Hazel S. Wilkes
Hazel is simply a lover of words and stories, overflowing with made-up worlds, scenarios, and characters.

Hazel lives in Texas with her equally nerdy fiancé, her fluffy dog-child (who's named after a character from the novel that first truly revealed the beauty in crafting words to her), and the two sweetest cats a pet mom could hope for. Aside from writing, she enjoys playing and coaching sports, watching anime, spending time with her family, and discussing books with her bookish besties. -

As a kid, S.M. Gaither spent way too much time playing video games like Final Fantasy and reading every book she could get her hands on instead of doing silly things like her assigned homework. As an adult…Well, not much has changed. Her goal is to write books that distract others from their life’s obligations, too, thus creating an army of fellow procrastinators over which she can reign supreme. These days, her personal favorite places to procrastinate are in the mountains near her North Carolina home, in the company of her husband, their daughter, and their very spoiled dog. -

Howdy! I'm Tam Delakor, a visually impaired indie author excited to share my story with the world! While I don't have years of experience when it comes to writing, I do have an intense passion for it. For as long as I can remember, I have always loved to read, especially books in the Fantasy and Sci-Fi genres. Being able to be teleported into a new, fantastical world was something I looked forward to with each new novel I read. Long ago, I had the idea to create my own world to share with others. So, with the encouragement of my family and friends, I began writing my first book. Then, what started as a single book has now turned into two multi-book series with more on the way.
