Leia Harrison
Leia Harrison is a Canadian author who writes contemporary Western romantic suspense/thriller stories that feature cowboys, rodeos, and road trips spanning across North America. She fell in love with books from a young age, always trying to hide behind the pages of incredible stories that got her blood pumping (yes, think Goosebumps, Stephen King and Are You Afraid Of The Dark). As she got older, she started reading romantic suspense thrillers, loving the excitement that kept the pages turning. Leia started writing when she was struggling to find books that really pulled her in, with one of the main characters developing so quickly, she just couldn't help but tell her story. And itâs been never ending since then. Leia was diagnosed with Autism in 2022, and lives with Mayer-Rokitansky-KĂŒster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome. She lives in Canada with her husband, Dan, and her German Shepherd, Hemi. And when she's not writing, she's either riding horses, attending rodeos, practicing her roping or working on yet another project car with her husband.

Lilith Alba Carmin
Lilith A. Carmin (born 1993) lives and writes in Central Germany, usually accompanied by her three large dogs. In her day job, she works as an editor for a high-reach tech magazine, where she analyzes complex digital topics and hard facts for an audience of millions. To clearly separate this strictly fact-based world from her emotionally raw and fictional writing, she publishes under a pseudonym. Following her non-fiction debut, Die egoistische Muse, which laid the craft-based foundation for her work, she now dedicates herself entirely to her true literary passion: exploring the dark corners of the human psyche. With 10 Reasons Why Ethan Parker Vanished, she dives deep into the shadowed worlds of thriller and Dark Academia. While algorithms and benchmarks dictate her workday, her nights are governed by the melancholy, the unspoken, and the sinister facets of the human mind. When Lilith isn't busy spinning new plots, she spends her time constantly redefining the boundaries between light and shadow in her stories.
