Judy Kentrus
Hi, I’m Judy Kentrus. I write Contemporary Romance, Romantic Suspense, Sweet
Romance, Fantasy Romance, Rom-Com, Later-in-Life Romance, and Historical
Romance.
I’ve always been a romantic at heart. I married my high school sweetheart and
live in the Poconos of Pennsylvania. We have two grown children who have given
us six grandchildren.
We love to travel, and many of the places we’ve visited have inspired me to use
them as a storyline. When I’m not helping couples find their happily ever after, I’m
in the kitchen baking, especially cookies. My family and friends have dubbed me
the cookie queen.
My stories are fun, sexy romances that make you laugh, cry, and fall in love.

R.C. Stephens
As far back as R.C. Stephens can remember she was a sucker for a good romance. Of course there had to be a prince charming even if he ultimately was a dark knight and there had to be a happy ending.
She watched the movie Dirty Dancing way too many times growing up and Jean Claude Van Damme movies too. Go figure!
After years of saying she would write a book one day, she finally put pen to paper and carved out the plot line for what would eventually become the best selling Twisted Series. Now R.C. is just finishing up her tenth book and can’t seem to stop the stories running through her mind. Visit R.C. on her Facebook page to find out what’s new in her life and what releases she has coming up.
