Here’s the scoop on the attending authors:
Moderator:
Christine London / Spicy Contemporary Romance with a Brit twist; Phaze Books at Phaze.com , Awe Struck Publishing
It hit her - write a thank you note to your muse! So what if you've never met him - only knew of him via the media? So what if he doesn't read all the mail he gets through his fan mail screeners? It felt like the universe had connected them in some weird, mysterious way, so why not?...Go for it!
Thus, the idea for Christine’s first novel was born. She was officially bitten and possessed. All the hours spent as a teacher writing innumerable newsletters, parent communiqués, professional articles and persuasive epistles took an immediate detour into the wonderful world of romance. In what other pursuit can a woman lose all track of time seeking the ultimate truth ~ in the end, love is what really matters.
Christine London was born in Chicago, Illinois, but left the long winters of the Midwest as a child to find her roots in the sun and charm of California, both North and South. Her adopted home became Great Britain when she spent a year of college in the east end of London with three male flat mates; one from each country on the main island. Her fascination and love affair with all things British has grown over the years, facilitated by summers spent trading houses. To date she has penned four electronically available books, two of which have been put into print. One further print and a brand new electronic book are due mid 2010.

Panel:
JoAnn Smith Ainsworth lushly sensual sweet romance
“Courage makes ordinary people extraordinary”
When JoAnn carried wood as a pre-teen so her Great Aunt Martha could stoke up the iron stove to prepare dinner, she wasn’t thinking, “I could use this in a novel someday.” Yet, the skills she learned from her horse-and-buggy ancestors translate into backdrops for her historical romance and paranormal suspense novels. Believing it’s never too late to create your dream, she resurrected a life-long desire to write when the dot.com bust threw her into early retirement. In 2009, she published—both e-released and in trade paperback—two medieval romantic suspense novels, MATILDA’S SONG and OUT OF THE DARK, with Samhain Publishing Ltd. Both debut novels received 4 stars from RT Book Reviews.

Shelley Bates YA inspirational
Award-winning author Shelley Adina wrote her first teen novel when she was 13. The literary publisher to whom she sent it rejected it, but he did say she knew how to tell a story. That was enough to keep her going through the rest of her adolescence, a career, a move to another country, a B.A. in Literature, an M.A. in Writing Popular Fiction, and countless manuscript pages.
Shelley is a world traveler and pop culture junkie with an incurable addiction to designer handbags. She writes books about fun and faith--with a side of glamour. Between books, Shelley loves traveling, playing the piano and Celtic harp, watching movies, and making period costumes. American Christian Fiction Writers 2009 Book of the Year finalist
