T.W. Fendley
With a bachelor’s degree in journalism tucked in her purse, T.W. Fendley began her professional career in 1980 as managing editor of a small-town daily in southern Arkansas. Three years later, she returned to her hometown of Little Rock as a reporter for the statewide daily.
In 1986, Teresa began a 20-year career in corporate communications that took her to New Orleans, Washington, D.C., and St. Louis. While in New Orleans, the Crescent City Writers and George Alec Effinger’s science fiction workshop introduced her to fiction writing.
She attended the 1997 Clarion Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Workshop. Teresa's earned various awards for her short stories since she began writing fiction fulltime in 2007, including second place in the 2011 Writers Digest Horror Competition. Her debut historical fantasy novel, Zero Time, was published in October 2011.
Sarah M. Anderson
Sarah M. Anderson is an award-winning author of modern-day Cowboys-and-Indian stories. Her debut novel, A Man of His Word, won the Grand Prize in the 2010 Hot Prospect contest as Indian Princess and will be published by Harlequin Desire in December, 2011.
Combining snarky humor with shirtless cowboys on horseback, Sarah also strives to raise awareness of the realities of life on Lakota Indian reservations. She uses proper Lakota translations when her characters speak their native language.
Sarah also self-published her Grandmother Goldie M. Lucas’ novel, Eleanore Gray in 2011. A sweet inspirational historical, Eleanore Gray is set in the Ozark Hills in 1902.
Sarah lives in Illinois with her husband, son, and Gater the Four-Legged Mutt. She is a writer and editor at Mark Twain Media, Inc., an educational publishing company. When not chasing her son around or writing, she attempts to read, knit, and complete home improvement projects on her historical 1895 Queen Anne house.
