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.

Lane O'Neil
Born, raised, and forever resident of Atlanta-ish, Georgia, Lane O’Neil loves crashing waves, characters who feel like friends, and soft blankets.
Buy books on Amazon
Lane rekindled her love of reading in 2021 after having her son and learning what "nap trapped" meant. That renewed spark eventually led to her to linking up with indie authors as an alpha and beta reader, which then spiraled into a crazy idea—one that had never once crossed her mind before….
What if she tried to write something?
Once her mortifying flashback to completing the writing portion of her SATs in 2009 was done, and she took a shower to wash off the nervous sweats, she opened a document and began writing.

M. George
M. George is an indie author who lives in the Pacific Northwest with her spouse, three young children and fur baby Goldendoodle. She has always been passionate about reading and writing. Imagining her favorite stories come to life in a way where the characters continue to live long after their stories ended on page, and creating worlds of her own where her characters live rent-free in her mind. When she is not lost in a book or her writing, she enjoys spending her free time with her children, supporting them in their extracurriculars and playing video games or watching shows with her spouse. Her favorite shows lie within the realm of fantasy and the paranormal, and favorite characters are of the morally gray variety. The darker the better.
