Cherie Reich has more books than she can ever read and more ideas than she can ever write, but that doesn’t stop this bookworm from trying, even if it means curbing her TV obsession. She is a speculative fiction writer and library assistant living in Virginia.

Crystal Collier is a happy wife and ninja mom to five whose dreams came true the day her debut novel, Moonless, won its first contest and then a publishing contract. She pens clean reads in fantasy/sci-fi, historical, and romance varieties, with the occasional touch of humor, horror, or inspiration. Even as an avid blogger who hosts book giveaways, she home schools her children and periodically performs vocally or composes new musical arrangements. She has lived from coast to coast and now calls Florida home with her AMAZING family, and “friend” (a.k.a. the zombie locked in her closet). Secretly, she dreams of world domination and a bottomless supply of cheese.

Renée's life unfolds against the untamed beauty of the Alaskan wilderness, a true explorer navigating extremes from the midnight sun to the Brooks Range. Venturing from the corporate world to writing, she transforms Alaska into a character in her mystery trilogy, weaving wonders, mysteries, and breathtaking landscapes into each page. Beyond literature, Renée's intriguing life includes a love for garage sale finds, traveling the entire US, hiking, and a career journey from accountant to instructor. With a strong bond to numbers and a dislike for phones, Renée's novels celebrate joy and storytelling, inviting readers on thrilling adventures through her imaginative mysteries.
