Indie Sparks
Indie Sparks lives just outside Austin, Texas where she spends her days arguing with her dog about whether or not he really needs to go outside again, and writing strong heroines whose knees go weak for cinnamon roll heroes with dirty mouths and the skills to walk the talk.
Nicole Craig
At ten years old, Nicole Craig snuck into a secret box of her mother’s books filled with mysteries and romances. Since that day, she has a book (or five) available at all times. At the age of thirty, her husband encouraged her to try her hand at writing. It only took another twenty-five years of teaching high school and a pandemic to do it, creating the types of books she found in that magical box. Living in southeastern Wisconsin, she is a devout Milwaukee Brewers fan, mother of three furry feline children, and married to The One. After twenty-five years as a high school English teacher, she decided to retire to spin fantastic tales, travel, and live the ultimate fantasy: reading a book a day until the end of time.

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.
