AC Katt

Publishers: Torquere Books, Eternal Press

AC Katt was born in New York City’s Greenwich Village.  She remembers sitting at the fountain in Washington Square Park listening to the folk music while they passed the hat.  At nine, her parents dragged her to New Jersey where she grew up, married and raised four children and became a voracious reader of romantic fiction.  At one time she owned over two thousand novels, until she and her husband took themselves and the cat to New Mexico for their health and its great beauty.

Now, most of AC’s books are electronic (although she still keeps six bookcases of hardcovers), so she never has to give away another book.  AC is new to both GLBT and to writing being, as she claims, a late bloomer, however, she claims to have found her niche writing GLBT romance.  In October of 2008 she published her first piece, a short story for Torquere Press’s Wedding Sipz Blitz by the name of A Permanent Arrangement. Her first novel, The Sarran Plague, an Erotic Science Fiction Menage a Trois, was released from Eternal Press on April 7, 2008 to great reviews.  She hangs out at ACKatt.com; where she keeps her journal — This is a very opinionated kitty and at ACKattauthor.com where you may find snippets of her releases and some from works in progress.  There is a special website for her novel, The Sarran Plague, called TheSarrans.com which gives a reader some of the background and history of  the planet Sarran and her Sci Fi novel.

In the works is a live chat — More Than Erotica, where AC and Guests will discuss the genre and the realities portrayed in its pages.

K.A. Mitchell discovered the magic of writing at an early age when she learned that a carefully crayoned note of apology sent to the kitchen in a toy truck would earn her a reprieve from banishment to her room. Her career as a spin control artist was cut short when her family moved to a two-story house, and her trucks would not roll safely down the stairs. Around the same time, she decided that Chip and Ken made a much cuter couple than Ken and Barbie and was perplexed when invitations to play Barbie dropped off.  Now multi-published in her favorite flavor of romance, she’s happy to find readers and writers who like to play in her world.

An ardent fan of fantasy and science fiction sagas, Jet prefers to live in a world of imagination where dragons are real, elves are commonplace, vampires are just people with special diets and lycanthropes live next door. In her own mind, she’s the spunky heroine who gets the best of everyone and always attracts the lean, muscular lads.

In real life, Jet lives in southern California with her boyfriend, his daughter and father and too many cats. She has a bachelor’s degree in acting, but her loathing of auditions has kept her out of the limelight. So she turned to computers and currently works in product management for a software company, because even in real life, she can’t help but want to create something out of nothing.

I spend most of my time working a nine to five and traveling when I can to new and wondrous places that I can incorporate in my stories. I do have love in my life thanks to my life partner, Hou, and our cat, Judo graciously lets us live with him in his house. So, all in all, I have a full and happy life.

Pam lives with her husband, daughter, and black cat. She collects dragons and swords, and enjoys going for walks in old cemeteries. She’s also accident prone and not allowed to operate heavy machinery. That’s okay. She’d rather be on the computer.

GH Worth

G. H. Worth loves writing erotic M/M contemporary/paranormal romances, but occasionally delves into the M/F romantic genre when characters start screaming in her head. She’s an avid reader, who firmly believes `there’s no such thing as too many books’, a statement her non-reading, but supportive husband, just as firmly disagrees with.  In the real world, she’s a nurse, working in a local Emergency Room.  Her hobbies vary and include reading, knitting, watching her husband work in the garden, baking, keeping the dog out of trouble, and finding local places of interest to visit.
