River Sutaria

River Sutaria

River Sutaria (formerly known as Jharna) is a spoken-word performer and creative writer. They were introduced to slam poetry during their freshman year of high school and have been sharpening their craft ever since. River’s writing style, heavily influenced by Blythe Baird, Sarah Dessen, Amber Smith, and Carmen Maria Machado, is a kaleidoscope of haunting confessions, vivid imagery, and poetic metaphors. It is through sharing their intimate pieces of work that the twenty-four-year-old poet encourages others to use their voice. River’s personal ties to mental health, sexual assault, and transphobia have led them to creatively advocate for the various social issues that they survived.

Bryan Cole

Bryan Cole

Bryan Cole is a long time fan of the fantasy and science fiction genres, having grown up reading and watching everything he could find in those domains. He has had a long career in the enterprise software space, delivering countless presentations and technical sessions to customers all over the world. His love for stories about heroes, villains, magic, and dragons has never dimmed, and in 2022 published his first book is Beginning of Arrogance which is a story about what it means to be a paladin in a world where the gods are manifestly real. Bryan is a complete optimist on the outside, believing that anyone can accomplish any task they set themselves to. He'd suggest that he's a great example, since his first published book came out of nowhere to all of his friends and family! It was a strange journey that led him to writing, but decades of building business presentations gave him a surprising amount of practice in crafting words and conveying emotion (an often overlooked aspect of selling), and he finally made the time in 2022 to take the hundreds of pages of random notes, stories, and adventure ideas he had and committed them to the page.

I’m a horror author and write a lot about ghosts, monsters, magic, and the human condition. A lot of my stories deal with themes of grief and belonging. I’ve loved storytelling since I was a kid, often scaring myself with my own imagination.I self published my first book last year and am currently editing my second.

Sedona Ashe doesn’t reserve her sarcasm for her books; her poor husband can tell you that her wit, humor, and snarky attitude are just part of her daily life.

Sedona lives in a small town at the base of the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. She and her husband share their home with their three children, adorable pup, five cats, an arctic fox, chickens, an emu with happy feet, and over a hundred reptiles. When she isn’t working, she enjoys getting away from the computer to hike, free dive, travel, study languages, and capture places and animals in her photography. She has a crazy goal of writing a million words in a year, and spending six months exploring Indonesia.
