Charles Perrault
The French author who laid the foundations for the fairy tale genre of literature. His collected "Contes des fées" (widely known as the Mother Goose stories) have been endlessly retold, most profitably by Disney. Every child knows "Cinderella", "Beauty and the Beast", "Sleeping Beauty", "Snow White", "Puss in Boots", "Tom Thumb", and "Red Riding Hood". Charles Perrault naquit a Paris le 12 janvier 1628, septieme enfant de Pierre Perrault, avocat au parlement de Paris. Apres d'excellentes etudes au college de Beauvais, rue Jean-De-Beauvais a Paris, il fut recu avocat en 1651. Il abandonna bientot apres le barreau et devint commis de son frere aine, Pierre, receveur general des finances de Paris. Les loisirs que lui laissait sa place lui permirent de se livrer a la poesie : diverses pieces de circonstances, a la verite assez mediocrement versifiees, commencerent a le faire connaitre des hommes de lettres et des artistes de son temps. En 1663, il entra au service de Colbert et devint rapidement son homme de confiance : nomme secretaire de la " petite academie " , qui sera plus tard l'academie des inscriptions et belles lettres, il prit ensuite une part active a l'administration des batiments du roi, avec le titre de "premier commis des batiments" . En 1671, il fut elu a l'academie francaise. La meme annee, il epousa une jeune fille de dix-neuf ans, Marie Guichon, qui lui donna quatre enfants et le laissa veuf en 1678.

Christina Skye
Roberta Helmer aka Christina Skye loved the power of the written word. The New York Times bestselling author of 36 novels, 7 novellas and four non-fiction books still wrote longhand. Usually when her characters refused to behave. She came to writing late. Once she realized that she could not become the heir to a small European mountain kingdom, writing seemed like the next best thing. She was a pushover for Harris tweed, Scottish cashmere, handspun merino yarn, Shanghai street dumplings, French macarons and dark chocolate. Not necessarily in that order. After receiving her doctorate in classical Chinese literature, she traveled for five crazy years, working as a writer, translator and consultant to travel magazines, national tourist agencies, importers, apparel companies and museums, including the National Geographic Society, the Asia Society and the American Museum of Natural History, spending most of that time in Asia. Her mileage points were awesome. Then the travel got old. In 1990 she sold her first novel in six days. Since then she has written five different series for six different publishers. She has appeared on ABC Worldwide News, Travel News Network, the Arthur Frommer Show, Geraldo, Voice of America, Looking East, and Good Morning, Arizona. In 2013 her contemporary romance, The Accidental Bride, was chosen as one of the ten best romance novels of the year by prestigious Booklist Magazine. In 2015 the book was chosen one of the 100 best books of the decade by the same premier review magazine. She was beyond thrilled by both honors. The book also received a reviewer's choice award from Romantic Times Magazine. Christina loved to sew, knit lace on big needles, drink tea and uncover odd historical tidbits that she could weave into her storylines.

Debra Dier
Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. The first time I saw a reader mention my possible demise in an online review, chills rippled over my skin. It is odd to read someone say she loves you and she thinks you must have died because nothing new has been published in years. To that reader and to anyone else who may have mourned my passing I say: I have been buried in all the wonderful joys and duties and responsibilities of motherhood. Yes, other writers manage to keep pumping out books while dealing with children. I think I may have continued, except I had the loss of my mom hit right at the time I was finishing the last book on my contract. I just couldn't find the heart to pick up my quill. Instead, I plunged into volunteer work. Once I left that realm where the written word reigned, I never sought a way back into it. I was Alice who forgot about the looking glass. My best friend gave me a magnet a couple of years ago that had “Stop me before I volunteer again!” emblazoned across the shiny surface beneath the face of a young woman who resembled me. She told me she was tired of waiting for another book. I realized my short hiatus from writing had turned into a twelve year sabbatical. I stepped back into my office, looked at my computer and decided she was right. I sat down and began writing the first book in a series of fantasy novels for older teens and adults. While I was working on the new series, I obtained the rights to all of my previously published novels. The next day a New York publisher contacted me and asked to buy the rights to those novels. They wanted to publish them immediately. It was tempting, but instead of allowing those books to be published in their original form, I decided to take a peek at them and see if there was anything I might do differently today. I was always the type of writer who would have been revising in the bookstore if bookstores did not frown upon such tactics. The first book, Beyond Forever, took eight months to re-write. In reality, I kept the concept and a little of the original and wrote a new book. The result is A Twist of Fate which will be available late November 2013. In the past year I have reconnected with an old love—writing. As I work my way through the old novels, I find my concepts and choices concerning characters and plot have altered over the years. I am currently working on revising all the old books. And yes, eventually, soon I hope, I will return to the new series. Before I get another magnet from Kim. Debra Dier is the bestselling author of sixteen critically acclaimed romance novels and short stories. Her work has earned her a place in the Writer's Hall of Fame. Deb was born and raised in Niagara Falls, New York. Although she always knew she wanted to do something creative in life, well-meaning family members talked her into doing something in a much more practical light. She received a BS in Information Systems Management and headed down a career path that included writing computer code and designing computer systems. It wasn't exactly what she had in mind when she thought of a purely creative career. For some mystifying reason, she was put on a fast track in that career and became a manager of other programmers and analysts in a large corporation at a young age. It was then she decided to try her hand at writing something other than computer systems. After her first novel, Surrender the Dream was published, she took the plunge into writing full time. She has never regretted that decision. When her daughter was a toddler, Debra decided to take a short hiatus from writing to concentrate on all things motherhood. There wasn't a task she didn't take on, including making Halloween costumes, volunteering for room parent every year, and becoming a Girl Scout leader. By the way, her idea of camping is staying at a three star hotel. Not precisely the roughing it kind of girl. At the urging of her daughter, Deb has found herself sleeping on a mat in a ten
