Ila Golden
Ila Golden writes at the intersection of the everyday and the extraordinary. Specializing in character-driven magical realism and slice-of-life fiction, Ila’s work—including The Neva Aton Collection and the What Makes Me series—dives deep into the complexities of identity, trauma, and mental health. As a nonbinary, asexual-spectrum author, Ila is committed to authentic diversity. They craft stories where the plot is a byproduct of human (and sometimes monstrous) choices. Whether exploring the horror-tinged world of The Doll Maker’s Son or the contemporary fantasy of Echoe, their writing balances the weight of real-world struggles with the spark of the supernatural. Based in a home defined by puzzles and play, Ila shares their life with their partner and two miniature lops, Tempest and Chilchuck. When not writing, they are immersed in escape rooms, walking adventure books, and video games—constantly searching for the next story hidden in the mechanics of life.

Ivy Vale
Ivy Vale is the author of Unbroken, her debut novel, published in July 2026. She has always loved getting lost in a good story and, after years of reading them, finally decided to write one of her own. When she isn't writing, Ivy can usually be found reading, discovering new indie authors, or happily disappearing into the world of books. She has also enjoyed being an ARC reader for several books this year, giving her the chance to experience and support stories before they reach their readers. Ivy is currently working on her second novel. Outside of books, life is wonderfully busy as a mom to two children, two cats, and one very enthusiastic Golden Retriever - who may or may not have inspired a character in Unbroken.

Iza Figueredo
I'm Iza Figueredo, and I began my journey as an author in 2024. But in many ways, I've been telling stories for much longer. Since I was a child, I've created romances and adventures in my imagination, often telling myself a new story each night before falling asleep. One day, I decided those stories deserved to be written down and shared with others. Today, I write emotional romances filled with mystery, suspense, and unexpected twists. My greatest joy is taking readers on unforgettable journeys and creating stories that stay with them long after the last page.

J. Solary writes short fiction about ordinary lives that aren’t quite what they seem — relationships, familiar moments, and the small shifts that can change what we think we know. The stories move between contemporary relationship fiction and psychological suspense.
J. W. Sands
Like the professor at the center of this novel, J. W. Sands has spent his life in lecture halls - teaching across a multitude of countries and continents, and traveling the world with the inconvenient habit of noticing its patterns. He lives in Portugal now, within driving distance of the real place where Transcending Trinity ends. Portugal's greatest writer, Fernando Pessoa, wrote under heteronyms: not pen names but whole personalities, each with a voice and a life of its own. J. W. Sands belongs to that tradition - taciturn, philosophical, fondest of questions that refuse to be settled. He shares that temperament with Peter Alba Longa, who can find a pattern in a dropped fork and counts the streetlights on the walk home. Question everything. Count everything.
