Mills & Boon novels were Julia James' first "grown up" books she read as a teenager, and she's been reading them ever since. She adores the Mediterranean and the English countryside in all its seasons, and is fascinated by all things historical, from castles to cottages. In between writing she enjoys walking, gardening, needlework and baking "extremely gooey chocolate cakes" and trying to stay fit! Julia lives in England with her family. USA Today Bestselling Author, Trish Morey got confused on her way to becoming a writer and became a Chartered Accountant instead, so it's probably no accident that some of her favourite stories feature office romances. Trish lives with her family and assorted pets in a special part of South Australia, surrounded by orchards and bushland, and visited by the occasional koala and kangaroo. Trish loves to hear from her readers - you can email her at
