\"Monica\"MONICA MARIER<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The theme for the \u2018cast this week came at Monica\u2019s suggestion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Monica <\/b>is a caffeinated stay-at-home mom, artist, writer, composer and eccentric. Her debut novel Must Love Dragons<\/b> is came out through Hunt Press September 2010. She writes a column on obesity in America for Frum Forum<\/a> and draws\/writes webcomics for the company she co-created: Tangent Artists<\/a>. Monica lives in the D.C.

\"LMSTULL\"L.M. STULL<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Originally a Washington, DC native, L.M. Stull now resides in Southern Virginia. She has always been a creative person and studied classical piano and dance from a young age.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the day you will find her chained to a desk at a law firm. Yes, she works for lawyers. Now you understand why she writes about creatures . . . Boom! At night she channels her inner creative monster and writes (sorry, she doesn’t turn into a werewolf or anything).<\/span><\/p>\n

Her debut paranormal romance novel, Memoirs of a Monkey<\/a>,<\/i> is scheduled to be released Spring 2011:<\/span><\/p>\n

When she’s not writing or feverishly taking orders from attorneys, she laces up and runs (and sometimes drinks wine…yeah, okay maybe more than sometimes).<\/span><\/p>\n

There are several ways you can go about stalking her on the web if your little heart so desires: Twitter<\/a>, Facebook<\/a>, Goodreads<\/a> (Hint: she’ll totally think you’re awesome if you add her upcoming books to your to-read pile) and of course her really cool Website<\/a>. She also runs the Fellow Writer’s group on Facebook.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Nya\"NYA RAWLYNS<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Nya prefers the dark and gritty side of storytelling: dark urban fantasy, romance\/erotica and action-adventure. Her novella, a contemporary romance, Sculpting David came out in Feb. from Red Sage and of course plays against her preferred type. She has a novel, Portals: Spar with the Devil, due out late spring from PfoxChase.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"MMUNSON\"MATTHEW MUNSON<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Bio: Matthew is a civil servant, often seen vaguely shuffling bits of paper around from one bit of his desk to the next before mumbling something about “character development” and sloping off to write – which is his first love. He’s been published in a flash fiction anthology, some medical journals and two fiction magazines. As long as people keep foolishly accepting his work, he will continue writing – you have been warned.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sachula32011\"J. D. ROBINSON<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

J.D. is an anime and manga addict, just trying to get the voices out of her head. She tends to write mostly Urban Fantasy and Paranormal, but dabbles in Horror and traditional Fantasy as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"ebface\"EDEN BAYLEE<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Eden writes erotica, provocative stories incorporating all her favorite things: travel; culture; and sex. Sometimes there\u2019s romance, sometimes not. Sometimes there\u2019s a happy ending, sometimes not. What is consistent are the multi-dimensional characters who grow and change as the stories progress. Sex is the backdrop, but a very important element in their evolution.  She left a long and distinguished career in banking to become a full-time writer.  Her first book, Fall into Winter, a book of four erotic novellas, is currently available via AMAZON, Barnes & Noble, and other sites located on her website.<\/span><\/p>\n
