Initially a French/English teacher, Emma Darcy changed careers to computer programming before the happy demands of marriage and motherhood. Very much a people person, and always interested in relationships, she finds the world of romance fiction a thrilling one and the challenge of creating her own cast of characters very addictive.

Former journalist Sara also balanced her impressing writing career with winning the 1997 series of the UK TV show Mastermind, and standing as Chairman of the Romance Novelists' Association from 2011 to 2013. Sara passed away in November 2017. Diana Hamilton's first stories were written for the amusement of her children. They were never publihed, but the writing bug had bitten. Over the next ten years she combined writing novels with bringing up her children, gardening and cooking for the restaurant of a local inn - a wonderful excuse to avoid housework! In 1987 Diana realized her dearest ambition - the publication of her first Mills & Boon romance. Diana lives in Shropshire, England, with her husband.
