Eliana West:
Eliana West, recipient of the 2022 Nancy Pearl Award for genre fiction, crafts tales featuring characters and communities that reflect the diversity of our world. Weaving together elements of love and hope, she creates stories that grip readers from the very first page and are filled with poignant moments that both tug at heartstrings and leave readers spellbound. Perhaps it’s her love of Jane Austen that draws Eliana to write about small towns, close-knit communities, and both found families and the complex dynamics of the families into which we're born. Eliana loves stories that bring people from different backgrounds together through the common language of unconditional love and acceptance.
When she’s not writing, you’ll find Eliana adventuring with her husband, wandering the back roads in their beloved vintage Volkswagen Westfalia, affectionately named Bianca. Don’t be surprised if those back roads lead to a vineyard.
Emily Rath:
Emily Rath is a New York Times, USA Today, and #1 Amazon bestselling author of fantasy and romance. Emily started her career as an indie author, self-publishing books with little more than a hope and prayer. Now, on Amazon alone, she’s had over 600 million pages read of her books. Her works have been translated into 14 languages and counting.
Stay tuned as we announce more authors in the coming weeks!
