Ashley Rawlins is a children’s book author who believes that magic didn’t disappear, it just got better at hiding. When she’s not writing stories filled with wonder, curiosity, and heart, she works as an informatics nurse, blending her love of technology and healthcare, to support her creative life (because even dreamers need to put food on the table).

Ashley holds a master’s degree in nursing informatics, along with bachelor’s degrees in nursing and English, which means she’s equally comfortable analyzing data and caring for patients as she is getting lost in creating a good story. Reading and writing have always been her favorite ways to explore the world, especially the parts that bring that spark of magical wonder. Her children’s books are inspired by her children and their passion for science and wonder.

When she’s not working or writing, you can usually find her with a book in hand, spending time with her 3 wonderful children, or convincing herself that the forest is absolutely the best place to find magic. 

Eike Yung is a romance author who believes in true love, soul mates, and the magic of a well-earned happy ending. With a lifelong soft spot for that happily ever after ending, she writes romances that explore deep connection, devotion, and what it means to choose one another again and again. A love so true that it lasts centruies, across lifetimes, and against impossible odds. Her stories are rooted in hope and the belief that some bonds are simply unbreakable.

She lives near the mountains, where quiet days and changing seasons provide endless inspiration. A firm believer in the power of the written word, she handwrites every novel before typing a single chapter, allowing the story to unfold slowly and organically. When she’s not writing, she can often be found curled up with a good book hoping her cat will come use her as a pillow, with the sound of her children’s laughter filling her heart.

She holds a master’s degree and uses her skills to create swoon-worthy stories where no matter the obstacles her characters face—or the centuries that may pass—they will always return to what matters most: a love that lasts, a love that heals, and a love worth waiting for. 

By daylight, A.E. Sieg is a perfectly ordinary human who drinks tea, loses bookmarks with alarming frequency and always forgets that the pen is in her hair. By night, she jumps into another world, filled with magical creatures, spells that are mostly grey, and characters who insist on misbehaving. 

A.E. Sieg writes fantasy novels filled with curiosity, magic, stubborn hope, and the kind of wonder that fills the world with sparkling beauty. When not writing, A.E. Sieg can be found talking to inanimate object (with mixed results), hoarding beautiful notebooks, and believing—despite all evidence—that dragons are simply very good at hiding.

While she would much rather be wandering the woods, listening to the quiet, and daydreaming about characters who might be hiding just beyond the trees, she currently lives somewhere between reality and imagination, and is always one pen stroke away from getting lost again. Busy creating stories filled with wonder and all things magical. Keeping the firm belief close to her heart that it all exist; if one knows where to look.
