As a compliment to the novel series, she has also written several short stories, including the Vampire Morsels collection, and an Amaranthine Encyclopedia. In what little time is left she watches anime and updates her blogs, all from a crooked Victorian house in Villisca, Iowa.

Ms. Peck (aka AK Stein) began life as an infant. Infant what has not yet been determined. Reason being, her interests have always been in the realm of the weird. According to her family, that is. With her head always in the clouds, the possibility has been touched upon that she might not be of this world. The Roswell, NM, spaceship incident, occurring around the allotted number of months prior to her birth, has added fuel to this hypothesis. Especially according to her siblings. It seemed the only way they could explain her. And much to her disconcert, her siblings gleefully give everyone, strangers included, this explanation. Regardless, Ms. Peck has disregarded all social conventions and is still residing in Indiana. Alone. Unmarried. Without children. Pondering. Seeking. . .Perhaps her siblings had better watch out.
B.G. Hope writes contemporary romance including M/M romance. It's another pen name for Barbara G.Tarn. She lives in Rome, Italy, and hates it.
Barbara G.Tarn had an intense life in the Middle Ages that stuck to her through the centuries. She prefers swords to guns, long gowns to mini-skirts, and even though she buried the warrior woman, she deplores the death of knights in shining chainmail. She likes to think her condo apartment is a medieval castle, unfortunately lacking a dungeon to throw noisy neighbors and naughty colleagues in. Also known as the Lady with the Unicorns, these days she prefers to add a touch of fantasy to all her stories, past and present – when she’s not wandering on her fantasy world of Silvery Earth or in her Star Minds futuristic universe. She’s a writer, sometimes artist, mostly a world-creator and story-teller. Two of her stories received an Honorable Mention at the Writers of the Future contest. She writes, draws, ignores her day job and blogs every other day.
Bonnie Mutchler has written hundreds of poems since her childhood, several of which have been published in anthologies. She lives in Missouri with her one eyed cat Blinky and her chihuahua Mo.
Writing is probably one of my favorite things to do. And not as a hobby. As fufillment. I think if I didn't discover writing, I'd be a very bitter, uber depressed, crabtastic butthead. It's just my calling. Being a writer, not a butthead.
I write fantasy/romance stories and new age/spiritual/fantasy/romance poetry. I'm also addicted to reading and am an obsessive crafter. I dance in the clouds where my stories take shape and then I weave them into imaginative and loving tales. Dream above the clouds and believe in yourself. I do and I believe in you.
A geek to the core, I reside in the midst of an Iowa cornfield with my husband and four children. When I'm not chasing the kids every which way but loose, you can find me penning fantastical tales of great heroism and twue wuv...and possibly procrastinating online.
