Nanea Knott is a romance author who hopes to one day have name recognition for being famous not infamous. She’s determined to find the readers who like a good story with a little humor, some romance and of course, sex. She has two naughty cats and is the proud owner of the title “crazy cat lady.” She reads faster than she writes, has a mad obsession for arts and crafts, and owns way more coffee mugs a person who doesn’t drink coffee ought to have.

K. Matt is a graduate of Philadelphia, PA's University of the Arts. Her interests in sci-fi, fantasy, horror, comics, and anime have inspired her to both write and illustrate her own work.

The books in the Hell Bent series are a combination of prose and graphic novels, and tend to be a mixture of (somewhat soft) sci-fi, urban fantasy, and horror. It is something of a pet project for her, a pet that she feeds with time, and that feeds on her sleep.

Her artwork can be found at kaylamatt.webs.com.

C.L. Cannon is a USA Today Bestselling Author, publisher, publicist, editor, designer, and lots of other occupations with the -er sound at the end!

She is a woman of many talents who never gives up or stops improving. She enjoys writing about love and friendship. She loves it even more when she can add fantasy and science fiction aspects to those themes!

She’s a self-proclaimed Harry Potter freak (Slytherin Pride people), lover of anything Joss Whedon (Spuffy forever), Tolkien fiend (who enjoys second breakfast), an addict of classic literature (Social class struggles turn me on… literally ;) yah see what I did there?)

She spends her days trying to #bookstagram (and probably failing), helping other authors grow and succeed (I love my job), and loving on her two babes (velociraptors), Seth and Petey.

She’s also sort of a social media enthusiast! You can find her basically everywhere on the net (man I just aged myself).

Or, you can visit her website for more content!

I grew up loving the endless possibilities Fantasy and Sci-Fi held between their pages or played on the big screen. Star Wars, Stephen King, The Neverending Story, vampires, Disney, I loved it all (and still do!) At age ten, I picked up a pencil and began coming up with stories of my own that toyed with other worlds and the mysteries of this one. ​​

After releasing romantic suspense under the pen name, RM Alexander, Caitlin Benoit started whispering in my ear and her story started forming. My passion for adventure and travel bled onto the pages as Caitlin was launched into the adventure of a lifetime. But because the story wasn't focused on romance, I knew I needed a new pen name that would be focused more on UF / Sci-Fi, and Melody Ash was born.

As a complex trauma survivor, I often write characters who often face the worse circumstances and must search for their inner strength. It is my hope readers not only connect with the characters and stories but also are encouraged, as they read the last word, that their real-world problems can be overcome.

Bob James is a native of Oak Park, Illinois. He went to Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas where he began studying criminology with the idea of being a lawyer. While there, he felt a call to preach and ended up with a degree in Religion and History. He married Lucy Garrett upon graduation and went to Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary where he earned a Master of Divinity Degree.

He pastored First Baptist Church of Paint Rock, Texas for a number of years until he moved to Corpus Christi, Texas as pastor of Calvary Baptist Church. During his time there, he felt called to pastor Gulf Coast Baptist Deaf Church. He left the pastorate and began working in the educational field as a sign language interpreter. After that he taught for twenty-four years in the areas of Special Education and Technology in both elementary and middle schools.

During his teaching career, he began writing the devotionals that have become the Daily Enduring Truth devotional series available here. The devotionals were birthed in his own spiritual journey as he sought to read the Bible through every year and share his thoughts, struggles and dreams with his friends. He also began writing fiction with an emphasis on crime and mystery. He retired in 2016 in part to take care of his wife who was diagnosed with breast cancer in January of that year. The personal tale of that journey is in a soon to be published book called “God’s Got This.”

His publishing schedule is to finish compiling and editing the Sunrise Edition of Daily Enduring Truth, edit and publish God’s Got This, and then work on his fiction. He has a short story coming out in an anthology in July that will be available soon.

He writes daily devotionals that can be seen at Daily Enduring Truth (http://dailyenduringtruth.com), literary reviews and personal writing is published at Ice Cream Castles (http://bothsidesofwriting.wordpress.com), and keeps a personal journal at Bob James – The Author (http://bobjamesauthor.com). He will interact with his readers there and on his Facebook Author page Bob James – the Writer (https://www.facebook.com/BobJamesauthor/)

As if all this wasn’t enough, Bob has been involved in scholastic chess as a coach, Tournament Director, and organizer for over 20 years through the Optimist Coastal Bend Chess Federation and the Texas Chess Association. He is working to develop a book for beginning chess players based on his experiences working with players at the elementary and middle school level.
