Lisa Godfrees spent her life dreaming of being a writer, and God was faithful. Author of several short stories and flash fiction pieces, Lisa is currently working on a middle-grade fantasy. She resides in Houston with one dog, two cats, a fish, two girls, and a husband. Fall is her favorite time of year because of football (Gig ‘em, Aggies!), Halloween, cooler weather, and her birthday. If she’s not reading, writing, or pondering difficult questions, you can find her doing something else.

Hailing from Minnesota, Rachel Ann Michael Harris has wanted to be everything from FBI agent, actress, search and rescue dog handler, to teacher. But being a writer has been the only career that has stuck with her since childhood. She loved it so much that when she heard about a career where a degree in creative writing was acceptable, she was ready to jump. Double majoring in creative writing and communications, she graduated Magna Cum Laude and her first published work was a poem in her college’s literary magazine. Since then, she’s had numerous flash fiction stories published with Havok Publishing and is a contributor in several anthologies. She is currently working toward publishing her first full length novel. The Beauty of Magic is her first published novella.

When not writing, she is bingewatching a favorite TV show, reading a good book (hopefully), or doing one of these things when she should be writing.

If you want to keep up with her writing, reading, and dragons, follow her on Facebook, Instagram, GoodReads, LinkedIn, or her website at rachelannmichaelharris.wordpress.com.

Kat grew up in the small town of Riverview, Florida, where she spent most of her time either drawing or sitting in her "reading tree" with her nose buried in a fantasy novel...except for the hours pretending her back yard was an enchanted forest that could only be reached through the secret passage in her closet...

She never could give up on the idea that maybe she really was magic, mistakenly placed in a world not her own...but as the years passed, and no elves or fairies carted her away...she realized she was just going to have to create the life of her fantasies.

Now she shares that life with her husband and two kids. Ok, maybe "share" isn't the right word--more like lives that life in her writing and tries her best to be normal the rest of the time...

The boring stuff:

She graduated from the University of Tampa--Magna Cum Laude, B.S. in Biology (yep, a science geek, too).

She spent several years teaching, but never in a traditional classroom--everything from Art to Algebra II (yep, a math geek, too)--and now she homeschools her two kids.

Her writing spans the gamut from inspirational personal essays to dark and disturbing fantasy and horror.

Cassandra Hamm is a psychology nerd, art collector, jigsaw puzzler, art lover, and hopeless romantic who spends most of her time lost in another realm. She is a mental health advocate with a passion for social justice, and many of her stories focus on shattered girls finding their way in the world. Her two kittens, who are named after her favorite middle grade heroes, are the lights of her life. She suspects she may end up as a cat lady (or the owner of a Warrior Clan).
