Loren Sorenson
Loren Sorensen is an emerging contemporary romance baby author who hails from Austin, Texas. A consummate word nerd, Loren has always been fascinated by finding the right words and story telling. She loves cultivating sweet, swoony romance that’s grounded in the hard realities of love that have satisfying happily ever afters. Ever the persistent mood reader and writer, Loren thrives in building creativity with music.
When she’s not writing or reading, she’s hoarding a tea collection like a dragon, enjoying the small, joyful moments with her family, and baking in the kitchen (and perhaps sneaking cookie dough in the process).
Emma Alisyn
Emma is a Black/white Muslim American mom of five, ages 6-22, in her mid-forties just trying to live her best life…which usually includes coffee, wine, and an unfortunate habit of one-clicking any pretty special edition that winds up in her feed. (If you DM it, she will come.)
She likes K-pop (#army, #moa) cultivation dramas (Till the End of the Moon,) precioussss silence, and collects more makeup than she uses.
She bends knee to Michelle Sagara West, Anne Bishop, N.K. Jemisin, Grace Draven, J.D. Robb, and Nalini Singh—a nod to Sanderson, Goodkind, Eddings, McCaffrey, and McKinley.
If you are looking for romantic epic fantasy set in complex, diverse, sex positive worlds with morally gray societies, powerful anti-heroes with THAD energy, multi-racial heroines at least 35—if not 350—coming into power, and a central theme of family, both dysfunctional and supportive, then you will binge her stories.

Cynthia Ann
Cynthia Ann is a writer of kissing books inspired by music. Her romances are infused
with humor, suspense and of course, music. She’s a wife and mother of 4 who lives with
her family in Southern California. Cynthia has been an elementary school teacher for
the last 27 years and finally decided “enough!” with decades of self-doubt when she
finally picked up the pen (aka keyboard) to write her first novel. Putting the words to
paper, she opened a floodgate of stories and has since created a universe of plots and
characters. With 19 novels now under her belt, she is making her debut in Kindle
Unlimited with her Hollywood Stories series, featuring bodyguards, pop stars, up and
coming actors all under true love’s spell.
Music is her most reliable muse, kicking off her preferred writing method: plantsing with
a playlist. From Mozart to Metallica, an inspired soundtrack (available for your listening
pleasure on Spotify) keeps the plot, and the romance, dynamic.
