Hungry for Your Love: An Anthology of Zombie Romance (37 page)

Regina Riley
writes everything from paranormal fables to steampunk chronicles. She prefers to pen complex plots, often with hilarious consequences. When not wasting time goofing around on the Internet, she writes from the heart about life, love, and the merriment of happiness. Her novels and novellas can be found online at Sugar and Spice Press, Phaze, and Lyrical Press. Aside from her wicked imagination, Regina believes her life is pretty pedestrian. She resides in North Carolina, although her roots spread a bit deeper thanks to a military upbringing. She is an identical twin, and has been happily married for thirteen years to a wonderful and giving husband. She also shares her home with a brood of moody cats.

Jaime Saare
is a wife and mom of four rambunctious children, who turned to writing as a way to escape the fulfilling yet oftentimes overwhelming world around her.

When not kid wrangling, catering to the hubs, or writing something horrifying or erotic, she enjoys the simple things in life, including shooting a game of straight eight, listening to her favorite band (NIN), reading an excellent story, or partaking in a good (and she does mean
good
) horror movie.
