Hope Welsh
I write books. I've always been a writer. I know it's cliche but I started writing almost as soon as I learned to read. I wrote a play for school--in the third grade--that they put on for Christmas that year. I've never quite forgiven my sister for getting married that night. I missed my own production!
I've worked in various fields throughout my career. I was a cop, EMT, photographer, journalist, high school English teacher for special education, and most recently, a published author.
I enjoy using the skills I've learned in those jobs in my writing. A little less research is needed when I write books with police or medical information.

Caroline Bell Foster
When I described myself to my friends I called myself an introvert and they laughed so hard I should really be offended.
I also consider myself to be very lucky as although born in Britain, I spent my formative years mostly in Kingston Jamaica with a long detour through Toronto and Nairobi. I married my college sweetheart and we have two kids a rabbit and a cat. I LOVE cats.
I've come full circle and live in Nottingham, just 12 miles from where I was born.
My writing reflects all that I am and where I've been. I love mixing cultures and seeing what happens.
When at the age of fifteen an upperclassman slipped me my first romance novel, I became immediately engrossed in the romance genre. Years later when I discovered that there were romance novels written by African-American women with characters that looked like me, I nearly lost my mind! Searching my local bookstores for my favorite authors became an enjoyable pastime. Today I have an extensive library of romance novels that just keeps growing and growing.
My love for the genre and a need to find a place of escape is what encouraged me to write my first novel, A Special Summer in 2008. After receiving positive feedback from readers eager to know what was going to happen next with the characters, I was inspired to write the sequel, When Love Comes Around, and before I knew it, the Love Conquers All Series was born. From this series Second Chance at Love was nominated for an Emma Award for E-book of the Year. Currently I’m working on a new series entitled Love at Last.
Although reading and writing are near and dear to my heart, being a wife, mother, nurse practitioner , and member of Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc. bring me the most joy.
