Zoe Chant = a group of authors

Zoe writers also write under these names: Lia Silver, Lauren Esker, Helen Keeble, Elva Birch, C.E. Murphy

How do you write so many books so fast?

I’m actually more than one person! “Zoe Chant” is a small group of friends (and professional authors) who bonded over our great love of all things shifter way back in 2014 or so. We collectively work on the books together, and have a ton of fun doing it.

(Remember the old Nancy Drew books? That was actually a group of authors too!)

By working as a team, we can satisfy our readers much more quickly than we could if we all wrote alone. Though we still can’t write fast enough to keep up with the power readers. Some of you people read A LOT (and we love you for it)

For the sake of convenience, online and in social media we refer to Zoe Chant as “I” rather than “we”. Otherwise we sound like the Queen of England (“We are most pleased to announce the release our latest book!”). Or just plain weird.

Hello. Can I add my name to the list. I'm Clayton Emery. The two ShadowWorld books - The Burning Goddess and City of Assassins - were written by me. The second book, Clock Strikes Sword, was written by Stephen Bilias. So we're ALL Ian Hammell. How do I note this?

List are a lot of work to upkeep and this one started in 2010 (15 years). Daffodil last updated in May 10, 2014, which 4 years... a bit of time. Daffodil has not been active since 2020. Going through from there I saw that Ezi put the other two authors I was thinking about (and several I didn't even know) so only had one that I could add.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Yeah, we just add ‘em as we see ‘em 😊
