The writers behind this newsletter.

I'm the author of Carl Melcher Goes to Vietnam, and nine other books available on Amazon and other venues. I will be publishing my 'follow on' to Carl Melcher in September. Haven't decided on a title yet. Stay tuned!
I'm a first-time self-published author and learning lots on my writer journey. My book The Edge of Grief was born out of my own "living" grief experiences. The Indie Lit Lounge awarded it a 5-star review.
I’m Marie—storyteller, 15-year publishing vet, and silly goose. I live in the 'what if' and 'why.' Subscribe for off-center fiction, personal essays, a serialized novella, and honest dispatches from the writing life. Hooray!
I am Nerra, Keeper of Caerwyn. I write a quiet, myth-rooted fantasy shaped by rhythm, stillness, and emotional truth.
I write literary fantasy rooted in ancient Indian cosmology, where the divine and the everyday meet in modern cities and family kitchens. Here you'll find essays on myth, culture, and the craft of storytelling.
