Bios
Gabbi Grey
Xio Axelrod
Xio Axelrod
is a USA Today bestselling author of different flavours of contemporary
romance. She also writes what she likes to call strange, twisted tales. Xio
grew up in the music industry and began recording at a young age. When she
isn’t writing stories, she can be found in the studio, writing songs, or
performing on international stages (under a different, no-so-secret name). She
lives in Philadelphia with one full-time husband and several part-time cats.
Chantal Mer
Chantal Mer
is an author and optimist. Her stories explore relationships and what it means
to be family. When she’s not writing about strong women, strong men, and strong
love, she can be found walking her adorable dog, volunteering at her kids’
school (in the library, of course), teaching at the local university, and
reading.
Chantal lives outside of Philadelphia with her
husband, kids, Toffee the Wonder Dog, and vicious cat, Gracie.
Susan Scott Shelley
USA Today
bestselling author Susan Scott Shelley writes stories with heat and heart,
where love always wins. Her romances give readers lighthearted and emotionally
satisfying escapes into happily ever after. In addition to crafting stories,
she is also a professional voiceover artist and enjoys lending her voice to a
wide range of projects.
She lives in Philadelphia with her husband and
is an avid fan of her hometown sports teams. Her favorite things include
running (honestly, it's more like jogging), sports (especially hockey), hard
rock (but will listen to anything from heavy metal to show tunes), and writing
about people from all walks of life finding their special someone.
Lee Blair
Lee Blair
is a queer author from Oregon who writes low angst, funny, M/M contemporary
romance. She's constantly amused by the antics of her two ginger cats,
considers daydreaming about future trips to Scotland a part-time job, and is
obsessed with Schitt's Creek to an alarming degree.
Piper Malone
Piper
Malone is an award-winning author of sweet and sexy romance.
Dog lover. Reader. Foodie. Coffee, please.
A.D. Ellis
A.D. Ellis is an Indiana girl, born and raised.
She spends much of her time in central Indiana as a teacher in the inner city
of Indianapolis, being a mom to two amazing teens, and wondering how she and
her husband of nearly two decades haven't driven each other insane yet. A lot
of her time is also devoted to phone call avoidance and her hatred of cooking.
She loves chocolate, wine, pizza, and naps along
with reading and writing romance. These loves don't leave much time for
housework, much to the chagrin of her husband. Who would pick cleaning the
house over a nap or a good book? She uses any extra time to increase her
fluency in sarcasm.
A.D. uses she/they pronouns.
R.L. Merrill
Whether she’s writing contemporary romance
featuring quirky, queer, and relatable characters or diving deep into the
supernatural to give readers a shiver, R.L. Merrill loves creating compelling
stories that will stay with readers long after closing the book. Ro writes
inclusive romance for the Happily Ever After collective, contributes paranormal
hilarity to Robyn Peterman’s Magic and Mayhem Universe, and pens
horror-inspired tales and music reviews for HorrorAddicts.net. A mom, wife,
daughter, and former educator, you can find her rocking out in her Bronco with
Great Dane pup Velma, being terrorized by feline twins Dracula and
Frankenstein, or headbanging at a rock show near her home in the San Francisco
Bay Area! Stay Tuned for more…
Skylar M. Cates
Skylar M. Cates loves a good romance. She is
happy to drink coffee, curl up with a good book, and not move all day. Her
novels feature strong and passionate men. Skylar loves to craft stories where
realistic characters are challenged with emotional situations. Although lately
the laundry room is the farthest place she has visited, Skylar loves to chat
with folks from all around the globe.
Sophia Soames
Sophia Soames is a Scandinavian, UK based,
Author of contemporary MM romance. She writes stories of everyday people with
kids and families living real life fairytales.
4 stars
“Love is All, Vol. 7” is an anthology of m/m and f/f romance
novellas and short stories by Gabbi Grey, Xio Axelrod, et al. Each tale
artfully depicts the challenges of following one’s heart and the joys of
finding love.
Each story is set up with a unique twist, yet all celebrate
love. I lean more toward reading m/m rather than sapphic romance, but this
collection gave me a chance to read stories by several new-to-me authors, and I
appreciated the opportunity to expand my horizons. Even better, this is a
charitable endeavor to benefit transgender individuals.
I continue to be a fan of Gabbi Grey, and enjoyed her tale
of discovering something that’s been in front of you all of the time; I was
intrigued by R. L. Merrill’s exploration of the feminine archetypes as portrayed
by someone who is exploring such and finds more than she bargained for,
including whether you actually can go home again; and Piper Malone’s rebound vacation
romance tale was fun and I adored the secondary characters who styled Bram. All
of the stories were entertaining and easy to read and a delightful celebration
of love. I am happy to add new authors to my list of those to keep an eye out
for.
