K.V. Ankers is a South Australian romance writer based in the Barossa Valley. K.V. is famous for her caffeine addiction, and love for everything dark romance, and infamous for being the queen of sass that says what everyone else is thinking. She lives for the gasps of reader when killing off a main character (but always check if there is a body), and their screams at those cliff hangers, but rest assured K.V. is still devoted to eventual happily ever afters. When K.V. isn't madly working away in her home library that is the envy of good book dragons everywhere, you can find her living her dream with a very large glass of a bold Barossa Shiraz in hand, listening to music, surrounded by her ever-growing family or off on travel adventures with her retired military husband.

I’m a writer and author with dyslexia, and I wear blue-tinted glasses that make reading and writing much more comfortable. I found my passion for storytelling later in life—and once I started, I never looked back. I live on the East Coast of Australia, lucky enough to be surrounded by some of the world’s most breathtaking beaches. I write why choose mafia romance with a dark edge, and occasionally dip into the paranormal when the mood strikes. Twisted love, fierce women, and morally grey men? Yes, please. My family—my children (both mine and my husband’s), grandchildren, and loved ones—are my greatest treasures. My youngest finally moved out (hallelujah!), and honestly, I thought I’d be half-dead by the time it happened. Family is everything to me, and I’m deeply grateful for the close bond we share. Our German Shepherd, Honey, drowns us in affection and has absolutely no idea she’s a dog. We also share our home with three cats: Barbra, who inspired Grace’s familiar in my first book; Mr Whiskers, the charming troublemaker; and Penny, who decided we were hers and never left.

Lilliana Rose weaves tales of shifters, witches, and the monsters that lurk in the shadows of the unknown. Love ignites amidst the untamed wilderness, where ancient lore and cryptic prophecies whisper secrets of the past. When she's not conjuring thrilling plots, a quiet evening finds her curled up with a cup of tea (or a glass of red wine) and a book featuring a wolf or dragon on the cover. Lilliana brings a unique blend of logic and imagination to her writing, creating stories that will haunt your dreams and keep you spellbound until the very last page.

When she’s not writing, Lisa works full time as a Software Tester. She reads anything she can sink her teeth into, and loves binging on TV shows, especially the British ones.

Lorelei Johnson is an Australian romance author, primarily writing Paranormal and Fantasy Romance. She graduated from Flinders University, where she studied English Literature and Creative Writing before she discovered her degree was useless and she hated studying in an institution and having some one else dictate what she should be writing. She went into administrative work where she learnt just enough business sense to start publishing her own books. Lorelei is fuelled by caffeine and sarcasm, priding herself as a true 90's kid. She labels her self-publishing as anti-establishment, but really she's just a chicken who decided to avoid the gatekeepers all together and enjoy the freedom to write whatever the heck she likes. Through her writing, she likes to explore the many facets of love, and revel in a little magic and a little smut, of course.
