Kiersten Michele

KIERSTEN MICHELE is an author and bookworm who spends her mornings, evenings, weekends, and in-between times reading. She grew up on mysteries, fantasies, historical fictions, and any other story that would take her on an adventure. Her love of reading turned into a love of writing, and she took that love to college and…got a PhD in counseling psychology. Plot twist. But when she’s not writing extremely fascinating academic articles, she’s creating stories to take her on more adventures.

Her books so far include The Mage War Chronicles, The Shadow Weaver's Gambit, and Dragon Gods.

When not tucked into her reading chair, she’s out adventuring in the real world, climbing rocks, hiking rocks, and taking way too many photos of rocks.

L. Ann

If you are looking for gentle romps through the flowers, with lovers holding hands and never making mistakes, then my books are not for you.

I don't write heroes or heroines, I write people with baggage, history and problems. My characters are flawed, they're messy, they make disastrous mistakes that are hard to come back from. My stories are not sweet or kind, they are dark and, at times, cruel. They deal with uncomfortable subjects and I do not apologise for it.

If you like plot twists, characters you don't think you'll ever grow to love but eventually do, sarcasm, dark paths and messy relationships, then come on in. The water may be deep and shark-infested, but I know the way out ...I promise.

Rhiannon Hargadon

There was a willow I loved by a creek; sometimes I slept there. I was never afraid, alone in the dark. There was nothing to fear from water and trees and fairytales.

The real monsters were always people.

...

Can we forgive injustice?
Do we accept the fate forced upon us?
Should we fight, no matter the cost?
How do we move on from great loss?
What would you trade to relive one moment?

I write folklore and mythology inspired dark fantasy. Emphasis on dark. I don't shy away from serious issues and emotions: suicide, depression, mental illness, abuse, death, infertility, and assault are all in my books. These are not for pleasure or shock value, but because I want to write about authentic pain and suffering, and how we heal ourselves through the bad th

Laura A Blake

Hi! I’m Laura A. Blake, a fantasy romance author currently publishing my debut series,
The Shattered Sky Saga.
Though I’ve always been passionate about storytelling, my journey has taken me down many different paths. Along the way, I earned an MA in religion and classical history, became a teacher, and started a small business. After finally discovering the road that led me to writing, I’m thrilled to now share my worlds and stories with you.

Originally from Montreal, Canada, I now live in rural Maryland in a 200-year-old farmhouse with my husband, toddler, and five wild rescue cats. When I’m not reading or writing—or chasing a toddler or cat to see what they’ve gotten into—you can find me baking, exploring new restaurants and cafés, or sear

Wife and mother of two spectacular kids who strives to someday channel all my energy into exploding into glitter and bats. I've been writing heaving-bosom-style romance in my mind since the first time I saw Superman pick up Lois Lane. When I found my first harlequin pirate romance hidden under my mother's vanity, it was all over for me.

I enjoy chasing supercell thunderstorms down the interstate in hopes that I'll one day live my ultimate dream of seeing a tornado (from a respectably safe distance.)

When I'm not reading, writing, or watching the sky for a likely updraft, you might find me in the garden, in a field of way too many pepper plants (a ridiculous amount of pepper plants) with my trusty mega-poodle, Beatrice, standing majestically a
