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.
And once in

Nicholas Wolfe

Nicholas Wolfe’s path to authorship is as gripping as the story he tells. Wrongly accused and imprisoned, Wolfe was cut off from the world—but not from his imagination. With no access to computers or traditional writing tools, he saved what little he had to buy notebooks and pencils, crafting Shatter entirely by hand, page by page. Fantasy became both his escape and his way of reclaiming identity. What started as a lifeline in confinement evolved into a raw, personal exploration of fate, power, and self-worth. Shatter isn’t just a novel—it’s a bold testament to the power of storytelling, born from injustice and transformed into art. Now free, Wolfe is dedicated to sharing his voice and world, proving that even in the darkest places, creativ

Brianna Remus

Brianna Remus is a Florida-based author who lives with her husband, three pups, and terrorizing cat. She started her writing journey in 2016 to ward off the woes of graduate school.

When Brianna isn't working as a psychology resident or writing books, you can find her getting lost in the worlds created by others (through writing and movies), spending a day at the ocean, or taking a walk in the forest. She loves to spend her days outdoors surrounded by the beauties of nature.

A true Tolkien nerd, she also spends a lot of her time immersed in Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, as well as praying that Amazon doesn't complete

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

Leena Kazak

Leena Kazak has been spinning stories since she was ten years old, when she wrote her first short story and never looked back. A lifelong reader, she’s devoured everything from fantasy and thrillers to historical fiction and contemporary romance—but these days, she’s happily tumbled down the romantasy staircase and shows no sign of climbing out. (Send help).

She writes low-spice fantasy romance with fierce heroines, impossible choices, and immersive worldbuilding. When she’s in the thick of drafting, Leena wakes up between 4:30 and 5 a.m. to chase that magical, half-asleep window when words flow freely and the world is still quiet.

Leena lives in the frigid Northeast with her brooding, handsome husband and their two adorable, half-feral sidek

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
