The authors
Meet the indie authors
The independent writers behind the books: their stories, in their words.
Divyanshi Rajput
I’m Divyanshi Rajput. I write fiction, poems, and open letters, which means I spend quite a lot of time deciding what someone should say, then wondering whether they would have the courage to say it. My books include *Hearts That Met Too Soon* and *Om-Neer*. Naming a book is a strange experience. You put a title on something that has occupied your head for months, put your own name beneath it, and hope a stranger will open it. There’s something very hopeful about that arrangement. I like being on both sides of it. I’m interested in people whose feelings don’t quite agree with their decisions. The ones who mean well and still get things wrong, who can explain everyone except themselves. When I write about love, memory, or loss, I usually end up asking who remembers what happened differently, and why. It makes writing a simple conversation unnecessarily difficult. It also makes me want to keep going. My reading moves between classics, contemporary fiction, and Hindi novels. Kafka and Dostoevsky are writers I return to, although I wouldn’t want either of them in charge of cheering me up. I enjoy books that let me disagree with them and characters I’m still trying to understand after the story is over. This is where I share my books and the thoughts that haven’t found their way into one yet. You’re welcome to read, disagree, or tell me I’ve been unfair to a character. I may have a defence ready. I may also realise you’re right.

Dr. A.L. Greenwood
Dr. A.L. Greenwood is the author of The Tansy Pendrell Mysteries, a charming botanical cozy mystery series perfect for readers who love clever amateur sleuths, clean whodunits, and captivating puzzles.

Through titles like The Plant That Knew Too Much and The Orchid That Held a Grudge, Greenwood weaves encyclopedic botanical knowledge—from soil science to rare flora—into intricate murder mysteries. While the series takes root in the greenhouse, Greenwood's storytelling doesn't stop there. Future installments will follow Tansy as she travels, bringing her unique investigative skills to unravel mysteries across a variety of different professions and settings. When not plotting the next tangled web of rivalries, broken alibis, and suspense, Dr. Greenwood is hard at work on the next mystery.

Elle Rose
I'm the author of The Adventures of Mabel Green series! I love Harry Potter and want to create new adventures for similar audiences. I've been writing since I was in first grade and inspired my fellow classmates to write their own stories! I enjoy a good thriller or horror novel. Pride and Prejudice is also one of my favorites. I love that all you need to write is your own imagination :) In addition to reading and writing, I also enjoy running, hiking, baking, exploring, and playing with my kiddos.

Emily Hartmann
I have always had a deep passion for working with children, which naturally led me to pursue a career as a preschool teacher. Crafting stories and activities for my students was always one of my favorite parts of the job, and before long, I realized I wanted to share those ideas with a wider audience. That realization inspired me to become a children's book writer and illustrator, drawing my greatest inspiration from my own two adorable kids. Through my books, my goal is to spark curiosity, imagination, and a love of learning in young readers. I also want to empower parents, giving them the tools and inspiration they need to actively support their children's development and creativity every day.
Emma Kahm
I always found a home in writing. My journey began traditionally—with pen, paper, and stacks of notebooks—before migrating to now-forgotten blogs and, eventually, to the messy but magical world of Word documents. As an introvert, I often find my imaginary worlds far more active than my calm, monotonous daily life. In my works, I love to transform my characters' ordinary lives through fateful, supernatural events. I enjoy writing in the 3rd person POV, mostly focusing on one character to make them shine introspectively.

Emmy Stein
Well, hello there. I'm Emmy. I am a Cuban American indie author, and SEEKING IN THE DARKNESS is my debut novel. By day, I work in technology as a user experience and accessibility professional, where I spend my time understanding people’s experiences, solving complex problems, and creating products that are intuitive and inclusive. Those same passions for empathy, curiosity, and human resilience shape my fiction. It’s also notable that I don’t hate corporate life as much as my character, Sandy, does but I have definitely heard the corporate horror stories after many years in the field. I live in the southern United States with my husband, and our two children, and enough ideas for far more books than there are hours in the day. Seeking in the Darkness is my first novel, but it certainly won’t be my last. Stay tuned for more as I continue my indie journey.

Hi folks! I'm Erica, a forty-something-year-old human pretending to adult. I live in beautiful, magnificent, glorious, and often rainy Scotland; ain't nowhere else I'd rather be (except maybe at the barrier of a gig for one of my faves! But even then, everyone knows Scottish gigs are the BEST! No Scotland No Party!!!) Some themes you will find in my writing: Cosy, safe, warm hug vibes ☕ Found family (the ultimate trope!) Finding and valuing your self-worth Neurodivergence and queer positivity Forests, castles, toadstools, and cute, charismatic creature friends 🍄 Stuff I like to do when I'm not writing: Snuggle, read, crochet, draw, and doom-scroll (that last one is less of a "like" and more of a requirement for the dopaminez!).
