The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes

About Jennifer Crusie, Eileen Dreyer, Anne Stuart

Jennifer Crusie was researching her dissertation on romance novels when she got sidetracked into writing them. Her first book was published in 1993 and her sixteenth, Don’t Look Down (written with Bob Mayer), in 2006, all of which she considers a minor miracle.

Eileen Dreyer is actually evil twins. As Kathleen Korbel she won her first publishing award in 1987, being named the best new Contemporary Romance Author by Romantic Times. As Eileen Dreyer, she writes medical-forensic suspense, which has garnered her a coveted Anthony Award nomination and multiple USA Today bestsellers. She lives in her native St. Louis with her family, and has pets, but refuses to expose them to the limelight.

Anne Stuart is a grandmaster of the genre, winner of Romance Writers of America’s prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award, survivor of thirty-two years in the romance business, and still just keeps getting better. She’s won numerous awards, appeared on most bestseller lists, and speaks all over the country.  When she’s not traveling, she’s at home in Northern Vermont with her luscious husband of thirty years, an empty nest, three cats and one Springer Spaniel, and when she’s not working she’s watching movies, listening to rock and roll (preferably Japanese) and spending far too much time quilting.
