Karen Naylor
Based in a small town in West Yorkshire, England, Karen Naylor writes romance with heart. She hopes to make her readers laugh along with her characters' highs and lows, empathise with the heroine, fall a little in love with the hero and savour the happy ever after.
Karen enjoyed writing "Christmas Evie" as she got to draw humour from her own experiences and her love of Christmas (born in early December, she couldn’t wait even then despite her due date of Christmas Day). This is her first published book in the Romano series, and she would like to connect with any fans of the novel.
Capri is her favourite place in the world and she can’t wait to visit again soon.

Stephanie Soper.
Stephanie Soper is Yorkshire through and through, but she’s also a wanderer, having lived an expat life in France for many years. She now lives in Britain and in Thailand, passing through many countries on the way. As graduate, then businesswoman, she has spent many years in Britain’s stately homes living a Downton Abbey sort of life in Fine Art, knowing what it’s really like to live behind the scenes.
After that enriching period, she spent several years building businesses in the south of France, combined with travels around the world, part of which included time in Australia, where her youngest son went to work and stayed. House exchanges, using her French house in the olive groves above the hills of Nice, has enabled spending many months in other people’s homes and extraordinary experiences that came with this.
She is winner of the Farnham International Thriller Award, besides many others, and has been broadcast on the BBC.
Stephanie is also a member of the Crime Writers Association
Her writing passion, where she likes to develop unusual plots with many twists, means writing several hours a day, and when in Thailand, tops this up with cool showers and a glass of scotch.
Her favourite writing quote is ‘promised twists delivered.’
