Authors
Award-winning author Starr Z. Davies is a Wisconsin native. From a young age, Starr has been obsessed with superheroes like Batman and Captain America, which inspired her debut novel, Ordinary. If Starr had a superpower, she would be an Empath, because she is an emotional sponge and easily relates to how others are feeling. Years ago, Starr earned the nickname "Character Assassin" because she had a habit of utterly destroying her characters—physically and emotionally. It's a badge she wears with honor. Daughter of the Yellow Dragon, the first book in the Fractured Empire Saga, won the 2021 Pinnacle Achievement Award for outstanding historical fiction. If you want to get to know her, you can join her secret Assassins' Guild: https://www.facebook.com/groups/autho... You can follow Starr online: https://linktr.ee/SZDavies

Cat is a dragon taming, lion chasing, unapologetic fire sign – who loves all things dark, romantic and monstrous. She hunts bad guys for a living, enjoys long walks in the woods, whiskey neat, rain and fog, and old school gothic horror novels. Cat writes gothic-inspired dark fantasy romance – gritty, complex books that give center stage to strong, adult female voices and aim to make you fall madly in love with the dark. Her heroes aren’t the kind of men you’d have for breakfast – but they are the kind who’d have you for dinner. She and her family live in the USA, surrounded by deep forests and misty mountains. She enjoys flower gardening, quilting, drinking coffee, and lounging beside her faithful familiar – a black smoke cat full of her own magic.
