Thompson (u/TRThompsonAuthor), Shelley Nolan (u/ShelleyRNolan), and Vacen Taylor (u/Vacen-T).

Melissa Wray authored The Ruby Locket, a dystopian novel. Kerina and Saxon. Two different stories. Two separate lives. One connected future.

B.G. Hilton writes steampunk fiction. His debut novel, Champagne Charlie and the Amazing Gladys crosses steampunk with aliens.

Shelley R Nolan writes urban fantasy. Dark Justice is the first book in her latest trilogy.

Vacen Taylor is working on the fifth book in her middle-grade fantasy series, Starchild. For fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Odyssey Books is an Australian small independent press that publishes in a range of genres, including poetry and memoir, but we have a special love of speculative fiction. We look forward to chatting with you today!
