PictureCiara St James
I'm a sassy Libra bookaholic who has been reading since I was six years old.
I love the written word and numerous genres, but romance has always been
my favorite! I devoured books like it was food.

I grew up in Rural southeastern Ohio in a village of 4000 people. Then I married
and went to San Diego where the population was several million, quite the
change I can tell you!


Today, I live in beautiful TN. And I'm ruled by two pugs who try to get me to
stop writing and be their sofa. If I don't read every day, I become antsy.
But with the writing, I have to wait and make Sunday my day to read for pleasure.


2019 I took the plunge and quit my nursing job to dedicate my time to writing. It had been a lifelong dream.
I find I like all romances but have a particular love for steamy romances that have danger, alpha males and
strong females and sometimes suspense. Currently, I've been writing Motorcycle Romances and an ex-military group
but I plan to do others. My biggest dream would be to have others read and receive joy from my books as I have
from several of my favorite authors! Please let me know what you think of my works.


In 2023 I'll be branching out into the mafia genre. In collaboration with Cee Bowerman and Mirrah McGee,
we'll be bringing three different mafia groups to our readers. They'll be friends and loosely associated.
​If you'd like to know what's happening with that world, check out our Facebook page called Covenant of Ascent.

Thank you and respectfully,
Ciara St James

PictureRobyn Peterman
NYT and USA Today best selling author, Robyn Peterman writes because the people inside her head won’t leave her alone until she gives them life on paper. She writes snarky, sexy, funny paranormal and snarky, sexy, funny contemporaries.

Her addictions include laughing really hard with friends, shoes (the expensive kind), Target, Coke (the drink LOL) with extra ice in a Yeti cup, bejeweled reading glasses,
her kids, her super-hot hubby and collecting stray animals.

A former professional actress, with Broadway, film and T.V. credits, she now lives
in the south with her family and too many animals to count. Writing gives her
peace and makes her whole, plus having a job where she can work in her
sweatpants works really well for her.
