Ashley James

Ashley James is a romance author who enjoys writing (and reading) LGBTQIA+ books.

Ashley is introverted and slightly (okay, majorly) awkward. She refuses to make this section sound like a tacky dating app profile, so she won't be telling you how much she enjoys music, how she thoroughly enjoys dancing and singing in her kitchen, despite not being able to carry a tune, and she won't be telling you about her love of toxic and broken fictional men.

Bianca Miller

I'm an extra bubbly, introvert, who thrives in the chaos of storytelling. I write romance novels with BIG feelings and even BIGGER happy endings.

I’ve been writing ever since I can remember. It’s always been an outlet, one that allowed me to handle my own emotions while creating an escape for others too. Over time, the only thing that changed was that my diaries morphed into voice memos and sticky notes.

I will say, I have to credit my success as a writer to my 2008 self who stayed up way too late writing fanfiction about Panic! At The Disco. There is truly nothing more authentic than a 14-year-old writer who fully believes she’s going to marry a band member.
