Elisabeth Garner

Hey everyone and welcome to my little corner of the world. I’m glad you’re here!
I’m just a quirky, nerdy lady writing stories that are begging to be put on paper. I live in an adorable, little town in Indiana with my amazing husband, our adorable daughter, and our two cats.
When I’m not holed up in my office, you can find me reading, drinking coffee and tea, hanging out with my family and friends, baking, working on DIY projects around the house, and playing D&D.
I have been obsessed with reading and writing from a very young age. Growing up, it was all about The Baby Sitter Club and then Harry Potter and then The Arrows of the Queen. I started writing my first novel in high school, my second novel in college, and after teaching for a whil

Sarren Scribner

Sarren is a caffeine-powered, multi-award-winning romance author who may or may not judge people who dog ear books (just kidding… mostly). When she’s not writing steamy love stories or arguing with her characters, she’s losing spectacularly at family game nights.
This Canadian word smith survives winters by hibernating under blankets with her black kitty and golden retriever as personal space heaters. Summers are for pretending she’ll exercise—until her book and iced coffee call her name instead.
Her husband is her favourite snuggling partner, mainly because he brings snacks and doesn’t complain when she argues with herself over plot holes.
Follow her for books, questionable life choices, and the occasional floof cameo. Warning: Her stories ma

Lauren Biel

Lauren’s stories are often emotionally raw, with lots of twists and turns. She describes her writing as “where light meets dark”, which represents how her witty humor compliments the darkness in every story. Instead of trying to mold her writing to fit in a box, she chooses to be unapologetically herself. While her focus is on Romance with dark elements, subgenre is no constraint for her. The common theme in every book is finding love when you least expect it. She enjoys putting her characters through tribulations, allowing their triumphs to be that much more poignant. Make sure you have your seatbelts secured. It’s always a bumpy ride.

When she’s not working, she’s writing. When she’s not writing, she’s spending time with her husband, her f

Jessica Jude

Jessica Jude writes emotionally-charged kissing (among other things) books about royals and the elite. Her aim in all of her stories is to make you fall in love with the characters and use up box after box of tissues. Her characters are strong and independent, who make plenty of morally gray decisions. She likes her women fierce and her men possessive.

Her favorite scenes to write are arguments. She's been known to stir up drama in her own life when she gets bored, and her family is glad she has an outlet for her occasional Blair-Waldorfism. She lives in a big old house in the midwestern United States with her high-school sweetheart. She has dreamed of being an author since she was six and wrote her first book about a girl named Mary who got
