Chris Heinicke

Although working as a baker for many years, writing has been a passion for Chris for some time, starting in high school and reigniting again in 2006, when he first got the inspiration to begin writing 'The Man In Black.'
After completing that project eight years later, he took part in NaNoWriMo in November 2014, culminating into a project named 5PM. Deciding to self-publish, 5PM came out in February 2015, and then The Man In Black in August.
2016 saw the release of 7PM, and in that same year, his writing path met with that of Canadian author Kate Reedwood. A mutual respect of each other's work ignited an interest in working together, creating the Legacy Hunter series, the first of which to come out in July 2017.

T.A. McEvoy

T.A. McEvoy grew up in heels and epic fantasy—despite being told girls weren’t supposed to love dragons, elves, or galaxies far, far away. She never saw a reason to stop.

Though she avoids camping (unless it involves a bed and no bugs), she’s drawn to stories with quiet strength, chosen family, and healing that matters as much as heroism. In her world of Vacari, forests grieve, dragons protect, and love comes in many forms—none of them requiring you to change to be worthy.

She writes for readers like her—those who never quite fit in, who carry softness like armor, and who want their fantasy to have soul.

To her, dragons are not monsters—or boyfriends.
They’re guardians.
And sometimes… they’re the only ones who understand.

Paul McDonald

I retired from the workforce in 2019.

My wife and I bought a bushland property on the Burnett River near Bundaberg a vibrant town of 100,000 people in regional Queensland, Australia.

I had write a book on my bucket list and after 2 years of retirement, I decided if I was ever going to write a book I better start.

It was one of the most challenging activities I have ever undertaken, it is fair to say, writing did not come naturally to me.

Eventually I finished my first book “Innocent Assassin”.

I have enjoyed the creative process of writing as well as the personal growth from forcing myself out of my comfort zone.

I have since finished the Sakura Bianchi trilogy and commenced writing a horror trope.

I hope you enjoy my stories.
