Meg Maxwell lives on the coast of Maine with her teenaged son, their sweet beagle and newest addition to the family, a black and white cat named Cleo. When she's not writing, Meg is either reading, at the movies, or thinking up new characters and plots on her favorite little beach (even in winter) just minutes from her house. Interesting fact: Meg Maxwell is a pseudonym for author Melissa Senate, whose women's fiction titles have been published in over twenty-five countries. Kimberley Troutte is a New York Times, USA Today and Amazon Top 100 bestselling author and a RITA® nominee. She lives in So. California with her hubby, two sons, wild cat, red iguana, an old snake and any other creatures her guys rescue. Visit her at www.kimberleytroutte.com.
