JR Ward

A special mention has to go out to JR Ward, who has been kind enough to take me under her wing and offer helpful advice and encouragement. Not to mention the fact that her Black Dagger Brotherhood Novels ROCK!!! Check her out - they are a great read. I only hope to emulate her success - and trust me her shining example of paying it forward will be something I carry forward with me. She also writes under Jessica Bird.

Now here's a girl with a hell of a lot of bite!! Not for the faint- hearted that is for sure. Needless to say - LOVE IT!!!!! She has too many to list and you have got to read them all. A true blend of violence, sex and relationships from hell. Great characters that drag you right along with them. READ THEM!!!!
Sherrilyn Kenyon

Acheron. Sigh!!!! A God after my own heart. Another great story-teller. Her world is so involved and intense that you want to get to know everyone in it. I have every single book this woman has written and have read them all more than once. She also writes under the pen-name of Kinley MacGregor. You'll like these. God knows I did. Have you gotten the idea that I read a lot yet?
Stephanie Meyer

EVERYONE knows who this woman is. She has basically dragged the Paranormal Romance Genre out into the bright and blinding lights of Hollywood. Something that we all should be grateful for because it sends all kinds of readers to the bookshelves looking for more. While I loved the Twilight Series, our writing styles are completely different. I am however inspired by Stephanie's grit and determination. I, like everyone else, have well-worn copies on my bookshelves. I'm glad my daughter has even started reading them. I have seen quite a few interviews and she seems to be a down to earth kind of person. She too has had to endure lots of rejections before hitting gold with her Twilight series. She is the ultimate rags to riches Cinderella. I'll just keep digging for gold on my own - hopefully I'll find it before I hit China!
Jacquelyn Frank

Love the ShadowDwellers! Anther incredible woman writing incredibly engaging stories. Check them out! She also has more books than I can shake a stick at and every one is a best-seller! That should tell you something. Love the creepy gothic music and thunderclaps on her website. So much fun!
Tina Folsom

A german born Goddess she has made a career for herself doing the thing she loved best Writing. Fiercely independent she has succeeded enormously in the self-publishing venue, both accomplishments that I admire her greatly. She had taken time out of her busy schedule to answer many of my questions and I am very grateful! She now has 15 novels in English and several in other languages (Spanish, German, and French) and continues to write, as well as have her existing novels translated. Not including the two new ones she has coming out soon. Which I think is totally cool!
