 Dear Readers,
2011 was my wake-up call to get healthy and I've been working
hard to improve my lifestyle with better eating and exercise habits to help me
become healthier, stronger and happier. I kicked off the year by joining
my local Hillsboro Fitness Challenge in January. Not only have I lost
weight and inches, but I have lots more
energy and enthusiasm than I've had in years! Because you are all such a
big part of my life, though for the most part we'll never meet, I wanted to share this experience
with you all - and thus the Lucy Monroe Reader Fitness Challenge was born.
I really can't wait to share my "after" picture
with all of you in June. Know that I'll be pulling for you and working right along
with you as we all do our best to get stronger and healthier in time for summer!
Hugs and blessings on all our endeavors,
Lucy

TEAM CAPTAINS
These are the amazing authors who have agreed to encourage and mentor
participants who use MyFitnessPal
throughout the challenge.
  Bestselling romantic suspense author
Allie K. Adams has been reading romance novels for as long as she can remember. She dabbled in writing for the first time in the 7th grade, when the book she had just finished had the most awful ending the hero and heroine did not end up together. She felt cheated! After days of whimpering and whining to her friends and family, someone suggested she rewrite the ending if she hated it that much. So she did. And thus her journey began...
She currently lives in the beautiful mountains of Montana with her husband and children and pens tales of sizzling romantic suspense. She's also working on a new venture...YA. Read her blog about it
here. |

  Jenna
Bayley-Burke soaked up a steady stream of romance novels as soon as she found them on her grandmother’s bookshelf. Taken by the exotic locales (Minnesota) and interesting jobs (flight attendant), her world blossomed and dreams of happily every after outside the confines of her small town took root. Her first stories lacked emotion and depth, but most eight-year-olds don’t get the concepts of motivation in literature. She tried on other careers, but realized she only wanted to write romance stories and read bedtime stories to her two blueberry-eyed boys and practically perfect in every way baby girl.
Jenna is a nationally bestselling author of sexy romance
for Harlequin Mills & Boon and Samhain. |

  An award-winning author of erotic romance, Monica
Burns penned her first short romance story at the age of nine when she selected
the pseudonym she uses today. From the days when she hid her stories from her sisters to her first completed full-length manuscript, she always believed in her dream despite rejections and setbacks. A workaholic wife and mother, Monica believes it’s possible for the good guy to win if they work hard enough.
Monica is a two-time RT Reviewers Choice Award nominee, the 2011 PRISM’s Best of the Best winner, two-time EPPIE nominee leading to her 2009 EPPIE for Best Erotic Historical Romance. She is a 2012 Gayle Wilson Award of Excellence finalist as well as a 2005 RWA Golden Heart finalist. She has consistently earned top reviews from RT BOOKreviews and other reviewers. |
  Jami Davenport has been writing since she was old enough to know the alphabet. An advocate of happy endings, Jami writes sexy romantic comedy, sizzling suspense, and equestrian fiction. Jami lives on a small farm near Puget Sound with her husband, a former Green Beret turned plumber, a chocolate Lab with a tennis ball fetish, a prince disguised as an orange tabby cat, and an opinionated Hanoverian
mare.
In her spare time, Jami rides and shows her dressage horse and grows roses. An avid boater, Jami has spent countless hours in the San Juan Islands, the setting for her first two books. In her opinion, it is the most beautiful place on earth. |
  From food to fiction,
Kate Davies likes things spicy. Her award-winning, sexy contemporary romances are available in both e-format and print. When she isn't writing about strong, passionate men and women finding their
happily-ever-afters, she spends her time playing with the kids and hanging with her hero husband. (How's that for alliteration?)
Kate is a bestselling author of spicy romance (Because a Little
Spice is Nice) for Samhain Publishing and Siren Bookstrand.

  Bronwen
Evans’ first manuscript, INVITATION TO RUIN, was completed late 2009, and was sold by her agent, Melissa
Jeglinski, of The Knight Agency, to Kensington Publishing early 2010, in a two book deal. Her debut novel, INVITATION TO RUIN, received a 4.5 star rating from RT Book Reviews and has been nominated in the RT Reviewer’s Choice awards – Best First Historical. Invitation to Ruin was also well received in Publishers Weekly - Evans's debut Regency is filled with sizzling romance... Strong characterizations, smooth plotting, and plenty of explicit sex will appeal to fans of modern Regencies. |
  Erin
Nicholas has been reading and writing romantic fiction since her mother gave her a romance novel in high school and she discovered happily-ever-after suddenly went a little beyond glass slippers and fairy godmothers! She lives in the Midwest with her husband who only wants to read the sex scenes in her books, her kids who will never read the sex scenes in her books, and family and friends who say they’re shocked by the sex scenes in her books (yeah, right!).

  Debra Parmley is the author of two western historical romance's,
A Desperate Journey, Samhain Publishing and Dangerous Ties, Desert Breeze Publishing. Her contemporary romance,
Aboard The Wishing Star will be an Oct, 2012 release.
Debra is a former belly dance instructor who teaches
"Yoga at Your Desk" at writers conferences.
When not writing, she enjoys dancing, primitive archery and medieval reenactment, yoga, scrap booking, practicing Reiki, and traveling.

  Gin
Price has been writing since the sixth grade, a time when her
aspirations went only as far as to impress her giggling schoolmates. After
a brief affair with acting and singing, she reverted back to what she does
best, creating stories. Previously published in adult fiction and romance
with two novels, a novella and two short stories, she is jump starting her
Young Adult career through Noble Young Adult on April 16th 2012 with the
release of her graffiti and Parkour (Freerunning) novel Tagged.

  Serena Zane currently lives with her husband and her son in the Northwest. Working full-time at a day job, she also plays hard, and spends her free time studying the Middle Ages in a re-creationist organization called the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc
(SCA). Much of her time is spent between training for heavy armored combat, learning about music in the 16th Century, and writing her novels.
Serena started writing at an early age with short stories, and poetry inspired by her mother, a strong independent woman who loves to help others, and wrote her own stories. Dark Hope was picked up and published by Southwest Publications in 2008. |
