Rachel Hardcastle: Finding Pandora

Welcome to Haeylo, where Supes rule the city, humans are an endangered species and Pandora is as curious as ever.

Arriette Monroe never expected to be thrust into the heart of supernatural chaos, nor did she deem herself worthy of four very special gifts. But now she’s got friends to rescue, Vampyrs to fight and impossible expectations to meet.

Although Arriette thinks she’s walking pandemonium, The Recruit think she’s their saviour. And they’re willing to prove it…

I’m a high fantasy and post-apocalyptic author from Bradford, West Yorkshire in the UK.

I’ve been learning my craft since early 2010 and first published at the age of 14 having written an inspirational poem in school. My debut novel, The Soul Sanctuary, was published at just 18 years old while still studying my A-Levels at Titus Salt School!

I’ve taken courses about writing for children and young adults, and I’m also studying to copy-edit for publishers across the UK. I support local businesses, visit schools and promote independent publishing, so all my stories are written, edited, formatted and published by me, offering a low-cost, epic adventure and a memorable escape from reality for my readers.
I believe through writing we face our darkest fears, explore infinite new worlds and realise our true purpose. I write to entertain and share important morals and values with the world, but above all, I write to be a significant part of something incredible.
In 2016-2017 alone, I have been interviewed by four US and UK radio stations and even appeared on Made in Leeds, TV for my work with Low Ash Primary School.

I now help others reach their self-publishing dreams by offering affordable, professional cover designs and critique services, coaching and consultations.

Sarah Buhrman: Too Wyrd

Nicola was never a hero. She was an everyday single mother, Heathen witch, and herbalist. And she was happy with her quiet life until the night Joseph showed up at her door with news that her step-sister joined a cult… and disappeared.

Pressured by family loyalties, Nicola goes back to Indianapolis, dodging old enemies and calling on old friends to help her. What she finds instead are an ex with super-powers, monsters and demigods on the streets, and a detective ready to bring her in for a murder investigation or three.

Can Nicola become the hero she needs to be, or will she lose everyone she cares for?

Sarah has been writing for more than 20 years. With a tongue-in-cheek way of looking at the world, her form of story and verse is blunt and witty. She lives in the middle of nowhere with two monsters (the kids), an ogre (the hubby), and whatever drama-llama is coming to visit this week.

Tahani Nelson The Last Faoii

The Faoii have protected Clearwall for generations. With militaristic order and stalwart discipline, these women have reigned in prosperity. But when her monastery is attacked and her sisters slaughtered, only young Kaiya-faoii is left alive.

Forced to cope without the long-standing traditions of her Order, Kaiya travels the country on a mission to avenge her sisters and preserve what is left of her heritage. The search brings her not only to dark discoveries and ancient family secrets, but to something she never wanted or dreamed of: a brother she never knew she had.

Forced into a war at the heart of a broken empire, the siblings must evaluate the true meanings of enemy, betrayal and freedom―and the gray areas surrounding each. Meanwhile, Kaiya slowly learns the true state of the world outside her monastery’s walls, the dangers of the poisonous army that is slowly covering the land, and of her own innate abilities gifted by the Goddess.
Tahani Nelson grew up in Mesa, Arizona amidst towering saguaros and a blissful ignorance of snow. Now, she teaches high school English in rural Montana and lives with her husband, two cats, and (somehow) an adamant disregard for the existence of snow boots.
