About the presenter:   USA Today Bestseller, Jade Lee has been scripting love stories since she first picked up a set of paper dolls. Ball gowns and rakish lords were her first loves which naturally led her to the world of regency romance. She has a gift for creating a lively world, witty dialogue, and hot, sexy humor. She's published over 80 books in historical, contemporary, and paranormal romance and has lately added kids picture books as Kat Chen. Check out her website at www.jadeleeauthor.com
