Candace Blevins has published more than fifty books. She lives with her husband of twenty-four years and their youngest daughter. Their oldest daughter has flown the nest, but frequently comes home for visits. The family’s beloved, goofy, retired racing greyhounds are usually at her side as she writes, quietly keeping her company. Or sometimes not so quietly.
Candace writes urban fantasy, paranormal romance, contemporary BDSM romance, two kick-ass motorcycle club series, and she occasionally delves into dark matter.
Her urban fantasy series, Only Human, gives us a world where weredragons, werewolves, werelions, three different species of vampires, and a variety of other mythological beings exist.
Candace’s seven paranormal romance series are all sister series to the Only Human series, and give some secondary characters their happily ever after.
Her two darker series are also sisters to the urban fantasy books. A Dark(ish) Faerie Tale provides a close-up and personal look at Queen Mab, and the Dark Underbelly series is, as you’d expect, dark and (if you’re a little twisted) oh-so-yummy.
Her contemporary Safeword series gives us characters who happen to have some extreme kinks. Relationships can be difficult enough without throwing power exchange into the mix, and her books show characters who care enough about each other to fight to make the relationship work. Each couple in the Safeword series gives the reader a different take on the lifestyle.

I’m Rose and I’ve been a published author since 2014. I’ve always played with words but never did anything with them until my mother passed away in 2012 after her death I decided I was going to go for it and do what she always talked about. I submitted my first book to Siren in 2013 and the rest was history. I’ve published over thirty books in the romance spectrum since then.
I write stories about alpha males and the women that love them. Check out my webite rosenickolromance.com or my amazon page for all my availble books.
Throughout my life, I’ve lived in Illinois, North Dakota, and Colorado. I now call Florida home. I have a dog that I spoil rotten and a cat that allows me to feed and love her. My only child is in college now.
Mallory Black is the author of sassy, sexy contemporary romances with happily-ever-afters.
In middle school, Mallory discovered the joy of reading and started devouring books of all kinds. But as the only child of the New York Times and USA Today bestselling romance author Shayla Black, Mallory grew up with romance publishing. In college, she began her own love affair with the romance writing world and, with her degree in English/Writing from TCU, decided to pursue a publishing career and embrace her love of storytelling.
Mallory currently lives in North Texas with her incredibly supportive parents and two silly, spoiled tabbies. When she’s not spinning stories in her head, she enjoys reading, hanging out with her boyfriend, listening to music, and spending time with family.
Hello, my name is Erica Frances and I’m fairly new to the cover model world. I am native to Arizona but have lived the majority of my life in New Mexico. I was given the wonderful opportunity to do my first professional photoshoot in November 2021 with model, Brady Cephert and photographer, Jean Maureen Woodfin to whom I am extremely grateful. Currently I have sold two covers, one solo and one with Mr. Cephert. I am a mother of two beautiful daughters and a grandmother to my 4 month old grandson. I am looking forward to retiring May 1, 2023 from my 25 year career with The New Mexico Law Enforcement Academy. Modeling came around at a perfect time in my life and I look forward to working with other models and appearing on other covers in the future.
Six years ago, I followed my dream and started Personal Touch Editing. Working as a full-time Editor, I have been privileged to work with 75+ authors on over 350 published books. I bring a Personal Touch to editing, ensuring the writer’s work says what the writer intends and says it in the writer’s voice. I love words and the millions of stories that can be crafted from them. As an Editor, my job is to enhance the readability of a manuscript by removing the distractions and improving the flow for a better reading experience.
I’ve been married to my best friend and soulmate for 46 years. Together, we raised 4 children, who have blessed us with 11 grandchildren. I went back to college as an adult and graduated with a B.S. in Office Administration, with a minor in Management. After 30+ years in the business world, I have taken my experience and skills and transitioned into my dream job as a literary editor.
When I’m not editing, I love to read, mainly romance. I also love thrift shopping anywhere I can find a deal. My family has always been a priority and fully support me in following my dreams
What is developmental editing?
Developmental editing is a phase in the book publishing process where editors work with authors to resolve “big picture” issues in their manuscripts, including structure, form, plot, and character. Because of its focus on wider story elements, this type of editing normally won’t address sentence-level errors such as punctuation and grammar typos.
Good developmental editing will bear your target audience in mind and assess your work in relation to industry standards and expectations. Only once your manuscript has been revised, reshaped, and developed will it be ready for a copy edit and proofread. But where can you find a developmental editor with the right experience to take your story to the next level?
Jean Maureen Woodfin is a Portraiture, Commercial/Editorial, Events and internationally published,
photographer based in Brightwood, Oregon.
A photographer for 27 years, Jean is passionate about collaborating with models, authors and publishers to create images that grace the covers of books and magazines.
When Jean is not behind her camera or computer she is enjoying the company of her husband of 42 years, 4 grown children and 8 grandchildren. Walking the trails along the river near her house, swinging in the hammock on the front porch, and daydreaming.
Creativity thrives with collaboration, joining minds to forge something real and visual. It’s an honor to have those collaborations used by authors as covers for their storytelling.
A story begins in a moment, captured from a dream, brought into light, pictures created from a memory that can be seen.
