The authors, Melinda and Nicole, met in 2005 when the two learned that Nicole’s husband and Melinda were actually long lost cousins. Without knowing it, the cousins had been born and raised not far from each other in upstate New York and had moved to the state of Georgia at approximately the same time. On August 1, 2009, after having just finished reading the Twilight saga and with their level of creativity at an all time high...Melinda and Nicole began sharing ideas about what the ultimate romance novel might be like and by the end of the night, on a piece of purple construction paper, they had created a character list and the basic outline of the plot for this book. What began on that simple piece of purple construction paper became The Lure of The Moon. Melinda Clark is a homemaker, nanny, and writing enthusiast whose avid love of storytelling prompted her to write short stories and poetry at a young age. After years of leaving her urge to write aside, she finally was able to bring her imaginative gift as a storyteller to fruition when she helped pen the novel The Lure of The Moon. She was born and raised just outside of Syracuse, New York and now resides in the Atlanta, Georgia area with her husband, Joe. Nicole Gulla was born and raised in the village of Yorkville just outside of Utica, New York. In 2002 she met the man who is now her husband and not long after she graduated from Whitesboro Senior High School in 2004, together they moved to Georgia. She is an indie writer, stay-at-home mom of two daughters, environmental and consumer rights activist who enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, yoga, reading and weekend campfires with the Clarks.
