She thought she could, and so she did.

Samantha currently lives in Missouri with her wonderful and supportive boyfriend, and her adorable pit bull, Nathan.

She is an absolute nerd and reads as many nonfiction books as fiction, especially books about writing, marketing, and self-betterment. Her favorite TV show is The Magicians and her favorite band is Manchester Orchestra. She'll try just about anything... except skydivin

H.M. Wolfe

My name is Hallah Mikaela Wolfe and I am a writer based in Central Florida.

I am excited to announce that my debut novel, The Book Of Cin, will be released on September 14th, 2024.

When I am not writing, I spend time with my amazing husband and our two furry babies.

All my life I have written stories.

Whether it's in the form of music, shorts or poetry, I have used writing as a way to express the things I never felt I could say. I have novel after unfinished novel tucked away in the corners of notebooks and hard drives that will never see the light of day.

But then, my sister reintroduced me to fantasy novels and something clicked. I was finally able to put my story onto the page in a way that I felt would do it justice.

Nicolle May

Nicolle is an ADHD Fantasy “Traumance” author. When she isn’t living in a fantasy world or writing, she’s ruthlessly annoying those she loves with her outbursts of song, TV show quotes, and the occasional blonde moment. If you cannot find her snuggled up with her cats watching any fantasy movie or show known to man, you can find her at the gym becoming her own hero, sewing, reading, or vividly hallucinating new scene ideas for her books. She lives in Alberta, Canada, but was born and raised in Pennsylvania. And if you put anything peach, potato, or peanut butter with chocolate related in front of her ... prepare to be best friends.
