Alyssa Daring writes twisty, dark contemporary romance stories. She loves a good dare (as long as it’s not life threatening) and is known to be a risk taker. A roller coaster enthusiast – she tries to bring that thrill to her writing by taking her characters on daring journeys towards happily ever afters. She spends her non-writing time cooking (she’s a chef), collecting african american dolls and figurines and binge-watching crime dramas and reality tv. Alyssa loves to connect with readers.

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?

I have been writing for as long as I can remember. It started on a snowy day near Christmas when I was three or four. I don't recall the impetus, but my older sister, whom I idolized and copied as much as possible, started writing a story. Not to be outdone, I started writing a story too. I've been writing ever since. I am proud to have written the Rune Series books ("Rune Sword", "Rune Master", "Rune Hunter", and "Rune King's Daughter"), and I intend to continue my first series, Clans, which began with the novel "Nightchild". I'm currently working on an Arthurian retelling, "Arthur Rex".

Stacey Jaine McIntosh is a USA TODAY Bestselling Author who hails from Perth, Western Australia where she resides with her husband and their four children. While her heart has always belonged to writing, she once toyed with being a Cartographer and subsequently holds a Diploma in Spatial Information Services. When not with her family or writing she enjoys reading, photography, genealogy, history, Arthurian myths and witchcraft.

A native of Southern California, Christine Pope has been writing stories ever since she commandeered her family’s Smith-Corona typewriter back in the sixth grade. Many reams of dead trees later, she’s happy to announce that her debut novel, Fringe Benefits,was published by Pink Petal Books on April 8, 2010. Her short fiction has appeared in Astonishing Adventures, Luna Station Quarterly, and the new journal of dark fiction, Dark Valentine. Her paranormal novella, Playing With Fire, was released on August 5, 2010. While Fringe Benefits is a straight contemporary romance, she writes in a variety of genres, including paranormal romance, fantasy, horror, science fiction, and historical romance. She blames this on being easily distracted by bright, shiny objects, which could also account for the size of her shoe collection. After spending many years in the magazine publishing industry, she now works as a freelance editor in addition to writing fiction. She lives with her husband and an explosively fluffy Pomeranian mix. Her house is pink, but don’t hold that against her.

When I found my big brother’s bookshelves, there was no turning back - like they say, through books we can live a thousand lives. Books can soothe us, transform us or just entertain us, and all that’s good. I used to work as a psychologist, but took the leap to set up a small business to find more time for my kids and writing. I hail from the tiny country of Finland, where you can tell it’s summer when your feet plop out of the ice (well, that's how it can sometimes seem)... In my spare time, I can be be found cross-country skiing with my phone in one hand (you know when those plot twist ideas pop into your head, right!?) or wandering about sipping on a smoothie (very likely). I'm gonna be dabbling in different writing projects and hopping genres, and plans are, there's no plan...But definitely urban fantasy, paranormal romance, a military space opera series, and fairytale retellings...for now!

Harper A. Brooks may be a Jersey girl at heart, but now she likes to hideout in the mountains of Virginia with bigfoot and all his little woodland friends. Even though classic authors have always filled her bookshelves, she finds her writing muse drawn to the dark, magical, and romantic. When she isn’t creating entire worlds with sexy shifters or legendary love stories, you can find her either with a good cup of coffee in hand or at home snuggling with her furry, four-legged son, Sammy.
