I love these guys and gals. They've been an amazing support network over the past few years, and they're all talented writers at various points in their career paths. So without further delay, let me introduce you to my posse:
Darke ConteurDarke Conteur is an writer at the mercy of her Muse. Author of stories in several genres, she prefers to create within the realms of the three 'S'; Science Fiction, the Supernatural, and Steampunk. Some with erotic elements. She has stories published in several online magazines including Bewildering Stories and Aphelion. When not busy writing, she looks after one husband, one wannabe rock star, three cats, and one ghost dog. Darke blogs Here, Twitters Here, & plays Facebook games Here.
Young adult writer Angela Cook lives a very unexciting, but never boring (if that makes sense), life with her husband and two children just outside of Detroit. When she's not working or going blind from staring at a blinking cursor, she can be found driving unappreciative kids to and from orthodontist appointments and soccer practices in her *cringes* minivan. (p.s. her next vehicle is sooo not going to have sliding doors.) Angela can be found at angelavcook.blogspot.com and on Twitter at @AngelaVCook.

Bethany and her husband Terry live in San Diego with their two daughters and a chocolate Labrador who has no consideration for personal space. She writes Young Adult novels because the feelings that come with life’s ‘first’ times are too good not to relive again and again. Bethany eats too much guacamole, thrives on tear-inducing laughter, and is still waiting for Jake Ryan to show up at her door.
Check out Bethany's website here, and tweet her here.
Young Adult fiction author of Dare Me, Tap Out, and This Side of Normal, as well as a high school English teacher. I married my high school sweetheart, and together we are raising two daughters in Upstate, NY. Kate McKean of the Howard Morhaim Literary Agency is my amazing agent.

Mary Frame is a full time mother and wife with a full time job. She has no idea how she manages to write novels, except that it involves copious amounts of wine.
She doesn't enjoy writing about herself in third person, but she does enjoy reading, writing, dancing, and damaging the ear drums of her co-workers when she randomly decides to sing to them.
She lives in Reno, Nevada with her husband, two children and a border collie named Stella. Find her on her blog, Twitter, or Facebook.

A.G. HowardA.G. Howard was inspired to write SPLINTERED while working at a school library. She always wondered what would've happened had the subtle creepiness of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland taken center stage, and she hopes her darker and funkier tribute to Carroll will inspire readers to seek out the stories that won her heart as a child.When she's not writing, A.G.'s pastimes are reading, rollerblading, gardening, and family vacations which often include impromptu side trips to 18th century graveyards or condemned schoolhouses to appease her overactive muse.

Precy Larkins Precy Larkins is a mother by day, a dreamer by night, and a writer in between. She grew up in the Philippines, a country steeped in superstitions and rumors of enchanted beings roaming the woods. She now lives in Utah, where she still occasionally hunts for fairies, with her husband and three kids. When she’s not teaching her preschooler how to tie his shoelaces, she writes stories that transport her to unexplored places.
Precy maintains a blog and a Twitter account, where her friends know her affectionately by her nickname, Cherie. Her Young Adult Contemporary Fantasy novel, HIDDEN, is a story of a girl battling demons in her head only to find out they are real. With dark magick and soul-suckers on the loose, and a boy who can’t be trusted, she must use her visions to survive the world hidden beyond her own.
Kerri ManiscalcoKerri Maniscalco grew up in a small town just outside of New York City where her love of the arts was fostered from an early age. When she’s not reading or writing young adult novels, she can be found roaming city streets armed with her favorite journal, drinking entirely too much green tea, or in her kitchen where she’s a crazy foodie at heart. She currently splits her time between New York and Knoxville. Her writing is represented by Barbara Poelle of the Irene Goodman Literary Agency.

Writer & artist by day, actor by night. Or something like that. I'm not a crazy person, I just play one on TV. No, I'm kidding. I'm totally a crazy person.
