Liz Pelletier loves to write dark paranormal romances, although they tend to turn into black comedies by the time she's done. 
In her spare time, she co-owns and manages two fabulously popular sites dedicated to writers and readers.
Dawn McClure is a multi-published paranormal romance author. She lives in BFE South Dakota, where the nearest mall is a depressing 80 miles from her house. 
Between the ice storms and the tornados prevalent in her area she works at an elementary school as a paraprofessional by day and writes humorous, snarky paranormals by night.
C.J. Ellisson lives near Washington DC with her husband, two children, two Staffordshire bull terriers and a young cat to whom she’s newly allergic. 
After spending most of her working life associated with real estate, she’s now pursuing a new passion of fiction writing. Her Erotic Urban Fantasy series stars a smart, strong, and slightly sarcastic female vampire running a resort for the undead in Alaska.
Suzanne Johnson grew up in Northwest Alabama in the shadow of Elvis Presley, Bear Bryant, and the annual Mule Day festivities. A finely honed sense of the absurd was inevitable.
A longtime New Orleans resident, she exorcised her Hurricane Katrina demons in Royal Street and River Road, first installments in a new urban fantasy series coming in 2011 from Tor Books. Suzanne lives in Auburn, Alabama
Kerri Nelson- After an education and career in the legal field, Kerri began to pen romantic suspense novels with a legal or law enforcement theme. Kerri is a multi-published author of romance in many different genres and her latest paranormal 
“Vegan Moon” will release from Eternal Press in September 2010.
She is a true southern belle and when she’s not reading or writing, you’ll find her baking homemade goodies for her family.
Boone Brux lives in Anchorage, Alaska, where there’s never a pesky sunshine problem during the winter. Living seventeen years in the bush gifted her with valuable life lessons like, 
Marissa Farrar, born in Devon, England, loves to travel and has lived in both Australia and Spain. She now resides outside of London with her husband and two children. 
She has a degree in Zoology, but her true love has always been writing. Marissa writes horror as well as paranormal romance. Alone is her debut novel and her second, The Dark Road, will be released soon.
Ok. I think I got the RSS Feed correct.:)
