Shannon Mayer
A long time ago, in a galaxy far away, I was born into a family of Star Wars nuts. I have a lot of siblings (somewhere I lost count but I think there was more than could be numbered on one hand) and being one of the young padawans I was subjected to Star Wars marathons, on a regular basis. If you've read any of my books you'll see there is often a reference to said movies as a small homage to my upbringing. May the force be with you and all that jazz.

I started writing when I realized I didn't want to grow up not believing in magic, or not believing in creatures everyone else said didn't exist. That being said, I have never seen a fairy, unicorn or dragon. I had a neighbour who swore they fed the leprechauns in their garden, but I never caug -

Nyte Roze
Nyte Roze has been obsessed with all things creepy since childhood—especially the kind of horror that sneaks into your head and refuses to leave. But for her, monsters, ghosts, and curses just weren’t complete without a little romance (and preferably a fantasy world where the rules are deliciously unfair). Since books like that were hard to find, she decided to write her own. When she isn’t spinning tales of love and terror, she can be found daydreaming elaborate plot twists, typing furiously, or procrastinating by doom-scrolling.

Nicholas Wolfe
Nicholas Wolfe’s path to authorship is as gripping as the story he tells. Wrongly accused and imprisoned, Wolfe was cut off from the world—but not from his imagination. With no access to computers or traditional writing tools, he saved what little he had to buy notebooks and pencils, crafting Shatter entirely by hand, page by page. Fantasy became both his escape and his way of reclaiming identity. What started as a lifeline in confinement evolved into a raw, personal exploration of fate, power, and self-worth. Shatter isn’t just a novel—it’s a bold testament to the power of storytelling, born from injustice and transformed into art. Now free, Wolfe is dedicated to sharing his voice and world, proving that even in the darkest places, creativ

Dorian De LaRue
Dorian De LaRue does not just tell stories. He designs them to haunt.
Buy books on Amazon
An indie Canadian author known for dark romantic thrillers infused with psychological suspense, every line, every silence, and every twist in De LaRue’s work is deliberate, crafted to pull readers deeper into a world where love is dangerous, truth is fractured, and nothing is ever what it seems.
The breakout series, The Whispers of a Lie, stands as a masterpiece in psychological thrillers and mysteries. It is an emotional labyrinth where trauma, desire, and betrayal collide. With each page, De LaRue dares readers to question what they know until they are left breathless, uncertain of what they have just experienced.
Every detail is a trap. Every emotion, a thread.

An only child, from a young age D. Kathleen always felt more at home with her nose in a book, preferably something with magic, mythical beasts, and a badass female protagonist.
