Star Quality

Dianne Castell made her debut as a Brava author in May 2005 via Star Quality, an anthology with Lori Foster, Lucy Monroe, and the delicious men of Delicious, Ohio. Dianne’s first single title came out in September 2005 as part of a trilogy set on the Mississippi River with those sexy O’Fallen brothers. Her stories are humorous, fast-paced, sensual, and very sexy, set in small-town USA. They focus on the zany things people do when falling madly in love. Dianne also writes the Up Close and Personal: Editor Interview column for Romance Writers Report.

LORI FOSTER is a New York Times, USA Today and Publishers Weekly bestselling author whose sexy contemporary romance novels have sold over 10 million copies. She hosts the annual Reader & Author Get Together, facilitating interaction between readers, authors, and industry professionals while also donating all proceeds from raffles to local charities. Known for her alpha males who meet (and fall in love with) strong, independent women, she’s been featured as a clue in the New York Times crossword puzzle and the USA Today “Quick Cross” puzzle. She lives in Central Ohio and can be found online at LoriFoster.com.

USA Today bestseller, Lucy Monroe happily lives in the gorgeous Pacific Northwest where green isn't just the predominant color of nature, but a lifestyle choice for many. She thinks it all ties into the same hopeful attitude she finds in romance: the belief that happy endings are as real as tragedy and love carries more power than any other emotion. Sure it takes work and dedicated commitment, but that's what real romance is all about and she believes in it. Hot, gut-wrenching romance with alpha heroes and strong heroines that readers want to love and identify with. She finds inspiration everywhere, but nowhere more consistently than in her own life-long passionate, but never boring love affair. Her own personal hero has proven time and again that alpha men know how to love and even a lifetime isn't long enough to enjoy that love when it's real. Devoted to her family, she loves to spend time with them – her sisters and her daughters are her BFFs and always will be. Now that the fitness bug has hit them all, they're as likely to be found going for a power walk together as getting mani-pedis at her favorite salon. She's as much a reader as an author and chances are your faves are in her TBR pile too. She's always delighted to meet and talk with other readers and hopes you'll stop by one of her social pages to chat.
