Stacey Getz:
Stacia Kaywood dabbles in all areas of romantic fiction from historical to paranormal to contemporary with heaps of fiery spice tossed in to keep the readers drooling for more. Her greatest fear is someone demanding that she pick a genre and stick with it! Her first novel, Bathed in Moonlight, is a historical romance set at the end of World War II. She is currently wrapping up edits for her first Regency Romance, Stealing Annabelle, Book 1 of Belles and Rogues, with an expected release in the summer of 2024. Short stories are available through Medium including Haunting Jasmine featuring mystery and the sexiest ghost imaginable, office romances that will singe the panties right off your favorite coworker, and age gap romances that have people wondering what exactly goes on in those backyard toolsheds.
Stacia currently resides in Kansas City, the Missouri side naturally, enjoying copious amounts of BBQ, Mexican food, and the greatest Austrian cuisine this side of Vienna. She’s a voracious reader who never sticks with a genre, but if it is a historical romance, it always worms its way to the top of her to-be-read pile. Traveling fuels her creative passion, allowing her to find inspiration in paintings, architecture, and real-life stories. If she isn’t writing, she is baking or plotting her next series.

Vice President and Program Chair
Michelle Grey
Michelle’s love affair with romance began the summer before high school when she discovered her mom’s Harlequin collection. The feeling of joy from experiencing those happily-ever-afters has stayed with her ever since.
Now she writes stories about strong women with strong passions, sexy swoon-worthy heroes, and the twists of fate that bring them together and try to tear them apart. She hopes to ignite the same spark of joy for her readers that caught fire in her that long ago summer.
When she’s not writing, reading, or voicing a novel, Michelle spends most of her time hanging out with her favorite humans. With marriages and babies and puppies, the boisterous group seems to grow every year, and she wouldn’t have it any other way.
Michelle loves to hear from her readers so drop her a note on Facebook or Instagram, or on her website.

Secretary
Darlene Nicholson
Darlene was born and raised in Southern California, moved to Georgia in her mid-twenties, and now lives in the middle of Kansas with her husband of thirty years and their three fur babies. Her time is spent volunteering for her church, helping her mom and mom-in-law, and doing her best to turn the characters, quests and adventures running rampant in her head into stories she can share with others.
For Darlene, nothing is better than getting lost in a story where the settings and characters come alive in your mind. Like Linus with his blanket, books have always been her security blanket. She truly never goes anywhere without a book.
When she was little, her mother instilled a love of stories in her by reading to her every night. After she started reading for herself, her mother took her to the library and she discovered “The Grey King” by Susan Cooper, the “Wizard of Oz” series by L. Frank Baum, and “The Phantom Tollbooth” by Norton Juster, to name a few. Years later she stumbled across a copy of “The Flame and the Flower” by Kathleen Woodiwiss in a neighbor’s bookshelf and her love of romance novels was born.
In the years following, her tastes have expanded to include suspense, mystery, and paranormal. Her goal is to combine all of them along with a loving dose of romance into her in-progress paranormal romantic suspense novel.
