Cheryl Cooke Harrington grew up in Toronto with the beaches of Lake Ontario in her backyard. These days, home is a west Toronto condo shared with an opinionated miniature parrot and his companion cat. She writes romantic suspense and women’s fiction.

Born in Wales, Anne Norman moved to Canada at a young age and spent much of her young life “pollywogging” near the Scarborough Bluffs. Grew a lot of little frogs but no princes sprang from these, as far as she knows. Supposedly a grown-up now, she finds her cats and birds to be (mostly) patient companions, though they are sometimes heard sniggering when she suffers from writer’s block. She lives in southern Ontario with no current blocks and plots her next book.
