She is still in love with Davy Jones from The Monkees.

About M. Stratton

M. Stratton is an International Amazon bestselling author in the romantic suspense and mystery suspense categories for her Storm Series and Bender. She lives in Arizona, which is a big change from where she grew up north of Chicago, Illinois. As an only child she learned to tell herself stories to make the long winters go by quicker while dreaming of summer vacations. Now as an adult she still makes up stories to pass the time, but now she writes them down to share with other people.

Stratton is a self-proclaimed dork who loves to make people laugh. Her inner rock star is always on stage performing to a sold out crowd, but she quiet and shy on the outside. She spends her days plotting new ways to surprise her readers.

About Tara Carr

Tara Carr lives in Arizona with an especially patient partner and several furry children. Another author once told her that if the characters in her head were driving her crazy, it was time to put them on paper. So she did. She hates to cook and do laundry, but she loves to read, write (obviously!), go camping, wander through cemeteries, and listen to music that hasn’t been popular for decades, much louder than her neighbors would prefer. Her books are all standalone, and the only thing they have in common is that they’re all named after songs on her iPod.
