Brooke
Moss
writes complex, character-driven stories
about kismet, reunited
lovers, first love, and the kind of romance
that we should all have
the chance at finding. She prefers her
stories laced with some humor
just for fun, and enough drama to keep her
readers flipping the
pages, and begging for
more!
When
Brooke isn't spinning tales, she spends her
time drawing/cartooning,
reading, watching movies then comparing them
to books, and, of
course, wrangling five kids, mugging on her
hubby she lovingly refers
to as her "nerd", and attempting
to conquer the Mount
Everest of laundry that is the bane of her
existence.

Mark
Love
I
am a Michigan native, who up until recently
lived in the Metro
Detroit area, where crime and corruption
always seem to be at the top
of everyone's news. So there's always the
chance to find something
that can trigger a story idea and enough
interesting characters to
jump start your
imagination.
While
I have worked in many industries and career
paths over the years, one
of my passions has always been writing. I
was even able to parlay
that passion for a while, working as a
freelance reporter for a
couple of newspapers in the Detroit area.
Writing features and hard
news helped me hone my talents. But while
newspaper work was
interesting and paid a few bills, it was a
far cry from the fiction
writing that I enjoy the
most.
I've
always been drawn to mysteries and
thrillers, the kind of stories
that have a fast pace, that keep you moving
and keep you guessing as
to what's going to take place next. Mix
those in with some elements
of crime, perhaps a glimpse of the seedier
side and you've got me. So
it's always been one of my goals to write
stories like
that.

Melissa
Kay Clarke
was born in Tupelo, Mississippi and raised
in Houlka, a small rural
town forty-five minutes southwest down the
famous Natchez Trace. She
found a love of reading very early and
quickly devoured everything
she could. Told repeatedly that she had a
wonderful imagination, she
turned to scribbling her musings and wrote her
first novel while in
college. It was never published and has
since vanished. The death of
a close friend who aspired to become an
author reawakened her own
desire resulting in penning her first book,
Shattered Dreams,
published in 2013.
Melissa
now resides in Meridian, Mississippi with
her supportive family –
husband, Robert and daughter Rebecca, two
cats, and two dogs. When
she isn't writing, she spends way too much
time with her online
friends and feeding her ravenous appetite
for the written word.
