ABOUT THE GUESTS
Award-winning and USA Today bestselling author of over thirty books, Sharon C. Cooper loves anything that involves romance with a happily-ever-after, whether in books, movies, or real life. Sharon writes contemporary romance, as well as romantic suspense and enjoys rainy days, carpet picnics, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. She’s been nominated for numerous awards and is the recipient of Romance Slam Jam Emma Awards for Author of the Year 2019, Favorite Hero 2019, Romantic Suspense of the Year 2015, Interracial Romance of the Year 2015, and BRAB (Building Relationships Around Books) Award-Breakout Author of the Year 2014. When Sharon isn’t writing, she’s hanging out with her amazing husband, doing volunteer work or reading a good book (a romance of course).Tara Pammi writes messy, imperfectly perfect characters who find acceptance and love with other messy, imperfect people! Her romance novels cover the gamut of human experience with love from sweet and flirty to emotional and heartwrenching. In a good way! Tara lives in Washington with her very own Hero and two Heroines-in-making. When she isn’t writing or reading, Tara can be found failing in the kitchen, binge-reading or binge-watching, or making resolutions in her pretty planner to exercise more, or even a little.
Leslye Penelope has been writing since she could hold a pen and loves getting lost in the worlds in her head. She is an award-winning author of fantasy and paranormal romance. She was born in the Bronx, just after the birth of hip hop, but left before she could acquire an accent. Equally left and right-brained, she studied Film at Howard University and minored in Computer Science. This led to a graduate degree in Multimedia and a career in website development. She’s also an award-winning independent filmmaker, co-founded a literary magazine, and sometimes dreams in HTML. Leslye lives in Maryland with her husband and their furry dependents.
Of Middle Eastern descent, Diana Quincy grew up all over the world as the daughter of a United States Foreign Service Officer. After college, she became a television journalist, but quickly decided it was much more fun to make up stories where a happy ending is always guaranteed. Since her 2013 debut, Diana’s books have landed on annual “Best of” lists in Library Journal and The Washington Post. Diana is now happily settled in Virginia, but still gets the itch to explore far-off places. When she’s not bent over her laptop, Diana spends time with her family, reads, practices yoga and plots her next travel adventure. You can follow her on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and join her private readers’ group Diana’s Divas.
