Jennifer J. Coldwater

The first story Jennifer J. Coldwater wrote was in a spiral-bound notebook and about a talking horse. Sadly, the notebook is long gone and she cannot corroborate this tale. There are no talking horses in her current stories. She hopes that’s not too disappointing to her readers.

Always curious, always writing, Jen wanted to find work that fed her soul. The closest she could get to a career in Curiosity and Questioning was teaching English, journalism, and creative writing at a public high school in San Diego, California in the late ‘90s.

Jen lives her life as an ally and an advocate for the Jewish people. A small sliver of that is embodied in her collection of contemporary romance novels based on the women of the Hebrew Bible. She creates d

Raina Nightingale

I have been writing fantasy since I could write stories with the words I could read (the same time that I started devouring books, too). I now write “slice of life” and epic dawndark fantasy, for fiction lovers interested in rich world-building, characters who feel like real people, and spiritual experiences. I think giant balls floating in space can have the same magic that fairytales teach us to look for in oak trees and stars. I have a lot of universes and while not all of them have giant balls floating in space, most of them have dragons of one sort or another!
