Clare Connelly is voracious reader and writer of romance, with over seventy category romance novels to her name. The appeal of romance is, for Clare, timeless and universal. When Clare isn't writing, she's most likely walking along the placid coastline of South Australia coming up with new story ideas.
Award-winning author, Leisl Leighton is a tall red head with an overly large imagination. She writes paranormal romance and romantic suspense, and mainlines historicals, fantasy and science-fiction in her spare time. Former president of the RWA, Leisl lives in the leafy suburbs of Melbourne with her two beautiful boys, lovely hubby, and overly spunky pets.
