Denise Weimer ~ Acquisitions & Editorial Liaison
North Georgia native Denise Weimer has authored over a dozen traditionally published novels and a number of novellas—historical and contemporary romance, romantic suspense, and time slip. With five years of experience as a freelance and small press editor, she’s helped other authors reach their publishing dreams. A wife and mother of two daughters, Denise holds a journalism degree with a minor in history from Asbury University.
Though she loves her red pen (aka track changes), she wields it with the kindness of an author who's also been on the receiving end of the editing axe. She's forever on the hunt for a story that brings the past to life as she experienced participating in living histories and vintage dance. When she escapes from her editing/writing desk, she flees to hike in the mountains, tour old buildings, and hide in cute coffee shops.

As the Editorial/Production Assistant, you can usually find Sarah Erredge secretly falling in love with manuscripts as she implements proofing and galley changes. She’s takes a manuscript from the point it’s ready for formatting, as well as prepping the back cover blurb, listing on retailers, and being the all around point-person for anything production related.
