Who are the Divas? |

After graduating from Stanford University with a degree in English Literature, Jami Alden's writing appeared in many software marketing brochures and corporate web sites. But she quickly realized writing romance was a lot more fun. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her socially well adjusted alpha male husband, her son, and two dogs that patiently listen to dialogue and help her work out plot points. When she's not writing sexy romance, she enjoys running, reading, yoga and a borderline unhealthy love of the Food Network. Visit Jami's website.

Monica McCarty began her love affair with the Scottish Highlands in the most unlikely of places: a comparative legal history course at Stanford Law School. After a short, but enjoyable, stint practicing law, she realized that mixing a legal career with her husband’s transitory career as a professional baseball player was not exactly a match made in heaven. So she “traded” in her legal briefs for dramatic, emotionally-intense Scottish Historical Romances with sexy, alpha heroes. Visit Monica's website.

For a long time, controlled chaos ruled Karin Tabke's life. Busy mother of four, owner of her own successful business and wife to a street cop, she harbored thoughts of twisting plots and hot romantic scenes. Now, with only one child left at home and hubby retired from law enforcement, Karin pounds out those steamy scenes at her keyboard. Still semi distracted by the near daily crisis’ of her children (it doesn’t get easier when they move out, folks), Karin manages to turn out stories about empowered women and the hot cops (and hot Knights) who penetrate their lives. A full time writer, Karin draws on a lifetime of stories and backdrops that few outside of the law enforcement community ever see, let alone hear about. Controlled chaos now reins supreme through the pages she writes where hot heroes serve, protect, and pleasure from page one to The End. Visit Karin's website. |
