Speakers: V.L. Locey, Catherine Maiorisi and Jodi Payne
Event Moderator: Maria Cox
V.L. Locey is
a USA Today Bestselling Author penning LGBTQ hockey romance that skates into
sinful pleasures. She loves worn jeans, yoga, belly laughs, Dr. Who/Torchwood,
walking, reading and writing lusty tales, Greek mythology, the New York
Rangers, comic books, and coffee. (Not necessarily in that order.) She shares
her life with her husband, her daughter, one dog, two cats, a flock of assorted
goofy domestic fowl, and one Jersey steer. When not writing spicy romances, she
enjoys spending her day with her menagerie in the rolling hills of Pennsylvania
with a cup of fresh java in hand. Visit her at http://vllocey.com/
Catherine Maiorisi is an accidental romance
writer. Until she wrote a short story to create the backstory for the love
interest in her NYPD Detective Chiara Corelli mysteries, Catherine had never
read any romance and hadn't considered writing it. To her surprise, "The
Fan Club" turned out to be a romance and was included in the Best Lesbian
Romance of 2014 edited by Radclyffe. Since then Catherine has published four
lesbian romance novels--Matters
of the Heart, No
One But You, Ready
for Love and Taking
a Chance on Love-and four romance short stories. The Disappearance of Lindy
James, a family drama coming November 2021, takes the
characters in Taking
a Chance on Love beyond the HEA. Catherine is an active member
of Sisters in Crime, Mystery Writers of America and The Golden Crown Literary
Society. Visit Catherine on Facebook as Catherine Maiorisi, on Twitter at
@CathMaiorisi and on her website www.catherinemaiorisi.com.
Jodi Payne takes herself way too
seriously and has been known to randomly break out in song. Her men are
imperfect but genuine, stubborn but likable, often kinky, and frequently their
own worst enemies. They are characters you can't help but fall in love with
while they stumble along the path to their happily ever after. For those
looking to get on her good side, Jodi's addictions include nonfat lattes,
Malbec and tequila any way you pour it. Visit her at https://jodipayne.net/
