A lifelong Nebraskan, LoRee Peery is the
oldest of seven and grew up on a Nebraska farm. Thanks to her
mother, she learned to read when she was four and has devoured
books since.
LoRee and her husband have tackled some
interesting projects over the course of their married life. For
one, they built the home they live in with their own hands. They
used to want more acres further away from city life, but one day
LoRee realized they had their “greener on the other side of the
fence” already. All it took was removing that fence made of
trees and bushes.
She feels grounded in her sense of place
and considers it a blessing to have lived most of her life in
the country. Published Nebraska writings have appeared in
academic journals and anthologies. Her first inspirational
romance, MOSELLE’S INSURANCE is scheduled to appear soon from
White Rose Publishing.

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.
