Celeste Sutton

Celeste Sutton writes about enchanted realms, dangerous bargains, and the kind of love that makes you ache.

For two decades, she published novels the traditional way—books that found millions of readers and spent months on bestseller lists. But eventually, Celeste did what any fantasy heroine worth her salt would do: she opened the door to something wilder. Indie publishing called, and she stepped through gladly, joining a fierce, brilliant community of storytellers who believe magic is meant to be shared.

Celeste’s love affair with fantasy began early, with the wondrous adventures of Edward Eager and the dragon-filled skies of Pern. Recently, thanks to her children, she rediscovered the genre as an adult—falling headfirst into Brandon Sander

Dorian De LaRue

Dorian De LaRue does not just tell stories. He designs them to haunt.

An indie Canadian author known for dark romantic thrillers infused with psychological suspense, every line, every silence, and every twist in De LaRue’s work is deliberate, crafted to pull readers deeper into a world where love is dangerous, truth is fractured, and nothing is ever what it seems.

The breakout series, The Whispers of a Lie, stands as a masterpiece in psychological thrillers and mysteries. It is an emotional labyrinth where trauma, desire, and betrayal collide. With each page, De LaRue dares readers to question what they know until they are left breathless, uncertain of what they have just experienced.

Every detail is a trap. Every emotion, a thread.

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

Rhiannon Hargadon

There was a willow I loved by a creek; sometimes I slept there. I was never afraid, alone in the dark. There was nothing to fear from water and trees and fairytales.

The real monsters were always people.

...

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
