Sara Raasch
Sara Raasch has known she was destined for bookish things since the age of five, when her friends had a lemonade stand and she tagged along to sell her hand-drawn picture books too. Not much has changed since then — her friends still cock concerned eyebrows when she attempts to draw things and her enthusiasm for the written word still drives her to extreme measures. Her debut YA fantasy, SNOW LIKE ASHES, the first in a trilogy, came out October 14, 2014 from Balzer + Bray. It does not feature her hand-drawn pictures.

Writing is a beautiful thing.

I consider myself blessed I'm able to do this for a living. I live for fantasy books as a reader and author. I adore books like An Ember in the Ashes, The Night Angel Trilogy, Harry Potter, The Great Library series...I could go on.
Before I write I have four young humans I keep alive and love them to the stars and back again. I live in Utah with my sexy husband, the kiddos, two paranoid dogs, and a sinister cat. Between finishing a second degree, running a business, and eating too much chocolate, I love writing early in the morning when no one is awake. If you can't tell, I basically function on caffeine. -

Originally, I'm from just outside New Orleans. I had my first son at 16. He's my best friend and we cry laugh together pretty much every day. I also have a 3.5 year old son who is far more refined than either of us, and he keeps us both in line. My two tiny angels are the heart and soul of me.

I've been writing since I can remember- was a bit of (a lot of) an outcast when I was a kid so books were my only friends, and the MMCs within them my true loves. Still are, honestly. I'm a single mother and prefer to keep it that way until I meet someone as worthy as the morally grey MMCs in my books. Until then, I dedicate my spare time to constantly getting my ass handed to me by practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai almost every night, medi -

Can we forgive injustice?
Do we accept the fate forced upon us?
Should we fight, no matter the cost?
How do we move on from great loss?
What would you trade to relive one moment?
I write folklore and mythology inspired dark fantasy. Emphasis on dark. I don't shy away from serious issues and emotions: suicide, depression, mental illness, abuse, death, infertility, and assault are all in my books. These are not for pleasure or shock value, but because I want to write about authentic pain and suffering, and how we heal ourselves through the bad th -
Nyte Roze
Nyte Roze has been obsessed with all things creepy since childhood—especially the kind of horror that sneaks into your head and refuses to leave. But for her, monsters, ghosts, and curses just weren’t complete without a little romance (and preferably a fantasy world where the rules are deliciously unfair). Since books like that were hard to find, she decided to write her own. When she isn’t spinning tales of love and terror, she can be found daydreaming elaborate plot twists, typing furiously, or procrastinating by doom-scrolling.

My love of reading has ebbed and flowed throughout my life but my love of fantasy has never faltered. Typically, I’m hanging with my family, reading fantasy, romantasy, or thrillers when I'm not writing. But let’s be honest, I’m writing a lot these days.
