Nanouk Kira has been making up stories ever since she can remember. As a child she used to pretend to be a character in a different world. Later on she started writing books. She loves a plot twist, a morally grey character and some humor in books. Fun fact: Nanouk started to write Broken Arrows because she used to hate how the “cool” roles in movies were always reserved for men.

You can find Nanouk on TikTok and Instagram.

John Luke Maxwell grew up in a very rural area of the Deep South, a place that prides itself to this day on having no cable or high-speed Internet access. His family farmhouse is near the bayous of central Mississippi. Here, John learned about ghosts, witches, and other things that go bump in the night. Despite everyone's best efforts, he is more comfortable with creatures of the night than plain ol’ ordinary “good Christian folk”.

His writings have been described as a “slow burn”, mixing romance, mystery, and the supernatural together for chills and delights of all kinds. He hopes to be a professional author and would love to travel more. One of the things on his bucket list is to become a space pirate.
