Edith Wharton
Edith Wharton emerged as one of America’s most insightful novelists, deftly exposing the tensions between societal expectation and personal desire through her vivid portrayals of upper-class life. Drawing from her deep familiarity with New York’s privileged “aristocracy,” she offered readers a keenly observed and piercingly honest vision of Gilded Age society.

Her work reached a milestone when she became the first woman to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, awarded for The Age of Innocence. This novel highlights the constraining rituals of 1870s New York society and remains a defining portrait of elegance laced with regret.

Fisher is a former evolutionary biologist and academic, where he developed a passion for writing while publishing peer-reviewed research from 2013 to 2023. He gradually transitioned to writing fiction full time as a means to escape the technical writing associated with his scientific work. Influenced by Ann Rule, James Patterson, and Edgar Allan Poe, Fisher’s fast-paced storytelling goes against the grain with morally gray characters, sinister turns, and bittersweet endings.
He enjoys reading, hiking, and cooking in his spare time. -

The most trusted, authoritative and influential voice in the publishing world, Kirkus Book Reviews, raves about Stephen Panus's debut work, "Walk On", proclaiming it to be "a raw, moving memoir that deftly explores grief and hope in equal measure . . . It is Panus' unique and sometimes poetic turns of phrase, however, that truly bring Jake's story to life . . . The author's acknowledgment that grief is an "unwelcome topic in our society" makes his willingness to tackle it head-on even more admirable."
