Tara Straight

Tara Straight is a Stetson University graduate and lifelong bookworm. If she’s not writing about fantasy worlds with swoon-worthy romances, she’s probably reading about them. Having spent most of her life in central Florida, some of her greatest joys are walking on the beach, visiting Florida’s many springs, frequenting the theme parks, and attending comic and anime conventions. No matter what she may be doing, you can guarantee it is with her husband, daughter, and daughter’s stuffed pink bunny in tow.

Tara’s debut new adult romantasy novel, Enchantment of Silver and Sea, will be available on October 14, 2025.

Robin D. Mahle

Brianna Remus

Brianna Remus is a Florida-based author who lives with her husband, three pups, and terrorizing cat. She started her writing journey in 2016 to ward off the woes of graduate school. The light-hearted hobby quickly turned into a passion filled dream that consistently distracts her from the real world.

When Brianna isn't working as a psychology resident or writing books, you can find her getting lost in the worlds created by others (through writing and movies), spending a day at the ocean, or taking a walk in the forest. She loves to spend her days outdoors surrounded by the beauties of nature.

A true Tolkien nerd, she also spends a lot of her time immersed in Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, as well as praying that Amazon doesn't complete

Rhiannon Hargadon

There was a willow I loved by a creek; sometimes I slept there. I was never afraid, alone in the dark. There was nothing to fear from water and trees and fairytales.

The real monsters were always people.

...

Can we forgive injustice?
Do we accept the fate forced upon us?
Should we fight, no matter the cost?
How do we move on from great loss?
What would you trade to relive one moment?

I write folklore and mythology inspired dark fantasy. Emphasis on dark. I don't shy away from serious issues and emotions: suicide, depression, mental illness, abuse, death, infertility, and assault are all in my books. These are not for pleasure or shock value, but because I want to write about authentic pain and suffering, and how we heal ourselves through the bad th
