Sydney Logan is an Amazon bestselling author who may or may not have an unhealthy obsession with music (seriously, she loves everything from Eminem to Johnny Cash). She also has an amazing husband and a ridiculously spoiled cat, both of whom join her in soaking up the stunning views from their East Tennessee front porch.

It acts more as a guide. I really allow the story to guide me. My characters know where they're going. I'm merely their conduit. I'm what you might call a chronological writer. I write scenes in the order of which they happen. I rarely write out of order and if I do it's because I'm stuck. To be honest, nine times out of ten, the chapter I write out of order never gets used or at least not in its entirety. It's only there to help me get the creative juices flowing again. My scenes come to me like a movie. I can see each motion, each word, each interaction between my characters. It's strange but for me they play out like a movie in my head and that's why my writing is so dialog oriented. I will write and rewrite until I feel its done. My editor and a very dear friend of mine reads along with me, and will make suggestions as they see fit. When we all agree its done, and I can read through it without wanting to change a million things, that's when we do the final edits and release it to the public. I feel lucky to have such a wonderful crew to help me with something I'm so passionate about.
Mary was born and raised in Southern California. She is a wife, mother of four beautiful children, and dog tamer to one enthusiastic Pit Bull and a prissy Chihuahua. She’s a hairstylist by day but contemporary fiction, new adult author by night. Mary can often be found finger twirling her hair and chewing on a stick of licorice while writing and rewriting a sentence over and over until it’s perfect. She discovered her talent for tale-telling accidentally, but literature is in her chokehold. And she’s not letting go until every story is told.

Her publishing career began with two novellas, and she currently has a novel under way whilst Honour, a compilation of her own military based shorts, is due for release 1st November 2013. Always having something on the go can often lead to block which eventually gets dissolved by good music and an even better book.
