Nina Simon

Eric Lodin

I was born in the Midwest and grew up in the South. I've lived abroad and now reside in North Carolina in striking distance of mountains and beach. Nature is important to me. Continually in search of a moral universe, I think mainly about philosophy, ethics, and religion. Writing is how I coalesce my thinking and cope with uncertainty. It’s also fun. Long walks and jogs while listening to poetry, music, and podcasts help keep me sane. A former journalist, I get energy from talking to people in a room (one reason the pandemic was difficult for me). I write in the mornings for no more than two hours. The year I took off to write full time was a disaster; I got pretty good at horseshoes and feeling depressed. Writing is an important part of my

Sarah Faeth Sanders

Sarah Faeth Sanders has been a storyteller since she was a little girl, when she would sit her parents down and spin new tales on makeshift stages, always ending her narratives with the mysterious phrase “A Duck and a Rabbit” instead of “The End.” This tendency to avoid absolutes followed her into her career as an author with the release of her debut novel, Soulmates: A Metaphysical Love Story, a reincarnation romance. This tale of destined love and found family plays with time and avoids absolutes like “The End” through its exploration of the multiple lives of its characters. Soulmates quickly turned into The Metaphysical Love Stories series, a series of standalone reincarnation romance novels. Book two, Fated Tides, released in January 20
