• Alexis Patton is the New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author of the Us Dark Few series. Alexis has brought a refreshing perspective to the literary landscape as she pushes the boundaries of conventional storytelling. Her writing embraces the human experience, exploring themes of love, loss, self-discovery, and the triumph of the human spirit. Raised in DeLand, Florida, Alexis is a Florida girl at heart. From a young age, she developed an avid love for reading and was one of those kids who got in trouble for reading too much during class. With a voracious appetite for learning, she earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology from Stetson University and a Master’s Degree in Public Health from the University of Florida. Through her life experiences and undeniable passion for literature, Alexis Patton honed her skills to craft stories that resonate long after the final page is turned.
• Emma Scott is a USA Today and Wall St. Journal bestselling author whose books have been translated in eight languages and featured in Buzzfeed, Huffington Post, New York Daily News and USA Today’s Happy Ever After. Her works often explore themes of love, loss, and redemption, blending intense emotion with hope and resilience. If you enjoy emotionally charged stories that rip your heart out and put it back together again, with diverse characters and kind-hearted heroes, you will enjoy her novels.

• Juliana Smith grew up in an Alabama small town and still calls it home—along with her husband, daughter, two dogs, and an ever-growing collection of unfinished stories to come. She writes sweet, feel-good romance full of charm, laughter, and just the right amount of yearning. When she’s not falling in love with her fictional characters, she’s probably in the Chick-fil-A drive-thru or deep-diving into Star Wars theory podcasts. Juliana believes in happily ever afters, second chances, and that life is better when you’re laughing (preferably with a Diet Dr Pepper in hand).
