John Gwynne

I am the author of epic fantasy series The Faithful and the Fallen, Of Blood and Bone and The Bloodsworn Saga. I'm also a Viking re-enactor and enjoy nothing more than standing in the shield wall with my three sons, who are as passionate about swords and axes as I am (when I'm not stuck in my coat of mail; it's harder than it looks).
I live on the south coast of the UK with my beautiful wife, three sons and my daughter, and an assortment of animals (at the moment three dogs, a horse and a lamb who thinks she's a dog).
My dogs think I am their slave.

Malice, my debut novel, was published by Pan Macmillan in 2012 and went on to win the David Gemmell Morningstar Award for Best Fantasy Debut of 2012. That was a truly wonderful moment, as David G

W.R. Gingell

W.R. Gingell is a Tasmanian author of urban fantasy, fairy-tale retellings, and madcap science fiction who doesn’t seem to be able to write a book without a body suddenly turning up. She solemnly swears that all such bodies are strictly fictional in nature.

W.R. spends her time reading, drinking a truly ridiculous amount of tea, and slouching in front of the fire to write. Like Peter Pan, she never really grew up, and is still occasionally to be found climbing trees.

James Lloyd Dulin

James is a nerd with a head full of stories and limited time to put them on the page.

He grew up in Grand Rapids, MI, spending an excessive amount of time at a local community theater where he developed his affinity for storytelling. This affinity grew into a deep admiration for language and spoken word poetry while studying mathematics and education at the University of Michigan. A few hundred mediocre poems and lackluster performances later, he decided his dream of writing a novel might not be as ridiculous as he once thought. He firmly believes that art—even silly books about magic, or maybe especially silly books about magic—has the ability to tell stories that sink beneath the surface.

B.S.H. Garcia

B. S. H. Garcia writes speculative fiction with teeth: epic stakes, unhinged characters, and just enough grief to leave a hangover. After all, is a story any good if you aren't questioning your own morality and whether you'd actually have the guts to unravel whatever power structure someone thought was a good idea?

As a child, she began dissecting such questions in her backyard with stick swords and library books, eventually earning an English Writing degree from the University of Colorado (which no one asked for, but she’s still proud of). She’s wandered from Oregon to New Zealand chasing stories, whispering plot twists to trees, drinking horn in hand, and pretending she’s not eavesdropping on the universe.

By day, she manages a household. B

R.M. Krogman

Rebecca M. Krogman is an epic and dark fantasy author from Iowa, USA.

She writes most of her stories in Midgate, a medieval-inspired world of magic, mermaids, and wyverns, with settings spanning two continents and the sea between. Her work is best known for its deep characterization, emotional and sometimes tragic scenes that leave a mark, and elaborate world-building. When she's not writing about Midgate, she dabbles in dark fairy tale retellings and cookbooks. She will never apologize for describing a tree, as she finds trees to be fascinating and far more alive than they get credit for.

Astor Y Teller

I’m a Norwegian author working hard to finish the three last books in my fantasy Hexalogy which will be coming out in short intervals at the end of 2025 and early 2026.

I also have an MA in Fine Arts, fascination for history, and of the old Norse (before the world of the Vikings) and a BA in computing so I think that trolls shouldn’t be trafficked abroad to troll farms but stay in the wilderness in Scandinavia to get less pixelation and become more real.

If you enjoy my books or want to get in touch you can find me under my pen name on Instagram. And yes, I also love to read, as long the story is entertaining.
