Writing Advice from the Romance Roundtable Authors – Bridget E. Baker, Elana Johnson, Jan Moran, Jean Oram, and Kellie Coates Gilbert

Bridget loves her husband (every day) and all five of her kids (most days). She’s a lawyer, but does as little legal work as possible. She has three quarter horse geldings, a Holsteiner (jumping) horse, a paint mare, and she spends too much time riding and not enough time writing. (Or too much time writing and not enough time riding, depending on your perspective!)

She has more chickens than she’ll admit to having, two lions head rabbits, two cat, two dogs (one bouncy and one yappy). She makes cookies waaaaay too often and believes they should be their own food group. In a (possibly misguided) attempt at balancing the scales, she kickboxes daily. So if you don’t like her books, her kids, her horses, her chickens, or her cookies, maybe don’t tell her in person.

Bridget is active on social media, and has a Facebook group she comments in often. Please feel free to join her there.
