I've always been a bit of a freak. Most kids love Christmas...not for me, thanks. Don't get me wrong, I loved getting presents that came with Christmas, but for me the best holiday of ALL TIME was (and still is) Halloween. I love the freaky, creepy, scary and bizarre--a love I have proudly passed on to my daughter. (For her Sweet 16 she had very definite ideas: the theme was Not-So-Sweet Sixteen.

No housework, laundry, cooking, cleaning, kids, work, stress. All you have to do is eat, sleep and occasionally visit with friends or family.

Like others, I've been meaning to post and finally made it a point to put my introduction here. I'm very pleased to be considered a Missouri author, for unlike others, I don't actually reside within the state. My heart remains behind on a few acres of land in Southern Missouri, so close that I could be into Arkansas within an hour. Which is a good thing, since the Diamond State Romance Authors is

I'm sure there are some other there wondering why my name is listed here and I've not said a peep. Well, the only excuse I have is 24 hours a day is woefully inadequate for all that I have to do.Maybe I should introduce myself?You all have seen me.

Hello! My name is Jae Knight and I am from a swiftly growing small town in Missouri about an hour or so from St. Louis. I've lived here practically all of my life (for twenty four of my twenty five years). I write erotic romance, mostly of the paranormal persuasion. I've always been a sucker for the things that go bump in the night...The first two novels of my paranormal series, "From the Shadows

Hi everyone! I'm Cassandra Gold. I hail from a little town in Missouri less than an hour from St. Louis. I've lived in Missouri all my life, and one thing I've learned is that the old saying "If you don't like Missouri weather, wait a few minutes and it'll change" is 100% true. The last couple of weeks of a hot day followed by cold/rain/gloomy (and then another hot day) have certainly made it

Huh...I don't care for the Rolling Stones but each time I hear/use that phrase I hear that song play in my head...Anyway…My name is Donica Covey and most of my life has been lived in Missouri. (Minus summers in Arkansas, a couple of years in Oklahoma and fifteen in Wisconsin.) Actually, in the same little town. Well, not so little any more!

Yes, I called myself a genre whore--but I mean it in the best way! I write any genre that comes out. So it is no surprise that every story I have epublished is from a different category.

As with anything else, there are a few rules with this blog. Hopefully, they aren't too painful.ELIGIBILITY:You must be a Missouri author, or live in one of the nearby counties, to join. The nearby counties are an option because sometimes you find the house you love just outside of state lines. Or you may work in Mo, but have to live just across the border because your spouse works in another
