“Bowery’s debut is a great read with a wild ride through hate, lust, and love in the world of political social media influencing. Highly recommended.” — Library Journal  “One of my favorite reads this year. Love, Hate & Clickbait is a steamy and satisfying romp on politics, public life, and our private hearts.” — Jean Meltzer, author of The Matzah Ball  Liz Bowery writes love stories about terrible people. Her interests include politics, cheese, and game nights with friends. Exactly no one in her life was surprised to learn she had written a romance novel.   By day she is an attorney, and by night, after her son is asleep, and after otherwise procrastinating for as long as humanly possible, she sometimes writes. Love, Hate & Clickbait is her debut novel.

Anna Mocikat was born in Warsaw, Poland, but has spent most of her life in Munich, Germany, where she attended film school to become a screenwriter, and went on to work in the German film industry as a scriptwriter, producer, and director, where won several awards.  A huge fan of video games, she went on to work as a game writer in the German video game business for a while before making her childhood dream come true by getting her first novel published. She has been a full-time novelist ever since.   In 2016, she moved to the United States, and is now in South Carolina. Her English novel debut, Shadow City, was published in 2019, and she has gone on to release two more series, Behind Blue Eyes and Cyber Squad.   When not spending time in the worlds inside her head and writing about them,  she enjoys walking her dogs, playing video games on her Xbox, reading, movies, listening to Gothic and Industrial music, and everything relating to cyborgs…and may be one, herself.

Romance with a dose of sugar and a dash of spice  About Denise—from her website, www.denisenwheatley.com   I am a lover of romance, happy endings and the art of storytelling. My first novel, I WISH I NEVER MET YOU, was published by Simon & Schuster in 2004. I've since traditionally published several novels and novellas, including contemporary, suspense and paranormal romance. I strive to create characters who are strong, colorful and relatable, and tell entertaining stories that embody matters of the heart.  I am currently writing for Harlequin Intrigue and Tule Publishing. My first Intrigue novel, COLD CASE, TRUE CRIME, was released in June 2021. The follow up, BAYOU CHRISTMAS DISAPPEARANCE, hit shelves in early December. Book 1 in my West Coast Crime Story series, THE HEART-SHAPED MURDERS, will be available through Harlequin on May 1st and all other retailers on May 24th. Finally, my romantic holiday thriller, BACKCOUNTRY COVER UP, will be available in November. As for Tule, I wrote two sweet holiday romances, LOVE AT THE ICICLE CAFE (2020) and CHRISTMAS IN FULL BLOOM (2021). Books 1, 2 and 3 in my Fearless Fairytale series, SHE GETS WHAT SHE WANTS, SHE GETS WHAT SHE DESERVES, and SHE GETS A HAPPY ENDING, are available now.  Fun fact: I've written several sweet and spicy novels and novellas for eXtasy Books! CLICK HERE to check those out. I received a B.A. in English from the University of Illinois at Chicago, the city where I was born and raised. When I'm not sitting behind a computer, you can find me in a movie theater, at home reading a romance novel, watching true crime television or chatting on social media.

THE LADY OR THE LION (Book #1 of the Marghazar Trials)  THE MAN OR THE MONSTER (Book #2 of the Marghazar Trials)  “An intricate deep dive into a forbidden love story and all the stages in-between. Aamna Qureshi writes of a world steeped in rich culture and tumultuous politics with an expert hand. THE LADY OR THE LION is a gorgeous read.” - Chloe Gong, NYT Bestselling Author of These Violent Delights  SILVER Award for Teen Fiction at the IBPA Benjamin Franklin Awards-- SILVER Award for YA Audiobook at the IBPA Benjamin Franklin Awards-- SILVER Award for Best First Fiction JUV/YA at the IPPY Awards  Aamna Qureshi is a Pakistani, Muslim American who adores words. She grew up on Long Island, New York, in a very loud household, surrounded by English (for school), Urdu (for conversation), and Punjabi (for emotion). Much of her childhood was spent being grounded for reading past her bed-time, writing stories in the backs of her notebooks, and being scolded by teachers for passing chapters under the tables. Through her writing, she wishes to inspire a love for the beautiful country and rich culture that informed much of her identity.  Her debut novel, a Pakistan-inspired YA fantasy about a desi princess and forbidden love, THE LADY OR THE LION and its sequel, THE MAN OR THE MONSTER, are both out now. WHEN A BROWN GIRL FLEES, a YA literary novel about a hijabi teen who runs away from home in order to find herself, is out in 2023.  When she's not writing, she loves to travel to new places where she can explore different cultures or to Pakistan where she can revitalize her roots. She also loves baking complicated desserts, drinking fancy teas and coffees, watching sappy rom-coms, and going for walks about the estate (her backyard). She currently lives in New York.

Neither here nor there, but long ago… "Abdullah writes stories like a sparkling, burning thing painted against the pitch-black night, ever out of our reach. Gently touched with lyrical writing, Abdullah’s talent is making you feel like magic exists."―Buzzfeed ★ "Abdullah’s ambitious debut, the first in the Sandsea Trilogy, weaves an intricate tale that draws from the legends of One Thousand and One Nights to create something entirely new.... Lush descriptions bring the setting to life, while the focus on myth and storytelling contrasted against the characters’ harsh reality adds to the sense of mystery and enchantment. This powerful, intriguing adventure will leave readers eager for more."―Publishers Weekly, starred review ★ “An impressive first in an expected trilogy, one that hits high notes of several popular themes and trends (found families, classics retold), but offers fresh perspectives as well. It will delight readers who appreciate highly atmospheric books. Share widely, not just with fantasy readers.” —Library Journal, starred review Chelsea Abdullah is an American-Kuwaiti writer born and raised in Kuwait, where she grew up listening to stories about mysterious desert creatures and wily (only sometimes likable) heroes. She is the author of THE STARDUST THIEF, the first in the Sandsea Trilogy, released May 17, 2022. Consumed by wanderlust, she has put down roots in various states. After earning her MA in English at Duquesne University, she moved to New York, where she currently lives. When not immersed in her own fictional worlds, she spends her free time playing video games, doodling characters, and hoarding books she doesn’t have the shelf space for.

A surprising, profound tribute to the absurdities and paranoia of modern life, The Temps is an epic exploration of survival and human connection in the digital age. “This boiling-pot of a novel is a vivid experiment in millennial disillusionment...Simultaneously a dark dystopic and a hilarious tale of bureaucratic absurdity, The Temps is bizarre—and unexpectedly fun.” —Booklist (starred review) “A smart critique of modern life.” —Publishers Weekly Andrew DeYoung is a writer and editor who lives in Minnesota with his wife, two amazing little kids, and a feline companion named June Carter Cat. His previous work, The Exo Project, won a Minnesota Book Award in 2018. “I like something that’s a little bit of high and low, that mashes things together, whether that’s a novel that draws from multiple genres, or a piece of culture writing that explores the intersection between art and life.”
