About the author
Eileen Dreyer
76 books767 followersNew York Times bestselling, award-winning author Eileen Dreyer, known as Kathleen Korbel to her Silhouette readers, has published 28 romance novels, 8 medico-forensic suspenses, and 7 short stories.
2012 sees Eileen enjoying critical acclaim for her first foray into historical romance, the Drake's Rakes series, which follow the lives of a group of British aristocrats who are willing to sacrifice everything to keep their country safe. After publication of the first trilogy in the series, she has just signed for the next trilogy, following the graduates of the aptly named Last Chance Academy, who each finds herself crossing swords with Drake's Rakes. Eileen spent time not only in England and Italy, but India to research the series (it's a filthy job, but somebody has to do it).
A retired trauma nurse, Eileen lives in her native St. Louis with her husband, children, and large and noisy Irish family, of which she is the reluctant matriarch. She has animals but refuses to subject them to the limelight.
Dreyer won her first publishing award in 1987, being named the best new Contemporary Romance Author by RT Bookclub. Since that time she has also garnered not only five other writing awards from RT, but five RITA Awards from Romance Writers of America, which secures her only the fourth place in the Romance Writers of America prestigious Hall of Fame. Since extending her reach to suspense, she has also garnered a coveted Anthony Award nomination.
A frequent speaker at conferences, she maintains membership in Romance Writers of America, Sisters in Crime, Mystery Writers of America, and, just in case things go wrong, Emergency Nurses Association and International Association of Forensic Nurses.
Eileen is an addicted traveler, having sung in some of the best Irish pubs in the world, and admits she sees research as a handy way to salve her insatiable curiosity. She counts film producers, police detectives and Olympic athletes as some of her sources and friends. She's also trained in forensic nursing and death investigation, although she doesn't see herself actively working in the field, unless this writing thing doesn't pan out.

This review only refers to Queen of the Animals by Amir Lane
This was yet again an amazing short story, beautifully written as anticipated, and with an unexpected twist only this author is capable of delivering. There is contemplation of returning to nature and there is magic, but nothing paranormal, just the magic of nature. The main character is strong, resilient and definitely a fighter, not a quitter. Her internal monologues are as satirical and fantastic as is the plot. I loved every moment of the story, and it left me with a smile on my face. I cannot love this author more.

No other collection of stories could be more comprehensive or necessary.
The writers of "Somewhere Out There" have incredible gifts and fresh ideas that can feel the struggles of immigration to band together and help the families. I enjoyed reading this book not only for what it stood for, but the stories were well written and absorbing.

The Anthology “Somewhere Out There” was a very good read.
My favorite story in the book was the excerpt “The Devil Doubles Down” by Judith Anderson.
It was suspenseful, intriguing, and most of all, it concluded from the first book.

Nice anthology for a good cause. Good place to find the prequel story to RA Steffan's The Horse Mistress quartet.
