EMILIE RICHARDS

Award-winning author Emilie Richards believes opposites attract, and her marriage is vivid proof. “When we met,” the author says, “the only thing my husband and I could agree on was that we were very much in love.” The couple has lived in eight states and briefly abroad, and now resides in Virginia. Emilie loves creating complex characters who make positive changes in their lives. And she’s a sucker for happy endings.

MARIE FERRARELLA

earned a master’s degree in Shakespearean comedy and, perhaps as a result, her writing is distinguished by humor and natural dialogue. This RITA Award-winning author’s goal is to entertain and to make people laugh and feel good. She has written over 100 books for Silhouette, some under the name Marie Nicole. Her romances are beloved by fans worldwide and have been translated into Spanish, Italian, German, Russian, Polish, Japanese and Korean.

ELIZABETH BEVARLY

was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, and earned her B.A. with honors in English from the University of Louisville in 1983. When she’s not writing, Elizabeth enjoys old movies, old houses, good books, whimsical antiques, hot jazz and even hotter salsa (the music, not the sauce). She resides with her husband and young son back home in Kentucky.
