Sara Edmonds is the Sales Manager for Fresh Fiction. Born and raised in Dallas, Sara only left for the few years she spent in Maine for school. She has always been a “bookie.” Her mother read constantly, and Sara and her brother entered all the summer reading contests at school whether they wanted to or not. But reading stuck. By the time she was a sophomore in high school, the young adult authors held no interest. One day her mom gave her one of her old books to read-a romance novel from Harlequin. From then on she was hooked, and probably explains her career choices. Sara's previous sales experience comes from working for one of the major book retailers. Sara worked her way up from being a bookseller to corporate sales, handling all corporate and educational sales for the largest revenue store in DFW. Sara has been known to debate a good book for hours so don't hesitate to contact her about sales or a great read.

Managing Reviews Editors
Tanzey's first career was in banking, which she left when her husband's contracting business required her full-time attention as financial officer. An avid reader all her life (her mother was a teacher!), she started reviewing books in January 1994 for the monthly publication, Old Book Barn Gazette, eventually serving as editor until its demise in April 2004. She started posting reviews on The Best Reviews in January 2003 and her column previously appeared on Writerspace. Tanzey has no children or pets, but she's still quite happily married to her contractor husband and lives in Tecumseh (that's near Topeka), Kansas. She loves to read, write, crunch numbers, travel - and stay busy!

When a twist of fate landed Jennifer Vido at the "Reading with Ripa" roundtable discussion with Kelly Ripa and Meg Cabot, she knew that her career as a French teacher would never be the same. A graduate of Vanderbilt University, Jennifer is a member of Romance Writers of America and reviews books for the major publishing houses, such as Random House, Penguin, and Hyperion. Currently, she is a columnist and reviewer for Fresh Fiction, where her popular monthly column, Jen’s Jewels, appears. As a national trainer for The Arthritis Foundation’s Aquatic and Land Exercise Programs, she is an advocate for those like herself who suffer from arthritis, the nation’s #1 cause of disability. In addition, she serves as Vice-chairperson of the Board of Trustees of the Harford County Public Library in Maryland where she resides with her husband and two sons.
Jennifer writes Jen's Jewels, the column that goes behind the scenes and brings your favorite authors to life! Jennifer interviews authors you always wished you could meet and some not-so-famous (yet!) authors you'd want to meet. As always, we here at Fresh Fiction like to give you a variety because we know that we all have different tastes in fiction. Whether it's romance (Jen's personal favorite), mystery or light fiction, we all read books to uplift, inspire or simply to entertain. We hope you will add Jen's Jewels to your must-read monthly list!

Tammy Benninger
Tammy has always had her nose in a book. From an early age, she recalls her parents complaining about her staying inside reading. She always told them that some parents could not even get their child to read one book so they should stop complaining.
It was during the summer of seventh grade when her love truly blossomed. Perhaps that is why young adult novels remain some of her favorite books.
When faced with the decision of choosing a major in college there was no other choice but English. She could think of no better way to spend four years.
Now a recent graduate, Tammy spends her days hunting for a job in which she can do what she loves best (reading, what else?) and annoying her family as much as possible. She lives in Mars (not the planet), PA with a few of her siblings. She loves to read, write, cook and play adventure games!
