Sherry James

Nebraska native, Sherry James, spent her youth riding and writing. All those hours she spent on the back of a horse sure gave her plenty of time to think up a few stories. She grew up to become a rodeo queen and a published author. Guess all that riding and writing paid off! These days she’s a wife to an amazing husband, and the mother of two equally amazing kids. She still rides when she gets the chance, and has more than 80 magazine and newspaper articles to her credit. She is a founding member and past president of the Prairieland Romance Writers, and a long-time member of RWA. Her first romance, Studs For Hire:Woman On Top was an October release from Black Velvet Seductions.  She has sold her second book, Cowboy Fling, (working title) to Ellora's Cave.

While she continues to write about cops and crime scenes for Intrigue, Ms. Miller now also writes for Harlequin Blaze--where her romantic suspense books get a steamier twist, and her military heroes have been especially popular. She has also written for continuities and other special projects at Harlequin/Silhouette. Her books have appeared on the USA Today and Waldenbooks bestseller lists.

With well over a million copies of her stories in print worldwide, this author of more than 30 books gets support from her fellow members of the Prairieland Romance Writers--her local chapter of Romance Writers of America, as well as the Mystery-Romantic Suspense sub-genre chapter of RWA. And, of course, her biggest supporters are her husband and son--and smiling guard dog, Maxie!

Born and raised in Missouri, Ms. Miller is the daughter of a veteran Marine turned teacher turned ace-carpenter in his retirement, and a mom who is also retired from teaching and has become her best friend. She graduated from the University of Missouri-Columbia with a degree in Education. She also attended the University of Nebraska-Kearney and taught middle and senior high school English and Speech for fifteen years. Now she resides in Grand Island, Nebraska, where she still teaches part-time and dabbles in theater and music in addition to writing her books, spoiling her dog, being a wife and the best mom her son ever had!

Robin L. Rotham

A bookworm from the age of ten, Robin L. Rotham lived vicariously through daring, romantic heroines for nearly twenty years, dreaming all the while of one day writing her own romance novels, as well as her own happily ever after.

When she finally found her real-life hero, he wasn't quite what--or where--she expected. Undaunted, she chased him over three states and four years before he finally swept her off her feet. They’ve been married for more than ten years, have three children, and live on a farm in rural Nebraska.

The realities of home and family kept her from fulfilling her other dream for ten more years, but Robin finally succumbed to the writing bug in 2005 and cranked out her first novel on a used laptop from eBay in less than seven weeks. Alien Overnight is her second completed novel.
