Meet the indie authors

Ivo

Ivo Orven writes historical fiction about memory, responsibility, and the consequences of human choices. His debut novel, It Was Not the Same Silence, follows lives separated by centuries but connected by something none of them fully understands. He is drawn to stories where history leaves questions unanswered, and where silence can carry as much weight as words.

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

Across different settings and genres, J. Solary writes short fiction about ordinary lives that aren’t quite what they seem — familiar people, relationships and moments in which one small shift can change what we think we know.

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.

J.S. Morgan

J.S. Morgan grew up immersed in the fantasy and science fiction adventures of the 1980s and 1990s, when authors like Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman, Terry Brooks, and R.A. Salvatore filled bookshelves with unforgettable characters, sprawling worlds, and adventures that kept readers turning pages long past bedtime. Those stories helped shape his approach to writing: memorable characters first, rich worlds with histories of their own, and a healthy appreciation for humor amid danger. His debut fantasy novel, *Blade & Bloom*, launches The Kaelthorne Saga, an old-school fantasy adventure built around an unlikely partnership between a thief and a lawman who have very different ideas about how the world ought to work. Published through his independent imprint, aMusing Creations, Morgan is currently working on the next installment of the saga. He believes the best fantasy adventures aren't just about saving the world. They're about the people you meet, the friendships you forge, and the trouble you get into along the way.
