R.J. Piper

R. J. Piper is a villain, a rogue, and a scourge upon society. Her favorite pastimes are hiking, playing with her dogs, and doing stupid things solely for the sake of the bit. She was born and raised in California and studies political science.

R. J. writes spicy romance with a decidedly dark comedy bent. If you pick up one of her books, you can expect cynical, damaged, often violent people falling in hopeless, sappy love with other cynical, damaged, and violent people.

Nothing Good is her first novel and the first in the Gratuitous Violets trilogy.

You can berate R.J. for corrupting the morals of America here:

L.A. Witt

L.A. Witt and her husband have been exiled from Spain and sent to live in Maine because rhymes are fun. She now divides her time between writing, assuring people she is aware that Maine is cold, wondering where to put her next tattoo, and trying to reason with a surly Maine coon. Rumor has it her arch nemesis, Lauren Gallagher, is also somewhere in the wilds of New England, which is why L.A. is also spending a portion of her time training a team of spec ops lobsters.

Authors Ann Gallagher and Lori A. Witt have been asked to assist in lobster training, but they "have books to write" and "need to focus on our careers" and "don't you think this rivalry has gotten a little out of hand?" They're probably just helping Lauren raise her army of squ

Jesse H. Reign

I'm Jesse, and I write contemporary and paranormal MM romance.

Whether my characters are born magical, or whether magic is something they make between the sheets, I strive to take the reader into the mind of the narrator. My ultimate goal is to leave the reader feeling like they’ve made a new friend or have spent a few hours flirting with a brand-new book boyfriend.

I love coffee, chocolate and daydreaming, in no particular order. I love conflicted characters, lust at first sight and angst – no seriously, ALL the angst. Give it to me!
