slightly older children. Ultimately, Zehavit offers wonderful reading material to parents who enjoy reading to their children and, at the same time, to children who are learning to read for the first time.

12. The Babet & Prosper Collection I by Judith Post -

    Judith Post taught 1st, 2nd, and 4th graders before having children of her own. Her husband often teased her that you can take a teacher out of the classroom, but you can't take the classroom out of the teacher, because she loves kids. She filled her house with them while her girls grew up. When diapers gave way to teenagers, though, and reading to children shifted to writing to entertain herself, she first turned to mysteries. She sold mystery short stories before trying her skills at novels. And once she discovered urban fantasies, mysteries became subplots and magic and myths filled her pages. Her love of cooking occasionally sneaks into her stories, too.
