romance. In 2008 her book Liberating Lacey won first place in the

Julie Miller
is an award-winning author--with a National Readers Choice Award, a Daphne

her office. She’s been a winner or finalist in several other contests,
including the Golden Heart, CataRomance.com for Best Intrigue, and Romantic

She started her career writing action-packed paranormals for Dorchester, and

Julie joined the Harlequin/Silhouette family when her first Intrigue,
ONE GOOD MAN, was published in 2000. Since then, she has crafted the
best-selling, award-winning Taylor Clan series for Intrigue, as well as its
equally successful spin-off series, THE PRECINCT. While she
continues to write about cops and crime scenes for Intrigue, Ms. Miller now
also writes for Harlequin Blaze--where her romantic suspense books get a
steamier twist, and her military heroes have been especially popular. She
has also written for continuities and other special projects at

Waldenbooks bestseller lists.
With well over a
million copies of her stories in print worldwide, this author of more than

Mystery-Romantic Suspense sub-genre chapter of RWA. And, of course, her
biggest supporters are her husband and son--and smiling guard dog, Maxie!
Born and raised in Missouri, Ms. Miller is the daughter of a veteran Marine
turned teacher turned ace-carpenter in his retirement, and a mom who is also
retired from teaching and has become her best friend. She graduated from the
University of Missouri-Columbia with a degree in Education. She also
attended the University of Nebraska-Kearney and taught middle and senior
high school English and Speech for fifteen years. Now she resides in Grand
Island, Nebraska, where she still teaches part-time and dabbles in theater
and music in addition to writing her books, spoiling her dog, being a wife
and the best mom her son ever had!

A bookworm from the age of ten,
Robin L. Rotham lived vicariously through daring, romantic heroines for
nearly twenty years, dreaming all the while of one day writing her own
romance novels, as well as her own happily ever after.
When she finally found her real-life hero, he wasn't quite what--or
where--she expected. Undaunted, she chased him over three states and
four years before he finally swept her off her feet. They’ve been
married for more than ten years, have three children, and live on a farm
in rural Nebraska.
The realities of home and family kept her from fulfilling her other
dream for ten more years, but Robin finally succumbed to the writing bug
in 2005 and cranked out her first novel on a used laptop from eBay in
less than seven weeks. Alien Overnight is her second completed novel.
You can contact Robin at
