An Interview with Amy Minett

Amy Minett loves her dog, her cat, and her sister, not necessarily in that order. A Maine native, she’s equally at home in the forest or on the beach, so long as she has a book in hand. Growing up, she always had a secret soft spot for lighthearted romance, and she still loves watching over-the-top romantic comedies with her sister.

Hi, my name is Marie Angel, and I love to write romantic suspense and romantasy. My passions include romance and the mystical. I live in Collegeville, PA, with my three cats, and I am an avid reader and fan of Nora Roberts and JR Ward, among many others.

My name is Stephanie Fidis. By day, I work as an inside sales rep for Dover Publications, but by night I’m a writer, a cozy girl-gamer, an amateur cook, a runner, and a cat mom. I have my bachelor's in creative writing as well as an MFA in writing from Albertus Magnus College. I reside on Long Island with my fiancé and our cat, Cooper.

Crystina Luna is an author from California. When she’s not writing, she can be found reading, enjoying motorsports, or on a long run with her Jack Russell, Larry.

E.M. Duffield-Fuller is a dark fantasy author who has previously written Obsidian and the Darkwatch Trilogy, as well as short stories for several anthologies and journals. Her next novel, Killing Hares, is coming out January 22 with Honno.

An Interview with Jenn Crowe

Jenn Crowe is a thriller author who loves crafting fast-paced, suspenseful stories with shocking plot twists. She enjoys writing in the domestic and psychological subgenres. When she's not writing, brainstorming, or reading about fictional worlds, Jenn works as a marketing and communications manager. She lives in Alberta, Canada, with her husband, two children, two dogs, and a temperamental orange cat.

Mary Keating is a poet, disability rights advocate, attorney, and Yale Law School graduate. She became a paraplegic in 1973 after a car accident at age fifteen and has spent over fifty years challenging assumptions about disability. She runs her own law firm and is the poetry editor for ScribesMICRO. A three-time Pushcart Prize nominee, her work has appeared in Rattle, Wordgathering, and SFWP. Her memoir in verse, Recalibrating Gravity, is funny, fierce, and authentic as it explores life as a disabled person. It is praised for its clarity and emotional honesty.

I came to writing fiction while working as a technical communicator in the IT world, but I had written many articles about high tech and politics for some time, publishing them online. Most of my career before that was in academia, where I specialized in visualizing and managing geospatial data (think GIS and digital cartography). My first novel, Turkey Shoot (2018), was prompted by the ongoing refugee crisis in the Middle East and Europe. It was an international conspiracy thriller, and set the stage for my next novel, Her Own Devices (2018). Turkey Shoot hadn’t ended well for my protagonists, and out of guilt, I decided to rehabilitate them.
