When they aren't busy working on their novels, you can usually find them browsing queer romance recommendations or playing a video game.

MN Bennet loves reading and writing about magical worlds, sweet romances, and snarky characters. When not writing, buried in a stack of TBR books, or binge watching something captivating, he can be found working on lesson plans.

Avid reader, music aficionado, and old soul Rae Stone has been inspired since high school by her love of romance novels and rock n roll. It just so happened that the two have come together to make her debut series one of the Rockstar variety.

B is a self described weirdo from the wild prairies of Alberta, Canada who lives on a diet of coffee, hockey and horror movies. Along with her collection of increasingly strange art and slightly off-putting oddities, B lives with her husband and collection of pets in a house that looks like Halloween threw up everywhere. Her love language is music, and she collects coffee mugs and garden gnomes, but only really ugly ones.

Rikki Leighton is a queer romance author with an extra special spot in their heart for the M/M community. They write primarily contemporary romances with attention drawn to mental health and plenty of hurt/comfort to go around. They'll bring lots of heat and heartache but will always deliver a well-deserved HEA to every story.

They live in East Tennessee with their two rambunctious children and partner, no pets because their kids are wild enough. If they aren't obsessing over what words go on the page, they're likely drowning their attention in drama shows and horror movies.

Lily James is a UK-based author with a soft spot for beautiful, heart-stealing queer romance. A lover of swoony stories, she’s especially fond of tales where complicated men fall hopelessly for each other. She lives in the West Midlands with her partner and their chubby dog, Winston—who definitely has main character energy.

H.L Day grew up in the North of England. As a child she was an avid reader, spending lots of time at the local library or escaping into the imaginary worlds created by the books she read. Her grandmother first introduced her to the genre of romance novels, as a teenager, and all the steamy sex they entailed. Naughty Grandma!

One day, H.L Day stumbled upon the world of m/m romance. She remained content to read other people’s books for a while, before deciding to give it a go herself.

Now, she’s a teacher by day and a writer by night. Actually, that’s not quite true—she’s a teacher by day, procrastinates about writing at night and writes in the school holidays, when she’s not continuing to procrastinate. After all, there’s books to read, places to go, people to see, exercise at the gym to do, films to watch. So many things to do—so few hours to do it in. Every now and again, she musters enough self-discipline to actually get some words onto paper—sometimes they even make sense and are in the right order.

Ronan Marlow loves to read and write queer romance. He loves creating deep, complicated, and broken characters that find love and healing. While his books may contain dark themes, you're always guaranteed a happily ever after. Ronan lives in Victoria, Australia, with his cat Oni, and is probably reading, writing, drawing, or drinking a ridiculous amount of coffee.

N. Boeyer grew up in a tiny country called the Netherlands. She has been bilingual since she couldn’t wait for the Dutch translations of her favorite books, so she taught herself English. This resulted in her pursuing an English education from the age of twelve, and writing stories followed shortly thereafter. Since she was a teenager, it has been her dream to be a writer, and a writer she has always been at heart.

It took her awhile to accept that the pretty boys who talk way too much in her head needed a voice, and her love for gay romance grew bigger with every written word and chapter. She has finally found the guts to share her boys with the world and hopes someone out there will love them as much as she does.
