Brandi Aquino lives in Ohio with her husband, their five children, and an ever-growing amount of pets. When she isn't reading, editing, or crafting, you can find her soaking in an action movie with her family or walking park trails with her three dogs.

Brandi graduated summa cum laude and holds a Bachelor of Arts in English. Additionally, although she's hung up her writing pen, she is an International and USA Today Bestselling Author (under pen name J.C. Valentine), giving her vast insider knowledge of the market.

Her love for books and her desire to help fellow authors deliver the best finished product to their readers possible drove Brandi into the field of editing. She began working at Booktrope, a community-based publisher for independent authors, in April 2015. Since then, she has worked with a number of talented, bestselling and award-winning authors.

Cyndi Faria IS a two-time USA Today bestselling author of The Faeted Vampire Series and has written over fifty steamy, paranormal and contemporary romances with twist-turns you’ll never see coming and happily ever after endings you crave. Recently, she found her passion writing zany paranormal cozies, which makes sense since her bookaholic, swearing-like-a-sailor momma taught her that silliness and shenanigans makes the world a happy place.

When this California girl isn’t nose-deep in a romance book—whether writing or editing—she’s snuggling on the couch with her rescued furbabies, sipping tea, and binging on Vampire Diaries reruns or her guilty pleasure, The Bachelor!
