About Tory Steel:
Tory Steel is a storyteller, a survivor, and a dreamer. A U.S. Air
Force veteran with a Master’s in Fine Arts, she began writing as a way
to process her own trauma and transformed that passion into a platform
for healing. Tory crafts emotionally driven stories about characters
who find light in even the darkest moments. Her work celebrates
strength, vulnerability, and the kind of love that changes everything.
With four published novels and a growing fan base, her work resonates
with readers who crave emotionally honest narratives with resilient,
complex leads. If you've ever fought for your voice or dared to dream
bigger than your circumstances, her books are for you. Tory writes for
the misfits, the dreamers, and anyone who’s ever turned pain into
purpose. Through every page, she proves that healing, hope, and
happily-ever-afters are never out of reach.
About Melissa George:
Melissa George is a proud member of the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers
and resides in the peaceful mountain town of Estes Park. She has an
MPH and enjoys exploring aspects of disaster management, which she
incorporates into her dystopian writing.
When Melissa isn’t writing, she loves to spend her time running,
coaching, acting, and kickboxing. She's a proud graduate of the
University of Missouri Track and Field program, where she currently
holds the school record for the 3,000m steeplechase. Following
collegiate athletics, she pursued running on the professional level
with the Roots Running Project for two years. Outside of sports, she
loves to spend time with her husband and their three tortoiseshell
cats: Katniss, Primrose, and Navi.
About Cassondra Windwalker:
Cassondra Windwalker earned a BA of Letters from the University of
Oklahoma. Born and raised on the red clay, she’s wandered the sticky
corn fields of the Midwest, the frozen seas of the Wild North, and
frequently rests her wings where orange skies meet purple mountains.
She’s the author of nine novels and three collections of poetry and
does her best to keep fed a menagerie of stray critters, cryptids,
marooned kelpies, and lost specters.
