Judy has had short stories and poems published electronically and in print, and had a brief stint as editor for ShadowKeep, an emagazine of speculative fiction. She is currently working on a romantic suspense novel and trying to keep her head above water as she does whatever Marianne tells her to do about the website.

Chris is a stay-at-home Mom living in the Southwest who loves to read and write. Her DH likes to say that she went from an Office Manager to a Household Manager and never looked back. He would be right. Being the mother of boys, not much flusters her... which serves her in good stead when dealing with whatever Marianne wants to throw at her.

Michele is a mom, a wife and a part-time office manager a/k/a Jill of All Trades for a legal office.   She lives on the East Coast; the land of the Nor'Easter, lobsters, the Red Sox and the Patriots. 

Wendi loves a good book. If you can't find her reading one, she's probably at the store hunting down one with a hunk on the cover (otherwise known as looking for a new author to try - well so she says). Immersed in the world of books since childhood, she loves finding new worlds and escaping. Living in a menagerie of children and pets, sometimes you can even find her writing.

Cherokee Rose is a avid reader of romance. She can't imagine life without a book. She enjoys many genres of romance including, contemporary, interracial, paranormal and historical. Some of her other interests include traveling, spending time with friends and family, classical music, and just enjoying life in general.

Cherry Blossom was born in Europe, lived in Morocco, and now resides in Texas. She reads, writes, and raises two daughters with the help of her husband of twenty years (although who helps whom do what is sometimes unclear). She has taught college, worked as an interpreter, and is a published author. One thing has remained a constant in her life: shelves overloaded with books in several languages.

Poinsettia love of reading began at an early age. Her mother used to read stacks of books to her when she was a child. From the moment she learned to read, she began filling up her own bookshelves. Now that she’s discovered eBooks, she’s hoping to ease the burden on those shelves.

Poinsettia was bitten by the writing bug in junior high when her English teacher encouraged the students to write creatively in journals for extra credit. Some of her poetry, short stories, and satires have been published, and her first full length romance novel was released last year.  She’s happily married to her high school sweetheart. Even though they don’t have any children yet, they have two dogs, a rat terrier and a pug.

If you believe the stories her mother tells, Poppy was reading proficiently at the age of two -- and can't remember a time she didn't have a book in her hand, so reviewing romance stories is a perfect fit.  She's not picky about genre -- any will do, as long as it includes a Happy Ever After.

Queen Anne’s Lace is an avid reader and writer as well as a proud mother of three little Princess Laces. Her earliest memories revolve around books and constant trips to the library. Studying history and great literature, Queen Anne’s Lace also enjoys traveling in Europe where she continues to expound her knowledge of culture and language. As of now, she is fluent in seven languages including: English, French, Spanish, Italian, Scots Gaelic, Old and Middle English.

Among Rose's earliest memories are telling stories to a captive audience of her pets and making up problems for her dolls to solve. Things haven’t changed much, except now the captive audience includes her husband and children.  Reading and writing help to keep Rose sane, and working as a reviewer is a dream job.

As a young child, she loved reading and writing. Many nights she would wrap up in a blanket, and daydream, while she turned the exciting pages of a book.  Now, as an adult, Native American Romance and Native American mysteries are her passion. She hopes to reveal in her books the uniqueness of the American Indian and feels truly blessed to try and reveal how special the American Indians truly are.

She loves reading a good story, blogging, helping her critique partners, and working with oil pastels. Give her a good country song any day. She loves to watch NASCAR and any other auto racing that takes place on dirt.

Wisteria resides in Texas with her husband and two children. She loves to read a good romance, play with her animals and garden. Her mother, an English teacher, introduced her to romance novels in her early teens and she has been hooked ever since. After leaving her job in the corporate world she decided to try her hand at writing and has found she enjoys it almost as much as reading a good story.

For hobbies Xeranthemum enjoys photography, cooking and gardening but her main hobby is reading -- and she doesn't read just anything.  Her main passion is for most genres of romance, and she reads every chance she gets. So what if mutant dust bunnies have set up residence in her ever growing "keeper pile"?  Now here she is, a reviewer for LASR. For a romance reader, that is a perfect HEA.
