As a person who fell in love with books before she could read and created stories before she could write, Marie Hobbs is an avid reader. As a woman who is a hopeful romantic, she has read a lot of romance novels. As a Christian, she searched for stories with the same values as mine. As she grew older (and wiser), it became more difficult to find characters she could relate to and books that she could enjoy from cover to cover. She wanted to see herself, her friends, and her family reflected in the books she was reading. People of color who are thriving in their careers, growing in God, and approaching life with humor and grace – as the main characters. Since she couldn’t find enough of the books she wanted to read, she started writing them. Blending real-life experiences, storylines conceived over the years, and creative license, the Unexpected Love Series was born – later-in-life inspirational romances with people of color as the main characters. The first two books in the series - Love Next Door (novella) and Better Than Good (novel) - were released in January 2023 and are available on Amazon.

Angela Greenman is an internationally recognized communications professional. Her career has spanned the spectrum from community relations in Chicago to US and world governments’ public communications on nuclear power. She has been an expert and lecturer with the International Atomic Energy Agency for over a decade, a spokesperson for the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and a press officer for the Chicago Commission on Human Relations, the City's civil rights department. After traveling to twenty-one countries for work and pleasure, she decided it was time to seriously pursue her love of writing. She wants to share the exciting places she has visited, and the richness of the cultures she has experienced.

In a September 27, 2021, Writer Unboxed post by Erika Liodice “Travel & Writing: Exploring the Creative Connection”, Angela shared how travel inspires her writing:

“For thriller author Angela Greenman, whose debut novel The Child Riddler is forthcoming, it was the Prague Castle that left her speechless and roused her inner storyteller. “I was overwhelmed by the atmosphere and its massive complex,” said Angela. “Inhaling the towers’ cold musty smell imbued me with its history—the ruthless discipline of the castle archers at the narrow windows; the fear that the torture victims must have felt—and my muse went into overdrive, inspiring a major ‘chase’ scene that takes place in the castle.

Angela used the details that moved her, like the tall graceful blue bottle of Bulgaria’s national drink, rakia, and the glow of Austria’s green and blue domes in the evening light, to weave an elegant “background tapestry” that contrasted her characters’ devious plotting.”
