Stephanie Fisher

I live in Austin, Texas with my husband and three dogs, and my favorite things (in no particular order) are ramen, bad karaoke, and Mass Effect (seriously, it's an obsession). My stories derive elements from pretty much everywhere, blending action, romance, and a healthy dose of worldbuilding. Growing up in a small Texas town, the stories I loved the most were the ones that were able to transport me to somewhere else entirely, fantastic other worlds painted on the page so vividly they just had to be real. So, reader beware and make sure to bring your passport.

Shardless is my first novel, and the first in a five book series. If you'd like more news from the island of Tempris, you can find me here:

Kathryn Colvin

One way or another, Kathryn Colvin has always been writing something weird. She got her start dictating surrealistic and entirely unhinged monster stories to her grandfather “Moon Rock” before she could spell the words herself, later wrote and performed in theatrical adaptations of Tolkien novels, and then wrote and directed her own feature-length retro superhero sci-fi B-movie, The Teenage Mummies from Beyond, shown at an independent movie theater in Portland, Oregon. During her time in college (some years after high school) she majored in English literature, published peer-reviewed articles as an undergrad, and successfully avoided taking any creative writing courses.

Now a novelist and an independent researcher, Kathryn’s writing is the f

L. Ann

If you are looking for gentle romps through the flowers, with lovers holding hands and never making mistakes, then my books are not for you.

I don't write heroes or heroines, I write people with baggage, history and problems. My characters are flawed, they're messy, they make disastrous mistakes that are hard to come back from. My stories are not sweet or kind, they are dark and, at times, cruel. They deal with uncomfortable subjects and I do not apologise for it.

If you like plot twists, characters you don't think you'll ever grow to love but eventually do, sarcasm, dark paths and messy relationships, then come on in. The water may be deep and shark-infested, but I know the way out ...I promise.
