About Us
We are Women Unplugged — six authors, six opinions, tons of fun!
Christy Hayes
Christy Hayes lives outside Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband, two children and two dogs. She has a journalism degree from the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!) and she’s a member of Atlanta Writers Club, the Romance Writers of America, Georgia Romance Writers and the Women’s Fiction Chapter of Romance Writers of America. Christy has been writing seriously since 2004 and made the decision to indie publish in 2011. When not working on her next novel, Christy can be found running through her neighborhood or at one of her kids sporting events.
Dianne Venetta
Dianne lives in Central Florida with her husband, two children and part-time Yellow Lab–Cody-body! When not whacking away at her keyboard crafting her next novel you’ll find her in their organic garden chasing grasshoppers and plucking hornworms all while crafting wild analogies between kids and plants and men. Definitely men.
A girl’s gotta have fun, right?
- Patricia Yager Delagrange
Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Patricia Yager Delagrange graduated from UC Santa Barbara with a BA in Spanish, spent her Junior year studying at the University of Madrid, then went on to pursue a Master’s degree in Education from Oregon State University.
Aside from writing, her favorite things to do include riding her Friesian horse, Maximus, dot-to-dot for adults, and watching Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington movies. Patricia spends her days writing while her two very large Chocolate Labs lounge on the couch cuddled next to her and her MacBook.
Sharla Lovelace
Sharla once hunted for crab in a Honduran jungle, and explored an unknown cave on her belly through a rabbit hole. Not in the same night. Now, she lives in Southeast Texas by the Neches River with her family, an old lady dog, and 19 cockatiels. If you wonder how she writes with all that noise–the birds actually have their own house outside. THE REASON IS YOU is her debut novel, and she is hard at work on a second.
When she’s not writing or doing the family thing, she’s working full time or stalking her Twitter feed. Other than that, she can get back to talking about the kids, the dog, and the birds, but you’ll start to go glazed-eyed and be bored right off this page. Other random facts: Once owned a bookstore…Used to scuba dive…Has a freakish fear of tall bridges.
Sheila Seabrook
An accountant by day, a two-time Golden Heart finalist by night, Sheila spins straw into gold. She inherited her love of reading from her dad and as a teenager, used to sneak-read his Harlequin books. Shhh, don’t tell her Mom, but it’s his fault she writes Single Title romance and Women’s Fiction with heat.
Sheila’s inspiration comes while vegging out in the car during family roadtrips or from visiting her favourite holiday spot deep in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, where she loves to hike to the nearest highest mountain peak and pretend she’s queen for the day.
Sheila is a member of the Romance Writers of America, the Calgary Association of RWA, and the Women’s Fiction Chapter of RWA.
