ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Lindsey Kelk
Lindsey is a Sunday Times and USA Today bestselling author, a podcaster and vociferous defender of The Cheesecake Factory. Her books include the I Heart series, Christmas Fling, The Christmas Wish, Love Story and the YA romantasy series, The Bell Witches. When she isn’t writing, Lindsey moonlights as a co-host on Tights and Fights, a pro-wrestling podcast on the Maximum Fun network. Yes, really, pro-wrestling. And when she isn’t writing, podcasting or ruining her life with social media, Lindsey is most likely to be found reading, watching literally anything on television, texting the group chat or planning a karaoke night (please note she cannot sing). Born and raised in South Yorkshire, Lindsey lived in London and New York before settling in Los Angeles, where she lives with her husband and their two cats.

Julie Soto

Her musical Generation Me won the 2017 New York Musical Festival’s Best Musical award, as well as Best Book for her script. She is a musical theater geek, fandom nerd, and the author of many spicy fan fictions. Her books include  The Thrashers, Rose in Chains, Not Another Love Song, and Forget Me Not. Julie now lives in Fort Bragg, CA, with her dog, Charlie. She is probably drinking coffee and thinking about Interview with the Vampire as you read this.
