Christine Merrill wanted to be a writer for as long as she can remember. During a stint as a stay-at-home-mother, she decided it was time to "write that book." She could set her own hours and would never have to wear pantyhose to work! It was a slow start but she slogged onward and seven years later, she got the thrill of seeing her first book hit the bookstores. Christine lives in Wisconsin with her family.

Liz Tyner grew up on a farm in Oklahoma fascinated by stories and storytelling. By the time she was in high school, Liz often read a book each day, collected romance novels and decided she would write a manuscript someday.

She and her husband live on an acreage where she enjoys spending her evening gazing at stars, sitting around a campfire, or at a concert where it's prudent to wear hearing protection.
