More about Kelley -
 Kelley Armstrong has been telling stories since before she could write. Her earliest written efforts were disastrous. If asked for a story about girls and dolls, hers would invariably feature undead girls and evil dolls, much to her teachers’ dismay. All efforts to make her produce “normal” stories failed. Today, she continues to spin tales of ghosts and demons and werewolves, while safely locked away in her basement writing dungeon. She’s the author of the “Otherworld” urban fantasy series, “Darkest Powers” & “Darkness Rising” teen paranormal trilogies as well as the upcoming “Cainsville” modern gothic series and “Blackwell Pages” middle-grade fantasy adventure trilogy (co-written as K.L. Armstrong with M.A. Marr).  She lives in southwestern Ontario with her husband, kids and far too many pets.

You can find Kelley on her website,
blog,
Facebook, 
Twitter
and GoodReads.

More about Ann
During her successful career as an administrator, the call of the past and the stories in Ann's imagination brought her to a fork in the road. After her first book was published in 2006, she decided to write full time and hasn't looked back. She has given talks on the various aspects of publishing as well as workshops on the craft of writing. She blogs regularly about her research on her Regency Ramble Blog.

Over the years several of her books have won awards including an honorable mention by Foreword Magazine. She is particularly proud of her 2009 win of the Daphne DuMaurier Award for Excellence in Mystery/Suspense for The Rake's Inherited Courtesan. Recently She finalled in the Booksellers Best and the Golden Quill.

You can also find Ann on her website,

and Twitter.

There's an admission charge of $5 to cover the cost of the room.
 
Although there are no meals served at the Tranzac Club, you are welcome to bring in your own.  There are several restaurants nearby with take-out options.  

 Beverages are available at the venue.  All beverages, whether alcoholic or nonalcoholic, must be purchased at the Tranzac Club and the legal drinking age will be strictly enforced.
