About Melissa Brayden
Melissa Brayden is a multi-award winning romance author with twenty-four novels (as of Sep 2023) published with Bold Strokes Books. She is currently hard at work on her next book and embracing the full-time writer’s life in San Antonio, Texas.
Melissa is married and working really hard at keeping two short humans alive. For personal enjoyment, she spends time with her Jack Russell Terriers and checks out the NYC theater scene whenever possible. She considers herself a reluctant patron of spin class, but would much rather be sipping wine and staring off into space. Kissing scenes remain her favorite.
About Rachel Spangler
Rachel Spangler never set out to be a New York Times-reviewed author. They were just so poor during seven years of college that they had to come up with creative forms of cheap entertainment. Their debut novel, Learning Curve, was born out of one such attempt. Since writing is more fun than a real job and so much cheaper than therapy, they continued to type away, leading to the publication of Timeless, The Long Way Home, LoveLife, Spanish Heart, Does She Love You, Timeless, Heart of The Game, Perfect Pairing, Close to Home, Edge of Glory, In Development, Love All, Full English, Spanish Surrender, Fire and Ice, Straight Up, Modern English and Thrust. Now a four-time Lambda Literary Award finalist, an IPPY, Goldie, and Rainbow Award winner, and the 2018 Alice B. Reader recipient, Rachel plans to continue writing as long as anyone, anywhere, will keep reading.
In 2018 Spangler joined the ranks of the Bywater Books substantive editing team. They now hold the title of senior romance editor for the company and love having the opportunity to mentor young authors.
Rachel lives in Western New York with wife, Susan and son, Jackson. Their family spends the long winters curling and skiing. In the summer, they love to travel and watch their beloved St. Louis Cardinals. Regardless of the season, Rachel always makes time for a good romance, whether reading it, writing it, or living it.
