Biography

Cecy Robson is a New York Times, USA Today, Publisher's Weekly, and an international bestselling author. As a former registered nurse of twenty-three years, Cecy now spends her time creating magical worlds, heart-stopping romance, and young adult adventure. You can usually find Cecy laughing, crying, and cheering on her characters as she pens her next story.

Maxym M. Martineau is an associate creative director by day, and a fantasy author by night. When she’s not getting heated over broken hearts, she enjoys playing video games, binge-watching television shows, competing in just about any sport, and of course, reading.

Jade Presley is a pen name created to write romantasy stories that pair rich world building with characters that will make you blush and leave you thirsting for more. When not writing, I’m going on epic quests during game night or hanging with my family and Irish Wolfhound in my mountain home.

Shalini Abeysekara (she/her/hers) is a Canadian lawyer-turned-author. Her dark romantasies explore monstrosity—perceived and real—and center neurodivergent people of colour reckoning with themselves and their place in the world.
