CAITEE COOPER
Caitee Cooper grew up in Laramie, Wyoming, where she enjoyed all things outdoorsy, musical, and bookish. She went to college at the University of Wyoming, where she earned a B.S in Psychology as well as two minors: one in music and one in business management (which is code for ‘she didn’t know what she wanted to be when she grew up so decided to just cover her bases.’)
While attending school, she met and married her husband, Dallin, and they went on to have many adventures. Caitee currently lives in Riverton, Wyoming with her husband and their two boys, Evan and Levi.

AMANDA SIRI HILL
Amanda Siri Hill is a debut mystery author who strives to write books that help us face our inner demons and find our humanity.
She believes...
✓ You deserve to read a good book that makes you feel better for having read it
✓ The baggage of guilt is a burden
✓ Her books are for you if you want clean stories that aren't afraid to go deep
✓ Exploring our inner demons helps us face them
✓ Stories should have conflicting characters facing impossible decisions

HEATHER G. HARRIS
Heather G. Harris is a top-100 Amazon best-selling fantasy author. She is honoured and privileged to work full time as an author. She is British, so expect those extra u’s and less of those z’s.
Heather went to university in Liverpool. There she took up skydiving and met her future husband. Nowadays, she owns a Great Dane called Sierra who is her dutiful work colleague, sitting for hours next to Heather while she writes tales of magic, mystery and love.
When Heather’s not running around after her three gorgeous children, she is often plotting her next book. In her spare time she daydreams about vampires, dragons and kick ass heroines.
