Melissa Delport is an award-winning author, copywriter, and lover of the written word.
For ten years Melissa owned and operated her own specialized logistics company until she woke up one morning and decided that it was time to put her English degree to good use. She was offered a three-book deal for The Legacy Trilogy and the rest, as they say, is history. Since then, her speculative fiction has been published in both SA and the USA.
Melissa lives in Hillcrest with her husband and three teenagers, none of whom take her seriously.
She also writes romantic suspense as Lissa Del and contemporary romance as Rachel Rhodes.

JT Lawrence is a mid-6-figure author of 35+ books, mother to a menagerie of chaos, voracious reader and coffee drinker, gin fan, yogi, podcast addict, and wild swimmer. Nothing will convince her that magic isn’t real because she makes a living selling her hallucinations.
Her urban fantasy adventures have kept people up all night and made her a USA Today bestselling author and Kindle Unlimited All-Star with a hundred and forty million page reads, and counting.

Melissa Delport is an award-winning author, copywriter, and lover of the written word.
For ten years Melissa owned and operated her own specialized logistics company until she woke up one morning and decided that it was time to put her English degree to good use. She was offered a three-book deal for The Legacy Trilogy and the rest, as they say, is history. Since then, her speculative fiction has been published in both SA and the USA.
Melissa lives in Hillcrest with her husband and three teenagers, none of whom take her seriously.
She also writes romantic suspense as Lissa Del and contemporary romance as Rachel Rhodes.

JT Lawrence is a mid-6-figure author of 35+ books, mother to a menagerie of chaos, voracious reader and coffee drinker, gin fan, yogi, podcast addict, and wild swimmer. Nothing will convince her that magic isn’t real because she makes a living selling her hallucinations.
Her urban fantasy adventures have kept people up all night and made her a USA Today bestselling author and Kindle Unlimited All-Star with a hundred and forty million page reads, and counting.

Scribeshadow is the perfect partner for indie authors who don’t want to leave money on the table. Scribeshadow uses cutting-edge AI to make novel translation fast, affordable, and super easy. In just minutes, your book can be translated into over 19 languages with high-quality results, ready to reach readers everywhere.
This isn’t some faceless tech giant—ScribeShadow is a small, family-run team with indie roots. They’ve been in the trenches, running a small publishing press, so they get the author grind. That’s why they’ve built a tool that’s practical, budget-friendly, and designed with indie authors in mind. Plus, they offer cover creation, audiobook translation, and a simple one-credit system for everything. Best of all? You keep full rights to your work, and your books are never used to train AI.

Melissa Delport is an award-winning author, copywriter, and lover of the written word.
For ten years Melissa owned and operated her own specialized logistics company until she woke up one morning and decided that it was time to put her English degree to good use. She was offered a three-book deal for The Legacy Trilogy and the rest, as they say, is history. Since then, her speculative fiction has been published in both SA and the USA.
Melissa lives in Hillcrest with her husband and three teenagers, none of whom take her seriously.
She also writes romantic suspense as Lissa Del and contemporary romance as Rachel Rhodes.

JT Lawrence is a mid-6-figure author of 35+ books, mother to a menagerie of chaos, voracious reader and coffee drinker, gin fan, yogi, podcast addict, and wild swimmer. Nothing will convince her that magic isn’t real because she makes a living selling her hallucinations.
Her urban fantasy adventures have kept people up all night and made her a USA Today bestselling author and Kindle Unlimited All-Star with a hundred and forty million page reads, and counting.
