Jessica Spruill
I am an author publishing my debut fantasy novel, OF SONG AND DARKNESS, in the summer of 2024. This will be a standalone with Little Mermaid vibes and a morally grey pirate captain.
By day, I work as a Registered Dietitian at a health department. By night, I escape into the fantasy worlds in my mind and bring them to you through my writing. I began my writing career on Wattpad as a paid writer, where you can find the first books I have written. I live with my husband and two German shorthaired pointers on the family farm. I am an avid baker and enjoy living off the land.

Gabrielle Landi
Gabrielle Landi lives in Southern Indiana with her husband and children and has a soft spot for every stray cat that ends up on her front porch.

If she had to write her own love story in tropes, it would include second chance romance and a secret relationship, and would be entirely unbelievable.

Her love of magic, adventure, and romance hasn’t waned with age, and she endeavors to write nail-biting stories with compelling, complex characters, and finding light in dark times.
She is incredibly blessed to spend her time writing from her favorite chair with her legs curled up under her as she fights the southern heat. When she isn’t writing, she’s either reading, drawing, or sewing, in that order, and most likely thinking about writing as she does. -

Writing is her true passion (after raising her daughter, of course), and she writes as often as possible. One of her favorite things about writing is creating a world where people can escape reality for a little while, maybe even walk away feeling hopeful about the real world around them.

Lauren H. Salisbury
Lauren H Salisbury writes science fiction and fantasy stories about courage, love, and redemption. She includes all kinds of relationships in her novels but loves a good found family trope when she comes across one.

When she's not engrossed in fictional worlds, she enjoys crafting, nature, food, and sleep. She lives in Yorkshire, England with her husband and a rampant cheese plant but tries to follow the sunshine south in winter.
A one-time avid collector of physical books, she made the switch to an e-reader when she discovered they could hold far more than one large suitcase. Her only complaint about them is that they're no good for taking bookish pictures.

Shaylin Gandhi

By twelve, she’d perfected the art of reading under the covers by flashlight, and in high school, she attempted her first novel. She now writes from the mountains of Golden, Colorado, where she lives with her husband and identical twin daughters. When not finagling words onto paper, Shaylin can be found hiking, scheming up ways to earn another passport stamp, or ingesting enough coffee to power a small city.

Sara George
Writing fun stories with realistic, flawed human characters is quite possibly my favorite thing in the world. I love people, I love how we all experience life so uniquely, and I love exploring different perspectives, especially those that help me and my readers connect with each other. That's the power of books!
Buy books on Amazon
My mission as an author is to help my readers see the human race in a more compassionate light. To look deeper at one another rather than instantly passing judgement. To extend empathy despite our differences. And I package it all up in fun, compelling, maybe slightly fantastical stories.
As someone who consumes stories in all their iterations, be it film, television, song, poetry, or especially books, it's been my dream to contribute -

Her focus is on creating immersive experiences that are whimsical and fun while weaving deeper themes and meaningful content throughout her stories.
