of Nashville, TN with her husband and three sons.

She's a seven-time nominee for the RITA Award, the industry's most prestigious prize, and has won countless others. Maggie lives in the tiny, beautifully rural town of Otselic, New York on a 200 acre non-working farm with her husband of 25 years. They have five gorgeous daughters, and a life that's half chaos, half bliss.

Ronda Thompson lives in the great state of Texas. Ronda has been an avid fan of romance for years and is published in several different genres. Paranormal romance is one of her favorite genres to write because anything can happen and usually does!
