Bendigo and an Aussie girl who loves to daydream.
She has never been great at talking about herself or making bios, but she has an imagination the size of Australia and while she may not have enough time on her hands to be writing every second of everyday like she would like to - thanks to her tornado toddlers - but she has had enough time to write her debut, Shades of Smoke and Shadows which released in July, 2024 as the first instalment of the Crooked Crowns series.
Here's to being an author, the faerie world I wish I could live in, and so much more fun to come!

Stories are everywhere in this world, timeless constructs that help society develop and grow. So, it's about time we listened, don't you think?
Anisa Worthington is a fantasy and contemporary fiction author. She writes stories that are inherently about magic and love, weaving one or, often, both elements into her stories. Because that’s what she believes storytelling is. Magic.
Ever since she was young, she’s had this unwavering belief. She credits Rick Riordan, Shakespeare, and the many musicals her mother would play on repeat for this belief, too.
From growing up in Texas, USA, to settling in Sydney, NSW, reading, analysing, and imagining stories has been a constant in Anisa’s life.
If she isn’t sitting beside her dog with her nose buried in a book – either reading or providing an editing service – she’s listening to music and daydreaming about future fantastical adventure stories.

Athina is a dedicated indie author with a fervent passion for the written word.
With almost 20 books published, my literary journey has been a thrilling adventure through the realms of romance, paranormal intrigue, and fantastical worlds.
Each book I pen is a labor of love, intricately weaving together compelling narratives and vibrant characters that I hope will resonate with readers long after they've turned the final page.
My path as a writer has not been without its challenges. Battling dyslexia from a young age, I faced numerous obstacles in my quest to master the art of reading and writing. However, with unwavering determination and a steadfast belief in myself, I not only conquered these challenges but also discovered a profound love for storytelling—a love that continues to drive me forward in my writing journey.
Through my stories, I strive to create worlds that not only captivate the imagination but also serve as a source of empowerment and encouragement for readers. I want my books to be a beacon of hope, reminding readers that no dream is too big and no challenge too daunting, as long as they have the courage to chase after what they desire most.

Living with dyslexia, dysgraphia, ASD, ADHD, schizophrenia, and an eating disorder, Bella brings a kaleidoscopic perspective to her writing. The challenges she faces are woven into her stories, turning obstacles into the very things that make her voice distinct. For Bella, these differences aren’t roadblocks; they’re the heart of what makes her work resonate.
At 16, someone told her she’d be better off drawing than writing. Instead of letting those words stop her, Bella made them the spark that fuelled her determination. Today, at the age of 32, she’s the author of the acclaimed Crown series—beginning with To Wear A Crown Of Shadow (2024) and continuing with To Wear A Crown Of Fire (2026)—as well as Tomorrow's Song (2025), Irises In Winter (2025), and a picture book, The Question Mark (originally published in 2010, revised and re-released in 2024).
Now based in the city of Bendigo, Bella crafts her stories between sips of bubble tea and the occasional cosplay escape. Technology is her chosen magic wand, helping bridge the gap between the vivid worlds in her mind and the written page. Through her work, she hopes to show other neurodivergent creators that their stories matter just as much as anyone else’s—and sometimes, the most powerful tales are the ones no one expected to hear.
No matter where her writing takes her next, one thing is certain: Bella Claire will always be telling stories with heart, courage, and a dash of rebellion.

In recent years, her love for storytelling grew, and she decided it was finally time to put pen to paper and share her ideas. She is always coming up with new ideas, so stay tuned for future projects.

I’m a writer and author with dyslexia, and I wear blue-tinted glasses that make reading and writing much more comfortable. I found my passion for storytelling later in life—and once I started, I never looked back.
I live on the East Coast of Australia, lucky enough to be surrounded by some of the world’s most breathtaking beaches. I write why choose mafia romance with a dark edge, and occasionally dip into the paranormal when the mood strikes. Twisted love, fierce women, and morally grey men? Yes, please.
My family—my children (both mine and my husband’s), grandchildren, and loved ones—are my greatest treasures. My youngest finally moved out (hallelujah!), and honestly, I thought I’d be half-dead by the time it happened. Family is everything to me, and I’m deeply grateful for the close bond we share. Our German Shepherd, Honey, drowns us in affection and has absolutely no idea she’s a dog. We also share our home with three cats: Barbra, who inspired Grace’s familiar in my first book; Mr Whiskers, the charming troublemaker; and Penny, who decided we were hers and never left.

Sommer-Lee Deaves is a fantasy, romance and unhinged novella author, business owner, and mother of four who has been escaping into books since childhood.
For as long as she can remember, stories have been her portal — places to breathe, dream, and get gloriously lost. Writing became her own form of magic: a way to switch off the noise of everyday life, tap into a creative mind that never sleeps, and build new worlds from the ground up. These stories pop up at the most random of times, in the shower, driving in silence or after a few tequilas...
When she’s not wrangling kids or running a business she’s helmed for too many years, you’ll likely find her at her Adult HipHop dance class, being a dance mum, shotting tequila on a girls night, or theorising exactly how she’d survive a zombie apocalypse to her staff and clients.
