Jenessa Ren

Writing is something Jenessa never dreamed of doing professionally, but it is a journey that has completely altered the course of her life.
When the vision of a woman locked in a tower, one who longed for freedom, sparked, Jenessa ran with it. Months later, Heir Of Sun And Moon was written, and the entirety of The Five Realms Series was born.

Now Jenessa spends her days writing in the fictional world of Olymazi, creating emotional, character driven romantasies where the men fall first and hard, and the women are strong and capable.

You can catch her hanging out on Instagram at @jenessalikes, where she is likely fangirling over Pedro Pascal edits.

Rebecca Ferrell Porter

Rebecca Ferrell Porter lives in south-central Wisconsin, but she didn't always live there. Sure, she grew up as a wild child running the hills of Mineral Point, Wisconsin, but she left as soon as her pudgy feet could carry her. Not that she hated life in a tiny, artistic community on the edge of world, but it was too isolated to hold her. She calls it her jump-off-the-cliff personality.

Years went by, addresses peeled away, and she found herself a short drive from where it all started. Oh well, she always said she would go home and live off her colorful past. With her inner child still in charge and armed with years of experience fueled by a hungry imagination, Porter has begun her writing career. In a short time, it has blossomed into an aw

Brea Lamb

Brea has been obsessively reading since she was six years old, consuming any and all books she could get her hands on. Thus sparked the dream of creating something similar – a book that would make readers cry and laugh and smile and feel all those big emotions that she did. At nine-years-old, she wrote her first book. Over the years she would write many more, but it was not until Of Night and Blood that she finally felt the book she dreamed of writing had come to life. Since then, she has poured her soul into many more stories and has found herself in the process.

She spends her time advocating for human rights, drinking too much coffee, chasing around her children, and ordering new books for her endless TBR. She lives in the United States w

Gretchen Powell Fox spent her childhood in far-off places—figuratively and literally. She grew up with her nose buried in books and her feet on foreign soil. Both, she found, were essential in forming her deep fascination with stories.

Now, she crafts fantastical and futuristic worlds—along with the fiery heroines destined to change them for the better.

Her creative process involves copious amounts of Sour Patch Kids and sleeping fitfully. Her many interests include Taylor Swift, polka dots, reading fantasy novels, and playing the ukulele.

She lives in Northern Virginia with her husband and two wild, wonderful children.
