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.

Blake Rivers

Hi, I'm Blake and as you may have guessed by now, I'm a writer. Yup, that’s right, I write books and I wrote my first novel, The Assassin Princess, in 2011 when I was twenty-eight. Two sequels followed, A Step into Darkscape and The Assassin's Codaci. This magical fantasy series started as a story written about my girlfriend, at the time, an artist who dreamed of being a fierce warrior in another world, who kicked butt and swung a sword to battle the enemy. It grew and became The Assassin Princess, a tale of an artist who is kidnapped and taken to a strange land full of magic, talking unicorns and dragons. It goes dark, exploring jealously, greed and hunger; it goes light and reaches for the best in even the most flawed of characters. But i

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

DeAnna Drake

Are you looking for a break from the downer side of life? Me too! That’s why I write lighthearted cozy mysteries designed to lift your spirits while balancing the scales of justice, at least within the pages of my books. My stories always feature sharp-witted heroines who sometimes feel like they’re in over their heads (don’t we all?), a cast of quirky characters you’ll enjoy getting to know, and furry friends with surprising magical abilities. Magic always adds the perfect touch of excitement to a story. Don’t you agree?

Usually, you can find me locked away in my writing room, dreaming up new ways for my magical animals to solve murders (or help to solve murders, or try to help to solve murders, you can never be sure with those critters).

Today, Desiree is the author of dark, twisty stories full of morally complex characters, sharp dialogue, and layered plots. Her writing is influenced by her travels, old-school noir films, and — yes — pro-wrestling (she still watches sometimes; no judgment allowed).

She has a particular soft spot for difficult women and clever villains — the kind who are just charming enough to make you root for them even when you know you shouldn’t. She believes that words have immense power and should be wielded with intention — whethe
