Camille recently left an award-winning real estate career in San Antonio to become a full-time writer.  Along with her husband of twenty years, she home schools their four children. She has a bucket list that is never-ending, and uses her adventures to inspire her writing. She’s lived in Texas, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and California, and spends enough time in Hawai’i to feel like a local. She’s traveled to four continents (so far), and met Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II.

She just about fainted when she had a chance to meet her musical idol, Paul McCartney, too. Camille studied political science in college, but found working on actual campaigns much more fun. She overdoses on goodies at farmers markets (justifying them by her support for local bakeries) and belts out Broadway tunes whenever the moment strikes. There’s almost nothing she wouldn’t try, so long as it does’t involve heights, roller skates, or anything illegal.

“The Memory of Us” is Camille’s debut novel.  Her most recent release, “Before the Rain Falls” is available now.

Whether the story calls for immersion in history, the always-volatile corporate world or the demanding environment of journalism, Jo-Ann Power brings her expert writing talent to draw readers into exciting, realistic worlds. She is a master with words wheter she's writing mysteries, thrillers, good old fashion romance, or in the erotica world as her alter-ego, Cerise DeLand.

Even with the multitude of awards, this amazing woman has found the best accolades she's ever received have been from readers. 

She writes in her Amazon Author Bio that " I challenge myself constantly to write books that thrill my heart." And her readers agree, she is amazing.

Her historical romance, Heroic Measures, tells the story of one of the 10,000 American women who volunteered to serve in WWI and presently, Jo-Ann serves as the WWI curator for national WWI Army Nurse Corps.

Her latest erotica book, No Getting Over You is available now.

A historical novel based on the poignant, real-life odyssey of Lucía Zárate (1864-1890), the smallest woman in the world. We follow the adventures of diminutive Lucía and her governess Zoila as they grapple with life and death on their bumpy sideshow journey in America and Victorian England.

Holly grew up in the small town of Dripping Springs, Texas, where she was blessed to live in the country. During many summer days she spent racing her horse bareback, then finding a great shade tree and taking a nap on the back of her horse. Whenever Holly wasn’t riding her horses, or competing in Horse Shows, she was found with pen and paper in hand, writing out the romantic love stories of the wild west.

Holly’s love for writing began from the moment she knew how to put words on paper, and she hasn’t stopped since. Having found true love in her own life, Romance has always been a passion for her.

When Holly moved to San Antonio to be closer to her husband’s family, she had the unique opportunity to work in an old building that was close to the Alamo. This location actually had basements and underground tunnels connecting the buildings. The exciting history of Texas and the Alamo and being able to work in a historic building dating back to the 1800’s inspired Holly to write about the Texas Revolution, and has evolved into a series all about Texas becoming the great State it is.

Today, Holly finds herself quite content at home nestled in a small community just south of San Antonio, with her husband and two children. On the family’s 80 acre ranch, surrounded by cattle during the day and the howling of coyotes by night, Holly has endless inspiration for her writing.

Her first book, Texas Conquest, is out now.

Laurie has a not-so-secret love for characters who make her laugh, cry, and who linger in her mind long after the story ends. Laurie’s habit of daydreaming has gotten her into a few scrapes and launched her to take up her dream of writing. Finally, she can put all those stories in her head to rest as she brings them to life on the page. Laurie loves to write, read, bake, travel and discover new adventures. 

Although she's from New England, she now calls Texas her home.

Love Inspired and Indie writer Jolene Navarro knows about Texas.
