She particularly enjoys gardening medicinal plants, and she loves being surrounded by critters. She raises a variety of animals, including goats, pigs, rabbits, chickens, and other birds. She has a background in education, and loves sharing her knowledge with people, especially kids and newcomers! She is passionate about empowering people who feel overwhelmed or unqualified, believing that anyone can get started with some encouragement and practical knowledge. She also has a background in the arts and design, and she really feels like designing a garden or working on the homestead can be like crafting a work of art, and creating a place of profound joy and beauty.

It is 1980 and Jojo Evans is living the dream. Perfect job, perfect man, perfect life – but is it all an illusion?
Jojo doesn’t think so – she cannot believe her good fortune, working as magician’s assistant to her charismatic boyfriend, The Incredible Nico, and sharing his luxurious flat is a far cry from her life in a squat working as a street performer.
Best friend, Annie Daley, isn’t so sure. Jojo seems bewitched by this new boyfriend, and Annie doesn’t trust him.
When Jojo receives an anonymous note warning her to keep away from Nico, the friends suspect it’s from a jealous fan. But the threats that follow cannot be so easily dismissed, and Jojo fears for her life. Annie volunteers to investigate, and enters the world of the Golden Globe Theatre, where nothing is as it seems.
As tensions mount to a career-making show finale, things spiral out of control. Will Jojo and Annie see through the smoke and mirrors in time to save their lives, or is this to be their last act?

Being a superhero is hard enough…Don’t fall for your arch nemesis. College junior Aubree Klein stays busy with a full course load, work, and protecting River City from villains as flame-wielding superhero Blue Nova.

Using his malicious inventions to inflict destruction on the city, Dr. Vile knows just how to get under Aubree’s skin. But when a new and even more powerful villain threatens the city, there’s only one person she can turn to for help. As the temporary allies get closer, they find that identities aren’t the only secrets being kept, and their mutual hatred may have been masking something else all along. With the fate of the city hanging in the balance, will the tense partnership last? And will Aubree find a way to combat her conflicting feelings for the one person she swore to despise?
Meet Kim Elliott
Kim Elliott lives in British Columbia with her husband, two busy kids, and a sleepy dog named Marley. When she isn’t writing stories, she enjoys watching singing competition shows, eating donuts, and going jean shopping. (That last one was a blatant lie.) Falling for the Villain is her first published novel and can be read as a stand alone or as part of a trilogy.
This is the original novel-length followup to the short story “The Masques of Noble Mansion.” In Regency England, the beautiful young widow Lady Lucinda Noble wishes to find an answer to the suffering of neglected wives and unattached respectable women. She asks herself and her female friends: “If men can have their houses of pleasure, why can’t we?” In a daring enterprise, she invites seven of the finest and most skilled men from near and far to Noble Mansion. They are special guests at the hidden parties she holds for her women friends, who find at last the attention they long for. Lucinda finds herself falling deeply in love with one of the seven, the magnificent Sable, who is especially marked for revenge by the townsmen… and then, one night, when they learn of yet another party, the enraged townsmen return to Noble Mansion. Please Note: This is a steamy, romantic story and contains detailed depictions of sexual activity between consenting adults over the age of 21. There is no mistreatment between the partners. No part of this work was generated using artificial intelligence (AI) software of any kind.
Meet Juliet Robbe
Juliet Robbe loves writing sensual, romantic stories, so venturing into the world of erotica was a natural for her. “The Masques of Noble Mansion” is a short story that serves as an introduction to the original full-length novel LADY NOBLE AND THE MASQUES: A HISTORY OF NOBLE MANSION, now available as an e-book and in paperback. Juliet has been married to her high school sweetheart for many years. When not writing, she enjoys spending time with her husband and family.

Meet Laura Pruett
Laura Pruett began her writing career at the ripe age of approximately three years old by signing her name in her books. She soon advanced to writing random words on doors and, eventually, kindergarten stories about a Santa Claus she had never been taught existed (this time, on normal notebook paper). By the time she finally entered college classes, she would answer the introductory “If you could do any career that you wanted, what would it be?” question with, “I would like to edit dictionaries.” That said, although she minored in English, she majored in psychology, a degree which she obtained in 2003. Years later, in 2011, she began working as a freelance writer and editor on a site once called Elance (now Upwork). Because she preferred editing to writing, she soon eliminated the writing portion from her offered services and focused on editing–including GoFundMe pages, personal memoirs, fiction stories, self-help books, scientific reports, financial reports, and so much more. After years of editing others’ works and encouraging her husband, Michael C. Sahd, to publish his, Laura decided to finally contribute some of her own to the reading world. As of 2023, she has published two children’s picture books, The Dwarves Of Dimmerdown and My First Book Of Strangers: The People I Don’t Know. Currently, in addition to writing A World Apart, Gedra Gets a Man, and To Catch A Fish, she is working on another super-secret Kindle Vella novel, under a pen name. If you’re interested, here’s a one-word hint: Dwarves. Look around and see what you can find!
After a long journey, the broken people arrive at their new home. It is the place they wished for, with shelter, food, and all else the weary travelers need. Overwhelmed and ill, Edan reaches the promised sanctuary where he can be more, for himself and Vita. Although he is cautious, Edan hopes wellness and adventures are in his future. Illur is filled with beauty and people who are important. Each person’s duties to the community ensures that every herad is successful. Edan is truly part of this perfect place and surrounded by the newness of things he has never seen. The once silent boy now has everything he could want. Finally recovering, Edan begins to settle into his new life, until he is forced to see what is beyond the requirement of obedience to the elders. The more Edan understands about Illur and his own past, the more unsure he is. It not only affects him, but those he has come to trust and love. Edan has to make the decision to keep everyone safe by obeying or question everything about his new home to find the truth. If you were given everything, would you obey without question?
Meet Cajah Reed
Author of the Divine Land Of Illur, Cajah Reed, fell into writing after the opening line of her first book would not stop cycling through her mind. Continuing to follow the stories in the YA dystopian series felt like an adventure of its own and a way of stepping out of the unpredictability of real life. Her inspiration for the series stems from music, geography, and the humanity of everyone, especially an individual’s need to belong. As an avid reader of all things science fiction and fantasy, Cajah is especially drawn to books with dark oppressive dystopian societies, supernatural characters, or epic worlds unlike our own. It was no surprise that Cajah’s debut series came from one of her favorite genres.
Nick Smith was five years old when he saw a man brutally murder his mother. He spent thirteen years in foster care, waiting for a father who had seemingly vanished overseas while on deployment with the United States Army. After serving his country himself, Nick became a private investigator to give him the resources he needed to solve the death of his mother. After years of building his reputation as an investigator in Leesburg, Virginia and struggling as a single father, Nick takes on a last minute client who will change his world forever. SSA Mason Johns has spent nearly twenty years searching for a serial killer who goes after the wives of deployed soldiers. When he gets a call about the killer’s newest victim after a decade of silence, Mason and his team leave for Leesburg, Virginia to confirm the killer’s return, only to come into contact with the town’s local private investigator. Mason begrudgingly agrees to work with the arrogant Nick Smith to find the man who has ruined countless lives. In doing so, it reopens a past Mason thought he’d left behind.
Meet Meagan Diehl
Meagan Diehl was born in Hampton Roads, Virginia. She has a degree in English and spends her time reading, writing, and watching crime TV shows and just about anything Disney. Meagan also has a love of history, especially Virginia history and Greek mythology, and Marvel Comics. She continues to reside in Hampton Roads with her husband, two daughters, and their two dogs, a husky and a bully/boxer mix.
An action-comedy VRMMO LitRPG with a setting inspired by Wuxia and Xianxia stories and a hero that might have a few screws loose.
Meet William Dickey
Growing up, William was the weird quiet kid in the corner who spent more time interacting with imaginary characters than actual people. Not much has changed. When he’s not inside a book, William enjoys videogames and the occasional jigsaw puzzle. As you can probably tell, he hates writing about himself, he’s far too boring of a character, so he apologizes to anyone reading this garbage paragraph.
At the edge of the wilderness, far away from the big city, nothing bad could ever happen in such a protected place…or could it?

Meet Millie Copper
Millie Copper, writer of Cozy Apocalyptic Fiction and preparedness mentor, was born in Nebraska but never lived there. Her parents fully embraced wanderlust and moved regularly, giving her an advantage of being from nowhere and everywhere.
Millie Copper lives in the wilds of Wyoming with her husband and young son, tending chickens and attempting a food forest on their small homestead. After living off the grid for several years, they’ve recently gone back on the grid. Four adult daughters, three sons-in-law, and five grandchildren round out the family.
Since 2009, Millie has authored articles on traditional foods, alternative health, homesteading, and preparedness-many times all within the same piece. Millie has penned seven nonfiction, traditional food focused books, sharing how, with a little creativity, anyone can transition to a real foods diet without overwhelming their food budget.
The twelve-installment Havoc in Wyoming and six-installment Montana Mayhem Christian Post-Apocalyptic fiction series use her homesteading, off-the-grid, and preparedness lifestyle as a guide. The adventures continue with the upcoming Dakota Destruction series.
