(Returning) Miranda McTier
Canadian Paranormal Writer
Hello. I'm Miranda McTier. I'm a mom of three and had been writing as a hobby for most of my young life. I stopped for a while to have a family, but I started again 2021. Since then, I've been having a great time creating a world in my head and putting it into words. My world centers around wolf shifters, but is constantly expanding with every book I write. I do have a job outside as a steel press operator, and having fun with my family is a favorite pass time. I do love creativity and sharing it with everyone. I'm so happy to meet people and see what their creative minds think up. So, nice to meet all of you, and I can't wait to see what you have.

(Returning) Evvie Grey
Queer Teen Poet and Writer
Hello readers, my name is Evvie Grey and I am a queer teen author. I self published my first book Iyenae when I was fifteen years old. I have always been an avid reader and storyteller, so when I had the opportunity to write and publish a book for a school project, I took it. My second book is a Mental Health anthology called If Words Could Kill that I published early 2024 at the age of sixteen. I personally have had a rough journey with mental health since I was twelve and the anthology is full of personal stories and poems I wrote to help cope. I turned those stories and poems into a book to reach those like me, those who struggled in silence and forced a fake smile constantly. I am also an academic, as a reader I have always had a thirst for knowledge and pursued that the best I can. All through my middle and high school career, I took honors and college level classes. When I am not an academic, storyteller, or poet, I am a seamstress or potter. I have been sewing since I was a little kid and into pottery since my freshman year. I guess one could call me a jack of all trades.

(Returning) Lena
Fantasy Romance Writer
Hello, I’m Lena. I am a fairly new author from Serbia. My love for storytelling began when I was a child, and I attribute that love to my father, who used to tell me fairy tales and recount books as bedtime stories, such as Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. So I grew up loving fantasy, and even wrote three stories when I was eight years old, because I wanted more of the stories I enjoyed, and if there weren’t any similar ones, I wanted to create them. And as a romantic at heart, love stories were always a must in the books I read. The story I’m currently working on, called Wolf’s Lullaby, is a romantic comedy with fantasy elements. Shifters were always one of my favorite mythical beings, so I wanted to create a unique story in a well-established genre. Hopefully, I managed just that.
