KL Kreig here. Mom to two amazing grown humans, four even more amazing granddaughters and one giant, slobbery, farty Cane Corso named Ari! I’ve been writing for 10+ years but do it off the side of my desk, as I have a full time job that requires a lot of time and attention. I love books, obvi, travel, sun and just about any cocktail you put in front of me. I write stories that are deeply emotional, gripping and unforgettable.

Cassandra Featherstone

I’m an extroverted, ADHD Muppet who has been writing since I was a wee tot. COVID lockdown made it possible for me to start my self-publishing journey and finally put my stories into the world. I have published 18 books, 2 audio books (four in progress now), been in six anthologies, and have three books headed to foreign translation as we speak. Every day, I’m awe of how amazing my readers are and where I am in my author career. I love it and cannot wait to make it my full time job. Mr. Cass and I just had our twenty-third anniversary and my artsy goblin daughter lives with us, four cats, and my author doggo, Tilly.

Ann Marie Walker – I am the author of nine novels, ranging from romantic suspense to romantic comedy. I’m a fan of fancy cocktails, anything chocolate, and ’80s rom-coms. My superpower is connecting any situation to an episode of Friends, and I think all coffee cups should be the size of a bowl. I attended the University of Notre Dame, have 4 children and in June married the man of my dreams which also provided me with a top notch assistant at book signings 🙂 I grew up in Nashville but currently split my time between Chicago & Indianapolis.

How did you hear about this event?

Through many Chicago area author friends
