It is a Christmas themed story, but pffft. Rowan and Kasen were really vocal about the direction their lives took after the ending of Chartreuse and I was happy to follow. Yes way?! I know it’s insane, but the words flowed freely and I wasn’t about to stop them. In 4 days I produced a new story to go along with the novel and I have to admit…I really loved it. I was becoming frustrated with my inability to finish anything lately so my friend Laura (you’re so great, seriously) suggested that I revisit Chartreuse and try to write a story for the boys. I love my paranormal babies like whoa, but Kasen and Rowan have such a huge piece of my heart, too.

Life doesn’t get any better than that.I’m not gonna lie. Every day is a new possibility, a new adventure, and a new dream. She knows that without them, she wouldn’t be where she is today. She LOVES her fans and readers, and not a single one of them appear as a number to her. There are loads more and new ones popping up each day. Thus far, she has produced three ongoing series entitled Blood Betrayal (vampires), The Kadenburg Shifters Series (bear-shifters), and The Descendants (elementals). She claims to be married to her books and the characters she creates are her kids. Ridener is the youngest of 3 children, a surviving twin, and an extremely proud aunt. She is very active in the group “Books for Troops”, a program designed to send ebooks and paperbacks to soldiers currently serving overseas. This has fueled her drive to always lend a helping hand in every form possible.

In 2013, they gave over $69,000 in gifts to kids who otherwise would not have had presents to open on Christmas morning. Miss Ridener is a lover of music, movies, TV During the months of November and December, she participates in the charity she helped create called Random Acts of Christmas, an online program geared towards making Christmas happen for families in need. She always includes a strong female lead, a compassionate male, and tons of every day events that readers will be able to connect with. Her books may be a work of fiction, but there is a lot of truth in each one.Ĭreating relatable characters and believable storylines mixed in with make-believe is what she is best known for. Forever the daydreamer, not a day passes in which Miss Ridener isn’t working on something book related. She started writing stories at a young age, and will probably do so until she takes her last breath. She’s an avid reader, crazy writer, and photoshop addict.

Ridener entered the world in the magnificent year of 1985.
