Jennifer Taylor-Gray
Jennifer Taylor-Gray writes stories where fairytales are turned upside down, witches reclaim their voices, and women of all ages seize their power. Her debut novel, The Old Crones Club, is a tale of rebellion, found family, and dark secrets—perfect for anyone who ever wondered what might happen if the “wicked” witches told their side of the story.
She grew up inspired by strong, spirited women—from Matilda to Jane Eyre—and may or may not have spent her childhood trying to move things with her mind.
When she’s not writing, Jennifer enjoys reading, swimming, and wandering into fun little adventures with her husband.
She’s on a quiet quest to sneak a dragon into every one of her books—even the ones set in modern-day London.

Sarah Long
I’m Sarah, a romantasy author who spends way too much time among crystals, plants, and various forms of wildlife.

I was born and raised in a hippie surfer town in California before running away to New Orleans to read literature with the local vampires.
After a hurricane and a degree, I found myself wandering around Los Angeles, dreaming of becoming a novelist in a script writer world.
The heat was a tad too much, so I moved across the pond to pursue an MA in English Language and Linguistics in London, focusing on practical applications of linguistic theories on fiction.
Now I’m writing from my lake-adjacent cottage in the Netherlands, with my husband and two children cheering me on. -
Ilona Andrews
Ilona Andrews is the pseudonym for a husband-and-wife writing team. Ilona is a native-born Russian and Gordon is a former communications sergeant in the U.S. Army. Contrary to popular belief, Gordon was never an intelligence officer with a license to kill, and Ilona was never the mysterious Russian spy who seduced him. They met in college, in English Composition 101, where Ilona got a better grade. (Gordon is still sore about that.)

Gordon and Ilona currently reside in Oregon with their two children, three dogs and a cat. They have co-authored two series, the bestselling urban fantasy of Kate Daniels and romantic urban fantasy of The Edge. -

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.
