About the Authors

Kass O'Shire

Hi there, Hello. I'm Kass (or Kassie), reluctant human. I live in America's own little Shire and love it a lot. I use she/her pronouns, and I'm demi and bi. My writing focuses on body, sex, and equality positive stories with high heat levels and cozy vibes. It consists of *mostly* monogamous romances, though I do have a few triads planned. My book tastes run to monster romance/paranormal romance, gas-lamp fantasy romance, historical romance, sci-fi romance (ok, all things romance,) epic fantasy and space opera. In my free time, I read a lot, bake my pants off, and play/DM DnD and other tabletop/board games. I am married, have one awesome 12-year old dude and have done two surrogacies. To pay the bills, I am a data analyst in the behavioral health space. I'm extremely passionate about access to mental and behavioral health care for all folks and I am usually that friend that nags you to take care of yourself.

Lyonne Riley
Lyonne Riley spends most of her time writing fantastical, monstrous, and super steamy books. She lives in a small town in the middle of nowhere with her spouse and two dogs.

Ami Wright
Ami Wright is a romance author who loves history, food, travel, trashy TV and smutty romance. She lives in Australia with her partner and children. When she’s not writing about monsters, cat-human hybrids, knotty polar bear aliens, sexy Romans, or ancient myths and legends, she is busy dreaming of traveling the world!
