Since you can't actually live in a fantasy realm, you will often find Cheyenne creating her own. Born and raised in Lancaster, PA, she often turned to books and writing as an escape from the mundane. Her animals, husband, and toddler make life quite interesting at home. If she is not wrangling the household, getting lost in her own worlds, or crafting something for her business, you'll be sure to find this dragon curled up on the couch devouring her hoard of books, tea, and chocolates.

JD Marcella has been writing since she was a teenager, scribbling half-formed worlds into notebooks instead of doing anything remotely practical. After the loss of her father, she realized it was time to stop hiding her stories in drawers and start bringing them to life—both for him, and for herself. She lives with her infinitely patient husband and stepson, a miniature version of herself in her daughter, and a brain that runs on a unique blend of caffeine, hyperfocus, and ADHD-fueled chaos.

When she’s not writing emotionally complex characters or orchestrating tangled plotlines, she’s likely annoying a very small but devoted circle of friends who’ve endured countless rants about lore mechanics, emotional beats, and the color of a character’s shirt in chapter seventeen—with alarming grace. The Queen of Light and Shadows is her debut epic fantasy series.

John Moon is a debut novelist and the author of two self-published poetry collections. Known for their lyrical voice and emotionally resonant writing, they bring a poet’s sensitivity to their fiction, weaving vivid imagery, humor, and nuanced storytelling into every page. Music has always been the pulse of his personality, with deep affection for a wide range of genres. Having drawn inspiration from people-watching in his time as a weekly patron, DJ, and promoter at several alternative music clubs, NAME THREE SONGS marks their first full-length novel. He lives in Central New Jersey with his wife, Evelynn, daughter, Amelie, and niece, Skye. He also believes the correct term is “pork roll.”

Kayla Robinson is an independently published author who primarily writes fantasy or dark fantasy novels. Her debut trilogy Wickedly Immortal, is a dark fantasy with Celtic influence that has vampires, magic, dragons, and spice. When she’s not writing or reading, she can be found at renaissance faires, fantasy events, or out riding and competing her horses at events near her farm in rural Kentucky.

I write spicy romances for grown women who like their love stories with a little more chaos and significantly worse decision-making.

​

My books are full of women who have lived enough life to know better, men who are about to become their problem anyway, ridiculous situations that somehow keep getting worse, and the kind of chemistry that rarely makes things easier. Sometimes there are werewolves. Sometimes there are secret kink clubs above coffee shops. Sometimes your roommate is technically dead.

I see no reason romance should behave itself just because everyone involved is old enough to know better.

​

Expect big feelings, sharp banter, plenty of heat, happy endings, and at least one person making a decision that would have been much easier to avoid with even a small amount of common sense.

​

Basically, I write romance, chaos, questionable decisions, and excellent sex.

​

I regret very little.
