      • bioText: Pink velvet and black lace. Light and darkness. A world of contrasts exists in Natalie's stories because every rose has its thorn. Her favourite stories to write are romances with a dark edge featuring brooding heroes, strong heroines, an intriguing mystery, and a good dash of fantasy. Married, with one son, she now calls the beautiful island of Malta home after eleven good years in Atlanta, GA. As a professional editor and author, her days are always busy, but when she's not working���or muttering to herself about her book plots like a batty old maid���she enjoys spending time with family and friends (both online and offline), sipping on a good shiraz, reading, cooking and entertaining, watching a good movie, travelling, and ogling shoe store displays. Most of all, she loves to meet and communicate with other authors and readers.

      • bioText: D.D. Larsen answers to the name Dean���mostly because that's his name, but also because he's a friendly fellow. He now lives with his wife near Charlottesville, Virginia. But how did he get there? you might ask. Well, he was born into a large family in a small town in Nebraska. And his first job titles were Chicken Catcher and Corn Detasseler. He went on to live a somewhat normal life in the Midwest until he dropped out of dental school and moved to Los Angeles, where he became a stand-up comedian and founding member of The Groundlings improvisational comedy troupe. As an on-camera and voice actor he's been seen and/or heard in hundreds of TV commercials. Along the way he wrote some TV shows and earned the dubious claim to fame of setting the record for performing the most winning acts on The Gong Show (three). But then, he also holds the record for the most gonged acts (three). He's living proof that in life, you win some and you lose some. After taking a break from show-biz to raise a family and make a living in sales, he decided to resume storytelling. This time on paper (and e-devices). When not making up stuff for the entertainment of others, he serves as the Founder and President of Goofballs Anonymous�� - A 12-Step Program For Taking Silly Seriously.
