USA Today bestselling author Alisha Klapheke wants to infuse readers’ lives with unique magic, far-flung fantasy settings, and romance. Her inspiration springs from an obsession with history, years of world travel, and the fantasy she grew up reading when she was supposed to be doing her math homework. When she's not writing, Alisha teaches Muay Thai kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Krav Maga to kids, adults, and the occasional country music star at her school just south of Nashville. That may be why writing fight scenes is her favorite. Type your paragraph here.

With more than 100 titles published, William Alan Webb survived a childhood in the tangled forests of West Tennessee, running alongside coyote packs and grappling bears for food. Eventually, his parent installed a thin veneer of 'civilized' behavior over his barbarian state, enough that he could graduate from the University of Memphis with dual concentrations in History and Creative Writing. Webb even fooled his beautiful wife Kathy into marrying him, and after 46 years she is still trying to figure out why she did such a foolish thing.

JC Morrows is a bookaholic, not plain or simple... She started reading at four years old and has never slowed down! When she started running out of books to read, she had to start writing new ones! The best-selling author of more than a dozen books spanning fantasy, dystopian, sci-fi, post-apocalyptic, action/adventure, survival, steampunk and urban fantasy, she writes for young adult, middle grade and adult audiences - with a thread of romance woven into each story. JC is the middle of three generations of authors, both mother to and daughter of an author! She reads in every genre she writes plus so many more! JC prefers hardbound books, but will read in any format she can get her hands on! She does own a Kindle and uses it whenever she happens to finish the other book(s) she carries absolutely everywhere with her. A true storyteller, JC is one of those authors who grew up thinking it was perfectly normal to make up wild and sensational stories, talk to people who weren’t there, and look at the world from a perspective that no one else understood... which is why she tends to write such fantastical tales!
