Learn more about our featured authors:
💕 Tara Tai (Single Player)
Tara is an Asian American writer based in Boston, where they spend most of their time playing TTRPGs & romancing video game NPCs. When they aren’t lost in imaginary worlds, they’re happily annoying their wife, Audrey, and their dog, Gingko. Their debut novel Single Player is a delightful queer enemies-to-lovers workplace romance about two video game creators going head-to-head—and falling in love along the way!
đź’• Lenora Woods (Roll for Romance)
Lenora is a writer hailing from Austin, Texas who now calls Malden home! When she’s not writing, you can find her hiking, rolling dice, or pretending to be an elf at her local Renaissance Faire. Her debut novel Roll for Romance is a cozy, fantasy-tinged love story where two fledgling tabletop gamers find themselves falling for each other — both in and out of their weekly D&D sessions!
