Author Information

Bio of Jeanne Allen

Jeanne Allen has drawn from her interest in science and nature to write thought-provoking stories that intertwine the genres of science fiction and romance. Jeanne is a member of the writers' group EPIC (Electronically Published Internet Connection). Her first novel is the science fiction thriller/romance The Most Daring Dreams, to be re-released in April 2005 through DDP. Jeanne resides with her husband and border collie mix, Ursula, in the North Woods of Minnesota.

Bio of Jeanine Berry

Words are Jeanine Berry ' s passion. Perhaps it is genetic since she comes from a family of writers. An avid reader all her life, she started scratching pen to paper at an early age. Once she learned to type, she kept her family awake late at night with the clicking of keys. Eventually, she left home, studied English and journalism and went on to a career as a journalist. The hard-charging, deadline-driven world of journalism left her little time for her own writing. But the desire to put her fantasy worlds down on paper in novel form never left her. When the Internet was born, she was hooked by the idea of ebooks. She dug out one of her old manuscripts from long ago, polished it up and sent it in to an epublisher. Her creative writing career was soon launched. She is now the author of three fantasy novels, and three SF novels, as well as a contributor to two anthologies. Dayspring Destiny, the final book of her Dayspring series, took the 2004 Eppie for best fantasy novel. Jeanine lives in the Chicago area with her husband and two very spoiled Australian Silky Terriers.

Bio of Shannah Biondine

A native Californian, Shannah Biondine resides in the hills of Ventura County with her husband, two teenagers, three large dogs, and a calico cat. Shannah writes full time and belongs to several writer organizations. Before turning to fiction, she owned and operated a resume/secretarial service and was a professional business writer for many years. Shannah is the author of numerous historical romances and several works of fantasy. Her Western historicals are published by New Concepts and Double Dragon Publishing. Her LTDBooks title, Shadow in Starlight, won the 2002 Eppie for Best Fantasy/Paranormal Romance and was both a 2002 PRISM Fantasy Finalist and 2002 RT Reviewer ' s Choice Award Nominee. She ' s also contributed a fantasy novella to the Double Dragon speculative fiction anthology, Twilight Crossings, which was a 2002 Dream Realms Finalist. Whiskey Creek Press is slated to release her paranormal historical romance, Sleight of Mind, in July ' 04; Double Dragon has a sequel to Twilight Crossings scheduled for September ' 04.

Excerpt from: Twilight Crossings II by Jeanne Allen

The stench of unwashed bodies was the first thing Tanner noticed as she stepped through the doorway; the second was the noise. She didn't like coming into the settlements. The clash of sounds always made her uncomfortable, and too many people in one place made her nervous.

She remained near the entrance and let her gaze dart quickly from table to table, bench to bench. It was hard to see beyond the dim light filtering through the open door. Smoke hung heavy in the stale air and made her eyes water. A woman's laughter drifted forward, the high-pitched peal rising above the jumbled drone of so many people speaking at once.

Tanner frowned at her brother. "Tell me again why I'm here "

Conn gave her a lopsided grin. "The man said he wanted to speak to the one in charge. I guess that'd be you."

"And he gave you no hint as to what he wanted "

Conn folded his arms across his chest and shrugged. "He wants us to trek him into the wilds, but would give me no further details. Those, he said, are to be given to you." He winked at her. "And that's why you're here."

"We're not a coach service. We're Seekers. We bring things back from the Old World, we don't take people into it." Tanner shook her head. "Why us "

Conn tapped her arm and nodded toward the far end of the tavern. "Ask him yourself."

Her gaze followed his nod toward a large stone fireplace. A man of short stature stood staring down to the flame, his face half-hidden in shadows. He was dressed as a commoner; his plain tunic, patched at the elbows, hung formless over his thick frame while the faded brown material had long since seen better days. Strands of matted hair draped over his face and shoulders, further hiding his features from her.

Tanner eyed the empty tables on either side of the man. None seemed willing to draw close, even in a tavern filled to overflowing.

She lifted her brow. "Are you sure He doesn't look like someone who'd want to hire us, much less be able to pay our fee."

"Not the little fellow. The one at the table behind him."

Tanner squinted beyond the glow of the fireplace. She could just make out another man sitting with his back against the wall staring at the crowd.
