Well Im a fourth generation South Dakotan living in the Black Hills which is chock-full of interesting characters including cowboys Indians ranchers and bikers. The geographical diversity of the surrounding area showcases mountains plains and badlands. Living in and writing about rural settings gives me a unique perspective especially since Im not writing historical westerns. Through my fictional world I can show the ideals and the cowboy way of life are still very much alive. Alexandra Ivy is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. From Alexandra: Im not exactly sure when I fell in love with books. Probably on my mothers knee listening to her read Dr. Seuss to me. I do remember that I was barely old enough to cross the street by myself when I discovered the delights of the local library. Could anything be more wonderful than spending summer days surrounded by stacks of Nancy Drew mysteries? Over the years I fell in love with Victoria Holt Jane Austen Agatha Christie and J.R.R. Tolkien just to name a few. I read poetry essays biographies and plays. In fact I read anything I could get my hands on. Years later (no Im not admitting how many) Im still an avid reader and my tastes are still as varied as they were in my youth which I suppose helps to explain why I enjoy writing regency historicals under the name of Deborah Raleigh as well as my contemporary paranormals as Alexandra Ivy. For now that is enough to keep me busy but who knows what the future might hold! I do have a few other loves in my life besides reading and writing the most important being my unbelievably patient husband David and my two sons Chance and Alexander. Without their constant support and belief in me I never could have been able to follow my dreams. They are truly my heroes. Laura Wright is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. From Laura: Unlike many of my peers in the writing world I wasnt a writer or a reader until I left high school. During my youth I was into theater song and dance commercials and boys. I loved romance surely but I had never read a romance novel until my late teens. With that said I remember the day I did like it was a moment ago my aunt gave me the Jude Deveraux novel Knight in Shining Armor and I couldnt put it down until the very last word. Then I went straight to the library and got another then another until Id read everything shed ever written. After that it was McNaught Howard Schone Kleypas and the Silhouette line Desire. I instantly loved those emotional sexy reads so much so that I began to carve out ideas for my own stories themes that were unique to me and moved me. In 1997 I enrolled in UCLA extension writing classes met my mentor and critique partners and since have never stopped writing. I was committed then and I still am now; the need to tell my own romantic stories a full on obsession. My first manuscript was rejected and though the second one was as well the editor whod rejected it wanted to see something else from me. I had something (note to authors; always keep working even after youve sent in a proposal) and sent it right away. The day I got the call telling me Desire wanted to buy Cinderella and the Playboy was the best day of my life. That is until I married my husband and had my two beautiful children. But I must say writing is much like motherhood tough grueling surprising delicious and for me a dream come true.
