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.

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.
Hey, Boone — I just noticed your contest for Raven’s Brew coffee! I love their coffee bags. They have great T-shirts, too. I heard about them via a link on John Straley’s website, years ago. (For those who don’t know, John Straley writes mysteries and other stuff…essays, poetry. A great Alaska writer!)
