The Literary Lawn Party Proudly welcomes Manda Collins!

Manda Collins grew up on a combination of Nancy Drew books and Jane Austen novels, and her own brand of Historical romantic suspense is the result. She is the author of twenty-one novels set in 19th century England published by St. Martin's Press and Forever. A former academic librarian, she holds advanced degrees in English Lit and Librarianship and uses what she learned in grad school to craft her novels. Her books have been reviewed in Entertainment Weekly, Library Journal, Booklist, Publisher's Weekly, Bookpage, and USA Today. When she's not writing she can be found watching true crime documentaries, playing word games, and knitting very inexpertly. A native of Mobile, she lives on the Gulf Coast with a very stubborn cat and more books than are strictly necessary. You can find her online at mandacollins.com and on Instagram and threads at

The Literary Lawn Party is proud to welcome Caylan MacRae

Caylan MacRae is an unprofessional vampire hunter (keeps kissing instead of killing them), expert beach rat, and cryptid enthusiast who won’t shut up about Mothman. They're obsessed with writing the kind of queer-horror books that their younger, angrier self wished they could've had—stories that at their core are about family both found and lost, sibling strife, and the messy, often cyclical nature of recovery from traumas past.

The Literary Lawn Party proudly welcomes Harry Miller!

Harry Miller is a native of Baltimore, a past sojourner in Asia, and a twenty-two year resident of Mobile, where he teaches Asian history at the University of South Alabama. He is the author of Southern Rain, a historical novel set in seventeenth-century China, and Meet Me at the RASCAL, an experimental Oulipo-generated satire, set in a near-future, dystopian, America, which caricatures every species of moral, social, and political decadence and is a lot of fun.
