Our Creators

  • Heather Medellin: Co-Founder-Author-Illustrator-Chaos Coordinator

    Heather is a mom of two wildly unique boys, a wife to the man of her dreams, and a firm believer that stories are best written with a little mud on your boots. Based in Oregon, she finds inspiration in nature, road trips through the forest, and off-roading adventures in her 4Runner.

    A social butterfly at heart, Heather is always ready with a joke, a coffee, or both. She’s also a cat mom to three feline personalities-two majestic purring machines, a fluffball Ragdoll, a sleek snowshoe, and one mischievous bed troll who only accepts admiration from a safe distance.

    Writing and creating these books has been a surprising and exciting dream come true. She’s excited to see where this journey leads. If her stories make you laugh, pause, or feel a little more seen, you’ve found the good stuff.

  • A.G. Vale: Co-Founder-Author-Illustrator-Dog Mom

    A.G. Vale (also writing as Anna Gale Vale) writes romantic fantasy and period-inspired romances for readers who crave longing, power, and slow-burn devotion. Her stories are rich with emotional tension, court intrigue, and relationships shaped by desire, duty, and betrayal—where love is never simple, and the cost of devotion is often everything.

    She is the author of To Burn for a Crown, available on Kindle and Audible, and Betrayal in Her Kiss, currently available on Kindle with the audiobook forthcoming. These novels reflect her signature style: simmering tension, strategic romance, and emotionally devastating arcs that linger long after the final page.

    Alongside her adult fiction, A.G. Vale is also developing a forthcoming children’s series inspired by garden magic, empathy, and the quiet power of care for the natural world. This upcoming fairy-themed collection blends gentle storytelling with whimsical imagery and meaningful lessons, expanding her creative worlds for younger readers.

    Across all her work, recurring themes include feminine power, patience as strength, loyalty tested by ambition, and the dangerous beauty of promises made in love. Whether set in candlelit courts or enchanted gardens, her stories center on characters who must choose between the world they were given and the one they are willing to fight for.

    When she isn’t writing, A.G. Vale is usually creating—illustrating, designing, or tending her own garden, which often inspires the symbolism and atmosphere woven throughout her stories. She believes deeply in the romance of growth: of people, of stories, and of becoming.

    What’s coming next includes new romantic fantasy and period romance projects, expanded worlds filled with courtly intrigue and slow-burn desire, future audiobooks, and the debut of her fairy-themed children’s series.

    Welcome to her worlds. Stay awhile.

  • Hazel Darling: Co-Founder-Author-Illustrator-Creator of Whimsy

    Hazel Darling is a multi-genre storyteller whose work ranges from enchanting woodland children’s books to emotionally layered novels and reflective pieces about finding beauty in life’s unfinished, imperfect moments.


    Best known for her whimsical, vintage-inspired storybook worlds, Hazel creates gentle tales filled with bonneted baby mice, brave little woodland friends, and slightly eccentric owls who keep watch beneath the moon. Her children’s stories are stitched together with warmth, wonder, and the quiet magic of belonging.


    Alongside her storybook universe, Hazel writes novels that explore love, memory, identity, and the fragile threads that connect us across time. She is also developing a reflective project centered on discovering grace in life’s cluttered kitchens, tired evenings, and beautifully imperfect days.


    Whether crafting moonlit forests or emotional turning points, Hazel’s stories invite readers to slow down, feel deeply, and find beauty where they least expect it.


    She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her family and a few very spoiled pets, always listening for the next story rustling in the trees.
