Samantha Ziegler

Samantha always dreamed of being an author. But the tipping point? Watching Season 8 of Game of Thrones.

That was the start of it all, when Samantha decided she would take charge of her own story, and picked up the pen. She wanted to create characters and worlds as captivating as Westeros, but with far more satisfying endings.

She thought she could, and so she did.

Samantha currently lives in Missouri with her wonderful and supportive boyfriend, and her adorable pit bull, Nathan.

She is an absolute nerd and reads as many nonfiction books as fiction, especially books about writing, marketing, and self-betterment. Her favorite TV show is The Magicians and her favorite band is Manchester Orchestra. She'll try just about anything... except skydivin

S.C. Grayson

I've been reading fantasy novels since I was a little girl stealing books from my older sister’s shelves, and that has developed into a love of writing and storytelling. My writing is currently focused on fantasy and paranormal romance. When I'm not sitting in a local coffee shop writing and consuming an iced americano, I am a nurse researcher focused on breast cancer genetics. Though born and raised in the Chicago area, I live in Maryland with my loving husband and our two cats, who enjoy contributing to my work by walking across my keyboard at inopportune moments (the cats, not the husband).

Nicolle May

Nicolle is an ADHD Fantasy “Traumance” author. When she isn’t living in a fantasy world or writing, she’s ruthlessly annoying those she loves with her outbursts of song, TV show quotes, and the occasional blonde moment. If you cannot find her snuggled up with her cats watching any fantasy movie or show known to man, you can find her at the gym becoming her own hero, sewing, reading, or vividly hallucinating new scene ideas for her books. She lives in Alberta, Canada, but was born and raised in Pennsylvania. And if you put anything peach, potato, or peanut butter with chocolate related in front of her ... prepare to be best friends.

“If Henry Cavill & Ian Somerhalder ever star in a movie together, I will spontaneously combust.”
