married and have six grown children. I have been reviewing for
almost six years. I review for AOL Writers Club, Scribes World,
Heart Rate Reviews, and Sharpwriter. I love to read and will read
any genre. My favorite genre is romance; romance suspense,
contemporary, multicultural, some time travel. I do not read
sci-fi, although I have reviewed a few. I have a lot of authors that are automatic buys for me, but I will try a new author when it is recommended by a review site I trust. I do enjoy the new ebooks that are coming out. |

A love for reading inspired me to write my own stories.
For twenty years I worked as a Registered Medical Technologist and wrote
in-house manuals as a part of that position. When my husband and I
decided it was time to retire, we decided to make it a really big move.
Mike moved his big city wife to the Ouachita Mountains in southeastern
Oklahoma. And I am so glad he did. We love it here. It's the perfect
place to appease my passion for reading and this is where my dream of
becoming a published author came to fruition.
My next vision? To become a Best Selling Author of course. Happy reading and remember, only Passion can bring a Vision to Life.

Barbara Edwards grew up in a small town in Connecticut. She claimed the title of Jill of all Trades doing everything from crossing guard to sales manager before she attended the University of Hartford where she earned a Master's Degree in Public Administration. She wrote poetry to satisfy her inner urge to express herself and turned to novels when she admitted she needed to tell her stories in a longer form. She is fascinated with the past so it was a logical step to write historical romances. The romance comes from her belief in people's basic goodness and longing for love. She joined Romance Writers of America in 1989 and belongs to the Connecticut Chapter, the Central Florida Chapter and the Mystery/Suspense chapter. She is a Past President and former Newsletter Editor of Central Florida Romance Writers. She was a finalist in the Kiss of Death contest in 1998, and the Duel on the Delta long historical category in 1997. Her first novel, Another Love, is a historical romance available from Starlight Writer Publications at http://www.starpublications.com. Her second release, Annie's Heart will be available in December. A third novel, Rachel's Rescue is a romantic suspense due out in 2001. Now that writing is her full-time profession, she enjoys gardening, sewing and Civil War re-enacting with her husband Bill and her teen-ager. The most exercise she gets is when her Rottweiller, Jake demands a walk. Web site: http://www.barbaraedwards.8m.com |

| Carole Nomarhas lives in Australia with an incredibly
patient husband and an incredibly large dog. My fiction comes in many guises though most usually it veers towards the fantastic, and so has been categorized as SF, fantasy, horror and when all other labels fail it has even been called literature (the shame). My stories have appeared in numerous Australian publications from Eidolon to Outrider, and sometimes on the net including appearances in Jackhammer and Twilight Showcase. My most recent sales have been to Winedark Sea, Eternal Twilight and the forthcoming HWA affiliate anthology Bell, Book and Beyond... In 1998 my fantasy short story 'Grievous Music' was short-listed for a Ditmar award.I began reviewing e-zines for Dark Matter Chronicles in 1999, and things have grown since then.

three wonderful young men. In 1990 I was widowed. Became disabled in
1997 giving me time to read. Can anyone imagine not reading?
A wannabe writer, I am an avid reader. I most like fiction that informs me about something, and above all is enjoyable. I find people highly interesting both psychologically and sociologically. Give me a peek at what makes a believable character tick, show me some cultural dynamics, sweep me off to a place out of my safe little world, teach me anything, or make me think, add thrills and chills, and Ill get my own cup of java and be in heaven. |

As an avid reader of young adult romances, Tonya Ramagos
has always dreamed of writing her own teen novels. The road to her
writing career began when she was a youngster in Junior High School.
Showing their support, Tonya's parents enrolled her in a correspondence
course through The Institute of Children's Literature. It was that
course that taught her the business of writing for teens and opened the
doors for her to reach the publishing industry. Through the obstacles of life since Junior High, Tonya Ramagos put her writing aside from time to time but always kept her dream in the back of her mind. Finally in 1997 she met her husband Jarett. Thanks to his words of encouragement and support Tonya Ramagos returned to her writing making the vow to never push her dream aside again. In April 1999 Tonya Ramagos' first book titled The Feud was accepted for publication by Domhan Books and released in June 1999. Since then Tonya has had several other teen books, two short stories, and several adult mysteries written under the name of Calley Moore accepted for publication. She has been featured on the front page of the Ocean Springs Record and the Ocean Springs Press as well as various sites for writers and readers on the Internet and has appeared on WLOX-TV 13 on two different occasions. Please visit her website MR News at http://www.geocities.com/tomrbooks for previews and links to her other works.

| I'm a single (never married) Australian "Baby
Boomer" with an independent lifestyle and a great zest for life. Very
much a people person, I also relish the fact that I can spend lots of time
"home alone". I'm passionate about books and writing. I've been
in my own writing business for 18 years. I work in the IT Industry and
Business Sector as a technical writer, editor and trainer. This work is
very "intense" and centres around large computer systems,
software packages and other related hi-tech stuff. I write contemporary category romance and mainstream fiction, do manuscript assessments and run writing courses. I read widely across the genres, and feel fortunate to be earning a living from something I truly love. The lack of Australian publishers of romance fiction prompted me to launch Livewire Publishing in August this year. I'm acquiring some great manuscripts and hope to release books onto the market in 2001. The internet has opened up wonderful opportunities for Livewire New Millennium Romances to be launched on the international stage. It's exciting to contemplate this next phase of my very satisfying life. Livewire Publishing Website http://www.LivewirePublishing.com.au |

 I'm
the program director for a small public radio station in the Western
United States.. I also am an arts journalist. That's a part of a
"A Mouth Full of Shell's" heroine, Betsy Craig that's really me.
She's a journalist; I'm a journalist. I write to speak for the
radio. Writing organizes what I say on the air. I was born in Illinois lived in New Jersey, New York City, Pennsylvania, New York State, Iowa, Kansas, and South Dakota. Now New Mexico. In all those places I was doing lots of things: growing up, going to college, teaching, and doing radio. Except not all at the same time. Wherever I live I delve into local history. the past can make us understand the present, if we let it. I like to cook, travel and take black and white photos. I've visited Germany, Austria Switzerland, Ireland, England, France, Italy, Greece, Canada, the Caribbean, and Mexico. You can see of my photos if you go to my web site. Betsy Craig in my novel "A Mouth Full of Shell" likes to travel and lives in Pennsylvania. She's a teacher. She has a parakeet. I have -- two dogs. Ha! Fooled you that time. She's struggling with academic politics in the story. We all struggle with some form of politics. She does okay. Just like most of us do. I do all kinds of writing. Always did. That's important. One kind sharpens the other. "A Mouth Full of Shell's" characters are all real in the sense that I either based them on people I've met, on composites of people I've known. Some of the stuff in the story happened to me. A lot happened to people I knew. The rest? Well the Irish have a saying that you shouldn't let the truth get in the way of a good story, so I started with the truth and expanded it. For "Shell's" real people, I pictured individuals as a wrote. Thought how they walked talked, sounded, and acted. Anna Martin is real, though that isn't her real name. Hank was an actual man, and Roger Farmington. Ellen is alive and Steve and Mike, Joe and Andy, though I haven't seen them for a long long time. And Jeannie's real. Her family's made up from somewhere in my head. Todd's a composite who is a gourmet cook. Andrea comes from several sources. So do Johann von Steinholtz, Violet, Leonore, and Lance. Dr. Josylin is real -- with much admiration for the colleague on whom he is based. I hope you can meet and enjoy all the characters in "A Mouth Full of Shell."

I have a new book of poetry out "Sparrow in the Snow" isbn 0595005225. I am hard at work on a second book which will be titled "Twilight Dream".

I am currently the president of the Phoenix Poetry Society and the treasurer of the Arizona State Poetry Society, and I've done various public readings. Emily Dickinson, W.H.
