AUTHOR Bios and Links:
Jill Jaynes began her love affair
with romance when she was a teenager growing up in Southern California,
spending many a late-night under the covers with a flashlight and good romance
novel. Today she writes stories with
happy endings her own way--with a dash of magic that means anything can happen.
When she’s not writing, you can find her wine-tasting or hiking with her
awesome husband, plotting her next story with her writer-daughter or working at
her day job in her spare time.
Shauna Roberts writes historical
fiction, science fiction, romance, and fantasy and is a graduate of the Clarion
Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers’ Workshop. Her publications include more
than a thousand nonfiction articles, three nonfiction books, several short
stories, two novelettes, and three novels (Like Mayflies in a Stream,
historical fiction, 2009; Claimed by the Enemy, historical fiction with
romantic elements, 2014; and Ice Magic, Fire Magic, fantasy with romantic
elements, 2015).
A.G. Reid developed a love for
romance novels while serving in the military. It helped keep him grounded. He
now writes romantic stories with a paranormal twist. Enjoy his short story Mr.
Valentine Comes to Town in the romance anthology, Secrets Of Moonlight Cove.
Barb DeLong loves all things romance,
animals and light-hearted, so she combines the three into her contemporary and
paranormal stories. She has published a short story in Romancing the Pages
anthology, Secrets of Moonlight Cove anthology, and is currently working on
another short story plus a three-book paranormal romance series.
Janna Roznos writes about the
middle-ages: middle-aged women that is! Second chances, life changes and starting
over are themes she continues to explore in her writing. Her short story,
Second Time Around for Secrets of Moonlight Cove is her first published work.
Kathleen Rowland is devoted to giving her
readers fast-paced, high-stakes suspense with a sizzling love story sure to
melt their hearts. Some are sweet:
Lily’s Pad within the Secrets of Moonlight Cove anthology, but a sizzling hot
example is Deadly Alliance from Tirgearr Publishing.
MY REVIEW OF
THE SECRETS OF MOONLIGHT COVE
These six
stories are a clever cross-section of the romance genre. Although some stories
captured my interest more than others, I enjoyed each of them. My favorite was Lily’s Pad, but Maggie’s Mystery Man was a close second, possibly because I used to
work for a newspaper. In fact, I believe readers will enjoy this anthology no
matter what their usual choice of romance.
Once Upon a Love Letter and Second Time Around are charming stories. I was not as big a fan of Mr. Valentine Comes To Town, but that
is a personal choice and not because there was anything wrong with the story
that opens and closes the anthology. Surprise
Deliveries told me a little more detail than I wanted to know about jewelry
making, but the story was good. All in all, I give the anthology 5 stars. The anthology left me wishing
I could travel to Moonlight Cove for my own vacation.
