Contemporary Romance
Maris Beckett
Smart heroines. High heat. Love worth the risk.
Maris Beckett spent fifteen years in brand strategy before she started writing the love stories she wished were on her nightstand—explicit, trope-forward romance across contemporary, small-town, suspense, and rom-com. She's Emberline's founding voice and the author of every title published so far.

Cozy Mystery
Juniper Vale
Secrets behind every screen door.
Juniper Vale grew up between Austin and her grandmother's porch in the Hill Country, where every scandal arrived with sweet tea and a witness who swore they saw nothing. She writes cozy mysteries for readers who want charm, community, and a body in the garden—not on the page.

Thriller
Lenora Pike
Trust no one. Especially the narrator.
Lenora Pike is a former investigative researcher who traded true-crime podcasts for fiction when she realized the stories she couldn't stop thinking about all ended with someone still alive—and someone who wished they weren't. She writes propulsive thrillers for readers who like their twists earned and their heroines impossible to kill off.

Women's Fiction
Celia Thorne
The life you rebuild after the life you planned.
Celia Thorne began writing at forty-four, after a career in hospice social work taught her that the bravest stories aren't about falling in love—they're about deciding, finally, to stay in your own life. She writes women's fiction for readers who know what they've survived and are still learning what they want next.

Contemporary Fiction
Rowan Ellison
Messy lives. Sharp sentences. No easy answers.
Rowan Ellison writes contemporary fiction the way she lives—messy, loud, and with an unreasonable faith that people are worth the trouble it takes to understand them. Her books are for readers who want wit, warmth, and characters who talk back to the universe when it throws a wrench in their plans.
