Rose's Instructors

Elle James spent twenty years livin' and lovin' in South Texas, ranching horses, cattle, goats, ostriches and emus. A former IT professional, Elle is proud to be writing full-time, penning intrigues and paranormal adventures that keep her readers on the edge of their seats. Now living in northwest Arkansas, she isn't wrangling cattle, she's wrangling her muses, a malti-poo and yorkie. When she's not at her computer, she's traveling, out snow-skiing, boating, or riding her ATV, dreaming up new stories. She writes for Harlequin Intrigue, Romantic Suspense, Nocturne and Nocturne Cravings. For more information regarding Elle James visit: www.ElleJames.com
In 2000 when award winning author Delilah Devlin issued that challenge to her sister, Elle, to become published or bust-Delilah wasn't about to let Lil Sis leave her in the dust! Since then she's won numerous RWA Chapter Contests (including the Maggie) and finally found her niche in hot, steamy romantica. She's sold many novels to Ellora's Cave, four novels to Avon Red, two novels to Berkley, a variety of novellas to Samhain and numberous novellas to Kensington Aphrodisia and Zane. She's a powerhouse writer with Writer's Attention Deficit Disorder (WADD). A former officer in the US Army, she's led a life of adventure, which inspires her fast-paced and humorous books. Delilah quit her DDJ (Dratted Day Job) to pursue writing full-time. She has two children, four grandchildren and swears she holds the Guinness World Record for youngest person to ever give birth!

Layla Chase has been associated with Delilah and Elle since that infamous January in 2000 when they formed a critique group and challenged each other to create better stories. She's sold manuscripts to Kensington, Amber Quill Press, Wild Rose Press and Ellora's Cave. Years of administrative support jobs and her love of romance provide a solid base for her work as an editor for an electronic publishing house. A native northern Californian, Layla has relocated to Oregon, southern California and Texas following her husband’s career adventures. Along the way, they raised three children to adulthood and continue to guide a teenager on her path. www.LaylaChase.com
By day, Shayla Kersten is a mild-mannered accountant. By night, she's a writer of sexy romances. Torn between genres, Shayla writes erotic stories about hot heroes and their sexy women, as well as hot men and their passionate heroes for Ellora's Cave, Liquid Silver, Black Lace and Kensington Aphrodisia. A native of Arkansas, Shayla spent four years in the Army as a missile specialist, stationed in Germany and Oklahoma. After her enlistment was up, she spent eleven years in New York City taking a bite out of the Big Apple. Even her love of theatre and the nightlife of the big city couldn't cure terminal homesickness for the Natural State. In 1995, she returned to her roots in Arkansas. Shayla now divides her time between her mother, her spoiled rotten dogs, her dratted day job and her obsession-writing. And no, her mother doesn't know what she writes. That's between Shayla, her dogs and her readers!
