ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Sarah Hogle is a mom of three who enjoys trashy TV and provoking her husband for attention. Her dream is to live in a falling-apart castle in a forest that is probably cursed. She is also the author of You Deserve Each Other, Twice Shy, Just Like Magic, Old Flames and New Fortunes, and the forthcoming novel, The Folklore of Forever.

Hannah Whitten has been writing to amuse herself since she could hold a pen, and sometime in high school, figured out that what amused her might also amuse others. When she’s not writing, she’s reading, making music, or attempting to bake. She lives in an old farmhouse in Tennessee with her husband, children, pets, and probably some ghosts.

Lish McBride is a writer and former bookseller living in the PNW. With an MFA from the University of New Orleans, she spends her time writing, reading, and discussing literature with family and friends. Lish dreams of having a castle with a library and shares her life online as @lishmcbride, often posting pictures of her dogs.

Lana Harper is the New York Times bestselling author of Payback’s A Witch and From Bad to Cursed. She studied psychology and literature at Yale and law at Boston University. Originally from Serbia, she now lives in Chicago, where she writes both adult and YA novels.

Casey Blair is a bestselling author of hopeful fantasy novels featuring ambitious women, including the Tea Princess Chronicles and the Diamond Universe series. Her adventures range from teaching English in rural Japan to rappelling waterfalls in Costa Rica. Now living in the Pacific Northwest, she enjoys spontaneous dancing, exploring forests, and spending time with her cat.

Amanda Bouchet grew up in New England, where her love for adventure and Greek heritage inspired her debut series, The Kingmaker Chronicles. She writes epic exploits and steamy romance with characters that make you laugh and cry.

Olivia Waite, our panel moderator, writes queer historical romance, fantasy, science fiction, and essays. She is the romance fiction columnist for the New York Times Book Review.
