My name is Zoey Xolton, and I’m an Australian Speculative Fiction Author. I like to daydream, and write stories about the beautiful and improbable, the dark and fantastical, as well as the adventurous and utterly romantic! Whether it’s fairy tales, fantasy, horror, paranormal romance, urban fantasy, or science-fiction…I dabble in it. I have featured in over 100 anthologies to date, and am currently working on progressively longer stories. I pray you enjoy, and fall in love with the deliciously tempting tales, and the characters that I bring into the world. My writing is my guilty pleasure…perhaps reading it will become one of yours?

Amber Cummins was born in south east Michigan but currently lives in Toledo, Ohio with her husband and stepson. Amber's obsession with books started with her first retail job at a local bookstore. She fell in love with the friendships and companions she made with the customers that shared her dedication to books. Book retail has been a big part of Amber's adult career. She became a huge fan of the fantasy genre when she read books from the Dragonlance series by Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis. ​When Amber isn't writing, she enjoys reading, crochet, gardening, canning, and ghost hunting with her husband. You won't catch her writing on Friday night though, because that will always be Family Game Night. Amber holds the family record in wins for Life the board game, Magic the Gathering, and Uno. Family time is very important to her. ​Writing has been a long life dream of Amber's. One dream she never thought she would realize. With the death of her grandfather, suddenly the true meaning of life came into perspective. No longer would Amber's stories go untold. Every day we have a choice, we can stay in bed to think about our dreams or we can get up, get dressed, and live them. Thank you for being a part of a dream come true.

Born and raised a Jersey girl with easy access to NYC, I was never short on ideas for stories. I started writing when I was 11, and my passion for creating worlds exploded from that point on. Romance writing came later, since kissing gave you cooties at 11, but when it did, I embraced it. Since then, all of my heroes and heroines find their happily ever after, even if it takes a good fight, or ten, to get there. I currently live in Central Florida with my husband, our four children, and two parakeets. I work part-time as a PCU nurse when I’m not writing or traveling between sports and other activities. I love to hear from readers! Contact me at kiranyteauthor@gmail.com

Born in the Year of the Dragon, Vonnie Winslow Crist has had a life-long interest in reading, writing, art, myth, fairytales, folklore, and legends. Having been a night person since infancy, she is also quite fond of stars, moonlight, forests, owls, and other creatures of the darkness. After attending Perry Hall Elementary, Parkville Junior High, and Perry Hall High, she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Art Education from Towson University. She married, then raised three children, did freelance illustrating and writing, and taught poetry for the Maryland State Arts Council’s Artists in Education Program. Thirty years after graduating from Towson, she returned to her alma mater and earned a Masters in Professional Writing. A firm believer that the world around us is filled with miracles, mystery, and magic, Vonnie still sees fairies amidst the trees, mermaids on jetties, and ghosts and goblins of all sorts in the shadows. Her garden overflows with herbs and statues of animals. Toadstool rings sprout regularly on her lawn. And she's found so many four-leafed clovers that she keeps them in a jar. Vonnie invites bookstores, book groups, science fiction and fantasy cons, book festivals, teachers, home schoolers, writing groups, faerie festivals, and interested readers to contact her via her website: http://vonniewinslowcrist.com or blog: http://vonniewinslowcrist.wordpress.com or Facebook Author's Page: http://tinyurl.com/Fb-Vonnie-Winslow-... for appearances, signings, school visits, interviews, and workshops.

K.N. Nguyen is a fantasy author and the founder of DragonScript, a group that offers an outlet for new writers. Growing up, she often found herself immersed in some imaginary world, conquering enemy nations, and saving the day. As time went on, her love for horrible puns and nerd culture pulled her out of these worlds and brought her back to reality. It wasn't until she started working at her office job that she felt the itch to begin writing. Her first two books, King's Blood and Oath Blood, are part of The Fallen series, which draws on her love of ancient Mediterranean mythology and epic fantasy. A native of Sacramento, California, K.N. Nguyen spends her time singing karaoke, playing taiko, enjoying rhythm dancing games, and traveling with her friends and family when she isn't writing.

I'm a newly (self)published author. While I'm still honing my craft I have over 75 novel ideas written down and waiting to be finished. *crosses fingers* Hopefully one day I will get them all written. I'm currently playing around with several Cinderella themed books. Honestly I want to see how many Cinderella novels I can come up with without becoming redundant. Also working on a better cover for The Witch's Curse.
