V.M. Waitt
V.M Waitt discovered her love for writing as a child, spending many hours writing countless stories about horses, her first love, some of which were published in an equine magazine. Her creative side fostered in college as a film major, but it was writing that drove her to further explore the plots in her head. Before braving the world of original fiction, she wrote fan fiction and found her niche writing erotic m/m stories containing conflict, angst, flawed characters, difficult topics, and challenging situations, often provoking emotional responses from her readers.

Wade Kelly
Wade Kelly lives and writes in conservative, small-town America on the east coast where it’s not easy to live free and open in one's beliefs. Wade writes passionately about controversial issues and strives to make a difference by making people think. Wade does not have a background in writing or philosophy, but still draws from personal experience to ponder contentious subjects on paper. There is a lot of pain in the world and people need hope. When not writing, she is thinking about writing, and more than likely scribbling ideas on sticky notes in the car while playing "taxi driver" for her three children. She likes snakes, can’t spell, and has a tendency to make people cry.
