S.L Gray

I’m S.L. Gray — a contemporary romance indie author based in the rainy (hoa hoa hoa) PNW. I write spicy stories with plenty of heart and sometimes I throw all shame out the window and go full smut. My books are powered by caffeine, dark (t)rap music, and inspired by the fear of being average. When I’m not drafting chaos, you can find me gaming (COD girlie forever), hoarding unread books or binging an unhealthy amount of paranormal and true crime content. I write for the readers who love banter, angst, touch-starved obsession, and characters who make bad decisions for good reasons.

Rebecca Parcha

I love all things fiction, specifically, fantasy. Add a little romance, or sometimes a whole heap, and you’ll find my specialty: romantasy. As an avid reader and devourer of all things Fae, dragon, and magical, my work (as you may have guessed) is centered in that world. I love a strong female protagonist who defies the patriarchy while learning to love and trust.

I am one of the lucky ones; I married my high school sweetheart and am a mother of two adorable, rambunctious boys. As a Colorado native, I love the sunshine and crisp air while enjoying the outdoors with my guys…have I mentioned I’m outnumbered?

Stories have always held me captive—they are the air I breathe. It is my purest pleasure to share with you the tales that have been burn
