All proceeds from sales will
benefit the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer via the Fifty Shades of Pink
team.
FIFTY
SHADES OF PINK team is made up of a group of girlfriends who raise funds
annually to participate in the Avon 2 Day Breast Cancer Walk in Santa Barbara,
CA.
For
one weekend in September, we wake up before the crack of dawn, dress in as much
Pink as humanly possible and prepare to walk for 39.9 miles.
We
suffer and laugh through:
•
Torn
muscles which require surgery
•
Blisters
that are almost covering your entire foot and body parts you never realize you
could get a blister on (ButtCrackGate 2013)
•
Passing
out in the triage medical unit
•
Sleeping
in a tent on the grass
•
Taking
the best mobile showers EVER
•
Limping
like old ladies
•
Cursing
at the curbs to get onto the sidewalk (Walk 39 miles and you will be cursing at
them too).
We
do this all in the hopes that no other Mother, Sister, Aunt or Friend will have
to deal with Breast Cancer.
***Money
raised from the anthology will go towards the 2015 Avon Walk***

When You Want by Ruth Cardello
Ruth Cardello was born the youngest of 11 children in a small city in northern Rhode Island. She spent her young adult years moving as far away as she could from her large extended family. She lived in Boston, Paris, Orlando, New York--then came full circle and moved back to Rhode Island. She now happily lives one town over from the one she was born in. For her, family trumped the warmer weather and international scene.
She was an educator for 20 years, the last 11 as a kindergarten teacher. When her school district began cutting jobs, Ruth turned a serious eye toward her second love- writing and has never been happier. When she's not writing, you can find her chasing her children around her small farm, riding her horses, or connecting with her readers online.
Her third book in the Andrade Series, Maximum Risk is now available for pre-order!

Relinquished by K.A. Hunter
Kimi grew up in the San Gabriel Valley (mostly Alhambra) and still lives in Southern California. She's been married to her high-school sweetheart and prom date for over 22 years and they have two hilarious boys.
When she's not reading or writing, Kimi spends her time in the kitchen trying to come up with vegan meals that don't taste like cardboard. Her family might disagree with this however.
Volunteering is extremely important to her and her family. Together, they work with several local non-profit organizations. A portion of her sales will always go to charity.
Books 1-3 in the Intertwined Hearts series, are available now and book 4, Grafted Vines (Dani & Zachary's story) is anticipated to release in early 2015.
*** UPDATE BY AUTHOR...I have some EXCITING news. I decided to write a new novel under the pen name, K.A. Hunter (will add links when they become available). I'm not hiding behind the name but this novel, and others that will follow, is more raw and definitely grittier than my Intertwined Hearts series. The first 4 chapters have been written into a short story that will appear in an anthology in February 2015 and I anticipate publishing the full novel around July 2015. Those that have read it confirm that it's nothing like what I've written before and they were blown away. Can't even tell you how happy that makes me :D

Insatiable Hunger & Will You Be My Valentine (Two Stories) by Jade C. Jamison
For years, Jade C. Jamison tried really hard to write what she thought was more "literary" fiction, but she found herself compelled to write what you read by her today--sometimes gritty, raw, realistic stories and other times humorous, light stories--but most of the stories she writes revolve around relationships and characters finding their way through life. While she doesn't confine herself to just one genre, nor is there a nice neat label for what she writes, most of her work could be called erotic romance.
She lives in Colorado with her husband and four children.
