Give Back

The KRW charity anthology

Every year our members write a themed collection together and give every dollar away. No buy-in, no catch, and no reason a debut author can't be in it alongside a USA Today bestseller.

2025 · Current Release

Spicy Wishes and Holiday Kisses

Holiday romance spanning Halloween through New Year's Eve — paranormal elements, small-town settings, and a spread of subgenres wide enough that no two stories feel alike.

Double Down on Love

Contemporary romance set across Kentucky and Indiana, built around gambling and risk — the bet you shouldn't take, and the person who makes you take it anyway.

Join in Time for the Next One

For the board: Cover images for both anthologies would transform this page — right now it's text where two book covers should be. If there's a 2026 theme, deadline, or charity chosen yet, send it and I'll add a "coming next" block at the top.
