Kennedy Sutton
Kennedy Sutton’s editor informed her that, with twelve published books, she can no longer call herself an emerging author. This seemed like a terrible falsehood considering how much Kennedy still wants to learn. Mostly preferring to have her adventures from her keyboard, Kennedy can often be found in her backyard where she watches her children play and becomes deeply invested in the lives of the birds, rabbits, and honeybees of Tennessee. She has a head full of stories across many genres, but when she wants to write something she knows, she puts her characters on tall ships and sends them out to sea. Emerging or established, she remains thrilled to share her stories with the world.

S. Renea
Shannon Renea was born and raised in the tiny, one red light town of New Market, TN with her family and her fur-baby, Memphis. When she's not writing, you can find her taking countless photos of her son, as a dog obsessed twenty-something year old does and trying to provide a good life for him with a countless pile of toys and treats. Shannon grew up writing and has always had a passion for story-telling, which led to her getting a visual effects degree from East Tennessee State University, to bring her stories to life. After years of writing, Shannon is now pursuing her life long dream of being a published author, and she couldn't be happier to share her stories with her readers.

Amber Lewis
Amber D. Lewis is a highly combustible combination of caffeine, mismatched coffee mugs, and shiny things. In her spare time (and, quite frankly, when she’s supposed to be doing other things) she writes fantasy and other stories.
The Fire and Starlight Saga is a found family fantasy following the only twins born in their kingdom & the chaos & magic they unleash when they turn 18. The plot focuses on amazing fantasy elements like magic, political intrigue, battles, and adventure with low-spice romance subplots and favorite tropes that readers of all sorts enjoy.
