Suzie WebsterWhy did Suzie Webster start writing romance novels at age forty-nine? To inspire women to realize that they are the owners of their life and that it is possible at any age to turn their story into a journey filled with laughter, steamy romance, and adventure, just like their favorite book. Throughout her many careers from northern Virginia to Charleston, Suzie has always loved mentoring and supporting other women who are trying to live the life they want and deserve. She has loved writing since childhood, and weaving stories is another way to share the message that love always wins. She is supported in her own journey by her very patient and tolerant husband, Drew, who is always the inspiration for her sexy leading men, and her three kids, Ryleigh, Percy, and Reese, who never fail to keep her on her toes and put her in her place. When she’s not traveling (her favorite hobby), she can be found curled up with a good book and a tasty cocktail, preferably tequila. Revival on King Street Seduction on Sullivan's Ballad of the Angel Oak Holy City Heartbreak Perfect for Me Stay for Me HM ThomasHM Thomas grew up in a southern town creating worlds bigger and more dramatic than her own. She credits her dad’s nightly story times for her love of the written word and her mom’s devotion to Days of Our Lives for her love of dramatic fiction. HM was writing fan-fiction long before it was a thing, taking the characters from her mom’s soaps or her own books and creating even more twists and turns for them. As she got older, she wrote her own friends into the plots. Some of them are still there. After graduating from Clemson University, HM got her own Happily Ever After and decided to start writing them for her characters as well. She began focusing on romance, oftentimes mixed with suspense. When not writing, HM enjoys traveling and hiking with her husband, three children, and rescue dog. On a good day, she can be found with a book in her hand. On a really good day, there will be sand or a campfire.
