Megan Hart and Lauren Dane

Hey, all. Megan Hart here. That's me on the left, the one with the crop.
Brand-new to Lust Bites and to Black Lace. Heck. I still feel brand-new to writing, even though I've been doing it for what feels like forever. You can read more about me at my website, www.meganhart.com, or my blog, www.readinbed.net.

But what would you like to know? I'm married, have two kids, a bunch of pets. I live in the woods. I love Superman, Supernatural and dancing. I love music, reading, writing, sleeping. I like writing sexy stories and reading horror novels and going to the drive-in movies. I laugh a lot. I'm easily annoyed by stupidity. I spend too much time online and drink too much diet soda!

Our first book together, Taking Care of Business, comes out this fall. Lauren and I came up with the idea while we were at the 2007 Romantic Times Convention, and I must be clear: it is NOT based on anything that ever happened in real life. Not at all. :)

My part of the story features Leah and Brandon, and let me tell you...I looooooove me some Brandon. Tall, dark and handsome, not afraid to get on his knees for a woman, and oh-so-eager to please. I had a blast writing it!

And just remember...you WILL buy our book!

Hi everyone! Lauren Dane here, the other half of the Dane/Hart writing team (doesn't that sound like a cool detective agency from some early 80's television show?) That's me right up there in my super cool "official" author shot taken last month by the swell Scott Church (who also took the shots with me and Megan you'll see in her entry)

Let's see - well firstly I'm thrilled to be here at Lust Bites - the first really erotic novel I read was Emma Holly's Menage - and this was back before I thought about giving writing a serious try. So of course I went and devoured all the Black Lace books I could find (and imagine my fangirl squee when I'm sitting here on a blog with many of the authors who brought me to erotic writing)

That's Megan and me with the ever so lovely Fred Williams at the Romantic Times Convention last month in Pittsburgh. We went in 2007 too and while standing in line for one or other of the parties we came up with the idea for Taking Care of Business and this year we firmed up the idea for the follow up, No Reservations. I decided to use this one because, hello, look at him. He's just as nice to talk to as he is to look at.

The basics: I live in the Pacific Northwest, I write for several publishers and have contracted at last count, 28 novels and novellas. Most of them are erotic romance although I do write outside erotic stuff and venture into post apocalyptic and urban fantasy type stuff. I have a secret harem/hisum where Gerard Butler and Clive Owen live and serve my every whim. And by secret, I mean imaginary. Because well, hello.

Anyway - That's me, uncomplicated, goofy, smutty imagination, harried because in addition to the writing gig I have three unruly children which means everything in my house is broken and I do a lot of laundry (sorry if that ruins any misbelief that I am served by a hot houseboy named Nills).
