Kira, Danniele, Kimberly, and Alexandra were a couple of the youngest members of our local RWA chapter. Since we’re always together (usually stirring up something), we are collectively referred to as “The Children” by our beloved Mavens: Linda Howard, Beverly Barton, and Linda Winstead Jones. Marilyn, bless her heart, got stuck with the unenviable position of keeping us in line (but what else did she expect, hanging out with a motley crew like us all the time? Somebody had to be the grownup, so we elected her while she was out of the room.). What better place to send The Children than to our own playground where our Monitor can keep an eye on us? |

Kimberly Lang (Problem Child): As the Playground’s Problem Child, Kimberly loves to shake things up (and sometimes she makes things difficult – but that’s never intentional) . The second of the Playfriends to sell, Kimberly writes Alpha heroes and sassy heroines for Harlequin/Mills and Boon’s Modern Heat and Presents lines. Kimberly and her Darling Geek have one Amazing Child who is forced to balance out her mother’s creative, liberal arts influence with her father’s complete geekiness. AC has two gerbils, and Kimberly lives in fear they will escape their cage again and make their way to her office. You can contact Kimberly directly at: problemchild@writingplayground.com |

Kira Sinclair is excited to join the Harlequin Blaze line with her debut book - Whispers in the Dark (August 2008). She credits RWA for introducing her to a world of wonderfully supportive writers. Juggling a full time job, a phenomenal husband and two adorable children isn't easy but always worth the effort. You can contact Kira directly at: instigator@writingplayground.com |

In addition to being a mom and running her resume-writing business, Danniele Worsham works hard to improve her craft as a writer and achieve her goal of the ever elusive book contract. For now, she has published nonfiction articles online and several of her short stories have appeared in True Romance, True Experience, and True Confessions magazines. She’s an active member of her local Romance Writers of America chapter, and is thrilled by her recent contest successes. She placed second in the 2008 Georgia Romance Writers’ Maggie contest, and is a finalist in the 2009 RWA Golden Heart® contest for unpublished authors. You can contact Danniele directly at: angel@writingplayground.com |

Alexandra Frost (Smarty Pants) As a reformed geek with a sarcastic streak, Alex is always up to the task whether it calls for tech support or a snarky comeback. Although writing was her passion from a young age, her practical nature led her to pursue a master's degree and a career that would pay the bills. She started working in her spare time to become a published author and since that time, has eight completed manuscripts under her belt and another on her flash drive itching to be completed. You can contact Alexandra directly at: smartypants@writingplayground.com |

Marilyn Puett (Playground Monitor) After discovering romance novels in 2001 quite by accident, Marilyn had a renewed interest in writing. Since then she’s had over thirty short stories published in the confessions and romance magazines and regularly teaches a class in how to write for this genre. In 2008 she completed her first novel-length manuscript and saw it final in an online pitch contest on eHarlequin. The manuscript was requested (and rejected) by Silhouette, but she considers it just another notch on her writing belt. She’s a member of Romance Writers of America and serves on both the local and national levels. When she’s not doting on her granddaughter, she enjoys being the Playground Monitor, a role she’s well-suited for after raising two boys. You can contact Marilyn directly at: playgroundmonitor@writingplayground.com |
