ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Molly Charles is the pen name of Jena MacPherson and Joanne Otness. The writing team are lifelong friends and were raised in the Yakima Valley—Washington’s wine country.

The London setting of Chasing Galahad was no accident, as Jena and Joanne have an innate love of travel. Jena lived and studied in London as a teenager; Joanne traveled to England regularly as an international flight attendant. They updated much of their research on a recent visit to London and other parts of the British Isles.

And when they set out to write Passion Flowers, it was natural that they were drawn to another favorite travel destination--Maui. They want their readers to share in the spirit of Aloha, which is romance itself.

Team writing is a mystery to some, but remember collaboration on writing projects is a common occurrence. (Think television scripts!). Both Jena and Joanne write independently as well. They love writing as Molly Charles and hope you will enjoy their stories!
