Author Information

Bio of Kate Hardy

Kate lives just outside Norwich in the east of England with her husband, small son and daughter and two mad spaniels. She's always loved books and could read before she went to school. She always knew that she wanted to be a writer, and her parents bought her a proper typewriter for her sixth birthday. (She's still a six-finger typist, though....) Her first stories were all about ponies or outer space, but then she discovered Mills & Boon when she was 12 and decided this was what she wanted to do. Following a degree in English, Kate started work as an accountant, and hated every second of it! All the clients asked why she wasn't working in PR -- so she went into marketing communications for the next 10 years. In between studying for two sets of professional exams, Kate continued to write short stories and novels. And her husband supported her every step of the way, even buying her first computer for her! When Kate's son, Chris, was born in 1997, she decided to go freelance so she could spend time with her baby. She became a health journalist and copy editor but never lost her love of romance. When Kate was pregnant with her daughter, her husband suggested combining her two loves by writing medical romances. Kate started reading them and was instantly hooked. (She claims they were her craving when she was pregnant!)

Bio of Sarah Mayberry

Sarah Mayberry was born in Melbourne, Australia, and is the middle of three children. From the time that she first "stole" paper from kindergarten and stapled it together to make "books," Sarah has always wanted to be a writer. In line with this ambition, on graduation from high school she completed a bachelor of arts degree majoring in professional writing, then sat down to write a book. When inspiration didn't strike, she began to wonder if, perhaps, she needed to live some life first before writing about it. This still left the burning question of how to pay the rent. She found her way into trade journalism, working off the principle that it was better to write anything for a living than nothing at all. Her time there lead to the opportunity to launch a new decorator magazine for one of Australia's major retailers, an invaluable and grueling experience that she found very rewarding. But the opportunity to write fiction for a living soon lured Sarah away. She took up a post as storyliner on Australia's longest running soap, Neighbours. Over two years she helped plot more than 240 hours of television, as well as writing freelance scripts. She remembers her time with the show very fondly — especially the dirty jokes and laughter around the story table — and still writes scripts on a freelance basis. In 2003 she relocated to New Zealand for her partner's work. There Sarah served as storyliner and story editor on the country's top-rating drama, Shortland Street, before quitting to pursue writing full time. Sarah picked up a love of romance novels from both her grandmothers, and has submitted manuscripts to Harlequin many times over the years. She credits the invaluable story structuring experience she learned on Neighbours as the key to her eventual success — along with the patience of her fantastic editor, Wanda. Sarah is revoltingly happy with her partner of twelve years, Chris, who is a talented scriptwriter. Not only does he offer fantastic advice and solutions to writing problems, but he's also handsome, funny and sexy. When she's not gushing over him, she loves to read romance and fantasy novels, go to the movies, sew and cook for her friends. She has also become a recent convert to Pilates, which she knows she should do more often. She would love to hear from readers via her email address at sarahjmayberry@hotmail.com

Bio of Emilie Rose

Emilie lives in her native North Carolina with her four sons and two adopted mutts. Her love for romance novels developed when she was twelve years old and her mother hid them under sofa cushions each time Emilie entered the room. Who wouldn't be curious and sneak a peek? Emilie grew up riding and showing horses and chasing after her older brothers. More often than not, she had to bribe her way into being included. Her hobbies include riding her Harley, gardening, cooking (especially baking cheesecake) and anything cowboy. Emilie's a country music fan because there's an entire book in nearly every song. She's also a devoted baseball fan and can often be found at a Durham Bulls game during the season. A sucker for any stray, Emilie has been known to bring home orphaned squirrels, bunnies and kittens, much to her sons' delight. She is a lover of anything cute and fuzzy, which explains the incredible variety of pets her children have had. Thanks to her sons and older brothers, she's also tolerant of the not-so-cute-and-fuzzy reptile pets. Writing is her third (and hopefully her last) career. She has managed a medical office and ran a home day care, neither of which offers half as much satisfaction as plotting happy endings. Letters can be mailed to Emilie at P.O. Box 20145, Raleigh, NC, 27619, or via e-mail to EmilieRoseC@aol.com.

Bio of Leslie Kelly

Leslie is a stay-at-home mother of three, who started writing as a creative outlet after one too many games of Chutes & Ladders.

That book, the first she ever wrote, was purchased off the slush pile by an editor at Harlequin Temptation.

Bio of Jamie Sobrato

Golden Heart Award winning author Jamie Sobrato fell in love with the romance genre at an early age, when she used to sneak her mother's romance novels off the shelves to read during summer vacations. She'd decided by the time she was in the seventh grade that she wanted to be a writer, but in spite of those early ambitions, she pursued a career teaching high school English before she turned to writing. It quickly became clear to Jamie that she wasn't cut out for teaching high school, so with much support and encouragement from her husband, she began writing her first romance novel. After five years and more than a few rejection letters, she made her first sales to the Harlequin Temptation and Harlequin Blaze lines, fulfilling her lifelong dream. Jamie now spends her days writing fun, sexy romances, and she can't imagine a better job in the world. Originally from Louisville, Kentucky, Jamie is married to her own hunky romance hero, and they are the exhausted parents of two young children. They live wherever her husband's army career takes them, currently calling the Southern California desert their home. On the rare occasions when she's not writing or chasing a toddler, Jamie enjoys reading, bargain shopping, eating chocolate and going jogging to burn off chocolate calories.
