Mara Heath

Hi, I'm Mara, a former teacher and academic who's finally pursuing her dream career as an author.

I write New Adult Contemporary Fantasy Romance with a splash of not-so-dark (dusk?) academia. Give me a young woman on her path to self-discovery, the supernatural colliding with the real-world, and tons of angsty romance, and I'm ready to play.

I live in Maryland with my husband, son, and old-lady cat, Sugar, who has stolen my favorite chair and electric blanket. When I'm not writing, I'm reading, And reading. And reading.

Brighton Walsh

Award-winning USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brighton Walsh spent nearly a decade as a professional photographer before taking her storytelling in a different direction and reconnecting with her first love: writing. When she’s not lost in her own made up worlds, she’s probably either reading or shopping—maybe even both at once. She lives in the Midwest with her real life hero of a husband, her two kids—both taller than her—and her dog who thinks she’s a queen. Her boy-filled house is the setting for dirty socks galore, frequent dance parties (okay, so it's mostly her, by herself, while her children look on in horror), and more laughter than she thought possible.

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
