Louise McLaughlin

Louise was born in the same hospital where George Orwell wrote 1984. When growing up in East Kilbride in the 80s, it was clear to see the legacy he left; there was a library on every corner and two nuclear bunkers. She went to Glasgow University and achieved a Master of Arts. She then joined the sensible corporate world of paper shuffling. For the last 25 years, her career has culminated in various promotions to the heady heights where she now tells stories for a living. She still shuffles paper, but virtually now, so that’s progress.

Tenkara Smart

Tenkara Smart grew up surfing in San Diego, California, even once having a close encounter with a hammerhead shark while surfing near the Mexican border, causing her to exit pronto! Now, living in Australia, where the sharks are generally larger, (and seemingly have more close-encounters with humans), she doesn’t surf - but she loves to kayak, paddleboard, walk/hike, and spend any minute she can with her husband. Together, they travel often, especially to Japan, where her heart feels at home.

Juliette Godot

Always the history nerd, Juliette Godot has been working on her genealogy since childhood. Though she never found any royal blood, she did find many noteworthy characters.

Juliette spent too many years expediting print jobs and collecting debts at a hardware co-op before dropping out of the daily grind and going back to school.

Upon graduation, she landed a software engineering position at Carnegie Mellon University and spent the next fifteen years battling deadlines and traffic. By then, she had over 40,000 ancestors cataloged, but she wanted to know more than just names on the family tree.

The quest to find her roots led her down the back roads of France to the unsung principality of Salm where superstitions were part of everyday life. The m

Andrew Baltasar

The idea to write a novel came to me in 2013 when I was working at TU Dortmund as an early-stage researcher. Being a huge fan of Tolkien, Le Guin, Philip K. Dick and German-Scandinavian mythology, I came to form my own vision of a fictional world I would like to be part of. Informational technologies and quantum mechanics have hugely influenced me and my story, as the reader can see in all the terminology and mechanics of the book. Right now I am working on the second episode, which is a direct continuation of the first book and involves Aneralt, Ernärt, Kronos, Enigam (a.k.a Eotta), Tiamand, as well as some hidden and mythical characters.

Laurence Dickson

Hi, I’m Laurence.

I'm a writer and digital artist, drawn to the places where words, images, and emotions meet. My work drifts between worlds—Waking Luka is a fusion fiction novel, and Waiting for the Sun is a picture book that gently explores sadness through a child’s eyes. I'm currently working on a crime novel set in Spain.

I’m a former educator, a traveller at heart, and a collector of life's imperfect, unforgettable details.

I love books that make me feel something—whether it’s wonder, heartbreak, or just a smile at the perfect sentence. I’m here for the quiet moments, the twists I didn’t see coming, and the characters who feel real. I believe stories can help us find beauty in the ordinary and light in unexpected places.

C.M. Adams

C.M. Adams writes dark romance and speculative fiction for readers who crave intense worlds, unapologetic heroines, and love stories forged in fire. Her novels blend danger, desire, and high-stakes survival — whether in the chaos of a zombie apocalypse, the iron grip of a dystopian regime, or the treacherous courts of magic and power.

Her heroines fight, bleed, and sometimes burn, but they never bow. Her love interests are morally grey, fiercely protective, and just dangerous enough to keep you up all night turning pages.

Her books are published first on Amazon — available in Kindle Unlimited, eBook, paperback, and hardback — and are also available on Barnes & Noble, as well as through Gumroad, Payhip, IngramSpark, and directly on her website

Following the birth of her second child, she committed herself to writing her first novel. Unfortunately for her, story ideas rarely present themselves one at a time and she often has two (if not three) manuscripts in progress at once. When she's not writing her own material, she enj
