Unlimited Worlds of Romance❤️ DJ lives and plays in the very cool state of New York and she lives close enough to the Big Apple to visit anytime she likes, but far enough away that she doesn't have to hear the chaos of NYC’s nightlife. Best of both worlds. She writes nonfiction and fiction, sci-fi fantasy love stories that cross the boundaries of time and space. Motto: Never too old to do what you love.

I love writing whether I’m writing poems, plays, short stories, cookbooks, grants, newsletters, newspaper articles or full-length novels. Growing up in New England where summers are sweet, but winters are long and cold has given me lots of opportunity to expand my creativity. I have enjoyed: basket weaving, spinning wool, quilting, canning, teaching cooking and traveling. I have been a recipe tester, sailor, farmer, shepherd, cattlewoman, chick herder and Master Gardener. Like many women, I have worked full-time, raised two children, and helped my husband’s career. Finally, I get to make my dream come true. After all, dreams never die, and new doors open every day. Today, I live in sunny Florida with my husband enjoying paradise. In addition to writing novels, I recently took up birding, and photography. My photos have done well in local contests. My stories are about courage, redemption and second chances. Everyone deserves them, don’t you agree? Find my books on Amazon and KU. (KnightGuard Security, Brotherhood Alliance)

Tracy Forgie Koppel writes as Llewella Forgie. She is an award-wining author who creates stories of tenacious women battling injustice and creating their own happily-ever-after. Good classes are her kryptonite. She knows more about murder and duels than one might expect from someone who cannot kill a fly. After resolving to quit taking more classes so she could make the final revisions to her first novel, she signed up for five more. Although she never seems to be able to declare a book-length manuscript ready for publication, she was one of a few developmental editors for the anthology Turning Points which came out in 2021, and she is reprising that role for the anthology Meaningful Conflicts to come out in April 2023. These days she is concentrating on finishing a few historical romances set in a fictitious European kingdom where a tiny percentage of the population has psychic powers which they keep hidden from everyone else. The psychic powers cannot do big and dramatic things—no calling down lightning to destroy one’s enemies—but they still impact the plots. She lives in Chicago, Illinois, with her husband, two college-aged daughters and an overworked Internet router.

Member of RWA, MAUMEE VALLEY ROMANCE WRITERS INC.

My full first name comes from a science fiction novel. My parents, when I was a child, did historical reenactments and were more than pleased when I decided to major in history in college instead of something more useful such as computers or science. After a first failed attempt at being an academic, I graduated with honors from Wichita State University in 2004 as a non-traditional student. My focus of interest was in the post-Alexander world but pre-Roman, called the Hellenistic Age. I also have an unhealthy obsession with ancient Egypt, Native American cultures, the trainwreck that are the Tudors, and just about anything else prior to 1940. I have worked at two ‘open air’ historical reenactment museums: Old Cowtown Museum in Wichita, Kansas and The Pawnee Bill Museum and Buffalo Ranch in Pawnee, Oklahoma. I began writing as a child, like most authors. My mother likes to tell the story of driving in the car on a long trip, digging through her purse for a scrap of paper and a pen because I had a story in my head that I had to write down RIGHT NOW. First town we stopped in, she pulled into a grocery store, bought a pack of pens and a notebook for me to write in. Our car always had pens, pencils and paper for just such emergencies forever after that. It was as vital to have as her first aid kit. I learned thereafter to also always have pen and paper handy, because you never know when inspiration will strike, even in the middle of the night. I started dabbling in writing original fiction during my second college stint, but didn’t take it seriously. I was more interested in writing fan fiction, which was, and is, more fun sometimes. Though I am still an avid fan fiction writer and reader, I am now writing more original works with the intent to publish. Like so many other authors, being a fan fiction author has been my jumping off point. Since I’m an unashamed geek, I’m proud of it too! If you’re interested in my fan works, don’t hesitate to drop me a line! Because of my fan writing I can claim to be a contributor to the Hugo Award Winner for 2019 for the Organization for Transformative Works and their archive, An Archive of Our Own. I am a voting member of The Organization for Transformative Works, and am active in two local writing organizations, Mid-America Romance Authors and Kansas City Romance Writers. I am also a member of Outreach International Writers where I can often be found teaching or taking classes.
