Emme Babin

Emme Babin is a proud Cajun woman from the depths of South Louisiana, where the food’s spicy, the football’s sacred, and the supernatural is never off the table. She writes paranormal romance with claws, chaos, and enough heat to fog your glasses.
By day, she's a master of multitasking with a house full of kids (who hopefully never figure out what Mom really writes), some spoiled fur babies, and a man who’s just as bold and spicy as her stories. By night, you’ll find her on the back porch with a drink in hand, blaring ‘90s hits during impromptu streaming concerts and reminiscing with her ride-or-die husband about the kind of chaotic and heated moments that definitely inspires her books.

Shannon Mayer

A long time ago, in a galaxy far away, I was born into a family of Star Wars nuts. I have a lot of siblings (somewhere I lost count but I think there was more than could be numbered on one hand) and being one of the young padawans I was subjected to Star Wars marathons, on a regular basis. If you've read any of my books you'll see there is often a reference to said movies as a small homage to my upbringing. May the force be with you and all that jazz.

I started writing when I realized I didn't want to grow up not believing in magic, or not believing in creatures everyone else said didn't exist. That being said, I have never seen a fairy, unicorn or dragon. I had a neighbour who swore they fed the leprechauns in their garden, but I never caug

Chris Carter

Biographies can be an absolute drag, so I won’t bore anyone with a long life story.

I was born in Brasilia, Brazil where I spent my childhood and teenage years. After graduating from high school, I moved to the USA where I studied psychology with specialization in criminal behaviour. During my University years I held a variety of odd jobs, ranging from flipping burgers to being part of an all male exotic dancing group.

I worked as a criminal psychologist for several years before moving to Los Angeles, where I swapped the suits and briefcases for ripped jeans, bandanas and an electric guitar. After a spell playing for several well known glam rock bands, I decided to try my luck in London, where I was fortunate enough to have played for a numbe
