Louisa Masters
LOUISA MASTERS started reading romance much earlier than her mother thought she should. While other teenagers were sneaking out of the house, Louisa was sneaking romance novels in and working out how to read them without being discovered. She’s spent most of her life feeling sorry for people who don’t read, convinced that books are the solution to every problem. As an adult, she feeds her addiction in every spare second, only occasionally tearing herself away to do things like answer the phone and pay bills. She spent years trying to build a “sensible” career, working in bookstores, recruitment, resource management, administration, and as a travel agent, before finally conceding defeat and devoting herself to the world of romance novels.

Sara Raasch
Sara Raasch has known she was destined for bookish things since the age of five, when her friends had a lemonade stand and she tagged along to sell her hand-drawn picture books too. Not much has changed since then — her friends still cock concerned eyebrows when she attempts to draw things and her enthusiasm for the written word still drives her to extreme measures. Her debut YA fantasy, SNOW LIKE ASHES, the first in a trilogy, came out October 14, 2014 from Balzer + Bray. It does not feature her hand-drawn pictures.

Where do you get your ideas for your books?
The idea for Stray Spirit came from an active brainstorming session- I knew I wanted to write something for Nanowrimo, but I didn't know what. So I threw together three things I was interested in- bards, caves, and spirit possession- and went from there.
A Rival Most Vial came to me when the phrase "rival potion shops" fell into my head. (And subsequently never left.)

Misu Loy
MISU LOY published her first romance novel in April of 2023 and has many more in the works. She's a huge fan of brooding heroes and clumsy or silly heroines. Save fade-to-black for the movies, because she also wants all the heat. She loves books that don't take themselves too seriously but are also written with the attentiveness and care of a passionate storyteller. Misu strives for this in her own craft, as well.
Triggers are for being pulled. She doesn't shy away from dark subjects.
Humor is the spice of life. Every single one of her stories makes her laugh out loud at some point. She hopes her readers will, too.
