Honey Gouge Casey writes stories deeply rooted in the history, folklore, and traditions of Appalachia. With family roots in East Tennessee, she draws inspiration from a heritage rich with stories passed down through generations.

Her debut novel, Whiskey & Ashes, draws directly from those roots, weaving the spirit of Appalachia into its pages. She followed it with the completed Mountain Covenant Trilogy, comprised of The Blood Weave, Of Blood and Iron, and The Broken Path. Blending historical fiction with Appalachian folklore, the trilogy explores the bonds of family, the weight of legacy, and the stories that endure long after those who first told them are gone.

Amy Kline writes contemporary romance infused with suspense, danger, and heart. Her Beyond the Gates series begins with her debut novel, Flames Beyond the Gates, following four women on deeply personal journeys of self-discovery, resilience, and love.

In the secluded mountains, their lives become intertwined with a group of former military operatives who have built a private refuge away from the world. As unexpected connections deepen into unbreakable bonds, the safety they have found is put to the test. Old enemies resurface, new threats emerge, and love may prove to be their greatest strength when everything they have built is on the line.
