Phillip Murrell

I'm a lifelong reader and fan of stories in every medium. I started writing for fun in the second grade (I think my mom may still have my school-assigned short story "The Frozen Eyes," which I shakily wrote on lined paper). I'm also an Explosive Ordnance Disposal officer in the United States Army. While on my second deployment to Iraq, I began to write again. First, I wrote screenplays, then moved on to writing novels, the first being "Bystanders."

I've been married for over sixteen years to my amazing wife. I also have three children. Thankfully, they also love sci-fi, fantasy, and roller coasters as much as I do.

During my free time I'll either be reading/watching TV/playing video games or I'll be spending my hard-earned money doing someth

Arriah Kiprujistho

Author also writes under Dami Yanti

Dami is a dreamer trapped in a 9-to-5 world. After years of balancing reality with the allure of fictional realms, the pandemic served as a cosmic alarm, jolting her back to her true passion: storytelling. With a repertoire that spans supernatural romance, young adult fiction, and non-fiction, Dami invites readers to explore worlds both familiar and extraordinary. Her works, including the enchanting "Wishing for a Parallel World," "A Tale of Renascence," "Those were not love letters, but still I fell in love," in fiction categories and the thought-provoking "Just an Alien... Stuck on Earth," in a non-fiction category are a testament to her ability to weave intricate tales that resonate with the heart.

J.J. Green

J.J. Green is a British-Australian science fiction author with a lifelong love of distant landscapes, intriguing cultures and fascinating places. She was born within the sound of the bells of Mary-le-Bow church in Cheapside, London, making her a bona fide Cockney, and she lived in Australia, Laos and Taiwan before returning to the UK to settle down in Cambridge.

Green’s novels weave science-based speculation with richly personal stories. Her works explore themes of environmental degradation, political conflict, mythical resonance, human resilience, and the ethics of technology and expansion. Her characters—often strong women—navigate future worlds grounded in both scientific plausibility and mythic imagination.

P.M.F. Johnson

I've always liked to mix things together that have never been put together before. So while I've aimed to make my epic fantasy novels fun and fast-paced, I also want them to have some depth, to last in the memory, maybe even to deepen the soul a little.

The best stories aren't just about facing troubles, I figure, but also admitting why we got into trouble in the first place, finding the courage to change, and getting back out again, somehow.

This work has resulted first in my Saga of Sinnesemota series: Disk of Dragons, Trollen Rose, Call of the Labyrinth, and most recently Dark Alley Magic. These novels follow the challenges, failures and successes of Rev Caern, Gabryal Lansdon, and their friends as they battle the evil that threatens the

Toney Baus

I am a mangled survivor of globalism's blighting touch on US manufacturing. Luckily, I am also stubborn.

That image is of my beloved dog, Lucy. She moved on to the next stage after 16 years, not so long ago. We've recently adopted an abandoned kitten, too. I did not think I was ready for another pet yet, but it pleases me to know she is not in one of our overloaded animal shelters. She's quite the performance artist.

I've started writing the sequel to "Petals in the Hail," "Blades in the Sun," My goal in writing is to make riveting fantasy adventures worth banning in the mid-west. I am, at heart, a culture warrior, and I find the demonizing of the LGBTQ community revolting.

Dark, gritty, broken worlds; fast-moving plots, and morally grey characters; blurred lines between right and wrong, and plenty of twists. If you like the sound of that, you will enjoy E.K. Frances’ books.

Terry Birdgenaw

The author, Terry Birdgenaw, is a Metis of Oji-Cree, English, Scottish, Dutch and French-Canadian heritage, whose mother’s first cousin is a long-time lead elder of the Metis Nation of Canada. However, Terry would argue that by moving away from the Oji-Cree territory a few generations ago, his family became assimilated by European Canadian culture. Yet, Terry has long been fascinated by the story of his ancestor, Mistigoose, the indigenous Canadian woman who was the first to welcome a European into his mother’s family line.
Mistigoose was both a tragic figure and an inspiration for this series. Her tragedy was that she drowned herself while distraught over the loss of her first son William, whom her British husband Robert had taken permanent

Tenkara Smart grew up surfing in San Diego, California, even once having a close encounter with a hammerhead shark while surfing near the Mexican border, causing her to exit pronto! Now, living in Australia, where the sharks are generally larger, (and seemingly have more close-encounters with humans), she doesn’t surf - but she loves to kayak, paddleboard, walk/hike, and spend any minute she can with her husband. Together, they travel often, especially to Japan, where her heart feels at home.

M.A.R. Pereira

M.A.R. Pereira loves a good story told by real people whom the reader can relate to. He’s an author who doesn’t believe in invincible heroes and heroines, or in magic that defeats armies single handedly. In fact, he doesn’t believe in black and white reality at all. With a background in literature and narrative craft, he strives to avoid common pitfalls and steer clear of familiar tropes.

Literature is not for escapism, he believes--it is meant to sharpen the mind, deepen understanding, and provoke questions.

Guided by an innate gift for storytelling, he brings a vivid imagination and sharp narrative instinct to the world of fantasy fiction. Also a freelance editor and a poet for young readers, his work is known for its lyrical prose, immersi
