ALL ABOUT THE CREW
December 1, 2010... seven authors launched GET LOST IN A STORY. This multi-genre group of authors hoped to create a forum that not only introduces authors to readers, but where we can all explore our love of great storytelling in its various forms. Angi wanted a blog that brought storytellers closer to the ones reading. Writing is too often a solitary accomplishment and writers rarely make contact with their audience. "It should be fun connecting with those who love stories as much as we do."
Get Lost In A Story emphasizes interviews and posts primarily about books, but occasionally about television, film or other media, as long as fantastic storytelling is involved. We also offer debut and established authors a chance to promote their upcoming titles to readers, and in doing so, we hope to give readers the chance to connect with new and favorite authors, ask questions and make comments. There are fun giveaways, and something new to delight every day.
We hope you come back again and again, not only to meet fabulous authors, but to share your love of a good story with us. And now, let's "get lost" in the introductions...

NAN DIXON spent her formative years as an actress, singer, dancer and competitive golfer. But the need to eat had her studying accounting in college. Unfortunately, being a successful financial executive didn’t feed her passion to perform. When the pharmaceutical company she worked for was purchased, Nan got the chance of a lifetime—the opportunity to pursue a writing career. She’s a five-time Golden Hear®t finalist and lives in the Midwest where she is active in her local RWA® chapter and on the board of a dance company. She has five children, two sons-in-law, three grandchildren and one neurotic cat.
AMANDA McINTYRE 's storytelling is a natural offshoot of her artistic creativity. A visual writer, living in the rich tapestry of the American heartland, her passion is telling character-driven stories with a penchant (okay, some call it a wicked obsession) for placing ordinary people in extraordinary situations to see how they overcome the obstacles to their HEA.
A bestselling author, her work is published internationally in Print, eBook, and Audio. She writes steamy contemporary and sizzling historical romance and truly believes, no matter what, love will always find a way.

Garbera started making up stories for her own benefit when she was on a competitive swim team in high school. Though she went to State and usually medaled at swim meets, Katherine says her heart wasn't in swimming but rather in the stories she created as she swam laps at practice.
Her books have been featured in magazines such as REDBOOK (11/98)and have even been featured on the large JumboTron in Times Square, and excerpted in COSMO (7/10).
"My love for historical romance adventures with grit and passion came from watching Western movies while growing up on a cattle farm in northern Canada. I've been nominated for over 20 awards and won the RWA® Golden Heart® & the Laramie® — but my best reward is hearing from readers who have enjoyed my stories."

C.H. ADMIRAND writes about the things she loves most: Family, her Irish ancestry, baking and gardening. Her family centers her and keeps her sane.

Take a trip back in time to the Old West with her Irish Western Series, or further back to her Medieval Trilogy. Fast-forward to the present, stopping at the Circle G Ranch in Pleasure, Texas or Claddagh Ranch in Emerson, Colorado. Do you have a hankering for a slice of pure heaven? Then don’t forget to visit the McCormack sisters at the Apple Grove Diner in Apple Grove, Ohio–Small Town USA–for a slice of Peggy McCormack’s Buttermilk Pie!
