Authors Aurora Rey, Isabel Sterling, & Leigh Hays discuss writing sapphic romance. Book signing at the end of the event.

Aurora Rey is a college dean by day and a life coach and award-winning author of queer romance the rest of the time, except when she’s puttering in the kitchen, riding the tractor, or pining for goats. Her latest, Under Construction, features former high school rivals teaming up to renovate a historic building to open a books store. She lives near Ithaca, New York and is currently seeking a way to live off her side hustles.

Isabel Sterling writes stories about queer love and resilience with a witty magical twist. She is the author of several YA and adult novels, including: These Witches Don’t Burn, The Coldest Touch, and With All My Haunted Heart. Isabel is also a master certified life coach, the founder of The Confident Author Academy, and the host of The Author Burnout Cure podcast.

Leigh Hays writes sapphic love stories about women navigating family, career, and community. She likes to write complicated characters and makes them earn their joy. She lives and works in upstate New York with her wife, son, and their cats. They keep her pretty busy, but in her free time, she plays tabletop role playing games.
