Sarah Mayberry was born in Melbourne, Australia, and is the middle of three children. From the time that she first stole paper from kindergarten and stapled it together to make books, Sarah has always wanted to be a writer. In line with this ambition, on graduation from high school she completed a bachelor of arts degree majoring in professional writing, then sat down to write a book. When inspiration didn't strike, she began to wonder if, perhaps, she needed to live some life first before writing about it.This still left the burning question of how to pay the rent. She found her way into trade journalism, working off the principle that it was better to write anything for a living than nothing at all. Her time there lead to the opportunity to launch a new decorator magazine for one of Australia's major retailers, an invaluable and grueling experience that she found very rewarding.But the opportunity to write fiction for a living soon lured Sarah away. She took up a post as storyliner on Australia's longest running soap, Neighbours. Over two years she helped plot more than 240 hours of television, as well as writing freelance scripts. She remembers her time with the show very fondly - especially the dirty jokes and laughter around the story table - and still writes scripts on a freelance basis.In 2003 she relocated to New Zealand for her partner's work. There Sarah served as storyliner and story editor on the country's top-rating drama, Shortland Street, before quitting to pursue writing full time.Sarah picked up a love of romance novels from both her grandmothers, and has submitted manuscripts to Harlequin many times over the years. She credits the invaluable story structuring experience she learned on Neighbours as the key to her eventual success - along with the patience of her fantastic editor, Wanda.Sarah is revoltingly happy with her partner of twelve years, Chris, who is a talented scriptwriter. Not only does he offer fantastic advice and solutions to writing problems, but he's also handsome, funny and sexy. When she's not gushing over him, she loves to read romance and fantasy novels, go to the movies, sew and cook for her friends. She has also become a recent convert to Pilates, which she knows she should do more often.She would love to hear from readers via her email address at sarahjmayberry@hotmail.com A typical Piscean, award winning USA Today bestselling author, Yvonne Lindsay, has always preferred the stories in her head to the real world - which makes sense since she was born in Middle Earth. Married to her blind date sweetheart and with two adult children, she spends her days crafting the stories of her heart and in her spare time she can be found with her nose firmly in someone else's book.

I remember anxiously awaiting Santa to bring me a typewriter in order to write my first book. But before I could reach for my dreams, my life took a detour. I moved around a bit before settling into the position of statistician by day and wife/mother by night. Each new life adventure added fodder for my fertile imagination. Through it all, I never lost sight of my dream. When at last I had the opportunity to once again put pen to paper, I couldn't stop. As an unpublished writer, I've gone on to win/final in nearly two dozen contests including Harlequin's So You Think You Can Write Contest (2-time finalist), Finally A Bride (winner), and Linda Howard Award of Excellence (finalist). I currently reside in Pennsylvania with my very patient husband, one amazing daughter (the other remarkable daughter has flown the coop to chase her own dreams) and two spoiled rotten cats. When I'm not glued to my laptop (which isn't often) or enjoying some family time, I like reading, cross-stitch, embroidery, quilting, knitting, hockey (Go Pittsburgh Penguins!), and gardening. I love to hear from readers. Please contact me via my Contact Page.
