Ruthie East
Ruthie East pens cozy mysteries where amateur sleuths don’t take "no" for an answer, especially when the clues don’t add up.
When she’s not writing, she’s probably staring woefully at all the unread books on her TBR, or scheming up ways to trick her cat into drinking more water.

Sam Tschida
Sam Tschida (pronounced cheetah) is a rom-com author. She lives with her gang of children, a couple of poorly behaved dogs, and one handsome man. When she’s not writing she is probably making lasagna. Just kidding. Who knows what she’s doing, least of all Sam. The only guarantee is that she is actively brainstorming her next book. And if we’re being honest, it’s pretty likely that she’s not making lasagna, unless it’s the frozen kind. Shout out to Mrs. Stouffers!

Besides living the dream writing books, she edits other peoples’ books and teaches writing classes, but she is a Pisces so we might as well call it what it is, therapy. So boiled down, Sam is an unlicensed therapist who also writes rom-coms. -
