Traci Hunter Abramson

Traci Hunter Abramson worked for the Central Intelligence Agency for several years and credits the agency with giving her a wealth of ideas for writing as well as the skills needed to survive her children’s teenage years. She has gone on to write a number of award-winning, best-selling suspense novels.

Sian Ann Bessey

Sian Ann Bessey was born in Cambridge, England, and grew up on the island of Anglesey off the coast of North Wales. She left her homeland to attend university in the United States, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in communications, with a minor in English. She is a USA Today best-selling author.

Julie Wright

Julie Wright was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. She’s lived in LA, Boston, and the literal middle of nowhere (don’t ask). She wrote her first book when she was fifteen. Since then, she’s written twenty-five novels and co-authored three. Julie is a two-time winner of the Whitney Award for best romance.

Jennifer Moore

Jennifer Moore lives with one husband and four sons, who produce heaps of laundry and laughter. She earned a BA from the University of Utah in Linguistics, which she uses mostly for answering Jeopardy! questions. A reader of history and romance, she loves traveling, tall ships, scented candles, and watching cake decorating videos.

Nancy Campbell Allen

Nancy Campbell Allen is the award-winning author of eighteen published novels and several novellas, which encompass a variety of genres, ranging from contemporary romantic suspense to historical fiction. Nancy loves to read, write, travel, and research, and enjoys spending time with family and friends.

Michelle Wright

Baking at her grandmother’s side in a small Idaho kitchen, Michelle Wright discovered early in life that there’s no better way to combine creativity, love, and service than by mixing up some flour, sugar, butter, and chocolate—and then sharing those freshly baked cookies with neighbors and friends. Her most cherished cookbook of all is the one she still uses from her grandmother’s kitchen.

She has gone on to write a number of award-winning, best-selling suspense novels.

Tess & Corby Campbell

Tess and Corby wrote this book, but writing isn't usually their thing. They are two ordinary people living their lives—Corby having spent the last twenty years in a wheelchair and Tess having dealt with less outwardly obvious struggles. Corby is a software developer and amateur public speaker on topics such as resilience and gratitude; he even does occasional sit-down comedy gigs! Tess juggles creative projects and side jobs and mostly tries to keep their lives from descending into chaos.

Heather B. Moore

Heather B. Moore is a USA Today best-selling and award-winning author of more than seventy publications. She has lived on both the east and west coasts of the United States, including Hawaii, and attended school abroad including the Cairo American College in Egypt, and the Anglican School of Jerusalem in Israel. She loves to learn about history and is passionate about historical research.

Rebecca Connolly

Rebecca Connolly is the author of more than two dozen novels. She calls herself a Midwest girl, having lived in Ohio and Indiana. She’s always been a bookworm, and her grandma would send her books almost every month so she would never run out. Book Fairs were her carnival, and libraries are her happy place. She received a master’s degree from West Virginia University.

Esther Hatch

Esther Hatch grew up on a cherry orchard in rural Utah. She began writing when one of her favorite authors invited her to join a critique group. The only catch was she had to be a writer. Not one to be left out of an opportunity to socialize and try something new, Esther started on her first novel that week.

Sara B. Larson

Sara B. Larson is the best-selling and critically acclaimed author of multiple YA fantasy books. Every Beat After is her adult debut. She can’t remember a time when she didn’t write books—although she now uses a computer instead of a Little Mermaid notebook. When she’s not mothering, preschooling, or writing, you can often find her at the gym repenting of her sugar addiction.
