Belinda Barnes grew
up in Sand Springs, Oklahoma, in a family that rodeoed and raced cars. A romantic at heart, she spent her teen years writing
about far away lands, castles and princes. After graduation, Belinda answered the call to adventure and traveled to West Berlin,
Germany, where she rode with the British Saddle Club in the stadium built by Hitler for the 1936 Summer Olympics. She also
drove race cars on a quarter-mile dirt track thirty feet from the famous Berlin Wall and frequently traveled through the Communist
sector to go hiking and camping in the Harz Mountains.
Marriage, family and a full-time paralegal job got in the way
of Belinda's writing until 1991 when she decided to steal a few moments each night after putting the kids to bed. In 1999,
Belinda won the Traditional Category of the Golden Heart with a story conceived during an over-night critique/camp out with
other writers and four months later sold that same manuscript to Silhouette Romance. Now, ten years after she started writing
in her spare time, Belinda is hard at work on her tenth book.
Belinda lives in Elm Mott, Texas, with her husband, daughter,
and spoiled cat. She enjoys clogging, painting, reading, country and western music, dancing, fishing, scuba diving, camping,
and getting together with other writers.
In addition to writing romance, Belinda is published in book-length and magazine
nonfiction. She credits her success to her father who raised her to have the courage to follow her dreams.
Gail Dayton
started writing about the time she could compose a logical sentence,
at about nine years old. But she can't remember a time when she wasn't playing make-believe, rearranging the world into something
more exciting, more fun, more the way she wished it were. With of course, her in the center.
"It's not far from re-plotting books to put myself in
the action to making up stories of my own, and not far from there to writing them down. I just kept going."
She has worked a lot of jobs in her checkered career,
from junior college history instructor, to newspaper editorial staff, to paralegal for a rural prosecutor. Aside from "Mom"--the
job that never ends--She likes writing books the best. Hope you enjoy reading them.
