Rose Dabbraccio
Rose Dabbraccio is an independent author and creator of Red Phoenix Rising, writing about the beautifully messy reality of being human—healing, growth, self-awareness, accountability, faith, relationships, loss, and the patterns that shape who we become. Her debut book, Rebuilding From Within, combines raw personal storytelling with reflection, humor, and hard-earned perspective. Rather than offering a formula for healing or telling readers how to live, Rose invites them to become curious about their own stories, question what they believe, recognize the patterns they carry, and decide for themselves what they want to build next. Her work is rooted in a simple belief: our past can explain pieces of who we are without being allowed to define all of who we become. Through her writing and Red Phoenix Rising, Rose hopes to remind readers that growth isn't about becoming perfect. It's about becoming aware, getting honest, taking accountability for what belongs to us, releasing what doesn't, and continuing to rise. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

Rowan Ravenheart
I came to publishing after years of writing the kinds of stories I wanted to read—immersive fantasy rooted in mythology, old gods, complicated devotion, and worlds where romance matters as much as the fate of kingdoms. HOARFROST became the book that convinced me to stop waiting for permission to tell those stories exactly as I envisioned them. I chose independent publishing because I wanted to preserve the scale and structure of The Raven & The Lake: a six-book mythic fantasy-romance saga with a large ensemble cast, interconnected love stories, and an Arthurian myth cycle unfolding across the entire series. Building Rowan Ravenheart as a brand has meant learning nearly every part of publishing along the way, from editing and production to cover design, distribution, reader outreach, and marketing. The most rewarding part has been watching readers find these characters and care about them beyond the pages—talking about Jesryn and Owyn, choosing favorite characters, debating the gods, and asking when they can read the next book. HOARFROST is my debut, but it is only the beginning of the story.

Salem Hurley
I’m a late-in-life author, but I’ve been writing for more than 40 years before finally deciding to self-publish. I’m a mood writer, so I bounce between dark romance, mysteries, and thrillers. At their core, though, they’re all romantic suspense. The genre changes. The spice level changes, but strong FMCs, consent, and HEAs do not.
