Author Information

Bio of Chantelle Shaw

Chantelle Shaw grew up in London and enjoyed a blissfully happy childhood making up stories in her head. She worked as a secretary and PA, and at twenty married the wonderful man she had fallen in love when they were both teenagers. With the birth of her first child the family moved to the Kent coast and Chantelle became a stay-at-home mum to her ever-growing family that now includes six children, a dog and various other pets. Always an avid reader, Chantelle discovered Mills & Boon romances as a teenager, and during the "nocturnal years" when her children refused to sleep she would pace the floor with a baby in one hand and a book in the other! In her tiny amount of free time she began scribbling stories of her own, and although Mills & Boon rejected these, she received encouragement and advice from the editors to try again. However, the demands of trying to juggle family, home and a variety of part-time jobs (including night-work she had given up on sleeping by then!) meant that it was easier to write books in her head rather than put pen to paper. It wasn't until twenty years after her first attempts at writing, when she was struggling to cope with the death of her adored mum, that Chantelle was inspired to try again. She found that retreating into the fantasy world inside her head was the only way to deal with her sadness, and she wanted to honor her mum who had always believed she would one day become a published writer. To this day Chantelle enjoys romantic fiction because it offers an escape into a fantasy world of glamour, excitement and, of course, gorgeous men! She hopes that the books she writes give readers the same sense of enjoyment and relaxation. She likes to create strong, sexy heroes and even stronger-willed, independent heroines who ultimately find the love and happiness she has been lucky enough to have in her life. Writing takes up most of her spare time, but she also enjoys gardening and walking. Unfortunately, she doesn't find housework and cooking so pleasurable!

Bio of Miranda Lee

Miranda Lee was born at Port Macquarie, a seaside town of New South Wales, Australia. After leaving her convent school, which she attended from age 11 to 17, Lee briefly studied the cello before moving to Sydney, where she became interested in computers. Lee then attempted greyhound training, as well as horse and goat breeding, but still hadn't found her niche. Her sister suggested writing romances, so Lee decided to try it out. It took a decade of trial and error before her first romance, After the Affair, was accepted and published. Lee began writing in 1981 and sent out her first manuscript in 1982. After the Affair was accepted for publication in 1988 and published in 1990. That same year her second book, An Obsessive Desire was published. Lee is the author of over fifty novels for Harlequin Mills & Boon.

Bio of Sandra Marton

Sandra Marton wrote her first novel while she was still in elementary school. Her doting parents told her she'd be a writer someday and Sandra believed them. In high school and college, she wrote dark poetry nobody but her boyfriend understood, though looking back, she suspects he was just being kind. As a wife and mother, she wrote murky short stories in what little spare time she could manage, but not even her boyfriend-turned-husband could pretend to understand those. Sandra tried her hand at other things, among them teaching and serving on the Board of Education in her hometown, but the dream of becoming a writer was always in her heart. At last, Sandra realized she wanted to write books about what all women hope to find: love with that one special man, love that's rich with fire and passion, love that lasts forever. She wrote a novel, her very first, and sold it to the Harlequin Presents line. Since then, she's written more than sixty books, all of them featuring the sexy, gorgeous, larger-than-life heroes that have helped make Sandra one of the Presents line's bestselling authors. A four-time RITA Award finalist, she's also received six Romantic Times magazine awards for Best Harlequin Presents of the Year and has been honored with Romantic Times Career Achievement Award for Series Romance. Sandra lives with her very own sexy, gorgeous, larger-than-life hero in a sun-filled house on a quiet country lane in the northeastern United States.

Bio of Kim Lawrence

Though lacking much authentic Welsh blood, Kim Lawrence comes from English/Irish stock. She was born and brought up in North Wales. She returned there when she married, and her sons were both born on Anglesey, an island off the coast. Though not isolated, Anglesey is a little off the beaten track, but lively Dublin, which Kim loves, is only a short ferry ride away. Today they live on the farm her husband was brought up on. Welsh is the first language of many people in this area and Kim's husband and sons are all bilingual -- she is having a lot of fun, not to mention a few headaches, trying to learn the language! With small children, the unsocial hours of nursing didn't look attractive so encouraged by a husband who thinks she can do anything she sets her mind to, Kim tried her hand at writing. Always a keen Harlequin Mills & Boon reader, it seemed natural for her to write a romance novel -- now she can't imagine doing anything else. She is a keen gardener and cook and enjoys running -- often on the beach, as living on an island the sea is never very far away. She is usually accompanied by her Jack Russell, Sprout -- don't ask, it's long story!

Bio of Anne McAllister

RITA Award-winner Anne McAllister was born in California, spent formative summer vacations on the beach near her home and on her grandparents' small ranch in Colorado and visiting relatives in Montana. Studying the cowboys, the surfers and the beach volleyball players, she spent long hours developing her concept of "the perfect hero." (Have you noticed a lack of hard-driving Type A businessmen among them? Well, she promises to do one soon, just for a change!). One thing she did do, early on, was develop a weakness for lean, dark-haired, handsome lone-wolf type guys. When she finally found one, he was in the university library where she was working at the time. It didn't matter. She knew a good man when she saw one. And they've now been sharing "happily ever afters" for 32 years. They presently have four children, four dogs, and one bionic cat who, contrary to all expectations, is working on his second millennium. Quite a few years ago they moved to the Midwest, but they spend more and more time in Montana. And as Anne says, she lives there in her head most of the time anyway. She wishes a small town like her very own Elmer, Montana, existed. She'd move there in a minute. Before she started writing romances, Anne taught Spanish, capped deodorant bottles copyedited textbooks, got a master's degree in theology, and ghostwrote sermons. It all became grist for the fictional mill -- as has the family history she likes to learn more about every chance she gets. She might have to try her hand at that historical, after all -- especially now that she's learned more about that second great-grandfather who claims to have shot 40 men! In the meantime, though, she is planning more contemporary Code of the West books for Desire and Special Edition, as well as a single-title Code of the West book coming in early 2002, and a trilogy for Harlequin Presents beginning in August 2000. Keep your eye on both series as characters from each are going to start popping up in each other's books!

Bio of Kelly Hunter

Ships and steel, king tides and southerlies. And me. I was born in Australia in the port city of Newcastle, famous for its steelworks, drinking holes, and deep, safe harbor. "That'll be such-and-such," my grandmother used to say at the sound of a ship horn, deep and mournful. "She's been waiting offshore for the last eight weeks but they're bringing her in and she'll dock at number three." Some grandmothers keep an eye on the neighbors. Mine kept an eye on the ships. I did my schooling in Newcastle, went on to university and ended up with a Science degree and a research fellowship in Biochemistry. A year and a half later I traded in all my worldly possessions (there weren't many), cashed up, and set off to see the world.I've been a breakfast cook in Vancouver, a low roller in Vegas, a chalk artist in Paris and a farmhand in Wales. I've dived the Red Sea, seen the red caves of Petra, been stranded in the Sinai, and breathed the spice markets of Istanbul. Those are the places that stay vivid in my mind. Eventually I returned to Australia and acquired a husband and children. We worked in the cotton fields for a while, me as an agronomist, my husband working on his PHD. We then moved to Brisbane, where my husband, now a research scientist, worked a biological control project for CSIRO and I worked for the Department of Primary Industries coordinating teaching programs for farmers. We went to Malaysia as a husband and wife team on another biological control project, fell in love with the food but not the isolation. We decided it was time to settle down so we returned to Australia and made our home in rural New South Wales. My husband took a lecturing position at the local University and the kids went off to school. We acquired cows, chooks, and pets, and we dug gardens and planted trees whose roots grew deep into the ground. I work part time filling vials for a veterinary pharmaceutical company and also spend a day each week demonstrating Soil Science at the University. Oh, and there's one other thing I do with my time these days. I write romance. about kelly ~ kelly's books ~ links ~ contact kelly ~ home

Bio of Ally Blake

Ally is a hopeless romantic. She had no choice; it was in the blood, as she was born into a family of romance reading women. She remembers bagloads of books being passed on at family gatherings from her mother, her cousins, her aunt, even her grandmother. She also remembers slithering under the spare bed at her grandmother's house and finding an ever evolving treasure trove of Mills & Boon books. Still today, when staying over at her folks place, there are always a couple of Mills & Boon must-reads left waiting by her bed. Ally's first real job after completing her Bachelor of Arts degree was as a professional cheerleader. And, yes, that's a real job! For three years she danced for a grand final winning rugby league football team, a basketball team and on a weekly television show. After dancing came acting. What an unusual progression, you may say with more than a hint of sarcasm. Ally was quite happily roped into acting in friends' short films. She even wrote numerous scripts herself to try to give herself a better angle at becoming a rich and famous Academy Award-winning actress. And that was how she met her husband. He was the big new thing at a local television station and Ally was a bright-eyed and bushy tailed newcomer who fell for his big talk and his big heart. When a young chook, Ally's folks took her to an ear, nose and throat specialist, as they thought she was partially deaf. The doctor diagnosed her as having perfect hearing, whilst being simply "off with the fairies" a good portion of the time. Now as a grown up, she gets to sit at the laptop with a title, a couple of beautiful characters in mind and wait for the fairies to take flight. Constant coffee and bowls full of M&M's make her job that much more pleasurable!
