All six of them are talented and offer incredible stories with their own unique voices. Check out them and their work!
#1 Leia Faiga
Jewish Romance Writer
I have been writing for over 30 years, but professionally for 5 years. I have been steadily a contemporary romance writer, but I am branching out into different sub-genres of romance. I am trying to center in on being a romance author with the focal point of my stories focusing around my Jewish faith. More of a secular and culturally dynamic, I hope I can showcase Jewish characters in a main character love interest role, rather than the stereotype I’ve always seen people have my community represented by.
When I’m not writing, I read and I take care of my son and husband. My life outside of writing is rather mundane. So, writing is as exciting as I get. As for the kind of content I typically cover can be considered triggering to some readers. I like to introduce not glorify, gloss over, mock, or overindulge in topics that may offend of harm someone else. But, I try to show people realistic struggles that many people face in their lives. That could include peer bullying, irresponsible self-harm, mental illness, etc. Most of my material are not meant for readers under 18.
#2 J Alleyn Winchester
Literary & Spiritual Fantasy Author
J. Alleyn Winchester is the author of Artemis of the Dodekatheon and Nature Calls, Spring. Listening to his father play on his guitar before reading bedtime stories from the Children’s Book of Virtues, Aesop’s Fables, or The Chronicles of Narnia was a beloved bedtime ritual. He fell in love with how myth and lore shaped generations of cultures and studied storytelling from literary, theatrical, and spiritual perspectives from a young age. They inspired him to write his own tales, starting with one page shorts that would grow into a few chapters. In middle school, he found that stories helped him navigate the complexities of growing up with depression, anxiety, and alternative world views. When he was sixteen, he began developing three, far-reaching series that would later be called The Triad Sagas, two of which were Dodekatheon and Nature Calls. He married his high school sweetheart and muse who shares his love of storytelling with their feline familiar, Archibald. Together, they hope the Imaginings Universe plants new seeds of inspiration in the hearts and minds of generations now and to come.

#5 Elicia Roper
Writer of heartwarming and emotional novels with mental health rep
Elicia Roper is an Amazon bestselling author.
She is a black indie author who lives and writes in Canada. Elicia writes heart-warming and emotional stories. "All That You Are" is her debut novel. Her love for reading and writing started when she was in elementary school.
Writing has been therapeutic for Elicia, an outlet for her to finally say the words she could never say out loud. It is Elicia's hope that this book heals you, in the many ways that it has comforted and healed her too.
Elicia loves to hear from her readers and can be reached on all these social media accounts. Hearing your feedback has motivated Elicia to write and stay inspired on her journey of becoming an author. If you have read (or plan to read!) All That You Are, please leave a review on Amazon. Nothing sells books more than a good word of mouth, and Elicia would be so, so grateful to any words you might be willing to leave!
