INTRODUCING A.L. DAVROE
Hi everyone! My name
is A.L. Davroe (but, you can call me Amanda).
I write a lot of things -- sci-fi, fantasy, horror, romance. I love anything that falls under the
"speculative fiction" umbrella -- if it's not real, I wanna write
it. And I also REALLY like to do
revisionist tales and retellings.
There's nothing quite like turning something that people know and love
on its head. Mostly I write these things
for teens and adults.
If you want to know about me, I'm quite simple: I love tea and books and things that are a
little strange. I wear corsets and
purple shoes, though not always in the same ensemble. I make cheese for a living and I write as a
hobby. I love animals but I own cats
because, like me, they're independent and discerning creatures. I like that you have to work to get them to
like you. I blush a lot. At, like, pretty much everything. I like sweets...chewy fruity stuff or Cadbury
chocolate? Oh heck yeah, I'm there! Also, chai tea lattes...I don't think I could
live without those, especially during conventions and book deadlines.
I'm a Hufflepuff, a Capricorn, a bit gothic in spirit, and
I'm damn proud of all of it. My life
goal is to be best friends with Neil Gaiman.
I've got a few books that are currently out:
FOR YOUR HEART, a paranormal romance/contemporary fantasy
that is a retelling of the Scottish ballad of Tam Lin, is available on
Amazon.
My futuristic Sci-Fi novel, NEXIS, is about a young woman
who becomes paralyzed and seeks refuge in a virtual world, that is, until the
virtual world starts to seep into her real world (there's some romance in here
too!). You can pick that up online or at
a bookstore near you. And if you like
it, the sequel (REDUX) is out December 6.
This year for Authors After Dark, I'm going to be having a
debut horror novel with me called M.I.A. which is about a ghost and a
schizophrenic going up against a serial killer in order to save his latest
victim. So far, readers are absolutely
loving this book because it's nice and unsettling. If you like psychological horror, it's
totally gonna be your thing. If you
can’t wait for it, I’m currently releasing it on Wattpad.
I'll also (hopefully) have a print
edition of my CITY STEAM COLLECTION, a collection of weird and horrific tales
that take place in a steampunky, paranormals infested alternate world. Don't lynch me if I don't have that done in
time though, I just got handed a super secret project by my editor that you're
probably gonna love way more and that may eat up all my time.
I'm not going to be hosting any special events at Authors
After Dark this year because I'm going to have my most favorite readers of all
with me: my mom and my grandmother! It's going to be their first time at AAD, so
I'm going to be showing them the ropes, but that doesn't mean that you
shouldn't come say hi -- especially to my grandmother, she likes to make
friends with everyone (especially if
they like books as much as she does). If
you'd like to catch me, I'll be attending all the meals as well as speaking on
a number of panels and, of course, I'll be there for the signing. I'm so excited to meet you!

INTRODUCING K. MARGARET
Hey everyone, my name is K. Margaret and I write paranormal
romance. I currently live right outside
of Atlanta, Georgia, by way of Northern California and Connecticut. When I’m
not writing, I’m working as a title paralegal, hanging out with my teenage daughter,
or watching sports. I have a slight (okay, maybe large) obsession with sports.
I’m the crazy chick that wakes up to the NFL Network when most people wake up
to the morning news.
I started writing poetry as a child, but didn’t really get
into writing fiction until I was in my twenties. My best friend and I would sit
around and tell stories and one day I decided I needed to put those stories on
paper. The voices in my head also demanded it, especially one particular demon.
We’ll call her Empusa.
I released my first book, Dare to Dream, last November,
which is also the first book in my Dark Dreams Series. Endless Nightmare: The Origin of a Demon was
released last month. And Dreams in the Dark, Book Two of the Dark Dreams Series
is being released at AAD and I’m so excited to introduce you to new characters
and check in on some old ones. My books are filled with demons, witches,
shifters, slayers, gods, and more. I love to write strong-headed, sarcastic,
kickass females and the men who put up with them.
While I have attended AAD several times as a reader, this
year will be my first year attending as an author and I’m so excited! I have so
much planned and lots of fun stuff to give away. If you’re sitting at my table
for the Debut Dinner, you’ll find out all about my favorite saying, WWED (What
Would Empusa Do?). We’ll be going a little demon on that one! For my Fantasy
Ball table, the theme is witches, but not just any witch. Dreams in the Dark
takes place in Savannah and one of the characters is a witch named Tiffany.
She’s a total trip and a half, so I couldn’t think of a more perfect setting to
base my theme around her and her shop, The Triple Goddess. Don’t worry though, if you’re not sitting at
my tables you’ll be able to find me at other events. I’ll be one of the authors
hosting breakfast on Thursday morning, attending the New Release Party, and
I’ll be at the Literary Tea (with more fun swag!) Thursday night, you’ll find
me down at Smiles, my favorite piano bar. So make sure to stop by, have a drink
with me and sing along (just don’t make fun of my horrible singing voice J )
I’ll be getting to Savannah on Monday, so make sure you find
me and say hello. The first three people who ask me “What would Empusa do?’ I
have a special gift for.
Looking forward to seeing everyone in August!
