Spotlight: Author and Artist K.T. Seto

K.T. Seto wallows in what if. She writes Speculative Fiction with a paranormal bent that ranges from fantasy, to science fiction and all things in between. Look for news of her work on social media @KatAboutThat on Instagram, @K.T._about on Twitter and K.T. Seto-Author on Facebook. Or just go to her website ktseto.com

KT is not only going to have stories in Volume one and three of Nightmare Whispers, but she assisted us with illustrations for Fae Dreams. She has been helping us with graphics for marketing of all three Nightmare Whispers volumes.

We have been blessed to work with K.T. before as she was also in our Through the Sunshine anthology.

Artist Spotlight : Z.L.A.

The reclusive ZLA remains in shadow during the day and ventures out at night to take long walks under the moon. ZLA’s favorite pastime is having tea parties and daydreaming (the most recent dream is to retreat to the coast with an army of cats). While currently working as a freelance writer and artist, ZLA creates colored pencil drawings—mostly in fantasy themed art of original characters–-and crafts in other mediums, and, when there is time, works on a novel length manuscript about a curious merman. This is the first time ZLA’s work is officially published. If you are looking for other art by ZLA check out the Etsy shop.

ZLA will be in all four volumes with Art.
