Sabrina Blackburry
I’m a fantasy author from Missouri who enjoys reading as much as I enjoy writing. Blame The Hobbit, blame Tamora Pierce, either way, books are a huge part of my life and I wouldn’t change that for the world. Other than books, I spend my time at the renaissance festival, gardening, playing tabletop games, and wandering nature trails.
Sylvie Stewart
USA Today bestselling author Sylvie Stewart loves dad jokes, dirty rom-coms, country music, and baby skunks—preferably all at the same time. Most of her steamy romantic comedies take place across her favorite state of North Carolina, and her characters never run out of snarky banter or snacks. When her laptop closes, Sylvie is a sucker for hugs from her twin boys and a good laugh with her hot-nerd hubby. If you love smart Southern gals, hot blue-collar guys, and snort-laughing with characters who feel like your best friends, Sylvie’s your gal.
