Lawanda Glenn didn’t set out to become an author… she started writing because she didn’t know how to carry what she was going through, and it became the only place her pain, confusion, and unspoken thoughts could go. Her books aren’t polished… they’re real. The first three memoirs were written in her darkest moments… never meant to be published, but to survive. At one point, they were her goodbye letters, which is why they’re raw, unfiltered, and honest. Readers don’t step into a rewritten story… they step into her life as it was happening… the trauma, the abuse, the regret, the survival… all of it. But her story doesn’t end there. Her final book, Healed by His Hands, shows what happened when she fully surrendered to God… not a small shift, but a complete transformation. She was delivered from alcoholism, self-harm, and a survival mindset, and she gives God all the glory. This four-book series is meant to be read in order… not just to see the outcome, but the process, because somewhere in those pages, readers won’t just see her… they’ll start to see themselves. Lawanda writes for those who feel tired, overlooked, or stuck… because she was there. Start from the beginning… and see what changes in you.

I’m a mom, veteran, artist, folklorist, musician, and writer of folklore-inspired adult romantasy and YA portal fantasy (and the occasional academic article). After graduating from West Point and serving in the Army for ten years as a Military Police officer, I earned a PhD in Slavic Languages and Literatures from the University of Virginia. My doctoral dissertation explored narratives of historical warrior women among the Scythians, Slavs, and other Eurasian steppe nomads, who in turn have inspired my fiction writing. I have contributed several articles to academic publications in addition to my current and upcoming novels. When I’m not writing, I can be found racing triathlons, chasing after my son, or providing lead guitar and vocals for the underground metal band Olga's Burning Sparrows.

Rachael has loved writing and reading ever since she was a little girl. She started writing short stories in the second grade, then, in high school, she took her first creative writing class.

Hi, my name is Sydnee, and I'm a fantasy author going by the pen name S. H. Blodgett. My first book was written in 2020; since then, I've enjoyed every moment of my writing career. When I'm not lost in my writing world, you can find me hanging out with my amazing husband and our super lively five-year-old German Shepherd. They are my world! My husband currently serves in the Army, making me a military spouse of seven years. What a wild time it has been! We've moved on average once yearly since we married in 2019. I read far too many books, love diving into video games, and enjoy a good hike. Especially in some stunning places! I've recently moved to Washington state, and let me tell you, it's gorgeous out here. So, that's me living life, enjoying the journey, and hoping my stories find a little corner in your world too!

After years of supporting her husband’s military medical career, raising a family through constant change, and putting herself last, a powerful moment changed everything. At her husband’s retirement ceremony, he handed her the American flag and quietly said, “It’s your turn.” That moment became the beginning of Shari reclaiming her own health, identity, and purpose.

Her work blends personal storytelling, practical wellness tools, and heartfelt encouragement for women who have spent years caring for everyone else.

Spooky, Spicy, Suspenseful… Always romantic. TL Schaefer blends romance, suspense, and a touch of the uncanny into every story she writes. Her years of military service as a government civilian--and her life as a military spouse--infuse her books with lived-in authenticity, from tight-knit teams to the emotional intensity of loving someone who serves.

Her heroines bring heart, humor, and just the right amount of quirk, creating sparks that fly as high as the stakes. When she’s not writing, you can find her at her Facebook group Musings From the Blonde Side, talking books, cats, creativity, and her real-life romance hero.
