Alexia Gray Author

I write swoon-worthy romantasy filled with fierce heroines, morally grey men, and just enough steam to fog up your reading glasses. My Drakaren Brothers Series blends passion, prophecy, and high stakes betrayal in a world shaped by ancient gods, ruthless kings, and love powerful enough to break kingdoms or save them. I have always been obsessed with stories where desire simmers beneath danger, where one spark can change the course of a realm, and where a single kiss can feel as world altering as a battle. That love for epic emotion brought the Drakaren world to life, a place where wounded doves can rise, princes can burn, and fate is never stronger than the people brave enough to defy it. When I am not plotting tension filled scenes or crafting warriors who ruin everyone’s standards for men, you can find me in messy hair and coffee stained sweatpants, chasing my toddlers, teasing my husband, and dreaming up the next moment that will leave readers clutching their books and screaming into the void. Welcome to my world. I am so glad you are here.

A circadian rhythm magic system, weaponized lottery, and slow-burn romantic sub-plot that’ll have you squealing over a simple wrist touch make This Safe Darkness the perfect read for fans of The Hunger Games, Blood Over Bright Haven, and Gild.

Brittany Dixon

In the fantastical world of Atlastova, Mora finds herself torn between identities. Both chaos and darkness vie for her full attention. She must decide how to ensure the survival of All and still be… “merely Mora”. Salut, I’m a single mom with a passion for storytelling. I have been writing and illustrating since I was five. My inspiration is set aflame by the moon, mushrooms, moths, and music. Atlastova manifested from a vision I had of my main heroine, Mora, when I was pregnant with my oldest childling. Ever since, I have developed an adoration of world-building and the complexity of character development. I yearn to share my stories with as many people who will listen, read my words, and share my enthusiasm. One day, I hope to be a bestselling, fantasy author, children’s book illustrator, and amass my own foraging farm where I can enjoy the company of a variety of fungi. Meanwhile, I hide in my own liminal space of enchantment to turn my dreams into reality. Whether I’m entertaining myself with painting, jewelry making, reading, writing, traveling, crocheting, or merely sitting outside to watch the brilliant kaleidoscopic turn of each season, I delight in expanding and seeking new ways to express myself; while also enthusiastically encouraging my childlings to join me on my adventures.

When she isn’t writing, Camille can usually be found collecting new hobbies, overthinking fictional characters, dancing, gaming, or trying to convince herself that "just one more scene" counts as a reasonable bedtime. The Truth-Teller’s Bargain is her debut novel.

Deviant Drafts

I live in Illinois with my partner, and our seven cats. I spend most of my time drowning out my depression and anxiety by writing about characters with depression and anxiety (and powers). My debut novel, Lament of Light, fully funded on Kickstarter in under two minutes, and raised over four thousand dollars. For fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Miraculous Ladybug. It is a young adult novel following multiple povs across a journey of self discovery and what it means to be a hero. It's a fast paced, very character driven story, with a lot of emotion and humor, along with fun action and high stakes. Not to mention, cool powers! I’ve gone to so so many Leakycons in the past, and it would feel like such a full circle moment for my first author convention to be with you guys, at Enchanticon. Thank you for considering me!

When a medieval weaver’s daughter, an atheist fortune teller, and a future analyst stumble upon a mysterious prophecy, their choices ripple across a thousand years. From 1300s England to modern-day California to a dystopian world in 2307, Miryam, Leah, and Karaia must unravel their pasts, face their deepest fears, and embrace their power. Because it turns out, we're far more magical than we ever imagined.

When Jessica’s not lost in a story, you can find her baking sourdough, foraging for wild edibles, dancing barefoot in her kitchen, or spending time with her partner, children, cat, and dog in Missouri.
