Latest Release:

Her heart’s been under the weather.
Every woman dreams of saying “I do.” Jilly Jones did–and years of a deeply imperfect marriage followed. Now living in London and working in a charming bookshop, the free-spirited Jilly is perfectly content with her newfound independence…until she meets a dashing naval officer who sparks her longing for a real happily ever after.

Is new love in the forecast?
Captain Stephen Arrow is just home after years of service, and he’s in no hurry to give up his hard-won freedom. The meddlesome bluestocking Jilly Jones is exactly the kind of woman he doesn’t need…but something about her keeps drawing Stephen back to the bookshop. But will a scandalous chapter in Jilly’s past stand in the way of their heated attraction? For this bachelor, nothing is impossible….

About the Author:

Vicky Dreiling is a confirmed historical romance junkie and Anglophile. Frequent business trips to the UK allowed her to indulge her passion for all things Regency England. Bath, Stonehenge, and Spencer House are among her favorite places. She is, however, truly sorry for accidentally setting off a security alarm in Windsor Castle.  That unfortunate incident led her British colleagues to nickname her “Trouble.”

When she’s not writing, Vicky enjoys reading, films, concerts, and most of all, long lunches with friends. She holds degrees in English literature and marketing. A native Texan, she shares her home with her daughter and a spoiled mini-lop rabbit that lives in a slightly gnawed cardboard cottage.

About the Book:

Lady Julianne Gatewick is in a pickle. It started when her brother’s best friend—for whom she’s long nursed a secret tendre—agreed to act as her guardian for the Season, only to seduce her with a risqué waltz.
But when the music stopped and the expectant ton waited for the Earl of Hawkfield to claim her as his own, he made his disinterest clear. Rather than succumb to humiliation, Julianne does what any recently discarded, wickedly witty young miss would do. She secretly pens a lady’s guide to enticing unrepentant rakes . . . and it becomes the hottest scandal in London.
Every honorable rake knows that friends’ sisters are forbidden. But suddenly Julianne has a spark of mischief in her eyes that Hawk can’t resist. Try as he might to push her away, he spends his days listening for her laughter and his nights dreaming of her kisses. He’s always avoided innocents and their marriage-minded mothers, but has the man least likely to wed finally met his match?

The Founders of RomCon-

Michele Callahan: Take your average 7-year-old small town girl - throw in Sleeping Beauty, a dash of Star Wars, and a pinch of Ghostbusters. Only then will you begin to understand the twisted wanderings of Michele's mind. An author and life-long bookworm, Michele's obsession with all things paranormal began at a very young age. She's worked as a Burger King drive-thru goddess, a receptionist in a law firm, a cashier, a medical/surgical assistant, an anatomy instructor in a cadaver lab, and she enjoyed every minute of it! Married for almost 20 years to her high-school sweetheart, she and her husband have owned their own business for the last 8 years. Michele's current project (other than RomCon) is about a group of people stolen from Death himself, given certain "gifts" and sent on impossible missions to save the world.  Chronicles of the Taken: Red Night is now available for just $.99 for Kindle at Amazon.com.Michele is a founder and Director here at RomCon.    Elaine Levine: Elaine began writing when she was in college. At the time, her son was only a year old. Her dream was to be a stay-at-home mom with a lucrative career as an author. Twenty-four years, a second child, a college degree, and two grandchildren later, she sold her first novel in a two book deal to Kensington Books. Elaine funds her writing addiction with a day job as an application developer in the Lotus Notes technology. You can learn more about her by visiting her website at www.elainelevine.com. Elaine is a founder and Director here at RomCon. What IS a RomCon?-

RomCon® is a FAN convention dedicated 100% to romance and women's fiction.  3 Days. You, Your Friends, and over 70 of your  Favorite Authors chatting like best friends at the coffee shop. What do we do?  We have fun!  We laugh.  We play games and get free stuff.  We line dance, ride mechanical bulls, pose with hunky cover models, tell ghost stories, ask our favorite authors to reveal all their secrets, solve murder mysteries, and giggle like we're 14 again.  We talk BOOKS...hot heroes (and why we love them), which characters we'd like to strangle ourselves, and any other random thing that comes to mind.  We beg our favorite authors for sneak peek intel on whose book is coming next…and sometimes we get it! 
You won’t find a single “workshop” here.  We don’t talk about how to write, sell, or market books.  What you’ll find is Pure Reader BLISS...

About the Author:

Delilah Marvelle spent her youth studying various languages, reading voraciously, and playing the pianoforte. She confesses that here ends the extent of her gentle breeding. She was a naughty child who was forever torturing her parents with countless adventures that they did not deem respectable. Confined to her room on many occasions due to these misadventures, she discovered the quill and its amazing power. Soon, to the dismay of her parents, she rather enjoyed being confined to her room and finished writing her first historical romance (which was a heart stopping 800 pages long...) at the age of 14. You can visit her at her website at www.DelilahMarvelle.com or her blog that explores the naughtier side of history at www.DelilahMarvelle.blogspot.com
