About Picasso’s Motorcycle by Marc Sercomb
France, 1940.
An unexpected gift of an old motorcycle with a tragically romantic past hurls a young orphan into the thick of things as war breaks out and his life changes forever. Half-French/half-German Daniel must find a way to survive in a world that mercy seems to have abandoned. This book transports the reader to Nazi-occupied France, where Daniel unwittingly and unexpectedly finds himself working for the Resistance, and ultimately to the Russian Front in a twist of fate so startling that no one can see it coming. In turn quirky, heartwarming, beguiling and uncompromising, author Marc Sercomb weaves together many moods and colors to tell young Daniel’s story.
Beyond engaging, Picasso’s Motorcycle has been hailed as a genuine “page-turner” by those who have so far encountered it.

About the book:
In the small town of Cougar, struggling single mother and veterinary assistant Teresa Lansing is still bruised from a failed relationship when Frank McAllister sweeps her off her feet. Frank is a big-city SWAT officer who moved to Cougar only four months ago. He’s handsome, charming, forceful, very sexy, and a bit mysterious. He had his eye on Teresa even before they met and is pushing for a serious relationship right away. Teresa finds his intense courtship flattering, and the sex is fabulous, but she doesn’t want her deaf six-year-old son to be hurt again. Her former fiancé cheated on her when he got drunk after being unjustly fired, but he loves her and her son, and the whirlwind romance is complicated by his efforts to win Teresa back.
And then there’s the matter of the bodies buried at Big Devil Creek…

About Maggie Jamerson:
Hi! I'm Maggie Jamerson. I have been a teacher for 20+ years in public schools, inner city schools and private schools in the Memphis, TN area. I started my own tutoring business, Remarkable Readers, in June 2021. We are licensed teachers and guarantee our students will improve at least 4-6 months in reading or math in just 8 weeks. I am releasing my first book in July of 2024 called, Only Oliver. It's a tale of a boy who thinks he's alone in his reading struggles. But is that true? Drawing from my 20+ years as an educator, I recognized the necessity for a children’s book that narrates a child’s reading challenges and emotions from a classroom perspective. This book incorporates phonics, evidence-based teaching methods, and engaging activities to help children (and parents) grasp the significance and complexity of mastering reading in today's world.
What inspires you to write?
My students inspire me to write! I want to teach kids outside of my classroom walls and one way to that is to write a book.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Robert Frost
Katheryn Stockett
C.S. Lewis
E. B. White
Eric Carle
Brad Montague
Tell us about your writing process.
My passion is teaching! When a child understands the lesson you are teaching, that light bulb moment is everything to me. My writing process starts with something a child learns. I like to write by hand at first and put all of the details on paper. Then as I continue to think about the idea and develop a plot and characters. I move my notes to the computer and begin typing specifics. I am not an illustrator but I love to write the details of what I want the scene to look like, the race of the characters, the clothes each character wears and how the classroom is decorated. Editing and revising is the hardest part for me. I want to keep everything. I struggle to find what needs to be scrapped or reworded. I like to ask other people to read my rough draft and give me feedback early so I can take time to really think and develop my story to another level. Once the text is exactly the way I want it, then I hire an illustrator. We work together for the next 3-4 months developing the actual book page by page. As changes are made and finalized, then the illustrator sends me the correct files I need to print and post on social media. Setting the release date and promoting pre-orders are my last steps.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I don't talk to my characters but I create the dialogue by using what some of my students actually say and how students talk to each other.
What advice would you give other writers?
Don't assume your readers know! The more details and description you add to your writing, the better it will be.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I worked with an author coach from At Home Author. Since I already had a business, it was better for me to self publish, however, I would not have known to do that without At Home Author. They have helped me step by step.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I love that it is getting easier to self publish. I think we can really encourage kids to write and publish their writing in ways we could have never done 20 yrs. ago. I am also very concerned about books being published by AI. I want to know human thoughts and emotions when I read. I hope there will be legislation in the works to keep writing authentic.
What genres do you write?: Children

About Yurie Kiri:
Yurie Kiri, born in a trailer in rural America, studied Mathematics and languages and speaks Japanese, English, French and has also studied Chinese, Arabic and Spanish as well as a smattering of other languages such as Korean and Russian along with binary, octal and hexadecimal machine language because if you really want to get to know someone you need to speak their language no matter if they’re machine or human. Yurie lived and worked in Asia for decades before coming back to America where Yurie went on an extensive backroad journey across the US and Canada from the rough Mexican border towns to the icy cold town of Yellowknife in Canada’s NWT where you need to cross a frozen lake to get into town in the winter. Yurie also sailed (single-handed) from Mexico to the Canadian border, retracing a well-traveled road journey by sea in a small, live aboard sailboat. Yurie has been traveling and gathering story ideas from Asia for the Game Series which covers Japan and other Asian countries and North America for the Murder and Mystery Series which covers the American Southwest.
What inspires you to write?
My first book or rather the first book I planned to publish; Tokyo Games was written as a kind of revenge story about the people who unjustly kicked me out of a good job. So instead of moping around feeling sorry for myself I used my new, free time to construct a good story about their destruction. I changed everyone's name as well as some of the circumstances but that book (like all of my books) are full of real people, people I know and new people I've just met.
I mix those real life stories with fiction however… for example in Tokyo Games, after witnessing their friend, Melinda being murdered by a leading politician, Hanako talks Keith into swapping bodies with her. Hanako, a brilliant scientist developed the technology that enabled her to get into Keith's body, so that she'd be big and strong enough to defeat her enemies… Keith must then learn how to deal with all aspects of feminine life including sex with the man he used to be…
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
JRR Tolkien who wrote the "Rings" books is one of my favorites. I loved the stories and the fact that he invented every aspect of the stories including the several different languages used by the various groups of characters.
I'm reading "Fairy Tale" by Stephen King and I'm sure that I'm not the only one with that book on the pile. However like other Stephen King books, I'm halfway through and I may not finish it. Stephen King is like one of my other favorite authors, Mick Herron who tortures then kills off the characters I like. I've killed off a few characters in my books too but I can always bring them back as ghosts or spirit guides or even as new born babies however, Mick didn't give himself those options as far as I can tell. But, anything goes in a Stephen King book which is good in a bad way at times. I sometimes worry that my characters are getting into some kind of nasty spot or even sexual or gender trouble but then I think, "what would Stephen do?" and that worry goes away because anything goes in a Stephen King book… and as long as I don't stoop too low like Stephen does in my opinion, it's okay.
Tell us about your writing process.
I next wrote Moonlight Beach, but please don’t think that this strange story about a series of murders, organ donors, witchcraft and sex sprang from my feverish brain all on its own. I have a good imagination, but it’s not that good. The truth is, one night a few years back, I was sitting in Bolero’s, a Rancho California, patio-style Mexican Restaurant, nursing a margarita and waiting for an expensive Carne Asada taco plate when two women came in and sat down at a nearby outdoor table.
I don’t usually eavesdrop on other people’s conversations, but it was a slow night at Bolero’s and something about these women grabbed my attention and made me turn my head slightly so that I could hear them better. I think that the part of the women’s conversation that really made me sit up went something like this, “You were a close friend of hers, weren’t you? Tell me how she really died. No one deserved to be killed like what I heard…”
As you can imagine, I took my time with my food and margarita, all the while straining to hear and remember exactly what they said. Like I often do, I took a few notes on napkins and scraps of paper as discretely as possible. However, the women decided to move on, before the story was finished, since one of them had promised to meet another friend at Jake’s by the beach. I sadly watched them go but finished up and paid my bill as quickly as possible then I arranged my notes and filled in some of the blanks with what I could best remember.
After that I went to Jake’s looking for them but sadly I never found them again. The story that they told was not finished, however they had given me enough facts that I was able to fill in some of the remaining holes after some research. Although the story was based upon the overheard conversation plus my research, it also contains assumptions that I’ve been forced to make. In some areas, the truth has been well covered up. As one of the women said that night, “You can’t believe how much money was paid to keep the details out of the local news…”
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I live and work with my characters so of course I listen to and talk to them! I've read and re-read my own stories over and over, probably close to a hundred times and think about them (my characters) all the time like they're real people… when I get inspired to make a change it's a meaningful change but then I'm weird…
What advice would you give other writers?
Listen, read and write… and be your own best editor.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
After writing my first book, Tokyo Games I queried 100s of agents and gave it to friends to read one of whom gave it to a certain big newspaper. The newspaper guy hated it however – "too much sex," he said. "Why are your characters having sex all the time?" But that wasn't true! It felt like he hadn't read it at all. And that criticism made me sad, disappointed and rejected. So I wrote Moonlight Beach, with even more interesting sexual situations. I still got 100s of agent rejections but instead of just giving up I posted the books on Amazon using their Kindle direct publishing app as well as entered several book festivals.
Moonlight Beach won (1st place) in the 2020 Hollywood Book Festival’s award for Genre Fiction and 3rd place in the Paranormal category for 2021 Incipere Awards. Moonlight Beach is about four friends who contact the spirit of a dead Native American woman and have to fight for their lives against the serial killer who had been chasing her.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I see more ebooks and self-publishing. I still buy print books but I'd rather read an ebook on my phone while tucked in bed or listen to an audible edition. Print books are too heavy and hard to read in dim light… while ebooks and audio books are so much more accessible.
What genres do you write?: paranormal mystery, shamanism, witchcraft and bisexual fiction. Science fiction, Post-Apocalyptic fiction.
What formats are your books in?: eBook, Print, Both eBook and Print, Audiobook

About Wesley Lowe:
Wesley Lowe’s first book is a fantasy novel entitled: "The Griffin's Gauntlet.” After numerous rejections from mainstream publishing houses, his work was picked up by Helm Publishing, a small independent publisher. Now he independently publishes his own books.
He has recently completed a six book fantasy series entitled: “The Necromancer Wars,” which features witches as persecuted heroes rather than of wicked villains.
What inspires you to write?
Books, movies, and music. All three have presented wonderful stories in the fantasy fiction genre that inspired me to write fantastical tales of my own.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
My favorite authors are JRR Tolkien (of course), Terry Broods, and George RR Martin. All three have inspired me to write the same type of fantastic tales that they have.
Tell us about your writing process.
I am not an outliner. Tried it. Didn't work for me. I write better when I am in front of my laptop with a cool beverage, uplifting music playing on my mobile phone, and a rampant imagination ready to be set free.
I try to write at least one page a day. That guarantees steady progress.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I neither listen nor talk to my characters. I expect them to do exactly what I tell them to do. And on the frequent occasions when they do not, they are severely punished!
What advice would you give other writers?
Write at least a page a day. And let your imagination run wild!
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I had attempted the traditional publishing route, leading to a mountain of rejections. I had no luck obtaining an agent either. I threw in with an independent publisher, from which I had learned the ropes, and harsh realities, of the publishing industry. When it closed shop after a dozen years, I became an independent publisher of my own works, and I never looked back.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
Hardcopy books will always be available, but as electronic versions become more prevalent, as they already are, they will be fewer and fewer in number.
What genres do you write?: Fantasy Fiction.
What formats are your books in?: Both eBook and Print, Audiobook

About Tom Norton:
It's a rare opportunity to meet such a brilliant storyteller who is also very silly. Tom Norton is the author of the hilarious sci-fi novel PINK EYE.
Some of the praise for Pink Eye, "So weird, but so fun," "So many twists and LOLs," and simply, "LMFAO!"
Tom lives in a tiny house with his beautiful family and their little cat, which experiments on him daily.
By night, He writes like a madman. He’s performed stand-up, worked as a journalist and made short films – some were nominated for awards, but sadly no wins. Don’t worry, Tom’s so silly he’ll keep trying.
By day, Tom is a TV editor and the co-host of a fun STEM podcast, where he jokes with big-brained professors.
It's called…BIG QUESTIONS from SMALL MINDS
What inspires you to write?
For me, it's all about the reader. If I can make readers laugh and love my characters, then I feel like I've won the lottery.
My day job is a TV editor, so I really want my novels to seem like movies in the reader's head – you know, fast-paced, extremely visual, and emotionally immersed in another world. I use all the tricks of screen editing to do this. And when a reader says they felt like this, it's the best.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Oh Geez, there are so many. Growing up I was lucky because I come from a long line of librarians: My grandmother was a librarian, my mum is a retired one and my sister is one. So I was exposed to lots of different books. I'll love anything from Virginia Woolf to John Scalzi. But I've always been drawn to funny books.
So here are a few of my favourite funny books.
Obviously – HitchHiker's Guide by Douglas Adams
The Murder Bot Diaries – Martha Wells
Good Omens -Gaiman and Pratchett
Nettle & Bone – T Kingfisher (+ What Moves the Dead)
Vernon God Little – PD Piere
Trainspotting – Irvine Welsh
Catch 22 – Joseph Heller
Rant – Chuck Palanuk
Tell us about your writing process.
So, I'm a super planner. Crazily, I find it 'almost' as enjoyable as the writing. It doesn't matter if the story is a sci-fi or a crime caper, first I'll start with the themes.
For Pink Eye, I had lots of topical social ideas I wanted to skewer with satire. Pink Eye is a sci-fi comedy about first contact and an alien invasion – so satirically, I was thinking of people's opinions of refugees. Slow government responses compared to the hyper-speed of social media. And all the ridiculous cultural differences we'd have. There's more, but I don't want to give it away. But having those themes in the front of my mind, before outlining the plot, the characters, and etc, really helps cement a strong outline and concept.
Then I'll begin writing and in seconds, I've gone off the plan.
My hands are typing like a madman. I'm loving what I'm writing, but it's a completely different direction. And my rational brain is screaming, "What the hell are you doing? Stick to the plan."
"To hell with the plan," I'll say, hitting the keyboard.
Obviously, I do use the plan, but not as much as my rational brain would like.
So at the end of each chapter, I'll compare how far I've veered off and make appropriate adjustments. I still want to reach the ending, but I want to take a less obvious path.
Because for me, the adventure has to feel natural, yet exciting and unexpected. If I think a twist is too obvious, then I'll push the story harder.
I want my writing process to be as fun as possible. Because when I'm loving and laughing unexpectedly at my characters, I know my readers will be too.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Hell yes. My kids laugh at me cos I'm chatting with them. Sometimes I'll argue with them too. And not just in front of the computer, it might be while making a cup of tea or driving the car. but I try not to do it out loud in public.
But more often, I'll be impersonating my characters' voices, speaking them out loud to understand their inflection and tone. I want to whittle and hone each character's voice so they sound authentic.
I also love meeting new people because they come with a whole bag of new phrases and expressions. I love hearing these because it's as if these people have some new candy I haven't tried. So naturally, I'll snatch their bag the moment they're not looking.
What advice would you give other writers?
Love what you write and love your own company. You're going to spend a lot of time working by yourself so you might as well enjoy it.
And because writing is a solo thing, make friends with other writers, help each other, give each other feedback, and spend time laughing with them away from the keyboard.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
Well, it was a no-brainer for my first novel Pink Eye.
As most of us know, the doors to traditional publishing are pretty much closed to anyone who's not a nepo-baby or hasn't previously published a novel. But like any new writer, I thought it would be different for me.
So, with my novel in hand, I approached the castle gates of traditional publishing. On the drawbridge, a guard yelled, "No unsolicited books shall pass." Then, they opened fire, shooting me with bot-made rejection letters. As I ran for cover, I decided self-publishing was really the only option.
Obviously, traditional publishers want to lower their risk by backing writers who have a bigger social media standing, established readers, or a famous name.
So, I'm happily self-published, chatting with new readers, and hoping they'll leave honest reviews.
Don't worry, I will breach those castle gates. And soon!
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
This is a great question.
The way I see it, the publishing industry is currently being shaken up – the way the music industry was in the early 2000s (now replaced with Spotify and etc), and like the TV and Film industries have been (traditional networks are being replaced with Netflix and etc).
Both those industries have had a revolution – the old elite has been removed and replaced with a brand-new elite. One that is just as much gatekeepers as the last.
So yeah, publishing is changing and this doesn't mean it'll be any better for writers, but what you can be sure of is – it'll be great for readers!
Writers will still have gatekeepers and hurdles to jump. We just don't know who or what they'll be.

About Tim Wright:
My name is Tim Wright. I am the co-host, along with Dr. Michael Gurian, of The Wonder of Parenting Podcast: A Brain-Science Approach to Parenting. I grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota but have lived in Glendale (Phoenix), Arizona since 1984. My wife, Jan, and I have been married since 1979. We have two adult children, five grandchildren, and two dachshunds. I enjoy traveling, riding my recumbent bike, Disneyland, reading, especially Fantasy Adventures and British Mysteries, and being a grandpa. I am also a long-suffering fan of the Minnesota Vikings and the Arizona Cardinals, having watched my two teams lose a combined 5 Super Bowls.
What inspires you to write?
I've enjoyed writing since I was a kid. In third grade I wrote a play for our school competition called, John and the Ogre. It took first place and we were able to perform it for the whole school. As I got older and became a pastor, I discovered a love for words and using them creatively to capture the imaginations of my listeners and readers.
I've always wanted to write a fantasy adventure. Once I had grandkids, I decided it was time to get at it. I was inspired in part by my work with Dr. Michael Gurian around rites of passage. I took my love of fantasy adventures and combined it with the story-telling power of rites of passage, added in large doses of humor, and wrote book 1 in what will be a 7 book series: The Adventures of Toby Baxter.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Rick Riordan, J.K. Rowling (and her alter ego–Robert Galbraith), Louise Penny, Ann Cleeves…
Tell us about your writing process.
For this series, I basically start each book with a theme and a jumping off point, and then see where the story takes me. From time to time I'll stop, go back to the beginning, and review what I've written so far to make sure the story makes sense. Then it's off to the end. Usually the big ending of the story doesn't come until I get there.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I don't talk to them, but I do go over their stories and upcoming stories in my mind as I'm out riding my bike.
I try to visualize the setting and characters and put what I see on paper (or on the computer screen).
What advice would you give other writers?
Writers have heard this one: Write what you know. It has served me well. That means, in part, researching what you need to know along with writing out of the substance of your soul and experience. Edit, edit, edit the story until it hums. And read a lot! That helps with writing.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I don't have the time to do all of the publishing stuff on my own so I used a self-publishing company to create the cover, set up the book on Amazon and other sites, market the book, etc. Not cheap. But it was the only way I was going to get it out there.
There are many good courses out that help writers publish and market without investing in a company or publisher. I've found them helpful in tweaking what I'm doing but again, for me it's all about time.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I decided to "release" the third book in my series on Substack in serialized form–two chapters a week. It had a consistent readership over the months I did it. How that will translate into sales remains to be seen. I have a friend trying something similar.

About Susan Frances:
I was born in a small village in Surrey, England.
I wrote stories from an early age and still have some of them from when I was 7 years old and the spellings are lovely!
I continued writing until exams and college took over.
As a child my summer holidays were always spent in Devon and I was fascinated by my grandfather’s tales about our Devon family roots.
Years later, I began to research the family history and many documents and files later, I wondered what to do with all the data I had accumulated. There was a situation in 1840 that made me think – Why did she do that? Did she do it? I could write a book about that! So began The Chiddleigh Saga.
I moved to Devon and lived in the village which formed the setting for No One Must Know, Book 1 of The Chiddleigh Saga.
I now live on the Devon coast and enjoy walking with my husband, Bill, and our dog, Monty.
What inspires you to write?
The kick of knowing people enjoy reading my books as much as I love writing them. You can't please everyone but I love to get feedback so I can improve on the next book.
The Chiddleigh Saga began as an account of my family history. I quickly realised that just because something happened it doesn't necessarily make a good read! Also, starting the story in medieval England, I didn't have enough information to write a book! So, I create stories loosely around my research and develop characters to bring my ideas alive.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Ken Follett – the king of historical fiction. A reviewer for Book 1, No One Must Know, put me a close second to him. My most treasured praise.
Tell us about your writing process.
I'm a planner. I write pages of notes, story plans, timelines and character sketches using pen and paper. As these take shape I use spreadsheets and Word tables to make sense of it all.
As I write the first draft, additional plots and twists pop into my head and some characters may change their manner. I sometimes wonder if the characters dictate what they do!
So I am a mix of both a planner and a write-as-you -go type of author.
I now have two PC screens which makes life a lot easier.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
All the time! By the time my book is in the final editing stage, if I met them in the street I wouldn't be surprised!
What advice would you give other writers?
Writing is hard word and very personal. It's not easy to have others criticise it but if I have learned one thing it is to have faith in your writing but listen to others – your beta reader and editor are seeing this as a reader will see it. You may not initially agree with them, but take time to consider what they are saying.
There are times when I think, this is rubbish and sometimes it is. That's the time to press the delete button. But keep going and write what you want to write. Some characters are easier to write than others, so make your main characters ones you enjoy writing because it shows.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I spent hours and hours researching possible agents and agonised over endless query letters, all to no avail.
I write for pleasure, not to make money or a name for myself (although it would be nice!) and after many months, maybe even a year, I decided to self-publish.
It can be a lot of work but there is a lot of help out there and my second book was easy because I knew what I was doing.
First decision: paperback or just e-book?
I publish both because I prefer to hold a book and see it on my shelf, but it is the e-books that sell. As a self-publisher it is almost impossible to get your printed books into shops.
Use a professional cover designer and don't be afraid to go abroad – my designer is Latvian.
Use a professional editor. It may seem like a huge expense but it makes the difference between amateur and a polished finish.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I think Indie books is a growing trend and, given support, will hold their own against the big publishing houses. But to do this, the Indie industry and writers now, have to be professional.
As a reader I think there is a lot of Indie talent out there, some of which are better than published authors, but to make our mark, we must keep up the professional standard.
What genres do you write?: Historical fiction

About Sarah Alserhaid:
My name is Sarah Alserhaid, debunking reality and challenging norms is what I do every day. As a biochemist by trade and a lifelong storyteller by nature, working in innovative scientific research gives me an eclectic way of viewing the world and all of its hidden mysteries and possibilities.
What inspires you to write?
I love how writing is a way to regulate one's irregular thoughts and put hectic chaos into perspective. Even the act of journaling is therapeutic which I see as a diamond in the rough. The stories I write usually have a subtle lesson to be learned but through an unexpected shift in perspective.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
It’s hard to choose a single author when there are so many compelling and creative writers. I enjoyed works of art from Alice Hoffman, Adrienne Young, Alix Arrow, Agatha Christie, Holly Black, and Lisa Scottoline. Recently, I like mystery, thriller and low fantasy books, but will take on any good book.
Tell us about your writing process.
Once upon a time, I was a writer who went with the flow. In the process of writing my book, I came across the method of outlining one's book and it was a huge paradigm shift.
For my book, I used Microsoft Word to write and outline since that is my comfort zone but for the sequel I will switch to Scivenger.
I have also looked into and researched the Save the Cat method and while I don't fully use it in my writing, the premise is something I incorporate.
I also like to practice well-established authors' techniques and skills to improve my writing. I admit there is no one way to write, but seeing what works for others helps me see what might work for me and what definitely does not.
Writing for me is a continuous learn curve.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I most certainly DO talk to my characters! When receiving feedback for my book and questions from my editor and beta readers, I find myself talking on their behalf. Even if the story I am talking about is a short story about two wolves, I still discuss them as though they are real talking wolves that enjoying teasing one another.
What advice would you give other writers?
There are many different methods and techniques to writing or being creative in general. My advice would be to try them out and find what works best for you and your individual way of working.
You may have to try on a thousand pairs of shoes, but once you find the one that fits comfortably, you'll go far.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I'm a scientist with an active imagination. For so long, I thought of publishing the stories I daydream of but was held back by one reason or another.
In 2022, I decided to give it my best effort and accept the results. No more what ifs, no more how could it be different. Contentment is a gift that has no value and I am grateful that I have accepted this challenge.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
When I first started out learning about publishing, I was shocked to learn that the industry has seen a huge shift. From print on demand services to AI generated content and audio, the winds of change are among us. Adaptation is the hallmark of successful individuals and I think book publishing is adapting to these changes.

About Rachael Clarke:
Rachael Clarke (R.A. Clarke) is an author/illustrator living in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. When not writing, she's enjoying family time, acting in community theatre, or relaxing at the lake. Her multi-genre fiction has won international competitions such as the Write Fighters 3-Day Novella Challenge, The Writer's Workout's 'Writer’s Games', the Writers Weekly 24-Hour Contest, and Red Penguin Books’ Humour Contest. She was a 2021 Futurescapes Award finalist, a 2022 Dark Sire Awards finalist, and her children’s book The Big Ol’ Bike was a Hindi’s Libraries finalist in 2021. Her debut sci-fi novel Race to Novus released in April, 2024.
What inspires you to write?
There are a lot of things that inspire me to write… like reading awesome books, seeing incredible movies (sci-fi has a special place in my heart), or the exciting, scary, wondrous, or bizarre things I’ve experienced that simply must get shared. I’d say my kids are the biggest aspect of why I am driven to write, as I want to produce books that will resonate with them—and maybe even make them proud of their ol’ mom. Writing also provides healing and escapism. I say this because I proudly worked as a police officer. However, after ten years and a CPTSD diagnosis, I had to give up that career. I shifted focus, became a stay-at-home-mom, and then, since I’d been creative since childhood, I opted to pursue my old writing and illustrating passions. Having an outlet to help cope with fallout from trauma has been invaluable, and I can’t see myself ever not writing now.
As for what inspired me to write my debut sci-fi western novel Race to Novus, it was my lifelong love of horses that started it all really. Years back, I entered a prompted short story writing contest and I was given a world building theme. I knew I wanted to write about a horse. So, I started thinking of what horses might be like in the future, or how they might change, and from that, my loveable bionic Friesian horse with a mood ring ocular implant (named Herc) was born. Then the story, characters, and technology all evolved from that starting point. For fun, here’s the book blurb.
Joining a rag-tag alliance, a disgraced and debt-ridden daughter enters her bionic horse in a nebulous race at the edge of explored space. The prize: free land and a fresh start. However, as suspicions mount, enemies and allies rise, and vicious creatures spawn from an alien jungle infused with inexplicable magic, her race turns into one of survival. For the vibe, I always tell folks to think of Hidalgo X Avatar X Aliens X Firefly.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
That’s such an interesting question. I don’t speak to them or hear them speaking to me specifically. Rather, I am aware of and feel them as more of an extension of myself. They’re so vivid to me, and as I write, I can see through their eyes—feel whatever they feel as their conversations and actions play out like a movie in my mind.
Tell us about your writing process.
I am a plotter when it comes to my long form writing, as I need the structure to help me keep on track and not forget important character or world building details. That said, I allow for flexibility—nothing is set in stone and sometimes the story needs to change. I’ll start with outlining, writing a solid body of text containing the entire plot, and then tweak and rework it until I’m happy with it. After that, letting it sit to percolate for a while is beneficial, as ideas and delayed clarity come after the fact sometimes. I then break it up into rough chapters and start writing the novel. I’ll make timelines if needed, as well as in-depth profiles of my characters as I go along. As for my short stories, I fly by the seat of my pants a lot more. I’ll have a much looser idea of where I’m headed, having only a basic overview concept and an ending in mind.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?

They’re so vivid to me, and as I write, I can see through their eyes—feel whatever they feel as their conversations and actions play out like a movie in my mind.
What advice would you give other writers?
It’s tough being a writer sometimes. It’s no secret there’s plenty of rejection for folks pursuing creative ventures, whether art, music, writing, or something else. My advice is simply not to give up. Take healthy breaks as needed, but if you have a passion for writing, keep at it. Don’t let the imposter inside of you say you're not good enough. Be the one to write your own incredible story and make it a good one.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
Funny enough, I kind of stumbled into self-publishing. I’d been planning to go the traditional path, but in 2020 I won a writing contest, which also included a free publishing package. Through that I put out my first book, The Big Ol’ Bike, a heartwarming children's chapter book about finding confidence in the face of bullying. However, after having illustrated it, edited it, pre-formatted it with images, and designed the entire cover myself, I realized I didn’t really need anyone else's help to put a book out. I also preferred the idea of having full control over publishing decisions, design, and pricing. So, I researched and learned anything I might need to, then created my teeny indie press (www.pageturnpress.com) as a home for my self-published work, with a future goal to expand into themed anthologies. Self publishing isn’t easy—it’s a lot of work—but it’s a route that made sense for me. I’ve put out a variety of books now, and released my first ever multi-author themed anthology Spread: Tales of Deadly Flora in late 2023.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
There will always be stories to write and people to write/publish them. I don’t think that will ever change. All I can hope is that the true creators in this world maintain their place at the forefront of the industry. I’d hate to see the convenience of AI win out in the literary world eventually as it advances. Writing a good book with fresh ideas takes incredible innovation, dedication, imagination, passion, and skill. No trained AI can replicate that perfect storm of qualities, and such exceptionalism should never be undermined.
What genres do you write?: I write sci-fi, fantasy, and horror mostly, gravitating most often to sci-fi with my long form projects. I also have a soft spot for humour and romance, and often sneak hints of both into my work. As a huge fan of genre mashing in general, it’s no shock I penned Race to Novus (which released in April, 2024), because it’s a sci-fi western thrill ride, with elements of fantasy and hints of both humour and romance.

About Peggi Davis:
Hello! I am Peggi Davis, 77 years old, a widow, and living my best life this very minute. I was raised in New York City by an eccentric British father and sometime-model mother, in an untethered, unusual home filled with fashion, formality, and a few friendly ghosts. After graduating from Texas A&M University, I entered the wacky world of retail advertising as a fashion art director and creative director. This painfully shy and quiet young girl was introduced to a world she never knew existed. There, I developed a cadre of creative colleagues with whom I shared decades of outrageous experiences and escapades. My career took me all over the country, from New York to San Francisco as I worked for Macy’s, Saks Department Stores, and AGA Design, New York. I settled in Birmingham, Alabama, which I love. Cool restaurants, warm biscuits, and gentle people. There is something to be said for Southern hospitality. Plus it is beautiful and smells of magnolias, an assault on the senses. My little piece of paradise.
After retirement in 2014, I opened The Schoolhouse Art Studio and began teaching collage, jewelry making, and painting. However, the pandemic forced its closing, and I turned my focus from art to writing during my masked hibernation at home. It was the silver lining.
What inspires you to write?
For years, my colleagues said I should write a book about my childhood and adult experiences. During the pandemic, I began posting stories about my family on Facebook. Before long I began receiving messages from people all over the country asking for more. I later enrolled in a writing class and was encouraged to create a blog. My first book “Funny Face: a Memoir” consists of hilarious and horrifying stories from that blog. My recent book "Rewind Ranch" was inspired by my reader reponses. The chapter that resonated most with the readers was an essay on aging, something we face with little information and no guidance. No one prepares you for feeling one way on the inside and looking another way on the outside. I began wondering What if we could change that narrative? How would the ability to look and feel young again present itself and how? I challenged myself to write about the possibilities, and “Rewind Ranch” was born.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Growing up I was a voracious reader. I still am. It is impossible to state my favorite authors as I have so very many. I will say I am inspired by Anne Lamott, Augusten Burroughs, Jeanette Walls, and Joan Didion. What they have in common is their transparency, honesty, and courage.
Tell us about your writing process.
I am a seat-of-my-pants writer. I start with an idea and then a title. The designer in me then designs the book cover, which somehow makes the project real to me. Then I begin crafting my story. My first book “Funny Face: a Memoir” consists of hilarious and horrifying stories from that blog. It was one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life as those stories flowed from my fingertips and seemed to literally write themselves. I had found my voice. The second book wasn't as easy since the content was imagined not experienced. But once I developed the characters, they took over and wrote it for me. Now readers want a sequel to know what happened to them after they left the ranch!
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I listen to my characters, not talk to them. They seem to direct my process of writing the story. It becomes apparent at some point what they would do in a situation, not what I would do. It is a very strange but exciting process.
What advice would you give other writers?
I have often heard the saying, “It’s a journey, not a destination” And that is what I would say to new authors. Most of you are not going to get rich or be interviewed on NPR or CBS Sunday Morning. Chances are you will never be mentioned in the New York Times book section or hounded by Hollywood producers. Write because you have something to say. Write because you absolutely love it. Write because it feeds your soul like nothing else. Just write
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I am the most unlikely author. Sometimes I look at my printed books in total disbelief. My writing has given me a sense of accomplishment and pride. I know I won’t be accepting the Pulitzer Prize anytime soon, but to see my books on a shelf next to Joan Didion makes me feel like I have left a mark on our crazy world. It’s like saying, I am here.I have self published and hybrid published, but prefer the self publishing route to date. I had more conrol over the finished product and found the hybrid perks almost non existent.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
The digital age is a certainty, and I fear the end of printed books, libraries and corner bookstores. What a loss that would be! My best guess is we will be doing all phases of book production from home.
What genres do you write?: memoir, humor, contemporary women's fiction, thriller and suspense

Tell us about your writing process.
I'm a pantser by nature and my fiction writing often has a mind of its own and writes itself. With nonfiction, I am a bit more of a planner of the bones but then, the pantser will take over within those plans. Finding Scrivener has made it so much easier to write down all my random thoughts and not lose them. Oh, and a wet notepad in the shower is a must! It's where all my ideas kick in.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
My characters talk through me. As an intuitive pantser I have an idea and then the story takes off and I follow it. Most of the time it happily surprises me where the narrative leads. It's a little challenging when the unlikeable characters talks through me, but I can get out of the way enough to write what comes and what I see and then shake them off later.
What advice would you give other writers?
Your voice and your way of weaving stories is unique. No one experiences things the way you do. Less is more so it is important to be concise. Write from your viewpoint and always get a good editor and proofreader before you consider submitting anything for publishing.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
Because my books are linked to my business, I have always wanted full control and copyright of my books under the umbrella of self-publishing. I always look to employ small business people for my needs be that editing, visuals, printing, etc. I think it's important that we support other creatives trying to make a living. For new authors, Reedsy is a great place to start with. Lots of helpful and experienced folk doing lots of good things. You can put up jobs, learn a lot and target editors, proofers etc.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
To be honest. AI worries me. We creatives are not copies. We are originals.

For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Sometimes
What advice would you give other writers?
Don't wait until you get the genius idea. Put it on paper, or computer and work it out sometimes. At the end, it comes to a story that somebody will like it. Don't expect to please everybody but please to yourself first
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I tried for a while to find a agent. Didin't work because I am not a knowned writer. A friend told me about self-editing process. I found people who were interested in my story and can give it some space
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
Many people have ideas about something they want to write. Today, with all the tools we have, there is no reason to avoid it because we don't have the knowledge for it. Corretion tools like Grammaly and translator as DeepL can brings your ideas into a great book

What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
My all-time favorite book is Shibumi, written by the mysterious thriller writer Trevanian.
My Scifi genre master would be Heinlin, and especially "Time Enough for Love"
Tell us about your writing process.
I am a slow writer. Maybe because I HATE editing, so I make sure every sentence is as close to the final puzzle piece as possible before committing to it
I can, however, write everywhere. Car passenger seats. Coffee shops. Airport terminals. wherever. I slap on my noise-cancelling headphones, switch on an ambient music playlist, and I 'm good to go!
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
As a screenwriter by trade and education – I do envision each character in detail, including their speaking style, glitches and intentions.
Maybe this is why people always tell me they'd imagine my works on the screen really easily.
What advice would you give other writers?
If, as you are grinding in front of your screen writing, you find yourself laughing, irritated, amazed and sad with your characters – you've already won. Make sure this harsh occupation is fulfilling for YOU first!
How did you decide how to publish your books?
For me, having 20+ years of experience in media and marketing, the publishing and marketing side of the trade is not intimidating and so I had the luxury of plotting my own plan to market.
My main consideration was getting "Generations" read by as many people as possible. My goal was to get the story out. So all my decisions stemmed from this original goal.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
There will always be a need for professional curation. In a world of an exponentially increasing number of works published (not only literary works, also movies, podcasts, songs etc.) – you will always need someone to guide you to what's good, new, hot and worth your time.
It used to be book publishers, music labels, hollywood studios. But more and more such "trusted parties" are emerging from the ground up – youtube, twitter, tiktok, instagram, blogs etc.

About Neil Vickers:
Born in the late fifties, went to school in Derby England, mainly midstream education. It was a lack of concentration that made me lose my place at the top grammar school, the exams went disastrously wrong. It was never a good thing asking me to concentrate, my mind would always be somewhere else, thinking all the time about other things. Being at school was a secondary chore in place of a primary, although I was always marked good for turning in every day. I had little absences from school but juggled time between school and play. I was a bit arty and crafts at school was a subject I enjoyed, my teacher more or less begged me to go to art school as he said I was his best student in years but the lure of a city and guilds apprenticeship in plumbing and heating with wages outweighed the other of five years at art school with no incentive beyond that.
Nature was what I enjoyed when I was younger and all the books I read would have been linked to birds or animals. My early days would be spent walking in the countryside with my friends to see nature thriving around us. I still enjoy going out and getting as close to nature as I can.
I was busy after my apprenticeship finished whilst I tried to start my own business as a self-employed plumber installing central heating systems. I eventually moved into building work, a fairly natural progression into property and creating a portfolio of property rentals.
I started to write manuscripts on different subjects without publishing any of the unfinished work due to my workload that I had created, and time was not a luxury I could afford. I had not read novels as I was more interested in nature and I was fascinated by nature and its diversity. I would watch programs on animals, the ocean and its inhabitants, birds of all kinds from the biggest hawks and vultures down to the smallest hummingbirds. Reptiles were always something that I enjoyed reading about and the environments they lived in.
I spent the last thirty years building new houses and large care homes for the elderly and running the day-to-day administration of caring for the elderly residents. I started writing books again with a view to publishing them after the pandemic (Covid), it had given me a new lease of life to start writing again but this time not to just write a manuscript but to write it and publish it.
I seem to have been born with a gift of a creative mind and photographic memory, the books I write just seem to flow out my head as I am writing them. I seem to be able to write in any genre including fiction of course. I consider myself lucky as I have never read any fiction books. I find I do not affiliate my writing with any other author and do not mimic the style of any. I do my best to make a book exciting to read and entertaining for the reader.
I have two books currently in the worldwide market True Love Unlimited and True Love Unlimited The Conclusion. The latest book True Love Unlimited The Conclusion has won the gold prize for its genre Romance, Action, Thriller and I thank Chick Lit Café for giving me the first prize for my book.
I have just completed my new sci-fi book The Sixth Dimension Defined and will be published. We aim to release the new book for sale early July 2024.
What inspires you to write?
I just fancied writing an action, romance, thriller. I never set off with any intentions or expected my books to do so well, that was more of a dream.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
I do not have a favourite author as most of the books I have read were at university. I have not read a novel.
Tell us about your writing process.
I write long hand, I was bought up with long hand and I do not use a computer. My long hand is then typed up in the office into a typed manuscript. The writing comes from within myself and straight out of my head
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
No the characters are already in my head so what they have to say just pops into my head.
What advice would you give other writers?
To think about their novels fully before they start writing.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I decided to self publish because I was in more control of the book and I was not signing away the copy rights to a publisher.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I think with artificial intelligents coming in, more people will be writing books using this means creating books that do not have a heart and soul.
What genres do you write?: Action, Romance Thriller and Sci-Fi
What formats are your books in?: Both eBook and Print

About Nathan Ogloff:
Nathan was born in New Westminster, British Columbia and has had a fascination with story ever since he
wrote a couple of pages to a time-travel book when he was in third-grade.
He believes we live in an interesting time that seems to be on the knife's edge between a spectacular
future or an abysmal landscape of decay. Through his stories that force us to take a deeper look at
ourselves, he aims to foster a world of mutual understanding.
Although not the most qualified guy to fix the world's problems, his writing just might give
those-that-are an idea of how to do it. When he's not writing, Nathan spends his time adding to his
ever increasing heavy-metal Spotify playlist and creating spaceships in Lego Studio.
What inspires you to write?
I had a story to tell, and no one would tell it but me. I'm the type of person who when I have an awesome idea, I have a burning desire to show it to people. Knowing that I can blow people away and potentially alter their life is definitely what drives me forward.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Dan Simmons, Larry Niven, Philip K Dick, Isaac Asimov, Michael Crichton, Frank Herbert, Arthur C Clarke, JRR Tolkien
Tell us about your writing process.
Everything is on my computer. I found out early on I was a plotter. I outlined my whole 2nd novel before I even started it. I have a document where I jot down notes. I also have map reference images that help me with figuring out the distance and travel time between regions.
I tend to organize everything to make it manageable. I also disconnect my internet when I write.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I write them as I see them in my head. So I guess that means listening?
What advice would you give other writers?
Be careful who you take advice from. Everyone has an opinion, but unless they are an author themself, or an agent, editor, or publisher, you should take their advice with a grain of salt.
As for the journey, it's been a long process of figuring out what not to do, and building a list of what to avoid.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I tried finding an agent for over a year with no success. Last July, I decided to self-publish. It was a rollercoaster ride, but I figured it out.
I think new authors should consider self-publishing. The internet has put all the resources on our doorstep. If that seems like too much, at least consider smaller presses. They may not have the reach of the big 5, but because they have less clients, they tend to be able to help you more.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I've heard mixed things. Older authors say it's not like the way it used to be and it's harder now. Others praise the time we live in saying that the previous statement has always been uttered. They usually state the access to people and information the internet has given us. I agree.
Overall, AI has changed the game, but it's nothing we can't deal with. I think the biggest change is the shift away from traditional and the rise of indie authors.

About Michelle M. Pillow:
Michelle M. Pillow is a prolific NY Times & USA TODAY bestselling author with over a million books sold. Though she writes in many genres, she is best known for romance and mystery. Her rich world building creates portals for the imagination. She is a winner of the RT Reviewers' Choice Award. Fan favorites include the Qurilixen World (a multi-series collection) and Warlocks MacGregor series. She loves to interact with readers. Visit her at MichellePillow.com.
What inspires you to write?
Writing has always been a passion of mine. The world around me is a constant source of inspiration. Personal experiences, travels, and even the simplest observations can spark an idea. I’ve always been fascinated by the supernatural and the extraordinary, and exploring these themes through my characters and stories keeps me endlessly motivated. Creating intricate, magical worlds and delving into the complexities of human emotions is a driving force behind my writing. It's the possibility of transporting readers to these fantastical realms that truly inspires me.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Some of my favorite authors include J.R.R. Tolkien, Anne Rice, Jane Austen, and John Steinbeck. Tolkien’s ability to create immersive worlds, Rice’s intricate character development, Austen’s wit and social commentary, and Steinbeck’s exploration of human nature have all profoundly influenced my writing style. These authors have shown me the power of storytelling and the impact a well-crafted narrative can have on readers.
Tell us about your writing process.
My writing process is a blend of structure and spontaneity. I’m an outliner, but I like to leave room for creativity. I use a combination of loose outlines, notebooks, and Post-it notes to keep track of my ideas and plot points. My husband and I often have brainstorming sessions where we talk through the storyline, helping to refine it. I also create character sketches during the writing process to develop their backgrounds and personalities deeply. This helps me ensure that each character is well-rounded and authentic. Writing anywhere and everywhere, except my actual office, keeps the process dynamic and engaging.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Absolutely! My characters often feel like real people to me, and I find myself listening to them and their stories. They can be quite insistent, taking on lives of their own and guiding the narrative in unexpected directions. This dynamic interaction with my characters allows me to explore their motivations and emotions more deeply, leading to more authentic and compelling stories.
What advice would you give other writers?
The most important advice I can give to other writers is to believe in yourself and your unique voice. Write consistently, and don’t be afraid to revise and improve your work. The journey of writing and publishing can be challenging, but persistence and passion are essential. Surround yourself with supportive people who believe in your vision. Study the craft of writing and read extensively to broaden your perspective. And most importantly, keep writing—every story you tell will make you a better writer.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I’ve explored both traditional publishing and self-publishing, each with its own set of advantages. I started with traditional publishing, which provided valuable experience and industry insights. Later, I embraced self-publishing for the creative control and flexibility it offered. My advice to new authors is to research both options thoroughly. Traditional publishing can offer credibility (in some eyes) and a support network, while self-publishing allows for more control over the creative process. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your personal goals and preferences.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
The future of book publishing is exciting and dynamic. The rise of digital platforms and self-publishing has democratized the industry, allowing more voices to be heard. Readers now have more choices than ever, and authors have new ways to reach their audience. While traditional publishing will continue to play a significant role, the flexibility and accessibility of self-publishing will likely drive more innovation and creativity. I believe we’ll see a continued blending of the two models, offering the best of both worlds to authors and readers alike.
What genres do you write?: Urban Fantasy, Paranormal, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Mystery, Romance

About Martin Sneider:
MARTIN SNEIDER has been a leader in the shoe and clothing industries for more than five decades. Since 1992, he has served as an award-winning adjunct professor at Washington University’s Olin School of Business, where he created and taught a course devoted to luxury goods merchandising and marketing that included trips with students to Milan, Paris, and London to visit the showrooms of Armani, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Burberry, and Cartier. A fourth-generation retailer, Sneider started as a shoe salesman and rose to president, chief merchant, and co-CEO of one of the nation’s largest fashion and shoe apparel specialty chains. He served on the Alumni Board of Directors of Harvard Business School, was chairman of St. Louis Children’s Hospital, and received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Washington University. In addition to his acclaimed debut novel, Shelf Life, and it sequel, Amy Unbound, he is the author of a nonfiction book on the shoe industry. He has two children and four granddaughters and lives in St. Louis, Missouri, and New York City.
What inspires you to write?
I first wrote a non-fiction autobiography entitled Toast: From Toast of the Town to Just Plain Toast shortly after retiring as CEO of a major retailer. My motivation stemmed from a desire to share my experiences, successes and failures with the public. It was a cathartic experience. The joy I derived from writing the book and its positive reception by readers encouraged me to begin writing the five-book saga of the Feldman Family, beginning with Shelf Life and followed by Amy Unbound.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Ann Patchett, Elizabeth Strout, Richard Ford, John Updike and Edith Wharton
Tell us about your writing process.
I start each novel with an outline which identifies story line, plot, and characters. (I confess that the final version of the book bears little resemblance to the original outline as the writing process stimulates new ideas and characters and story lines.) The emerging novel becomes a force which stimulates my imagination and challenges me to create fresh story lines, tensions and drama and an exciting and satisfying conclusion.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
My characters come to life for me. I often go to sleep thinking of them and trying to imagine what actions and thoughts they will experience. I use the note pad on my night table to scribble nocturnal thoughts. I discard some and use some. But while writing one of the novels, I find myself projecting myself into the characters. What would Josh do? Amy think? Allie contrive? I constantly scribble notes on dog-eared legal pads.
What advice would you give other writers?
START WRITING and see where it takes you. As noted earlier, you will often find that the budding novel becomes a force which drives your imagination and takes you down paths you never imagined. One mechanical tip. NEVER finish a writing session at the end of a chapter. Facing a blank page the next morning is daunting, but leaving a chapter or dialogue almost finished, gives you a head start the next morning.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
Even though getting an establishment publishing house to publish the first novel by an unknown author was a long shot, I first went down that path to no avail. I looked into self-publishing, but I lacked the expertise to intelligently sub-contract critical elements of the publishing process. Fortunately, I was introduced to a writing professional who could guide me through the process.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
Traditional book publishing had been turned upside down since the creation of Amazon and Barnes&Noble.com which has produced super successful authors (see Google). I would imagine that the proportion of books that are self-published far outweighs the proportion that are produced by the establishment publishers. That is encouraging to a new author, but presents its own daunting challenges such as I faced.

About Marten Hoyle:
The Marten Hoyle Project (the initials of which stand for Mental Health Problems) is the name assigned to a Literary Endeavor based in the psychological setting of the Eglantine Home for the Poetically Unsound in Mettray, USA. The Project is held anonymously by the Voice of a being known as Vate C. Carmen.
Hoyle suffers from the disease, schizophrenia but considers the Voice of “Vate C. Carmen” (a genderless hallucination which has been with him since earliest childhood) to be the source of his creative output.
Born on April 15th, 1988, in Spokane, Washington, Hoyle began writing at the age of six. He began writing poetry regularly at the age of fourteen when he discovered both the Holy Sonnets of John Donne and the musical achievements of Pink Floyd.
Hoyle has been consistent in his output of prose and poetical works for nearly thirty years. His first professional publication was an epic poetry trilogy titled Symphoniya de Toska that was released from Wheelsong Books in 2023, and later that same year his first novel, Voces Animarum was published by I Ain’t Your Marionette Press.
Consisting primarily of written works, The Marten Hoyle Project produces visual as well as musical media to accompany the compositional endeavors, which Hoyle considers to be “Literary Symphonies.” Voces Animarum is the first book in a series of such “symphonic literary movements” titled Filii der Bedlam, all of which are scheduled for future release from I Ain’t Your Marionette Press.
Known themes in the Literary Endeavor of “Marten Hoyle” include melancholy, suicidal ideation, death, loneliness, isolation, philosophical theory on the subjective nature of reality, and insanity. The works of Marten Hoyle have been compared to those of such literary giants as Edgar Allan Poe, Leo Tolstoy, H.P. Lovecraft, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Franz Kafka, and William Shakespeare.
What inspires you to write?
I hear a voice in my head, which (among the voices of my schizophrenia) has a name and personification in photo/videographic form. This voice calls itself, "Vate C. Carmen" and tells me what to write.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, Charles Baudelaire, Leo Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Shakespeare, Dickens, Dickinson…the list goes on and on really.
Tell us about your writing process.
I write what "Vate" comes up with. We never outline anything, we simply create as we go. There is only ever one draft. I never compose more than one draft because I do not want to relive the events which inspire the singular manuscript. All of my publications were first drafts, and were accepted by the first place(s) I sent them to. So, don't think for a moment that it cannot be done.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
No. Listening to "Vate" makes me feel insane enough as it is.
What advice would you give other writers?
I do not have any advice for other writers, and as a writer continues to mature and advance with their skill, they will understand why.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I really do not have a straightforward answer to that. I was approached for the first three books, and the novel, Voces Animarum (along with the other six books that comprise its series) found representation about a month after I wrote it at the first place to which I sent it. I will emphasize again that I never, ever write more than one draft.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I tend to not think much about it.
What genres do you write?: fiction, horror, poetry, psychological thriller, LGBTQIA

About M.L. Banks:
M.L. Banks is a writer and a teacher who lives in Ontario, Canada. She wrote a book in her early twenties, which, thankfully, never saw the light of day. After that she became a philosopher, went to law school, and eventually settled into teaching students why Aristotle is interesting and relevant no matter what topic you might be discussing. She loves the way you can explore philosophical questions in science fiction and fantasy. She is the author of The Curse of Starfall, which is her first fantasy fiction book.
What inspires you to write?
I got into reading at an early age. Fantasy, science fiction and mystery stories could capture my imagination and I would feel transported into the story within their pages. I love the feeling of getting so immersed in a story that I lose track of time, and what was supposed to be just finishing a chapter leads to reading until 3 am in the morning! Writing feels the same to me. I get lost in the world of my characters and a whole day can pass without my notice.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
This is a hard question, and the answer is always changing. At the moment I would say Brandon Sanderson, Martha Wells, T Kingfisher, Elise Kova and always Peter S. Beagle (for “The Last Unicorn” – one of my favourite books.)
Tell us about your writing process.
I spend a few days creating an outline for the novel so that I have an idea of where the story might go. However, as soon as I start writing, the story usually shifts, and I end up creating new outlines as I go along. I aim to write the first draft as quickly as possible, and then spend most of my time fixing that draft. A lot of my writing inspiration seems to come when I’m doing other things, especially walking around listening to podcasts. So, I have made this part of my writing routine.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Absolutely. The characters are real to me, and in the process of writing I feel as if I am simply learning more about them. There have been moments where a character has acted in a way that surprised me!
What advice would you give other writers?
There is a lot of writing advice out there, and it is all worth listening to. But at the end of the day you will find your own way to write, and you need to honour that. Listen to everyone, take what works, ignore the rest. It’s all about finding what works for you.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I tried to publish in the early 2000s and went through the process of trying to publish traditionally. It did not go well. Twenty years later I met a wonderful author who self-publishes and this changed everything for me. I love self-publishing. I love that the readers decide which books they like, rather than only certain books being able to get through to agents and publishing houses. I love that more people are writing and more books exist.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I’m curious to see what happens! What seems clear is that there is a demand for stories, and every year more people are reading. It’s exciting to see how accessible self-publishing has made being an author.

About Lori J:
I was born in Vancouver and raised in Crescent Beach(White Rock) in the lower mainland of BC, Canada.
At the ripe old age of 19 I headed overseas to the U.K. There I met my husband, came back to BC and got married.
Within a year (1980) and baby in hand (8 months old) and 6 months pregnant (got pregnant on the pill, it happened twice), we moved to Auckland, New Zealand where husband was from. I went on to have a few more children, five in total. My third child, a beautiful boy passed at 6 months old from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. I also homeschooled the four children for five years.
When the children got older, I opened a preschool. After a good 5 years, I wanted to get myself a diploma (at 50 years old) in Early Childhood Education. In study I was taught to write short stories of the learning I saw the children learning through their play and with friends. I loved to put photos of the children and pictures they drew and painted for the illustrations. After every school year, each child would be presented with a large, full, scrap book of their learning journey at the preschool. (What fun!!!).
That is where I developed the love of writing.
In 2017 it was time to come home (without husband, oh happy days) after spending over half of my lifetime in NZ.
What inspires you to write?
The world around me inspires me. My adventures inspire me. My grandchildren inspire me. Nature itself inspires me.
I love watching my grandchildren runny and playing with the cute little squirrels we have here in Canada.
New Zealand do not have squirrels.
I fell in love with the squirrels all over again when I got back home. My children and grandchildren fell in love with the squirrels and all of the other wildlife we have wandering around where we live.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
I love reading self help books:
Jordan B. Peterson, Allen W. Watts, Christiane Northrup, MD. to name some.
I love fantasy:
J.R.R. Tolkien…
Tell us about your writing process.
OMG!!! If I knew what was instore…I do not know if I would of started the journey…
Writing the story was the easy part… And after a lot of encouragement from my family (as they thought my stories were book material) I stepped out with a lot of fear and trembling. It took me a couple of years to pluck up enough courage to take the first step.
Firstly I went to look for someone to publish my stories, Google is sooo helpful!!! After finding a publishing Co., I was then assigned an editor to help me put each sentence and paragraph into sensible reading, that took half the year.
I then had to pick out an Illustrator. My editor made it easy as I had four illustrators to choose from.
For another four to six months we worked on getting each page looking exactly like the picture of the story I have in my minds eye.
It took a lot of hard work, lots of tears and good advise to get to the finished results.
I believe the good team I have at the publishing Co. made my books come to fruition.
I am so proud of myself….
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I tell Squeak that he is cute and funny… I wonder what a squirrel thinks sometimes…lol.
I also listen to the children and watch their facial expressions and how they talk with each other and to the squirrels that are engaging with..
What advice would you give other writers?
My advice is to be ready for hard work, long hours writing a paragraph over and over again till it is perfect. Do not settle for second best, oh no.. head for perfection all the way.
Be ready for a huge learning curve (as I was not computer literate) and lots of mistakes. Keep plodding along.
How does one eat an elephant….by one bite at a time. This is one of my mottos I live by.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I looked online for a publisher close to me, which is on Vancouver Island. I need all the professional help I can get. I figured a publishing Co. could help me see my books through to the end. I am not confident enough to do the journey as a self-publisher. I am glad I didn't, as their wealth of information and contacts as immense.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I am not sure about the future of paperback books. I find myself picking up a book before going to my kindle or computer to read. I love the feel and smell of freshly inked paper of a new book. I love the old books I have read on my book self as they are tattered and well read.
What genres do you write?: Fiction, infants and young children

About L.R. Maley:
Life walks us through many roles, mine have included: automotive designer, engineer, inventor, and entrepreneur. My pen name is L.R. Maley, and my current venture in life is as the author of the fantasy series, "The Chronicles of the Manaar."
Born and raised in Metro Detroit (USA, Michigan). I lived a childhood immersed in imaginative play and storytelling. My passion for Tolkien's works and the discovery of fantasy role-playing games as a teenager completed my journey to what is commonly referred to as nerd-dom.
My goal as a writer is two-fold. Firstly, I want to entertain. I want to create the type of story I love to read myself and share it with like-minded folk. Secondly, I would like to create a legacy that will ensure my daughter's future. My beautiful baby girl is autistic. So perhaps, if I can hit on that one story that people love to read, I can ensure her future.
What inspires you to write?
In one word, language. To hear an eloquent phrase or inspiring dialogue. It is the vocabulary that great writers weave throughout imaginative stories. Authors like Mark Twain and JRR Tolkien use words like the colors on a painting. It is magical to me.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Tolkien, Twain, and Rowling probably have inspired me the most.
But I do have some favorite contemporary authors that I enjoy shutting down and listening to on Audible; Scott Meyer (Magic 2.0), Lary Correia (Monster Hunters International) Drew Hayes (Super Powereds) Barry J Hutchison (Space Team) and Robert Kroesse (Starship Grifters) to name just a few
Tell us about your writing process.
I learned to write in high school and college by using outlines. It worked well for me, in school that is. I started Immersion as an outline to the Nth degree. I was almost halfway through when my protagonists found themselves just ahead of an emerging battle. The outline said, they run and escape. My character's said, "we can help!" So, I found myself writing them into the battle, almost I was a spectator as they led me through their world. I stopped writing for a moment, realized what had happened. I set myself to the task of deleting the digression and returning the story to the outline. It was a surreal experience for me. I changed my mind and my entire process at that moment. I became more of a free-form writer. I let the characters lead instead of making them conform to a plan. From then on I planned by scene in place of outline. I named the scene, bullet-pointed the things I wanted to get out of it and let it just happen in my head as I wrote. It was liberating.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
When I played Dungeons and Dragons as a kid, I was more of a story game master as opposed to numbers and dice man. What I mean is, I set the situation and let my players go through the world freely. They often left the stage, and I learned to respond to their changes in plans… making up stuff beyond my original storyline along the way. It made for some really fun sessions. I find that when I am writing, it is the same. The characters just seem to find their way through, I am just setting the scenes and acting on behalf of the background characters. So, no, I do not believe that I "talk" to them directly… But I do interact with them through proxies.
What advice would you give other writers?
Just write what you love and don't stop. Just keep writing. This is probably cliche, but it is a fundamental truth. You get better with experience.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
My first attempt at putting out a book was in the 90's. The process back then was tedious and disappointing. It was akin to buying easy-pick lottery tickets and hoping. I turned to the many how-to self-publishing how-to books. I just wanted to make my writing available figuring that once I had some books to sell, I could put all my attention into promoting. Still a work in progress, but any Indy author will agree… the business aspect of self-publishing sucks the life out of writing time
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
Frankly, I am afraid. We are on the brink of AI replacing people as the imaginators and creators. I feel my emergence as an author is ill-timed

About Kristin A. Fulton:
Kristin attributes her desire to write to an early fascination for reading. “When I was a child, my mother read to us every night before bed. That was the original inspiration for my love of the written and spoken word. When I could read on my own, my favorite pastime was to get lost in the imaginary world of whatever book I checked out of the library. The same love of words resulted in several years spent as an actress before I had to get a ‘real’ job.”
Kristin taught high school English and Drama. She earned her BA in Liberal Arts with an emphasis in Drama, her teaching Credential at the University of San Francisco, and studied for a Masters in Theater Arts at U. C. Davis.
“I have an active imagination and have notebooks full of stories and plot ideas I’ve collected over the years,” says Fulton. “I would tell young writers to write every time they get the chance, to keep journals, and to observe people and life. I’d also tell them to reread everything they write because an important part of writing is to be a good editor.”
What inspires you to write?
My imagination and active brain inspires me to write. My love of reading and words as a child were instrumental in guiding my decision to write.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Roald Dahl is one. I adored the Bronte sisters when I was a teen. John Irving had some marvelous plots and Barbara Kingsolver's early books were great. I could keep going. There are multiple authors who have influenced my love of literature.
Tell us about your writing process.
I prefer to make a master timeline of events. My timeline is always flexible; I often add or subtract story events and elements as the story develops and starts to speak on its own. Often, characters will assert themselves in a different way than expected.
I use paper and pencil for my beginning work so that I can erase as needed.
I let characters evolve as the scenes in the book progress.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I think deeply about my characters and what motivates them. Sometimes, I project myself into the character in order to better respond in his or her voice.
Sometimes, I can really dislike a character. For instance, I couldn't bear Phineas Snipe, a villainous bounty hunter in the novel Sisters of the Soul. I've also had characters who've made me cry. The loss of Nolan McDonald in Sisters of the Soul made me weep buckets.
What advice would you give other writers?
Rewrite, rewrite, rewrite and EDIT YOUR WORK! And then re-edit it. Cut the stuff that is superfluous. Less is more in many cases. Show, don't tell.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I am too impatient and too unknown to wait in suspense for a "real" publishing company to accept and publish my work. I listened to lots of input on the subject and decided to establish Broadway Pacific Press to publish and list my own titles.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
Reading is terribly important. Literary types have to do what we can to promote literacy. Hopefully, book publishing will flourish, whether it is with smaller, independent publishers along with the big publishing houses. Unfortunately, more and more promotion and marketing work will be required of authors.
Another factor impacting reading is the prevalence of devices that supplant reading with games and endless scrolling. We all need to work together to promote the activities that expand the brain instead of limit it to what is on the screen.
What genres do you write?: Historical Fiction, Literary Fiction, Children's middle grade adventures, High interest novels for tweens, Picture books, Theatrical plays.

About Kate Darroch:
Kate Darroch lives on the picturesque Devon coastline, where she combines her passion for cozy sleuths and her experiences of life as it’s lived in many countries to create compelling Travel Cozies.
Màiri Maguire, a Scots Irish teacher from 1970s Glasgow, heroine of Kate's debut novel, “Death in Paris”, has earned many international book awards, including Readers Favorite Gold Medal for Humor, consolidating her reputation as a notable author. Kate hopes that her readers will enjoy Màiri's adventures as much as she enjoys Father Brown, Sherlock Holmes, and that old, old movie, the Perils of Pauline.
Next, Kate created Huntingdon Hart, a dry, witty, prescient, multi-millionaire, tongue-in-cheek cross between James Bond and Sherlock Holmes, who's in love with a much older woman.
Kate's most recent work is the Christian Second Chance for Lasting Love series, Sweets By the Sea, a saga of Recovery and Redemption which her readers say is even sweeter than Màiri's adventures.
What inspires you to write?
I wrote my first book when I was 13. I get story ideas whether I put them on paper or not. I can't imagine not writing. What inspires me to keep on publishing my writing is the many beautiful emails my readers send me. I may not be making any money, but I'm making some people very happy. That's worth the world to me.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Oscar Wilde because he's so wonderfully witty. Wolfe Tone, an Irish revolutionary who wrote the most heart-tearing articles, was sentenced to death for his leading part in the 1798 insurrection, and gave an incredible Speech from the Dock "…and does your lordship dare accuse me of shedding innocent blood, when if all the innocent blood shed during your unhallowed reign were collected in one vast reservoir, your lordship might swim in it!" is just one tiny part; Charles Dickens, who needs no introduction; Robert Heinlein, who wrote the first "strong woman" characters in science fiction, at a time when almost every science fiction female was constructed from cardboard; Connie Willis, all of whose stories I love, whose "Even the Queen" deals forthrightly with THE women's issue; Georgette Heyer, for her exquisite Regency dialogue; G K Chesterton, not just his Father Brown stories, but almost everything he wrote, he was a real trail-blazer; and Jane Austen.
Tell us about your writing process.
I always outline every chapter on paper, but I frequently depart from my outline when doing the actual writing because my characters live lives of their own, wild and free. I have 20+ Beta readers and I listen to what they are kind enough to share with me. I self-edit; I edit through Marlowe; I come back and self-edit a second time. Then I put out an advance copy, and I listen to what reviewers tell me. I send my book to typo-hunters, and then I send it to formatters, and then I get a proof copy. And guess what? I've never read a proof copy that didn't have typos in it, despite the care which I lavish on my 6 earlier stages of typo-seeking.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
My characters are real people to me. Yes, I construct characters in the sense that I choose the storyline, and only a certain kind of person can live in that story, but once they are living in the story, my characters often change a lot. They live their own lives. So I change the story to fit who the characters really are, and how they react independently to the story world I've placed them in. For example, I did not create my first heroine's Granny, whom my readers adore. Màiri was preparing to host a Halloween party, and Granny just appeared, with plenty to say for herself and a whole bag of tricks to play.
What advice would you give other writers?
Churchill said it first, "Never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, give up!" Recognise that more than 90% of writers can't earn enough by writing to pay their bills, that most of us need to take a day-job in order to eat – and whether you're doomed to be in that 90% doesn't have much to do with your writing ability – it's usually a matter of luck, good or bad. Some who can't write for toffee apples make millions, and some whose writing craft is superb never make sixpence. Keep slogging away, and keep the faith no matter how cold and empty the world feels to you. And think about self-publishing, it's a respectable way to get your work out there nowadays, and a self-published novel could even net you a traditional publisher! Soon after I self-published my first book I was approached by a Big Five talent hunter who had read it. I stayed Indie, but if you want a trad publisher, self-publishing could be one way to find your match.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I'm not young anymore, and my health is very poor. I decided that I couldn't face the lengthy process of getting a book to market the traditional way, which typically takes 3 years and for a first novel can take as long as 7 years. In the 24 months since I first self-published, 12 of my novels & short stories have appeared under the banner Ad Astra Press, and 6 stories have been published in third party anthologies. I would have been very lucky to get even one story traditionally published in that timescale.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
More books are being published now, year on year, and at higher prices, than ever before in the history of publishing. Readers are spoilt for choice. For me, it's getting harder to find books I like, but for the publishing industry, and for most readers, it's all good news. I cannot see that changing.
What genres do you write?: Cozies, detective duos, heists and capers, sagas of redemption and recovery, thrillers, time travel and space opera.

About Josiah Akhtab:
I write. I workout. I make Youtube videos. I play Basketball. I meditate. I journal. I read either Fantasy or Philosophy. Oh, and did I forget to mention that I have characters in my head that demand to come out? That daydreaming about a story is more entertaining than writing it? But hey, if I don't write the story who will, right? So yeah, give the stories a read and let me know what you think. . .brutal honesty welcomed!
What inspires you to write?
Mainly great TV shows or animes. Sometimes a good book will inspire me to come up with a character and a story to tell.
What originally inspired me was Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan with intricate world-building and mesmerizing storytelling.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Stephen King would be number one followed by Pierce Brown, Leigh Bardugo, V.E. Schwab, and Tom Elliot
Tell us about your writing process.
I'm more of a on-the-fly writer (or pantster as some authors call it). I prefer to let the ideas come as they will and I will flesh them out in the realm of imagination until they have enough substance to come to life on the blank canvas known as paper.
I don't use any outlines or things to that nature, just good ole imagination work with a side of daydreaming.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I sometimes act out my characters but mostly they come as voices in my head and pivotal scenes that capture the essence of the impending story.
If a certain scene plays out a number of times, or a character keeps recurring, then I know it is someone worth writing about.
What advice would you give other writers?
I would tell other authors to market yourself as well as your books. People want to know who you are as well and are more invested when they know who is responsible for creating the characters they come to love.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I've tried both traditional and self publishing. Traditional often requires too much money just to print the book where self-publishing makes that free and allows you more creative control when it comes to designing your book and marketing it as well.
I would advise authors to self-publish and learn about the industry itself. Self-publishing is a great way for you to take your life into your own hands and determine your own value as a writer.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I think more authors will go the self-publishing route as Amazon has made it possible for authors to make their way without having to wait on agencies to accept their work.
Talent is also in abundance amongst the common folk so I think there will be an explosion of independent authors with big names.
What genres do you write?: Fantasy & Science Fiction

About Joel Shoemaker:
Joel Shoemaker has been a librarian for a decade and a magician for three! He lives in central Illinois with his husband, a frog, a colony of cherry shrimp, and his dog, Maximus. He consumes an inordinate amount of cheese.
What inspires you to write?
I wanted to write books for people like me, that is, gay people of faith. A central theme of many successful LGBTQIA+ books that I had read all said the same thing regarding faith, and that was that they couldn't have both. Gratefully though, affirming faith communities are on the rise and I am trying to write work that shows that you can be who you were created to be and worship the creator BECAUSE of it, if you so choose.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
My favorite author is Chuck Palahniuk! I also adore Chelsea Cain, who happens to be my writing teacher.
Tell us about your writing process.
I don't really have a process. I've just written a lot of nonsense for fun and tried to give it the necessary message when I felt one was warranted. Otherwise, I'm happy with nonsense.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I self-published bacon grief because I had been repeatedly told it was too short. That's probably true, but I wrote it for reluctant tween and teen readers and I'm proud of the unique formatting and length. I'm happy that Silas on Sundays is with an independent publisher and feel like they did a WONDERFUL job with the illustrations which is something I could have never done on my own.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I have no idea! I think books are always going to be such an important lifeline for people and fiction a wonderful escape. So, the future is bright, in my opinion! Very bright!
What genres do you write?: LGBTQIA+ picture book, YA and short story collection for adults

About James Miller:
James Miller began writing poetry as an undergraduate in the English department at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. After receiving his Bachelor of Arts in creative writing, James continued to New York University where he received his Master of Fine Arts in poetry. After graduating, he began teaching creative writing and composition at the college level. Since then, his poetry has been published widely both at home in the States and abroad. His first book of poetry, Shell Songs, was published in 2018. James is also a singer-songwriter, and much of his music can be heard at jamesmillerarts.com. As with all things, he owes a great deal of gratitude to his father and brother for their love and support.
What inspires you to write?
I believe that beauty cleanses the mind, and I often find that my brain needs a good washing. So, when I write, I try let my mind and soul connect with beauty so to give me new life. From this search for beauty, my faith is born, and with it the love that I hope gives life to my poetry. Beauty, faith, and love are the source that inspires me to write. It is these three ingredients which form the foundation of my soul and art.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
My favorite poets are John Keats, William Wordsworth, and Shakespeare. I am very drawn to the Romantic era as far as poetry goes. I believe that the appreciation of nature often leads us to becoming connected to the eternal. I like to think my poetry draws from this inspiration. Nature and its eternal spirit run throughout my poetry.
Tell us about your writing process.
I usually begin writing because I am overcome by a feeling. Art comes from the subconscious, and in that respect, there is always a mystery as to what gives birth to a poem. I really just become completely focused on the poem to the point where nothing else exists outside of the poem. It is like entering a deep prayer which I repeat until the poem is finished. It is a very spiritual experience.
What advice would you give other writers?
I don't really have any advice to give. I just hope they love what they do. I mean for me writing is a very spiritual experience. It brings me closer to God. It many ways it is an act of faith. But each writer has their own reason for writing. As I said, I just hope they love what they do.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
My best friend works in the field of book production and design layouts. In this case, it was very easy for me to self-publish Walkways. I got to do it my way, and I didn't have to wait a year to see my book in print.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I don't have a view on this topic. I think it is great when a poet can see their poems in print. It is a blessing. I hope all poets can see their poems in a book.
What genres do you write?: Poetry
What formats are your books in?: Print

About J M Samland:
J M Samland is a fantasy author based in Canton, MI, USA. He is passionate about creating vivid worlds and compelling characters that transport readers to new realms of imagination. Drawing inspiration from his love of storytelling, Jamie spends his free time playing board games, roleplaying with friends, and indulging in other hobbies like martial arts and home repair. When he is not writing, Jamie is often found lost in thought, dreaming up new and exciting stories to share with readers alongside his husband and their cats.
What inspires you to write?
My inspiration for writing is drawn from a blend of immersive video games, captivating fantasy books and shows, and my own journey in martial arts. Video games, with their intricate worlds and complex narratives, offer me a canvas of imagination where I envision my characters navigating through challenges and adventures. Fantasy literature and television whisk me away into realms of magic and myth, where the impossible becomes tangible, fueling my desire to create my own universes that readers can lose themselves in.
Similarly, practicing martial arts has been a profound influence on my writing. It's not just the physical aspect but the mental discipline, the stories of perseverance, and the rich history behind each technique that weave into the fabric of my characters' development and the conflicts they face. The resilience and dedication I've learned through taekwondo mirror the journey of a writer — both require patience, discipline, and a deep-seated passion for the craft. This unique combination of influences allows me to blend elements of action, fantasy, and personal growth into my narratives, creating stories that I hope resonate deeply with my readers and leave them yearning for more.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
My list of favorite authors is topped by Stephen King, Brandon Sanderson, and James Rollins, each for their unique contributions to the fabric of literature and their influence on my own writing journey. Stephen King's unparalleled mastery of storytelling and his ability to blend the ordinary with the supernatural has always fascinated me. His works remind me of the power of character-driven narratives and the importance of connecting with readers on an emotional level.
Brandon Sanderson's intricate world-building and magic systems are nothing short of inspirational. His ability to create expansive, yet thoroughly detailed universes, filled with complex characters and moral dilemmas, has significantly influenced how I approach my own fantasy worlds.
James Rollins combines historical mysteries with scientific intrigue in a way that captivates me every time. His seamless integration of fact with fiction and the pace at which his plots unfold keep me glued to the pages, teaching me the value of research and pacing in storytelling.
Together, these authors have shaped my perspective on writing and storytelling, encouraging me to explore the depths of imagination while staying grounded in the emotions and experiences that resonate with readers.
Tell us about your writing process.
My approach to writing varies significantly between my novels and shorter stories, reflecting the depth and complexity of the narrative I aim to construct. For my novels, I adopt a meticulously planned approach. I spend a considerable amount of time in the preparatory phase, fully developing the themes, plot, and characters before I even pen the first word. This groundwork ensures that every element of the novel serves a purpose, and it greatly reduces the amount of content I have to discard later on. It's like constructing a building: laying a solid foundation and carefully planning the structure ensures the integrity of the final product.
Conversely, when it comes to my shorter stories, I embrace a more spontaneous, "pantsing" method. This term, derived from the phrase "flying by the seat of your pants," refers to writing without a detailed plan, letting the story unfold organically. It allows me to explore new ideas and themes with freedom and flexibility. This approach suits shorter narratives well, as it lends itself to the discovery of unexpected twists and turns that can make a story truly memorable. The contrast in these methods highlights the versatility in my writing process, adapting to the needs of the narrative to best tell the story I envision, and it's just a lot of fun to write in different ways.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Absolutely, all the time. My characters are as real to me as friends or family members, each with their own distinct voices, quirks, and desires. These conversations often happen in moments of solitude, like when I'm driving or taking a shower. It's in these quiet times that my characters 'speak' the loudest, offering insights into their motivations or how they might react in various situations.
Engaging in full conversations with my characters helps me understand them on a deeper level. It's a bit like method acting; by immersing myself in their personalities and viewpoints, I can ensure their actions and dialogues in the story are authentic and true to their nature. This practice has been incredibly beneficial, especially when I hit a roadblock or am unsure of a character's development. It might seem unconventional to some, but these conversations spark creativity and often lead to breakthroughs in my storytelling.
What advice would you give other writers?
My foremost piece of advice to other writers is to stick with it, remembering always that writing is a marathon, not a sprint. It's easy to get caught up in the desire for immediate success or recognition, but the reality is that such expectations can lead to disappointment. Success in writing often comes slowly, and for some, it may not arrive in the form they initially hoped for.
The key is to ensure you're always enjoying the writing process itself. Find joy in the act of creating, in bringing characters to life, and in weaving narratives. If you love what you're doing, then you've already succeeded on a level that matters deeply. Writing should be fun, a passion project not entirely dependent on external validation.
This journey is as much about personal growth and fulfillment as it is about achieving traditional markers of success. Embrace the challenges, celebrate the small victories, and above all, keep writing because it brings you joy. The path of a writer is unique for each individual, but a shared love for storytelling connects us all. If you stay true to your passion and enjoy the journey, you'll find that you've gained much more than you ever sought to achieve.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
After weighing my options, I decided to self-publish my books. This route appealed to me because it offers complete control over every aspect of the publishing process, from the writing and editing phases to cover design, formatting, and marketing. The traditional publishing route can sometimes impose constraints on an author's creative vision, whether through editorial decisions or marketing strategies that may not fully align with the author's intentions. By self-publishing, I ensure that my creative vision remains intact and unhindered.
Self-publishing also allows me to directly engage with my readers and react more nimbly to their feedback, something that's incredibly important to me. While self-publishing does come with its own set of challenges, such as the need for self-promotion and managing the publishing process, the rewards of maintaining creative autonomy and a direct connection to my audience are immensely satisfying. It's empowering to steer the ship of my literary career, making decisions based on what's best for my work and my readers.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I believe we're at a critical juncture in the history of book publishing. The traditional model, as we knew it, is facing a decline, struggling to adapt to the rapid changes and demands of the digital age. However, it's the emergence of AI in the literary market that's become a significant point of contention. AI-generated books are flooding the market, introducing a new wave of content that's accessible and diverse but also raising questions about the essence of storytelling and creativity.
Personally, I have no interest in reading a book written by AI. To me, the soul of a story lies in its human element—the unique experiences, emotions, and perspectives that the author brings to the narrative. AI can mimic styles and construct narratives, but it lacks the genuine heart and the lived experiences that make stories deeply resonant and meaningful.
Despite these advancements, I'm optimistic about the future of book publishing. This era of change presents an opportunity for authors, publishers, and readers to redefine what value we place on storytelling. It challenges us to advocate for the irreplaceable qualities of human creativity. While AI may alter the landscape, there's a growing appreciation for authentic, human-crafted narratives that I believe will endure. The future of publishing will likely be a blend of traditional, self-publishing, and AI-generated content, but the stories that stand the test of time will be those that capture the essence of our human experience.

About H S Skinner:
An avid reader ever since I figured out those tiny squiggles on paper were the keys to magic portals leading to other worlds, I have since visited many, many worlds and experienced multitudes of diverse things! On this world, I love being outside, hiking or exploring nature. Water is a big draw, especially creeks and waterfalls, or oceans. Dogs and horses are in danger of being seriously spoiled if they come anywhere near me, and so are kids. I love baking, cooking, crafting, and creating. Sharing these loves with my family and friends is one of my greatest joys!
What inspires you to write?
Everything! Pretty much anything I see or hear ticks one of my character boxes and I file it away for later. Bits of conversations, articles I read, new to me words or names, and the best one—my dreams. So many of my characters and settings are things I've dreamed. I am an inveterate people watcher, garnering many of my character traits from the people around me, good and bad.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Older generation authors: Anne McCaffrey. Andre Norton. Louis L'Amour. JRR Tolkien. Newer authors: JC Andrejeski. Nora Roberts/ J D Robb. Andy Peloquin. Marc Secchia. Erin Kellison. Rachel Neumeier.
Tell us about your writing process.
I'm a total pantser! I have a general idea, like knowing you're taking a trip and going from Point A to Point B. It's the unplanned side trips and detours that make the journey exciting! I've tried writing a book straight through, but working on multiple books at one time seems to work better for me, especially since most of my characters wander in and out of each other's stories. While my books aren't technically series and can be read as stand alones, they are all inter-connected. My characters often appear fully evolved. I'm just the vehicle for telling their stories!
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
All. The . Time. My DH has even labeled one of my facial expressions as, "Which book are you in and which character are you talking to now?" I spend way too much time in my own head with my imaginary friends!
What advice would you give other writers?
Read. Read stuff you love. Read stuff you hate. Read mediocre stuff you have no interest in. While you're reading, take note of things you like/ don't like/ things that tick you off. Rewrite things you read in your head to make them more interesting/ enjoyable/ understandable. Pay attention to spelling and grammar and punctuation until it becomes second nature to see the mistakes. Details—how does something smell? Taste? Look? Feel? Sound? Engage all your senses, and present your findings in your work. Make your characters and your setting so believable the reader is jolted back to reality when they have to surface from your story.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
While I tried sending my manuscripts to publishers, it didn't work out. They wanted me to drop thousands of words, or they weren't interested at this time, or… I figured out how to self publish on Amazon, and it just suits me better. I don't have to worry about my story not making sense because I cut half of it out. I'm in charge of designing my covers, so I can put what I want on the cover of my books. I take a lot of pictures, so I usually use something that's relevant to my story. If I have to create something, I use stock photos and tweak them to suit. Hard to get pictures of dragons. Those suckers are fast! I also do my own editing, but I've always had a knack for spotting misspelled words and punctuation. Plus, I don't have to write a cover letter or wait for rejection letters. I write my own blurbs, because who knows my characters/ stories better than I do? If editing/ designing covers/ writing blurbs isn't your thing… Don't stress! There are plenty of people out there who make careers out of each of those, and excel at it. Self publishing also means I'm in charge of advertising and self promo, which is way, way out of my wheelhouse, but I am learning as I go. Get a good Beta reader base, people whose opinions and observations you trust and value. Above all, Enjoy!
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
Despite what the media would have us believe, there are TONS of people out there who don't just like to read, they LOVE to read. There are so many fantastic indie authors out there, each with their own worlds and characters! Self publishing has opened up tremendous opportunities for far more than just what the mainstream publishers are willing to take a chance on. In fact, my TBR pile is probably going to tip over and smother me!
What genres do you write?: I write romance and fantasy, everything from sweet first love to melt your panties! My adult books are published under H S Skinner. My YA books are published under Heidi Skinner.

About Gigi Kaur:
A clinical pharmacist turned author. From dispensing prescriptions to crafting tales, the mysterious Gigi embarks on a literary journey fuelled by passion, adventure and a deep understanding of the human experience.
Drawing inspiration from real life through keen observations and first-hand encounters, Gigi brings authenticity and depth to her narrative, immersing readers in the tales that explore the interplay between intellect and intimacy.
What inspires you to write?
Initially I was in two minds about even writing this book. I had heard about a lot of unrest within the Sikh community about interacial marriages and quite a lot of the explicit scenes are between Jaia (the main character) who is Sikh and her romance interests who range from white, black, and Hispanic. My worry was that the story itself would cause a lot of unrest but compounding that my pseudonym makes it very clear that I am in fact Sikh. But thankfully so far no concerns have been raised. The book takes a very modern view on romance its empowering with a strong female lead who is flawed and completely relatable. I wanted to create a character who was strong, smart, adventurous and sensual. I wanted a romance novel where happiness and fulfilment wasn't hinged on a romantic relationship, with some self discovery and profound advice thrown in for good measure! It's a feel good book with travel, passion and an element of real life.
As a pharmacist I know how important it is to talk about sex and sexual health feely and openly. So whilst I worry about the negative response this book might get I am hopeful that there will be some positivity in there too.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Oh gosh so many! I went through a phase of reading a lot of Jane Fallon. I love Stieg Larsson's girl with the dragon tatoo trilogy. I've read Sylvia Day's books. Love the Classics Charles Dickens, Jane Austin.
Tell us about your writing process.
I had never written a book or created a plan to write a book. The closest thing I had done was write a plan for an experiment… So that’s where I started. The book became my experiment. Instead of a step-by-step experiment method I wrote chapter outlines, instead of a materials list, I wrote down my character names. Did I think about character arcs…no. Did I think about plot and structure…well maybe subconsciously when I outlined the chapters, but I had no idea.
Now, usually when you conduct an experiment you would do some preliminary research right? So, you’d think as a seasoned pharmacist and a member of the scientific community I would have done some research on how to write a book. I didn’t. I dove headfirst into my new passion project. And I enjoyed every second of it, learning and growing every step of the way! Creating Jaia and taking her on a wild adventure of sex, study and travel has been exhilarating and I’m excited to be able to share it with you.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
So Jaia Lust is inspired by true events and so are some of the characters!
Creating these characters was just so much fun. They grew so organically from the writing. Jaia's lack of self awareness and desire to be liked arose from her interactions in the book. Much like us in real life we are the sum of our experiences. I would say the events in the book created the characters. You really see growth and change in the characters as the book progresses, the same way you see growth and change in people and the journey through life.
What advice would you give other writers?
Writing the book felt so freeing. I've mentioned that within the Indian community sex is hardly talked about. So I wanted to create a character who was strong, smart, adventurous and sensual. I wanted a romance novel where happiness and fulfilment wasn't hinged on a romantic relationship, with some self discovery and profound advice thrown in for good measure! Writing the book actually felt very therapeutic. There's something really cathartic about being in control of a characters destiny and taking them on a whirlwind adventure! So for all those wanna be authors sitting on the fence unsure if they should give it a go, I say do it, take the leap and dive into you masterpiece!
How did you decide how to publish your books?
So this was a bit a rubbish surprise- I didn't realise the cost associated with writing a book. I knew I didn't want to go down the traditional route of publishing. I wanted to keep control of my book and I wanted to promote on my terms, remaining anonymous. But the cost of self publishing is crazy. I was lucky to find someone that was open to investing in me and helped me raise the funds for the software I needed to create my cover, the cost of the editing services, the costs of the publishing services, the cost of the marketing services.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I think that traditional publishing house's may need to make things a little easier for upcoming authors otherwise I can't see why that route would be preferred to the self publishing. Although self publishing does cost a lot. I have managed to rack up a nice little debt of £20,000- So maybe traditional publishing is better if you're doing it for an income.

About Gaston King:
Gaston King, a devoted animal caretaker, holds an unwavering passion for storytelling and calls Saint Augustine, Florida, home. Since 2017, he has immersed himself in the world of conservation and the nurturing of animals under professional care. His journey in working with, around, and for animals led him to his wife, a fellow animal enthusiast who shares his love for marine mammals.
With an unshakeable passion for the art of storytelling, he carved out his niche, and found his voice both on paper and onstage. During weekends, he volunteers at a wildlife reserve, where he engages with a diverse array of exotic animals, including lions, tigers, and a special coatimundi.
Drawing from his background in theatre, King has embarked on a mission to seamlessly blend his love for animals and theatrical storytelling. His unique combination of experiences and heartfelt commitment to animals sets the stage for an exciting literary journey into the country of Ignacia.
What inspires you to write?
Writing to me is an incredible, therapeutic and creative outlet that allows me to combine my real-life experiences with my imagination. My passion for animals has been a huge driving force for why I was able to bring my latest piece to life. As a wildlife animal caretaker, the animals I care for and learn about have always been an important subject.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Ernest Hemingway
Stephen King
Edmond Rostand
Tell us about your writing process.
With original stories it's important to at least categorize your thoughts accordingly and allow your creativity room to breathe. That being said I'll story board potential plots that circle around or cohesively lead into a certain climactic moment. If that real and raw climax remains at the forefront of my mind throughout the writing process, I know where I need to go. Then I'll begin to world build and pave the path to get there.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I personally don't listen or talk to my characters. Honest dialogue should come naturally and come to light when a writer recalls certain conversations with certain people in real life. You use those energies to write your conversations.
What advice would you give other writers?
It's easy to give up and look at the workload authors face when self-publishing. You can spend a lifetime writing stories, but until you take the necessary steps, those written works will be nothing but stories that sit and collect dust. You have to put in the time to get your work out there. You owe it to yourself. Please be patient with yourself throughout the writing process. This story has taken me two years and some change to properly write, edit, and re-edit over and over again. Remember why you decided to write that story in the first place. If it's important to you, then you'll make it happen. I wish you luck on your creative journey.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I decided to pursue the indie author route and self-publish my book. I figured if I was going to put all my extra time and energy outside of my regular job, I may as well learn all of the many tools to the trade. That and the extra royalties doesn't hurt. I'm publishing through Amazon KDP as an eBook, paperback and hardcover for my book.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I believe more and more authors and writers out there will see the accessibility of self-publishing and eventually more and more will side with self-publishing. However, at that point it could become difficult for self-published works to stand out. There has to be a balance for publishing companies to want to continue working with authors. It shouldn't be this difficult for authors to find the proper representation. Things need to change if authors are going to continue to grow with society.

About Faye Hall:
Faye Hall is the author of fast-paced, suspense-filled, sensual, historical romance stories.
She takes her characters on a unique journey of scandal and seduction through the historically rural setting of Queensland, Australia.
Faye was born and raised in the sugarcane farming areas of North Queensland, Australia. She tries to incorporate the tales of local history, and the struggles and adventures of her own family, into each of her stories.
Faye lives in North Queensland with her husband and 5 of their 9 children.
What inspires you to write?
I grew up in rural North Queensland, Australia surrounded by sugarcane farms, and stories of the immigrants that had moved there to start a new life before, during, or after the world wars.
It was these stories of hardship and love that fed my imagination and from that I began to write.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
I take inspiration from so many places, from romance books written by Amanda Quick, to crime novels written by Agatha Christie.
Tell us about your writing process.
I'm not sure it's unusual but I write lots of notes and quotes, even little sections of dialogue. They don't belong to any story as such, but I keep them and look back on them at least once a year until a story forms from them.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Talk – yes. Yell – often. Argue – all the time.
What advice would you give other writers?
Be prepared to fail and get up and keep trying.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I've been with several publishers over the last 10 years and they've all shut their doors for whatever reason. One of those was a nightmare and I found myself trapped in a contract I just couldn't get out of. After the last one shut their door, I decided I'd try my hand at indie publishing through my family run publishing house.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
It's always been uncertain but with so much AI stuff being used, and pirate sites taking over, I fear that authors will become a dying breed.
What genres do you write?: Romance, Historical romance, Suspense, Romantic suspense, drama

About Ella Hall:
Ella Hall, a multifaceted entrepreneur in the realms of fashion design, acting, and modeling, is now adding the title of author to her impressive resume with the release of her memoir, "Text Me: Loving Your Enemy." Within its pages, Ella candidly shares her journey, offering a beacon of hope to countless Americans—women, men, and young adults alike—who grapple with the pervasive trends of passive-aggressiveness and toxicity in relationships.
What inspires you to write?
The love I have for writing. It just comes very naturally to me. I also love seeing my thoughts on paper and enjoy seeing my work in books or turned into a book. I have such an imaginative thought process it's almost unreal. There's so much to be said for what a person thinks. I have read a lot of work from amazing authors and knew I fit into the great writer category.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Oh my , Stephen King, VC Andrews, R. L. Stine, Alvin Schwartz, Tom Schulman, Rhonda Bryne, Napoleon Hill,and Deepak Chopra. The list goes on.
Tell us about your writing process.
Writing the chapter about my belated husband was hard. I had to stop typing for a
day or two. But I wanted to make sure I finished the novel, so I picked up where I left off. I was
on a mission to spread examples of controlling narcissist behaviors and similar topics to the
world, and that’s exactly what I have done.
What advice would you give other writers?
I would say to keep going, even if life gives you a few hiccups, just remember to keep writing. take a journal with you if you travel and if you think of things to add to your book while you're traveling you can write it down in your journal and add it to your manuscript later. Writer block is such a thing, and that ok to have. For me when I have it and get over it my work is ten times better and my thoughts are 100 times greater. Don't take the word no or the comment this genre doesn't fit our agency personally. Check that agency off the list and go on to the next one. there will always be a crowd out there that will love your style of writing and what you have written.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I started by sending out query letters to book publishing companies, but the feedback wasn't to my liking. I also encountered a lot of agencies that wanted upfront fees, and to my knowledge, you don't ever pay for an agency to sign you on. So I went to self-publishing resources and am now published through Barnes and Noble, and on Amazon.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I have two manuscripts I'm writing now. One I'm 13 chapters in, the other is not a chapter book. This next time around I will submit my manuscripts to agencies online. I just have to find the right agency that fits the genre I'm writing, and I think I have a few in mind.
What genres do you write?: Memoir
What formats are your books in?: Print, Audiobook

About Duncan Whitehead:
Award-winning writer Duncan Whitehead was born in England and is the author of the best-selling and award-winning GORDONSTON LADIES DOG WALKING CLUB Trilogy. The series, inspired by the quirky characters and eeriness in the real-life Savannah neighborhood in which he once lived, is a humorous mystery that boasts an assortment of characters and plot twists. The first book in this series won the 2013 Reader's Favorite Book Award for Comedy.
He has also written over 2,000 spoof and comedy news articles under various aliases for a variety of websites both in the US and the UK. Duncan now resides in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and has written further novels, including the four-book FOREST PINES MYSTERY SERIES and a stand-alone comedy, THE RELUCTANT JESUS, which won the 2014 Reader's Favorite Book Award for Comedy.
The final and fourth book in the FOREST PINES SERIES was released in December 2023, written after a four-year hiatus from writing. He is the author of the parody A COZY MYSTERY…WITH ZOMBIES!, which was released in January 2024. He has recently completed his next book, a comedy, and parody entitled MURDER, SHE HOPED and has commenced work on his next comedy/mystery, THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT FLETCHER'S END.
Duncan is well known for his charity work and kindness to animals, children, and old people. His charity, 'Habitat for Hotties,' where he finds housing for retired Hooter's waitresses, was recently voted the least likely charity anyone would ever donate to. He has donated several organs to puppies and kittens and, to help save the planet, does not leave a carbon footprint, as he only wears slippers. In February 2040, he invented time travel and now spends much of his time in either the future (where he has won the lottery an astonishing 117 times) or the present day. Attempts to return to 1985 and write The Harry Potter series of books have thus far failed.
What inspires you to write?
I am inspired to write because I enjoy it. Even if my books were never published, didn't sell, or were ripped apart by reviewers, I would still write because it genuinely makes me happy!
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
My favorite authors include Agatha Christie, Ben Elton, and John Kennedy Toole. I also enjoy JK Rowling, C Terry Cline, Jnr, and Richard Osman. My favorite genres to read are dark comedy and mysteries. However, a combination of both is my ideal genre.
Tell us about your writing process.
I write a first draft by the seat of my pants. I just put all my original thoughts and ideas onto paper. Then, I go back and add to the plot or character development. If I am writing comedy, I will ask others to read each subsequent draft. Usually, by the time I get to the tenth draft, I am ready for the book to be edited. It is a long process but it works for me.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I don't actually talk to them, but I imagine them so vividly that when I go from draft to draft, it does feel as though I am listening to them.
What advice would you give other writers?
My biggest mistake when I started writing was not using an editor. The best advice that I can give is to use a professional editor. I wish I had when I first started out.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
Initially, I self-published but was lucky enough to get 'discovered' by a traditional publisher. However, I prefer to self-publish my latest books because I have more freedom. If I could go back, I would have turned down the opportunity to be traditionally published and would have stuck with self-publishing. Anything I do in the future will be self-published.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
More and more writers will see the benefit of self-publishing. Technology has advanced so much that it is easy to do. I feel that traditional publishers focus on big names, and at one time, they were the 'gatekeepers.' I think the gates have been well and truly breached!

About Drew Glasgow:
I'm the author of the ‘Buckley’ series of crime thriller novels, about the life and (mis)adventures of the Mancunian former career criminal turned private investigator, and his partner – in more ways than one – Alison.
Buckley’s age is unspecified, but he's had considerably more yesterdays than he’ll have tomorrows. Living in and working out of the south Manchester borough of Chettley Buckley’s very much a glass half full kind of guy, always up for a challenge, a laugh and a pint – not necessarily in that order.
The character of Buckley is drawn from several people I've known over the years, with a large dose of me mixed in as well – not the criminal bit, I hasten to add.
My books are character-based, fast moving and very British, especially the humour.
What inspires you to write?
As an ‘indie’ author I enjoy writing in all its aspects, the outlining, editing and marketing almost as much as the writing itself.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
At the moment I’m reading ‘Who is the Tigerman?’, a thriller by Gordon Warden, a new author to me, and ‘I Spy, I saw her Die’, a cyber-crime thriller by Ian C.P. Irvine.
Tell us about your writing process.
I aim to write 600 words a day, every day. Once I’ve achieved this target then that’s me finished until tomorrow. I do outline my novels, but nothing too rigid, more as a loose guideline than anything else.
I edit as I go so when I've finished writing a novel my wife Pauline gives it a final onceover then it's ready to go.
I don't use any special writing/editing software – MS Word works fine for me.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
No.
What advice would you give other writers?
Write every day ( or as near every day as possible. )
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I started back in 2019 publishing ebooks and print-on-demand paperbacks on Amazon KDP, and ebooks on Kobo. I stayed that way for quite a while but earlier this year I published on Barnes & Noble Press and Google Play Books also. Now I’m thinking of trying Apple Books. I believe ‘wide’ is the way to go.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I believe it has, and will always have, a future of some description, but just what that future will be I have no idea.
What genres do you write?: British private investigator crime
What formats are your books in?: Both eBook and Print

About Cortez Law III:
Cortez Law III is the author of nine independently published books. The romance novel, My Brother's Keeper (2001), the Atlanta X-Men Homicide Squad suspense/mystery/thriller novels Kremlin Tide (2014), Cold Lick (2015), Serial Rites (2017), Shadow Doctors (2019), Threat Nexus (2020), and Black Phoenix (2024). He also wrote the science fiction/thriller, S.Y.P.H.E.N. (2015) and the supernatural thriller novella, Evil Realms (2019). He enjoys movies, TV, fishing, sports, reading and fitness.
What inspires you to write?
I started writing and self-publishing a Christian African American romance novel, My Brother's Keeper, in 2001. I thought that was my genre. Then, enter September 11, 2001. A light bulb went off. That tragedy galvanized a nation, and many people expressed their patriotism for this country via songs, music, movies, etc. I was no different, and looking back, I wasn't surprised either. When I was writing screenplays, they consisted of small-budgeted urban dramas but also police/crime stories as well. I like the Hero Myth of storytelling, so I feel comfortable with mysteries, suspense, and thriller stories.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
I like the Hero Myth of storytelling, so I feel comfortable with mysteries, suspense, and thriller stories. The person I miss who filled this niche before he passed in 2001 and was a Chicago Police Captain was author Hugh Holton. I read most of his work. Other favorites I've read more than once include Michael Connelly, Lee Child, Walter Mosley, Ridley Pearson, Jeffery Deaver, and Ted Dekker. It's good to see additional African American mystery/suspense/thriller authors such as Tracy Clark, Rachel Howzell Hall, Kellye Garrett, Aaron Philip Clark, and Charles Prandy. The Christian Mystery/Suspense marketplace doesn't have many, if any, African American authors. I hope to bridge that gap between the two markets.
Tell us about your writing process.
Writers are either pantsers, where they write the story and allow intuition to guide them, or you’re plotters or planners, where an outline leads you to your story’s desired end. I tend to plan or plot my stories on my PC in Word. Since this is the sixth book in the Atlanta X-Men Homicide Squad series, I've established the main characters. Their growth through the books and other major/minor characters adds flavor to each story. So, then it becomes a challenge of creating the best storylines I can, which can originate from anywhere.
It takes about three to six months for a first draft. It depends upon how steadfast I am every day with my writing schedule. Then, I could write five to ten drafts after that to get it as close as possible to perfection. The key for me to do that is to take breaks from the book between each draft. That may last anywhere from a month minimum to two or two and a half months. A writer needs that separation from the story to get some distance from the words, which surely needs additional editing. So, that's about nine months on the low end to about 12 months maximum.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I hear their voices in my head and go with that flow. I do ask them questions along the way. All the characters get thorough scrutiny in subsequent drafts, especially the secondary characters, who are new to the Atlanta Homicide Squad series world.
What advice would you give other writers?
Read, read, read, in and out of your favorite genre. That's my challenge because I love the crime genre so much. Study books on writing; writers can never know enough about the craft. Many writers are likely already aware of this, but the real challenge often lies in marketing. Set some money aside for that part of the business. Believe that even if you haven't published anything, you're still a professional writer. If you disagree with or refuse to believe that, you can consider yourself an advanced beginner.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I pursued literary agents, but the mystery/thriller/suspense genres merging into the Christian market from an African American perspective wasn't one I think the gatekeepers believed would fly. I also learned that publishing companies gave the big-name authors' books the marketing push they needed to succeed. Not so much for the other mid-listers or newbies. We get the belief of our talent from agents, book editors, graphic designers, and photographers, but don't get that same belief when it comes to marketing dollars? If I didn't get that same confidence in marketing dollars to get the word out about my work, why go that route? Self-publishing has gotten easier over the years, so that's a plus.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I hope it doesn't shrink anymore with all the mergers recently. Ebooks are here to stay, but print isn't going anywhere either. I want to get into the audiobook format soon. I understand it's scorching hot and has been for some time now. With film studios cutting back on productions, the increased streaming services offer another revenue opportunity for authors who have IPs that succeed as books and would translate into filmed projects. Good, bad, or ugly in this arena, I look at a book adaptation as a two-hour advertisement for that novel or non-fiction work.

About Chris DeSantis:
Chris DeSantis grew up in the 80‘s with a love for stories in all mediums, science fiction in particular. A cable broadcast of any Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien, or Predator movie was not to be missed, and Exosquad was the cartoon of choice. He devoured books of all genres, from the Star Wars Expanded Universe (RIP), to novelizations of his favorite movies, and the works of Bowden, Carr, Card, Clancy, Cline, Corey, Crichton, Foster, Haldeman, Heinlein, Huff, Hurwitz, King, Morrell, Niven, Scalzi, Steakley, Taylor, Traviss, Weir, Wells, and others.
He graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. Since then, he worked as a software engineer on a variety of products; from finite element analysis simulators, to DoD contractor on counter-WMD platforms, and educational software. Now, he writes. When not writing or reading, he enjoys family time, home improvement projects, investing, RPGs, and video games. He lives in North Carolina with his family and two cats.
What inspires you to write?
There's nothing better than reading a story that engages all aspects of the human condition. To take readers on a journey the same way my favorite authors did for me is such a thrill. Hard work, but the end product is the reward.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
David Morrell, John Scalzi, Michael Crichton, Mark Greaney, Tom Clancy, Gregg Hurwitz, Martha Wells
Tell us about your writing process.
It evolves with each book I write. I have general concepts and themes in mind, and the characters were created to add unique twists and spins on common sci-fi troupes. Now, I do way more outlining with each book I've written.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I may tell them to not go in the abandoned space station or steal the haunted treasure from the tomb but those idiots never listen!
What advice would you give other writers?
It really comes down to 'Read a lot' and 'Don't Quit.'
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I went Amazon KDP for my first trilogy to have direct ownership in building my reader base. I'm open to considering traditional querying in the future. Never say never.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
With the technology available, there's far more paths to success and that's a good thing. The 'AI writing books' thing is troublesome, so hopefully we can figure out a way to make it work without Skynet writing the next Harry Potter.

About Chloe Coontz:
Born and raised in a big city of southern Italy, Chloe started reading books early in life. Inspired by the most special events she experienced and read about, as well as authors like Stephen King and B.A. Paris, she depicts people and facts with the same care of a skilled and experienced craftsman. She never fails to use her so-called "sympathetic irony" with her characters on which she expresses no judgment.
What inspires you to write?
Anything specific happened in my life and/or anything that I read about in the news and consider relevant to the plot.
Tell us about your writing process.
My plots and characters come to me while listening to my favorite music, but I make them real (with details, personalities and everything) only while writing on my computer.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I handle my characters like I would handle my pawns on the chess board. They have to do this thing and also make the audience understand why they're doing that.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I decided to go the self-publishing route because I wanted to own everything about what I would write, from honors to burdens. To the new authors: feel free to make your own choice. Anyway, if you want to make the choice opposite to mine, always research your potential publisher before sending your manuscript.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I think book publishing is a phenomenon that will never die. It will keep changing in terms of accessibility and formats, but I don't see it facing particular challenges.
What genres do you write?: Horror, Sci-Fi, contemporary

About Caelen Walker:
After years of entertaining friends with random short stories, observational articles and a variety of recreational writings I was finally challenged to put those skills to use writing an actual novel. The idea began to develop and unfold and the story seemed to flow with no end, so what started as a simple bucket list item has developed into the Crown Acres series. Some ideas just didn't fit in and will be developed into other opportunities outside of the Crown Acres universe, but the writing never seems to stop.
While I am not any one character from any book, I enjoy spreading bits of myself throughout all of my characters. It allows me to leverage my time in the US Army, working for Military Contractors, armed security, the tech industry and more against my role as a father, husband, son, brother, and friend.
What inspires you to write?
I really enjoy telling the stories of my characters. I think the term prepper has been given a bad name and people now think of some redneck wearing a tin foil hat and shooting at government employees as the standard, when in reality, I think all of society would do better to be a little more self-sufficient and rely less on services that could disappear with no warning. Nobody enjoys sitting down and reading countless manuals about these subjects, so I wanted to present the lessons to people by way of a narrative they could enjoy.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
In this genre, I really enjoy A. American, Walter Browning, William Johnstone, and a few others, but outside of it, I like C.S. Lewis, Tolkien, and Garth Stein.
Tell us about your writing process.
Is "ad hoc by the seat of your pants, making it up as you go along and hoping nobody notices" a writing style? Because if so, that's alllllll me! The truth is, I don't have a style. I like writing my main character in the first person because I want people to engage with him on a deep, personal level and feel the fear, anger, and sorrow that he feels. That being said, a first-person book makes it difficult to tell the whole story of what is happening when that character isn't in the room, so I took the opportunity to switch to third-person when dealing with other characters. I've received some really powerful feedback from readers on balancing these two approaches.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Always. It's incredibly cliche, but the fact of the matter is I just write down what they tell me to. They are living in this world and trusting me to tell their story and teach others the lessons they are learning the hard way, so I do. I may sprinkle a bit of my attitude throughout the dialogue or into certain character interactions, but generally speaking, my characters live this life and I am simply watching it, recording it, and passing it on.
What advice would you give other writers?
YOU need to own your time table. I've talked with writers who took five years to produce their first book, It took almost a year and the second one came to me in 90 days from the first letter to editor sign-off. Don't let anyone push you, don't let them cause you to jeopardize your own stories. You put out what you feel is right on your timetable.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I mean… my wife kinda made me? As silly as that sounds, she pointed out the time I took away from the family to write it, the late nights, the research, the brainstorming. She helped me realize that I might as well actually publish it and let others enjoy it as well or it was all just wasted time.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I pray that people stop phoning it in and respect the craft. AI is going to kill the Indie book scene as people continue to crap out 30 books a month via an AI engine, create an AI cover and slap it up on Amazon, grinding the rest of our efforts into dust. I hope that more authors will have the opportunity to shine, but as long as AI is throwing off the numbers, I don't see that happening.

About C.R. Drakeloch:
My name is Christopher Riddle, but I go by the pen name C.R. Drakeloch. I am 27 years old, soon to be 28 on Earth Day, and I am a novelist who was born and raised in Central Missouri. Growing up I always had a very vivid imagination. I often liked to draw, and whenever I would draw I would often end up dictating a story for whatever was going on in the scene. This I think, was probably the spark for what would eventually lead me to become the author I am today.
What inspires you to write?
The things which inspire to me to write the most, are unsurprisingly, the interests I grew up with. Animals, history, mythology, folklore, and things such as that. I grew up with a forest right behind my house, so it's no surprise that nature and animals make repeat apperances in my novels. And I suppose it's also no surprise that magic and spiritualistic elements appear as growing up in catholic, faith-driven environment drove me to be inspired and to see the world in a way that is something more than just we can register in a material manner. I feel there is something…powerful, in the unknown. Something which pulls at the primal instincts of man. Whether it inspires awe or fear.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Well, Brian Jacques of course, as he was the one whose book Rakkety Tam, first got me into writing. Also C.S. Lewis and Tolkien were major contributors, as well as Terry Brooks. The descriptiveness and detail Brooks used in his works, especially showed me how I could improve as an author, and how descriptive details could make a story all the more enthralling.
Tell us about your writing process.
My writing process is very much without structure. This isn't to say that for me, I haven't tried using outlines and the structures that are taught in English classes. However, I keep going back to just letting the story develop itself. Letting the characters grow on their own, as I've found it allows the characters to have their distinct flaws and characteristics. It makes them seem more genuine. Not to mention I see a story as a simulation of life. Our lives are not perfectly structured. They are constantly changing and expanding. And through that thought process, I take the same approach to my writing. The story constantly grows and changes, taking it's own path.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Interestingly enough, I do both. Seeing as how the characters gradually become like real people to me, I do hear them talking to me, as crazy as that probably sounds, while I'm writing. No I'm not schizophrenic. But what I'm saying, is when you spend enough time developing a character, writing their personalities and their appearance and their dialogue, you do start to hear them and even talk to them a little, wondering how they want their part of the story to play out next.
What advice would you give other writers?
I would have a few pieces of advice for other writers. First, know what genre works for you. Fiction writers? I honestly believe we're 50% inner child, 50% professional liar, and 10% a little crazy. But that's the case with any artist, I think. You have to be a little out there, a little different to do any artistic profession. For non-fiction writers, you have to be able to combine that same sense of artistic nature and creativity with research and dedication to the facts. The thing both have in common, is you have to have persistence, dedication. And the understanding that there will be days where you have to push through that feeling of wanting to scream at a project, and where you ask yourself, "Why am I doing this?" Because if you can get through those days, it really is worth it in the end.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
Research. That really is what it comes down to. You have to honestly look at your wallet or purse or pocketbook, or whatever you use, and ask yourself what format is best? For me, the self-publishing format was best, because it was the most cost effective and it gave me the most control over my book. I was able to set my own pricing, create my own cover. The only downside, was I didn't have the business sense. So I had a struggle getting my presence out there, until I met my agent. Had I gone traditional, I could've had an agent represent me to a publishing company, but typically an agent in that instance gets a 15% cut of the advance, and you don't even know if your book will sell or if you will make more money. And you can end up sinking 10-15000 into it. Same with hybrid, you can sink 14000 in and not even know if your book will sell. It's why I'm satisfied with my situation, because I have representation and a chance at selling books at an affordable cost. If you have a low budget, I would advise using self-publishing because it at least increases the chance of your book getting seen by a representative at a lower cost.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I think it depends on the format we are discussing. I think, given the recent increase in price for materials like ink, paper and such, and the increased popularity of e-books and audiobooks, especially of sites like Amazon and Spotify, that we're seeing a trend of e-book publishing become more popular than print publishing at least with the younger generation. I know the generation older than me, still enjoys print books. And I do as well. I'm one of those who just likes the feel of a physical book as I turn the pages. But nostalgia aside, I do feel we are seeing fewer and fewer bookstores, as a sign of changing times.

About April Tompkins:
April Tompkins grew up on the prairies of North Dakota and now lives in Minnesota with her husband and her cat Sasha. She is the mother of two strong men.
She is not only an author, but an accomplished songwriter and singer, whose independent albums have garnered thousands of plays on Spotify and are featured in music libraries. She is also the creator and editor of a digital music magazine and has been a music blogger since 2007.
In her writing universe, April’s characters are not as uncomplicated as they seem. Everyone has a story, but it may take some coaxing to get them to tell it.
What inspires you to write?
Ever since I was little I made up stories in my head (but didn't write them down), so I like imagining scenarios and how they might play out. I began blogging several years ago and I liked it. I realized I had a lot of stories to tell, so I set out to write a novel. I've since written eleven novels and novellas.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
I have eclectic tastes. I'm a sucker for an engrossing novel, but I also love true crime and history; biographies as well.
Tell us about your writing process.
I start with a setting. Setting plays a big part in my stories; they're almost a character in themselves. I like to write about small towns because I find the characters who live there unique and quirky, and their lives are more intertwined with others. Then I develop my main character and plop her into a new situation.
I'm a pantser (or discovery writer) all the way. I truly never know where my stories will lead, and they've led to some surprising places. Surprising myself is the most fun part of writing for me.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I talk "as" my characters (in my head, of course).
What advice would you give other writers?
Learn as much as you can by joining a couple of writers’ forums. Offer (or at least read) writing critiques when other writers request them. You’ll be surprised how much you learn about your own writing that way. Learn about story structure and flow. And just keep writing. Hardly anyone writes a best seller on their first try, but the more you write, the better you’ll become.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I'm an independent person who likes being in control of the entire process. I design my own covers and do my own editing. Obviously, I have to market my books myself, which is the most difficult part of being an independent author, but I'm beginning to enjoy that, too.
I would advise new authors to research, research, research. Bookmark helpful advice and refer back to it. Read other independent writers' experiences.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I firmly believe that self-publishing will only grow more and more influential. It's already happening. The stigma has disappeared as more and more great books have hit the market.
What genres do you write?: I write women's fiction, which is often confused with romance, but women's fiction is more about a woman's journey. Romance can play a role in it, though!

About Andrew Masseurs:
Andrew Masseurs is a creatively restless spirit. While spending over twenty years creating music, four albums and an EP, he found himself inexplicably focused on writing one day on holiday. The result, his first exciting apocalyptic novella, A Day in the Life Novella (A Day in the Life Series, Book One) Relishing the experience Andrew is now getting the second book in the A Day in the Life series, The Day After (A Day in the Life Series, Book Two) ready for release and is currently writing the third book in the series.
Andrew is a loving husband and father to four kids living in the beautiful country that is New Zealand.
What inspires you to write?
Originally what inspired me to write was reading a novel that was a hard slog. Now, it would be the challenge to write something that not only makes me cry, scream, cheer and laugh but also the reader.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Stephen King, George R R Martin, J K Rowling, Thomas Harris,Suzanne Collins. I loved to get whisked away into another world. The best books were the ones I couldn't put down. There really is something special about keeping the reader guessing.
Tell us about your writing process.
My first book A Day in the Life (Novella) Book One was written unplanned. It just came and I found out what happened just as the reader did. It was both unnerving and exciting. For my first book it worked. I wrote two novels after using the same process and they had issues. They both took a year to write and I haven't released them. The fourth book (The second book in my apocalyptic series called The Day After) I planned and outlined each chapter. I wrote it in a month and it was good. So, now I plan. I have ideas for who the characters are in my head. I tend to know them and their speech patterns.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I don't listen to or talk to my characters. I AM my characters. They are working me through the story.
What advice would you give other writers?
Be yourself. There's only one of you use it to your advantage. Why try and write like someone else? That person already exists and has written possibly great things. Take a risk and be original. The best things are. I love my book series because no one else has created this type of world before.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
My first book was published through a publisher. They wanted the second book also. I got my rights back and I'm now self publishing. Haven't looked back. Unless your working with a big publisher who believes in your book you will be basically doing all the marketing yourself anyway. Self Publish baby, learn the business. But, first off, write a great book. Rule number one.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
It's changing. Just like the world. Self publishing is becoming more and more popular with authors doing very well. I've come from the music world also where that has totally broken down. It's amazing coming to the book world and also seeing how creatives earn the smallest amount of money. probably 1-5% of each book sold. Creatives in this world are slaves to a money making machine of promoters, marketers, printers, distributors and wholesalers who are all earning a living from your hard work. Yet, you earn the smallest amount possible. Just like the music world, its broken.

About Amin Masih:
Amin Masih is an Indian fiction writer who mainly writes short stories. He wrote his first short story in May 2018 and self-published it as an ebook on Amazon. Since then, he has written dozens of short stories to date. He has also written hundreds of poems, which can be found in his poetry collections. He mainly writes children stories, love stories and political fiction, but he also raises social and political issues through his writings in almost every story and book.
What inspires you to write?
Books inspire me to write. When I read books, stories or blogs, I feel like I can write a little better or almost the same. Also, I feel I should write to convey my opinions and thoughts to people.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Ved Prakash Sharma and Surender Mohan Pathak are my favourite writers whose novels inspired me to write my own novel.
Tell us about your writing process.
Before writing a book, I shoot a complete movie in my imagination. Then I write some main points on MS-Word. Then, I divide those points chapter by chapter and start writing my book on my smartphone.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I feel like I can feel the characters I create for my stories. To be honest, I play the main character of my story in my imagination.
What advice would you give other writers?
To be a good writer, you need to be a good reader. First, start reading as much as you can and then try writing yourself.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
When I wrote my first short story in May 2018, I had no idea how to publish it. To be honest, I did not have the money to self-publish by buying a self-publishing package. Also, it would require a long book. Later one day, I found out that KDP offers free publishing service where anyone can publish their short story as an ebook. Then I started self-publishing my short stories one by one.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
At present, book publishing has become an easy process. It is going to become even easier in the near future. But in the growing digital age, we need to be more cautious about book publishing. It is a challenge for us to keep the paperback format alive in the age of e-books.
What genres do you write?: children, romance, comedy, politics, fiction, poetry

About Alexander Schmid:
Alexander Schmid was born, raised and lives in Geelong, Australia. He has a bachelor in Engineering and Science from Deakin University, and is currently working as a Science Technician. He is an advert lover of games, movies, books, anime and manga.
His love of books led him to start writing during university and in time he created the Geb War Chronicles of which the Mirror of Reality is but the first book of many.
What inspires you to write?
What initially inspired me to write my books was the fact that my head was filled with so many ideas and stories that they only way I could get them out was to write them down. And in the process of writing things down and creating a world of fiction for my characters to exist in I realised I wanted to tell their story. So I started writing it out until it was finished. From then on I wanted to keep writing for the simple fact that I loved create and spinning forth the tale of my worlds and characters.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
These are some of my first authors that I read and as such they are some of my favourites due to shaping my tastes.
Raymond E. Feist, Robert Jordan, David Eddings, Janny Wurts, Terry Brooks, Patrick Rotherfuss, Peter F. Hamilton
Tell us about your writing process.
I tend to create the fantasy worlds in which the story will take place first, then the characters, then the story. Although I will iterate on what I created as time and plans expand. This means sometimes I will create a world then characters will reshape the world which in turn might reshape the magic of the world and so on.
The actual writing process itself is much simpler. When I have enough of a foundation to commence my story I will create an overview of the story and then simply write along. This overview will enable me to see where I want to go, while at the same time allow me to change the story as I go along without having to be bound to extensively to old plans.
I liken this to building a tree house. You grow the tree and see what random and awesome things it grows into, and then you build a tree house within the tree. This allows the world and characters to grow naturally, while at the same time allowing me to limit or redirect the edges of the story/plot.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I am unsure if I truly listen to or talk to my characters. Instead I imagine what my characters would do in the upcoming part of the story then I try to feel if that is consistent with the character that I am writing. This means of course that I must look at the plot and see where it is going and then try to balance that against the characters and how they feel/act in any given moment.
What advice would you give other writers?
Start off by writing short stories. This lets you get the hang of writing stories quickly and efficiently while at the same time allowing you to complete projects. Also never stop asking questions either about the writing process itself or about how to become an author, self published or otherwise.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I finished my first book just before Covid hit in 2020. So after finishing editing my book I looked about to see if any publishers were accepting books at the time, they were not possibly due to Covid. So I realised I could self publish and that it would grant me greater control of my work and I went for it.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
Truthfully I am unsure of the future of publishing, however I hope that the publishing of books, especially self publishing, is streamlined in the future. There are so many good stories in existence and so many untapped authors out there; if we set things up correctly we could be drowning in good stories and characters for years to come.
Not to mention if done properly then the editing, the cover design and the marketing/advertising of a book could be done so smoothly that it becomes so much simpler.
I say this from the perspective of a self publishing author who saw far too many articles leading me around in circles while attempting to self publish and self market my book.

What advice would you give other writers?
My advice for brand new authors who need to write down and put up books is to begin by focusing on the quality of their writing and developing a robust manuscript. Before diving into the publishing manner, ensure you’ve got very well edited and polished your work and have additionally had others overview and offer comments on it.
When it involves publishing, do your research and don’t forget all of your alternatives. Traditional publishing may provide better visibility and distribution; however, self-publishing gives you extra control over the method and a higher percentage of royalties. Consider which path aligns first-class with your dreams and be organised to put in the important effort and marketing to make your e-book successful.
Networking is likewise key inside the publishing industry. Attend author’s meetings, be part of writing organisations, and connect to other authors and enterprise experts to research from their reviews and benefit from treasured insights. Building relationships in the writing community can also create opportunities for collaboration and promotion.
Lastly, do not be discouraged by rejection or setbacks. Publishing can be a hard and aggressive industry, but perseverance and determination in your craft will, in the long run, cause success. Keep honing your skills, in search of feedback, and pushing forward along with your writing desires. Good luck on your publishing adventure!
How did you decide how to publish your books?
My decision to submit to a conventional publisher or self-post my e-book is encouraged by various factors. For self-publishing my e-book, I am willing to go closer to a dependable distributor with established popularity in e-book distribution, ideally with an unfastened alternative that doesn't involve upfront charges. This guarantees that my ebook reaches several stores globally, maximising its publicity. Ultimately, my choice is guided by my preference for efficient distribution and maximum visibility for my contents.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I envision the future of e-book publishing as a realm wherein generations intertwine with insightful content material, providing authors with a plethora of alternatives between ebooks and printed books. With numerous systems for e-book cowl design, authors can discover new avenues of creativity. This evolution extends readers' right of entry to past computers and smartphones, embracing a range of technological gadgets for greater reading experiences.

A Coat of Many Colors is an anthology of five plays. They all feature reality based, diverse Jewish characters ranging from Harry Houdini to the last queen of Tahiti. Shylock is there as well.
This anthology takes aim at the antisemitic stereotype. The Jewish characters in this book are distinct individuals. The only thing they share is the description, Jewish.
Targeted Age Group:: Adults
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Of late antisemitism has escalated. In the U.S. the escalation has increasingly included violence. The basis for this age-old prejudice is the phrase, all Jews are alike, alike in terrible ways.
The irony here is that among members of the Jewish community, there is no general agreement on who is Jewish. Religious belief, family heritage, shared culture, and variations on all of these possibilities, are the "in-house" standards used. What is the old line? Where there are two Jews, there are three branches of the religion and four political parties.
This anthology is meant to illustrate that the internal Jewish disagreement is much closer to the real world than any negative stereotype.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
My educational background and my life-long interest is the study of biography. It is still what I most often read. It should not come as a surprise that the limitations for historical biography have not escaped me. Unless a biographer is dealing with a person who lived during the last century, there is no way to know with any certainty what their subject said.
These plays are an imaginative way of filling in that verbal blank space. Yet what I imagine the historical characters say is based on all the information I can find about them. For me, unless the play is a satire, the characters in the play need to reflect who they actually were.

About Featured Book: Why Didn’t I Die: A Memoir of PTSD by Fred Kirkpatrick
Do You Have Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
PTSD – “A Condition of persistent mental and mental stress occurring because of injury or severe psychological shock.” The effects of Post-traumatic stress disorder on someone’s life leaves almost nothing unchanged. The longer that PTSD exists without treatment, the greater the effects of PTSD on a person’s life.
I have struggled with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) nearly my whole life. It started in late 1967 and I’ve had many ups and downs over the years.
PTSD is the 6th most-rated disability among veterans. The VA PTSD ratings are: 0%, 10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, and 100%. The most common rating for PTSD is 70%, but many are rated at 50%, 30%, and 10%. Having a 100% rating for PTSD is possible, but rare. The requirement for 100% is stringent: The veteran must provide evidence that their condition is so severe that their symptoms cause total occupational and social impairment that makes them unemployable:
- Learn What the Symptoms of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Are
- Talk to your Health Provider About Taking a PTSD Self Screen
- Take the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 Questionnaire
“Killing Animals is a Precursor to Killing People – You’re A Walking Time Bomb Ready To EXPLODE.” – The Medical team giving an assessment of me during my lock-up.
The Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 is now the gold standard for PTSD assessment in both veterans and civilians. In my day, it was your GAF score.
Loss of Interest, Emotional Detachment, Memory Problems, feeling different from others, drug abuse, alcoholism, bipolar disorder, hyper vigilance (severe anxiety, fear panic), violent behavior, rage and hate, flashbacks, nightmares, depression, anxiety attacks, paranoia (excessive or irrational suspiciousness of others), trouble sleeping (sleep apnea), feeling jumpy and easily startled, always on high alert, having trouble concentrating, relationship issues, a suicide attempt, and a ten-day commitment to a mental institution for killing animals.
This was my legacy for forty years as I suffered from something that was not defined until1980 as PTSD, a full twelve years after I left Vietnam.
The term PTSD is now associated with the legacy of the Vietnam War.
My non-fiction, US history book is about my service in Vietnam, my exposure to Agent Orange, and many decades of dealing with PTSD (Complex PTSD). This is my story of my struggles with many examples of my many issues since 1968. I hope my story helps families dealing with PTSD or Complex PTSD to know what PTSD is and help you heal and learn how to deal and cope with PTSD.

About the Book
A dark ritual. Werewolves on my trail. A single chance to uncover the truth…
Cameron Blaze is my name, living on the edge is my game. Acquiring an ancient artifact? Sure, I like old stuff. Procuring a precious? I’ve got some sticky fingers right here. I will do pretty much anything to make rent and will enjoy the hell out of the ride as I go.
When werewolves turn up in New Orleans for the first time in living memory, I was curious. When they start to disrupt my business, I was annoyed. But when they come at me? I’m ready to open a can of whoop-the-wolf, no matter the consequences.
Adding to my canine conundrum, ghosts are disappearing from the New Orleans cemeteries and rumors of dark rituals are floating around the seedy underbelly of my city. To top it off, a powerful and mysterious relic has gone missing. A relic that, by all accounts, has the power to tear the veil that separates this world from the next to shreds.
With time running out and lives on the line, will I be able to find this ancient relic before all hell is set loose on my city?

This volume of 31 poems was written as reflections on and considerations of traditional Stoicism. Topics range from morality, community and the cosmos to vexation, vicissitudes and death.
The spirit of this book is that of reference and encouragement – whether read as one poem each day or all in one sitting, its goal is to show one’s life as a part of a larger whole which extends beyond humanity, to inspire progress instead of perfection, and to embolden the reader to improve their moral character daily.
The Way, Vol. I was written while taking inspiration from the discourses of Epictetus, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, Letters and On Anger by Seneca, the philosophy of Chrysippus, as well as analyses of these and a few other works. Each poem is a compilation of 7 haikus covering one topic collectively.
Targeted Age Group:: 18+
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Originally I wasn't going to share this with people. I wrote it as reminders to myself about how to improve my moral character each day, and a few of my friends and coworkers said they wanted a copy on their coffee table, which blew me away. One thing led to another, and I published the physical copy and the ebook was the next logical step.

About the book:
Lights in the darkness, shadows in daylight, she has seen them all her life, and feared them. Can she break free now? Does she really want to?
Sophie Ramos has always thought she was cursed and maybe crazy. Even her mother doubted her when she was a child. Priests and psychiatrists doubted her too. But psychics tried to recruit Sophie to enrich and empower themselves.
Now she’s thirty-two, living on her own, keeping her secret from everyone except her mother and a few close friends. But a threatening specter begins to visit her at night, and more than her sleep is at stake.
She follows a friend’s recommendation to visit Detta Washington, a church lady who believes in the spirit realm. Detta becomes convinced that Sophie sees angels and demons. Even if Sophie is skeptical about Detta’s labels for what she sees, she comes to respect the older woman.
When Sophie helps free Detta from an incurable disease and releases two of her friends from creepy creatures shadowing them, Sophie starts to embrace her identity. But she still needs help with the ghoul that hovers above her bed at night. And that’s not the last enemy who will threaten her in the dark.
Recovering from a life of being condemned as a crazy person, Sophie finds new confidence. She is gifted. She is the girl who sees angels.

It’s a magical book club! When this group chooses a book, magic happens. The mystery comes to life, and they find themselves part of the story. To exit the book and get back home, they need to solve the mystery and reach The End.
This time, the club chooses a book called The Great Cake Rivalry, because, well … cake! They read the back cover and it’s unanimous. So off they go into another grand adventure into a town aptly named Frosting.
Frosting is a rural town in an idyllic setting. The people live quiet lives most of the year. But in the spring, things change. The Annual Cake Competition becomes the focus of every man, woman, and child. They take this competition seriously. The cakes are spectacular. The festival is fabulous. For a week there are contests featuring all kinds of cakes. The people of the community become official tasters and vote for the winning cakes in each category.
The grand finale is a display of finely decorated cakes, made by the town’s bakeries. The winner of the best design receives a prize package that would make any baker dizzy.
Sadly, this event has been tainted. Once a year, each one different, but all somehow related to this event, a person is murdered. The main investigator is stumped, but that could be because he’s an inept buffoon.
Can the book club help the people of this community figure out who is causing this disturbing pattern of deaths, and stop another murder from happening? Can they figure out why some of the citizens dress so oddly, and why they always wear those unique backpacks? All while they fill themselves to the brim with cake, of course.

About the Book
Fireballs! Flaming swords! Holy Fire! And a rogue who likes knives and poison maybe a bit too much…
Dark things have started to rise again around the little town of Ravenford. These nightmarish forces prove too much for poor Glolindir, an elven wizard fresh out of his books. Thankfully, he’s not alone. A halfling “ninja”, a kind Gnomish cleric, a tall human warrior, and a couple of amorous elves are some of the friends keeping him alive in the real world.
Fierce monsters, deadly assassins, and dark mages fall one after the other to these young heroes with their out-of-control fire spells and poison-tipped daggers. Still, those don’t work quite as well against dragons and demons. Can they live up to the challenge or will Ravenford be left at the mercy of these forces of darkness?

Have you ever felt stuck as a leader? What if the one thing holding you back was the very thing holding your team back? Have you ever been overwhelmed by the many philosophies of great leadership?
Many strive for a management role, but very few actually get good at it once they’re in the position. Most tend to overinvest in sales and recruiting while underinvesting in developing quality leaders. They fail to understand that the deficiencies of the leader are acting as a kink in the hose on the results of the team. You don’t have a sales problem; you have a leadership problem! The tools in this book help readers identify their deficiencies in a positive, constructive way so they can overcome them to unlock their full leadership potential.
Alec Nethercott has been a student and practitioner of leadership for two decades. Over the course of building a company with 400+ employees, he learned valuable (albeit painful) lessons along the way. Written from his experiences and research, Core-4 Leadership: The Master Formula for Sales Managers and Potential Leaders contains a proven methodology for developing the best leadership possible for maximum results. Some of the principles recounted came as breakthroughs at a time Nethercott needed them most.
He is passionate about the lessons in his book, and he is beyond excited to share them with others. Readers, you are in for inspiring stories, aha moments and relevant content that will help get you unstuck and feeling confident in your career.

And in the hustle and bustle of routine and responsibilities, we all seem to blend into one. Like the rat in the race or the sheep that follows the herd, fearing to flap the wings that cause the butterfly effect.
The fact is, you have a magnificent story to share with the world, a story that could touch the hearts of others and have a lasting impact.
The problem is, your story is like a book; bright and shiny when new but then left on the shelf to gather dust. Even when plucked from the shelf, you might not get past dusting off the cover to reach the first page.
There is another issue. You may have committed to exploring your personal story, but, just as after an exhausting day, you find yourself stuck on the same page. You aren’t moving forward, you may even be reading the same page!
Whether you can’t find your way to opening the cover or you are reading the same page over and over again, life is too short not to figure out how to turn the next page!
When the big questions in life hold you back from unlocking your story, it’s time to unshelve that book and revel in the power of your words.
In this eye-opening handbook to self-discovery and empowerment, you will discover:
The unique U.N.S.H.E.L.V.E. acronym that guides you through the principles of unveiling your true self
Why now is the time to act and how not to let fear and procrastination stop you from making small yet significant changes
Questions to embrace self-reflection with honesty and accept the fact that humans are naturally imperfect
7 tips to practice self-love so that it becomes part of your daily life and you can see that you are enough
A 30-day challenge to create goals, script your future life, and make sure you reach your destination
The power of self-belief and your internal attitude for unwavering confidence and a genuinely more positive outlook on life
Why conflicts in relationships shouldn’t be avoided and how to resolve them the healthy way
The importance of continuing your journey by helping others unshelve themselves, providing an empathetic ear as they share their unique stories
Inspiring quotes from people all over the world from all walks of life, past and present
And much more.
You might think nothing is thrilling about your story, but you couldn’t be further from the truth!
Your story deserves development. Your life deserves to be lived to the fullest. Nothing in life is guaranteed, but you have the choice… is your story one of the sheep or one of the butterfly who flaps their wings, changes their direction, and clears the path for others?

About the book:
Raising Evandar, a baby dragon, in secret is no easy task, especially with danger crowding in from every direction.
In a world where magic and danger intertwine, Zia and her magician companion, Jakari, face a daunting task: raising the only baby dragon in a thousand years—in secret. As they leave their companions to find a sanctuary for Evandar’s growth, they plunge into a labyrinth of peril.
But safety remains elusive as sinister forces interfere. Hunted by men wielding enchanted blades and believing Jakari dead, Zia is left to find a way into a system of caves where the missing prince is being held. Entrusting Evandar to her winged horse, Starwind, for safekeeping, she strikes a desperate bargain, becoming a servant to a corrupt Squire magician so she can gain entry into his lair.
Amidst the echoing tunnels of a mountain range, where she hoped to nurture Evandar in peace, Zia grapples with her newfound servitude while still harboring a desperate mission: to locate and rescue Xavier, the captive prince, and raise the dragon to his full potential.
In this gripping tale of loyalty, sacrifice, and the bonds of magic, with adventure, action, magic and epic battles, Zia must summon all her strength and cunning to protect the dragon she loves, save the imprisoned prince, and unravel mysteries that threaten to consume them all.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I've always loved reading sci fi and fantasy. My favorite series is the Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan and his rich writing inspired me to try my hand at epic fantasy. I also thought there weren't enough books written about winged horses, so I decided to write a series of my own to feature them plus many other animals.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
My main character is modelled after someone I'd want to be, a strong female lead who's compassionate and only wants to save her siblings, not intending to try and save her country, also, but might actually do that. She gave up her own dreams of being a horse trainer to take care of her family after her mother died.
Since I love animals, especially dogs, cats, and horses (and not necessarily in that order), I wanted to feature a character who bonds to them where they work together in friendship. She also has a way of inspiring loyalty from those she meets and she's not even trying for that.
I hope my antagonists are the people you'll hate and that my protagonists are the ones you'll cheer for and want to know more about.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
As the mother of three daughters, I lived through those strange and wonderful teenage years. That's what inspired me to write a young adult (crossover to adult) story involving brothers (for some reason I chose brothers not sisters) who rely on each other, but still argue, like real teenagers. I placed them in very difficult situations that they have to overcome, together and sometimes alone. But throughout, they build their relationship even more.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I developed these characters from seeing the teenage boys my daughters hung out with, or didn't hang out with! I'd attended numerous school functions, so got to see firsthand what modern teens do and how they act.

I was fascinated by the concept of duality within individuals—the idea that everyone has both a light and a dark side. I wanted to explore what happens when someone who's always been 'good' decides to embrace the darker aspects of their personality. The interplay between her background and the mysterious billionaire who guides her added an intriguing dynamic to the story.

I've always been fascinated by how individuals from privileged backgrounds cope with expectations and pressures, and I wanted to explore that complexity.

Lose yourself in the evocative memoir, Holding His Hand: Hope When Life Feels Hopeless, and traverse the emotional journey of Nancy and Jeff Cole. Each of them carries scars from a past marred by loss: Nancy from a marriage she couldn’t salvage, and Jeff from the untimely demise of his cherished wife. Both are wading through the aftermath, never expecting to find solace in love once more.
When Nancy’s young daughter naively inquires about her future stepdad, Nancy is taken aback. That simple question, though startling, sparks a glimmer of hope in her heart.

Her genuineness and vivacious spirit inspire hope, making him ponder the possibility of a shared future.
As the narrative of Holding His Hand: Hope When Life Feels Hopeless unfolds, readers are privy to the couple’s beautiful dance from sorrow to joy. The memoir sheds light on their unique challenges-melding their families together, providing unceasing care for a son with severe autism, and navigating life’s unexpected twists and turns. Through their candid accounts infused with humor and raw emotion, they spotlight the indomitable nature of hope and love. This isn’t just their story-it’s an invitation to every reader to believe that, even in the darkest moments, hope can bloom anew.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Hollywood seems bent on romanticizing life in the Victorian and Regency era, but it was not an easy time to be a woman. Even with a Queen regent, women had no right to vote, mostly couldn't choose who they married, and as a practical matter it wasn't possible to for them own property. But the movement was on: female authors were beginning to publish under their real names; the London National Society for Women's Suffrage and the Manchester National Society for Women's Suffrage were both established in 1867. A young adult historical fantasy about a woman who struggles for agency is timely… and ageless.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I had a general idea of who my main character was, but the other characters and world in which Ada lives came about as supporting roles. She wants a life she cannot have. Her family thinks she'll grow out of it. Her abductor, Nadine, sees Ada's independent streak as an asset as long as she can contain it. And Dieb (the little street waif) became a way for Ada to redeem herself for all the self-perceived sins she must commit in order to survive.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
This book grew out of a 20-year journey of writing and personal experiences while exploring the question of why bad things may happen to good people. It is a story about the shocking contrast between human frailty and an infinitely powerful and sovereign God, who is motivated by a love that is as immense and immeasurable as His power.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The boy, Jimmy, is an unlikely prophet, like many examples in the Bible where God used children in remarkable ways. From Joseph’s early dreams to David’s courageous battle with Goliath and Jesus’ selection of a young man named John, likely not more than a teenager himself, to be one of his closest Disciples. It’s not much of a stretch to think that His most significant work still to come could be accomplished through some of the weakest among us.

About Featured Book: Hell for Hire by Rachel Aaron
The Crew
A hulked-out wrath demon who eats gamer rage and loves cats, a shapeshifting lust demon who enjoys their food a bit too much, and a void demon who doesn’t see the point of any of this. They’re not the sort of mercenaries you hire on purpose, but Bex wouldn’t trust her life to anyone else.
Ever since the ancient Mesopotamian king Gilgamesh decided death wasn’t for him, killed the gods, and conquered the afterlife, times have been rough for a free demon. But the denizens of the Nine Hells aren’t the quitting sort, and Bex and her team have been choking a living out of the Eternal King’s lackeys for years. It’s not honest work, but when Heaven itself declares you a non-person, you smash-and-grab what you can get.
This next gig looks like more of the same…until Bex meets the client.
The Job
Adrian Blackwood is a witch with a problem. His family has skirted the edges of King Gilgamesh’s ire for centuries, but thanks to a decision he made as a child, Adrian is personally responsible for putting his entire coven in Heaven’s crosshairs.
Determined to set things right, Adrian drags his broom, caldron, and talking cat thousands of miles across the country to Seattle where he can fight the Eternal King’s warlocks without bringing the rest of his family into the fray. But witchcraft–like all crafts–takes time, and if the warlocks catch
him before his spells are ready, he’s dead. So Adrian does what any professional witch would do and hires a team of mercenaries to keep the warlocks off his back. He didn’t expect to get demons, but when you’re already on the killing-edge of Heaven’s bad side, what’s a bit more fuel on the fire?
Sometimes, you get more than you paid for.
Neither Adrian nor Bex knew what to expect when they signed their contract, but witch-plus-demon turns out to be a match made in the Hells. With this much chaos at their fingertips, even impossible dreams start to come back into reach, because Bex wasn’t always a mercenary. She used to be the Eternal
King of Heaven’s biggest nightmare, and now that she’s got a witch in her corner, it’s time to put the old magics back on the field and show Adrian Blackwood just how much hell he’s hired.

A dark ritual. Werewolves on my trail. A single chance to uncover the truth…
Cameron Blaze is my name, living on the edge is my game. Acquiring an ancient artifact? Sure, I like old stuff. Procuring a precious? I’ve got some sticky fingers right here. I will do pretty much anything to make rent and will enjoy the hell out of the ride as I go.
When werewolves turn up in New Orleans for the first time in living memory, I was curious. When they start to disrupt my business, I was annoyed. But when they come at me? I’m ready to open a can of whoop-the-wolf, no matter the consequences.
Adding to my canine conundrum, ghosts are disappearing from the New Orleans cemeteries and rumors of dark rituals are floating around the seedy underbelly of my city. To top it off, a powerful and mysterious relic has gone missing. A relic that, by all accounts, has the power to tear the veil that separates this world from the next to shreds.
With time running out and lives on the line, will I be able to find this ancient relic before all hell is set loose on my city?
Targeted Age Group:: Adult
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
My inspiration for this book came from my lifelong love of fantasy and myths, combined with the vibrant setting of New Orleans. I adore with the rich, supernatural backdrop of this iconic city and I wanted to create a story that blends the dark humor and fast-paced adventure set there.
Living on the edge and tackling challenges head-on, much like my main character Cameron Blaze, is something I've always enjoyed in my own life. This book and the following series is my way of weaving together my passions for adventure, mythology, and the magic of storytelling.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The characters in my story are a delightful mishmash of my own mishaps, folklore, and the beautiful chaos of trying to get things right while making mistakes and learning along the way. Cameron Blaze, for example, is the daring, resourceful troublemaker I wish I could be, with a knack for finding humor in the darkest situations. The werewolves, ghosts, and other supernatural characters are borrowed from the myths and legends that have filled my imagination since I was a kid. I wanted my cast of characters to reflect the wild, colorful tapestry of New Orleans, with its melting pot of cultures, spooky history, and supernatural shenanigans. Through these characters, I hope to create a world that's as unpredictably magical as a gnome prank gone wrong.

What readers are calling the gay Eat, Pray, Love…
Sometimes, to find yourself, you must first burn everything down.
Karl had it all; a husband, a home in the Los Angeles Hills, success. When his marriage ended suddenly, his perfect life and sense of self were shattered.
His legal battles threatened everything he had, and he soon found himself working non-stop, leading to a downward spiral filled with anxious days and sleepless nights of rage and fear.
Ironically, Karl’s divorce ignited a journey of self-discovery—a quest for identity, love, and acceptance that took him from LA to a mid-divorce crash-landing in Berlin.
This raw and unflinching memoir welcomes readers into the heart of Karl’s transformative journey—burning the scripts written for him by both the gay and straight worlds, facing down his deepest fears, and forging his own path to self-love.
How To Burn A Rainbow is a gripping narrative of resilience and courage that dares to ask the hard questions about love, equality, and the price of happiness.
In the end, Karl’s marriage didn’t make him whole, his divorce did.

How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Some were at least loosely based on real people. Others popped up and were at first, minor or temporary, but then developed into important characters that very much facilitated the twists and turns in the story. They all became alive, personable, and believable, which greatly helped bring the novel to life.

About the Book
Kat’s southern charm sent muscle spasms all over my body. She smelled like apple pie. I was anxious to know if she tasted like one too.
I felt star struck when Troy walked on the elevator.
Where did this man come from, I can feel my mouth watering.
My mind clears instantaneously while admiring him, I envision him taking me behind closed doors.
I’m nearing my thirties, not married, still in therapy learning how to deal with past trauma.
This man made me forget with one glimpse from his gorgeous, contagious smile.
Tongue tied with embarrassment I introduced myself as “Kitty Kat.”
Troy’s facial expression turned inquisitive, locking his eyes on mine.
A low sultry tone escaped his lip, “do you purr like a kitty?”
His arm wrapped around my waist, as I felt my legs buckling.
Anticipation flows through me, as a lifetime of daydreams and desires flash before my eyes.
Wait, is this the new Boss…

Steven Madrid’s beautiful, straight to the point awesome tale, of how he and six of his dearest friends, just some regular, cool, hang-out buddies, discovered, then opened the door to new possibilities beyond the ordinary by reading all of Carlos Castaneda’s Books. How they followed and verified all that Carlos Castaneda wrote about the Warrior’s Way and entered the “Magical World.” Including a rare meeting with Carlos Castaneda himself.
A daring exploration into the very heart of what creates us as human and how we can reach our unlimited potential. Of the true nature of our being and the ultimate power coursing within us. Of an exquisite fulfillment beyond comprehension.
Here, it is revealed how we and our serious taken-for-granted shared reality, what appears to be solid matter, is only a flimsy construct, like projected light, that we all are forced to live. A mere script, like a movie or TV show projected onto a screen, barely existent. The flimsy figment of imagination of the fantastic conscious nothingness that creates all the rules for all that exists.
Here, Steven Madrid and his cohorts uncover the very “intent” of the energy that forces us to be the way we are. Like computer generated waves and fractals endlessly replicating themselves to create any landscape, any “form.” To their personal reality-shattering experience with the very consciousness of the “Ultimate Source Of All There Is” that creates and is responsible for “All That Exists.”
Targeted Age Group:: 18 Years Of Age and Above.

The past may not be done with us. Anna Dahlberg grew up eating dinner under her father’s war-trophy portrait of Eva Braun. Fifty years after WW2, she discovers what he never did—that her mother and Hitler’s mistress were friends. The secret surfaces with a mysterious monogrammed handkerchief, and a man, Hannes Ritter, whose Third Reich family history is entwined with Anna’s.

About Featured Book: Rational Theism, Part One: An A Priori Proof in God’s Existence, Omniscient and Omnipotent (A Science of Metaphysics in Answer to the Challenge of Immanuel Kant) by Mikhail Kelnikov
A ‘Theory of Everything’ from metaphysics, the branch of philosophy that alone can provide any such TOE; and as a Science of Metaphysics that adheres to the critical demands of Immanuel Kant, it accounts for the origination of the four universal features that define our reality, namely: space, time, mass (matter of substance), and mind (or consciousness). It also necessitates (unfortunately for atheists) the existence of God as Absolute Mind and Absolute Being and the Creator of all that there is is.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Morgan's inspiration for writing this book stems from her love for exciting locales, diverse cultures, and adrenaline-packed adventures. Her stories come alive with the thrill of romance intertwined with danger, promising readers an exhilarating ride to a happily ever after.
Creating characters for a story like this involves drawing from various inspirations and weaving them into a cohesive narrative. For the protagonist caught in the cartel war, I envisioned someone with a complex background, perhaps a former member of the cartel who is now trying to atone for past sins. Their decision to rescue the amnesiac witness is driven by a mix of guilt, compassion, and a desire for redemption.
The female lead, suffering from amnesia, is designed to be a mystery unto herself. Her vulnerability and lack of memory make her a compelling character, as she navigates a dangerous world without knowing who she can trust. The dynamic between her and the protagonist is layered with tension, as they grapple with their pasts and the growing attraction between them.
The antagonist, the ruthless hitman who is the female lead's brother, adds another layer of complexity to the story. His presence raises the stakes and adds a sense of urgency as he hunts down his sister and anyone associated with her.
The pregnancy twist introduces an additional element of vulnerability and responsibility, forcing the characters to confront their own desires and priorities amidst the chaos of the cartel conflict.
Overall, the characters in this story are shaped by their pasts, their relationships with each other, and the dangerous world they inhabit, creating a gripping tale of love, danger, and redemption
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Morgan's characters are born from a passion for captivating landscapes, rich cultures, and heart-pounding escapades. Drawing from these inspirations, she crafts a narrative where romance dances with danger, promising readers an electrifying journey to a happily ever after.
The protagonist emerges as a figure ensnared in the shadows of a cartel conflict, a nuanced persona with a turbulent history. Perhaps once part of the cartel's fold, now seeking redemption through rescuing an amnesiac witness. It's a tale woven with threads of guilt, empathy, and the yearning for a second chance.
The enigmatic female lead, shrouded in amnesia, becomes a focal point of intrigue. Her vulnerability and quest for identity amidst perilous surroundings create a riveting dynamic. Every step she takes, every decision she makes, adds layers to the suspenseful narrative.
Enter the ruthless hitman, the female lead's estranged brother turned antagonist. His relentless pursuit injects urgency into the storyline, heightening the stakes and keeping readers on the edge of their seats.
And then, the unexpected twist of pregnancy introduces yet another dimension, challenging the characters' resolve and priorities amidst the chaos of their world.
These characters, shaped by their pasts and entangled in complex relationships, form the backbone of a gripping saga. Morgan's narrative promises a thrilling blend of love, peril, and the quest for redemption that will captivate readers from start to finish.

A riveting tale of revenge, survival and redemption, wrapped around an unlikely love story and set against an urban backdrop corrupted by violence against women and racism.
Following a racially motivated rape by three Ku Klux Klansmen, 12-year-old Desiree Devine vows revenge. After eight years of training, now a strikingly beautiful assassin, she accomplishes her mission.
Her campaign continues with solitary walks through dark city streets, hoping to be assaulted by men with bad intentions. Those entrapped in her spider’s web pay dearly for their efforts.
Surrounded by three white men one night, she’s rescued by Tony Marino, an Italian-American passerby. A stormy roller-coaster relationship ensues. Ultimately, as her rage matures into purposeful action, and as he begins to see the world through her eyes, they become a team.
Along the way, they encounter serial killers, wife-beaters, actual and would-be rapists, gangsters, crooked cops, a kidnapper and a pedophile priest, as well as numerous women in desperate need of their help. Beneath all the action, though, is the blossoming of a most unusual love story.

What Marie didn’t know is that this gorgeous man—a mafioso—had a reason to get close to her.
He was on a special revenge mission—and she was his target.

This book draws inspiration from a dear friend of mine who selflessly sacrificed her career, social life, and dating prospects to care for her sick mother. It was heartbreaking to witness how, her mother, the once charming woman had been transformed into someone bitter and resentful due to her suffering. With my friend's blessing, I loosely based my book on her journey. In it, I introduced a dark, alluring, and dangerous mafia character (given her love for mafia movies) who would ultimately bring positive change to her life.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Matteo, the mafia character, sprang from my immersion in numerous mafia movies. Marie, on the other hand, drew from the kindness and selflessness of my friend, blended with additional traits inspired by romcom movies and true crime documentaries. As for Marie's mother, she was a mixture of various unpleasant individuals I've observed or encountered, including some not-so-nice folks from my hospital experience.

About the Book
Deep within each of us lies an infinite potential, a vast inner universe waiting to be explored and unleashed upon the world. Yet for most, this innate power remains shackled by the mental prisons we inhabit – constructs of fear, doubt, trauma, and limiting beliefs that confine our spirit.
In her searing memoir, “Unshackle Your Mind,” Kathryn Rollins takes us on a transformative odyssey to demolish these psychological shackles, forging a path to true liberation from suffering. With unflinching candor, she excavates the depths of her own descent into chaos and emerges as a sage guide for all who dare to awaken.
What makes this book a literary defibrillator is Kathryn’s refusal to skim the surface with trite self-help advice. She detonates the very bedrock of how we think about pain, fear, and the mental loops preventing transcendence. Through her powerfully vulnerable storytelling, we experience firsthand the process she underwent to shatter the invisible chains binding her mind.
From escaping the clutches of cult indoctrination to confronting inner demons of mental disorders, each turn of the page awakens us to our own possibilities. This is not a polite whisper, but a primal scream piercing the veil of constructed realities and limiting narratives.
“Unshackle Your Mind” is an uncompromising look at what fuels human suffering and how to obliterate it by living in radical truth. It is both a manifesto for psychological emancipation and an emboldening call to embrace the terrifying, infinite freedom that awaits. Brace yourself as Kathryn drags your deepest fears into the searing light, allowing you nowhere to hide from your own boundless potential.

King Cosmo Septimus of Septima: ruler, leader…
Fool.
In truth, the kingdom has been under the authority of the Commune for some years—a ruthless government whose leader, the Grand Magister, holds the king under his control.
Enter a world where the powers gifted to mortals by an ancient god present themselves in unsuspecting members of the kingdom, and where the Grand Magister will do everything to ensure they are brought under his sway or executed as traitors.
In this short story, you will begin to understand just why King Cosmo is unable to fight against the ruthless guidance of a selfish, power-hungry man.
And why it may be hopeless for him to even try.
The King’s Decree is part of the world of The Commune’s Curse series, and is set three years before the first book in the series, Awakening, which is available now. Book 2 is due for release in late 2024, so now’s a great time to delve into this dark fantasy series!

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
This is a sequel to my first book in the Mary Jameson Supernatural Thriller Series called; Psychic Voices. Inspiration for me, always comes from many sources, I often dream beginnings or endings of stories, or read about an event or news. This book was a combination of day dreaming and my imagination continuing on from where I left my main character, Mary, at the end of book 1.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I think, like most writers, I'm observant and while I wouldn't say my characters are based on real people, sometimes there might be a certain quality or habit that I make a mental note of, or a characteristic that I notice. Then, when I write, the characters just seem to flow and all those little traits or quirks here or there that I've subconsciously recorded amalgamate into one, and form a character.

About Featured Book: PLAYS RIDICULOUS MUSIC; Memories of my Mother by Raina Luray
Growing up, she had always felt like an outsider among her peers. Her mother’s erratic behavior and her grandmother’s strict discipline made it difficult for her to fit in. As she got older, she rebelled against their authority and sought out thrills and danger.
At 18, she thought she had found the solution to her problems in a charming young man. They quickly got married and had three children, but their relationship was filled with infidelity. Feeling adrift and alone, she turned to exotic dancing as a way to
help her husband and children. But then something unexpected happened.
She discovered faith in God. At first, she resisted, thinking it was just another form of control. But as she delved deeper into the teachings, she realized it wasn’t about control. It was about finding love, forgiveness, and inner peace.
She devoted herself to serving others, using her tumultuous past to help those struggling. Despite all of her hardships, she never forgot where she came from, but she refused to let it define her. Even when tragedy struck, and her mother was murdered, she held onto her faith, knowing that God was by her side through the darkest of times.
Through this book, she hoped to show the world that she was more than just a woman confined to a wheelchair. She was a person with an extraordinary story of pain, resilience, and ultimately redemption. And above all else, she wanted to share that story with anyone who needed to hear it.

Anthony Weathers was told a story years ago. Upon hearing it, he felt compelled to write a novel based on the true events. This novel delves into themes of domestic abuse and violence, shedding light on the social taboos and inequalities of the time. Step into the haunting world of Why Ruin Another Life, a riveting tale that transports you to 1950s Black Mississippi.
Brace yourself for a captivating generational odyssey where a single event has the power to reshape destinies. Witness the gripping narrative unfold as an unsuspecting Black woman ignites a chain reaction of profound consequences, forever altering the lives of her daughter, granddaughter, and all those caught in the turbulent whirlwind. Prepare to be swept away by the thunderstorm of repercussions that echoes through generations, teaching valuable yet painfully expensive lessons along the way.
Targeted Age Group:: 20+
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I felt compelled to highlight in book form the stories passed down to me through the years from the black women of my lineage.
Even though my book is considered realistic fiction, the story was written from true events from my great-grandmother, my grandmother, my mother passed to her daughter, and generations of trauma, abuse, and domestic violence.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
All the stories are based on true events, but the names of the women's characters have been changed.
I originally wrote this book from a screenplay I had written years ago and felt it would make a great book. It shares how long generational domestic abuse and trauma behind closed doors were prevalent but taboo to talk about to others way back in the 40s and 50s. I am sure it goes back farther than that.

Heat/Violence Level: Heat Level 1 – G Rated Clean Read
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I've been an avid reader all my life, and mysteries are my favorite. The ideas for the stories and characters in the Liz Adam Mystery Series often come to me while I journal in the mornings. Charleston SC, Private Investigator Liz Adams' home, is one of my favorite places in the world. Carmel-by-the-Sea holds a special place in my heart. My husband and I renewed our wedding vows there.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Liz's sidekick, Duke, was actually inspired by our own Labrador retriever, Eve. Although she can't detect when people aren't telling the truth, she's a communicator. She howls the words 'I love you' for her breakfast in the morning.
In the first book, Charleston Conundrum, our dear friends and former neighbors, Tony and Linda, asked to be in the story. I'm currently working on Cayman Conundrum. The police commissioner, Aaron Holmes, is loosely based on another friend who wanted to be included.
Most of my characters are a mixture of the many people I've met over the years and my imagination.

I have long been an admirer of both Celtic and Norse pre-Christian culture, and mythology. It is a fantasy category not well represented. I hope this and future books will address this issue and bring the ways of these people more to light while also providing a good story and characters.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Tara and Alaric are characters first conceived by my husband and myself while we were still dating many years ago. Their first story was very different in some ways than this final story, but their enduring love through many trials has stayed the same. Other supporting characters come from Irish and Norse culture of about the 900's C.E.

In this sequel to Stonebridge, it is 1959, and Rynna Wyatt’s abusive husband Jason has fallen to his death after a fight with his bookish, disabled cousin Ted Demeray. The police would like to know exactly what happened, but it’s impossible to tell the whole truth. Jason’s death doesn’t end his relationship with them. Rynna is pregnant with his child and traumatized by his abuse. She and Ted leave Stonebridge Manor to start a new life in Brenford, where Ted teaches at the university, but Jason’s restless spirit follows and haunts Rynna’s dreams. He wants her back. He wants revenge. And he wants his son. How can Ted and Rynna oppose his claims and finally put him to rest?
Targeted Age Group:: Adult
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
After I finished Stonebridge, I spent four months compulsively rewriting the ending. The only way I could get myself to stop was to wonder how Ted and Rynna would explain Jason's death to the police and begin the sequel at that point.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Ted was based on someone I loved, and I suppose Rynna to some degree represents me–a woman who is far from perfect but has the good taste to finally fall in love with him.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The love of writing itself. And the complex process of turning imagination into a living thing on paper that can be shared. I am finally able to fulfill my dream of writing full-time. It's a good thing. When I was struck with the idea for the series titled, 'The Other Shoes of Larry Martin,' I realized that by the time I was done, this series would come in between 4,000 to 5,000 pages, spread over at least seven books. And that is exactly what is happening.
Larry Martin is, for me, just monumental.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I am blessed with a vivid Technicolor imagination. To develop characters and write, I watch a movie of my story in my mind and transcribe what I see. As I watch, I am careful not to get in my characters' way. They often surprise me and show me things I'd not think of.
These movies could be just a scene or an entire chapter. But to keep the plot and details straight, I take exhaustive notes in a notebook and often refer back to this notebook. Larry is a fun main character, and I never know what he will do next!

About the book:
An innocent man. A traitor’s crime. Proving himself not guilty could cost too many lives…
Vietnam, 1966. Ethan Card bleeds loyalty. But despite his unswerving allegiance, the Recon Marine still falls dangerously hard for a beautiful local girl trained to kill Americans. And when a rogue CIA agent blackmails him with evidence of their trysts, the stone-cold fighter is horrified to realize that both sides want them dead.
Doing the unthinkable and deserting his brothers in arms to save her skin, Ethan pulls his lover out of a nest of enemy combatants and flees through the humid, hungry jungle. But with torture-happy psychopaths closing in, warring armies planning their demise, and boltholes collapsing by the minute, their mission to find a safe haven could prove fatal.
With everything on the line, will Ethan’s race to survival end as a gut-wrenching casualty of war?
Running with the Enemy is a relentless suspense thriller. If you like cat-and-mouse tension, crackling action, and a touch of forbidden romance, then you’ll delight in Lloyd Lofthouse’s gritty escape plan.

Opportunists, terrorists, and corrupt politics.
In a world of espionage, deception, betrayal, terrorism, and murder, Dydre uses the next assignment Zsigmond gives her—the deliverance of new technology to terrorists—to escape his merciless grip.
Dydre, a single mother, is caught up in a world she doesn’t want. Her boss Clayborne Zsigmond—a black market arms dealer—uses her six-year-old son as a pawn to keep her in line. Visitation is a reward for her obedient behavior.
Forced to deal with the worst terrorists and dictators around the world, she uses disguises and a deadly poison to give her an edge in dealing with those that want to kill her. To stay alive she has honed her skills that few could defeat.
When an opportunity occurs to break free from Zsigmond, she moves fast but the risks she takes puts her on the firing line when her plan goes deadly wrong, and success looks bleak. Those she thought she could trust betray her. Not only is her life in jeopardy but also her son’s as she finds herself pitted against Zsigmond, his mercenaries, a double-crossing businessman, terrorists, the FBI, and a man from the Department of Defense.

“A harrowing and unforgettable FBI thriller.” –BestThrillers.com
Three fourteen-year-old boys are inextricably linked by abduction and murder.
Two boys were just abducted off a safe suburban street. Kelliher and his team of FBI agents have 24 hours to find them or they’ll end up like all the others… dead! They have no leads, no clues, and nothing to go on. And the possibility exists that one of his team members might be involved. A fourth boy, George Tokay, a Navajo, holds a key piece to this puzzle and doesn’t realize it.
Kelliher and his team have been on this case for two years. There isn’t much to go on, and each time he gets a break, potential witnesses are found dead. The stories of these boys are like loose threads on a sweater: pull the wrong one and it unravels completely.
Slowly, Kelliher realizes that there may be one or more members of his team behind it all.

Bel Lucy might be the wildly successful owner of Bella Publishing, specializing in romances, steamy and sweet, but she doesn’t believe in love. Bel certainly doesn’t believe in love after a wrong turn in the haunted Castle by the Sea lands her in fourteenth-century Ireland where she is forced to endure the company of the musclebound—not to mention poorly groomed—knight, Alaric DeLaMer.
In a time of famine and civil war, Alaric proves to be Bel’s protector while dismissing Bel as a prickly creature who delights in goading him with ridiculous tales. When a duplicitous alchemist sends Bel back to the 21st century, Bel discovers she can never be happy in any time or place—unless its beside Alaric, the complete opposite of Bel’s imagined romance heroes.
Realizing she was happier in the 14th century, Bel risks everything to battle her way back to Alaric but will her eternal beloved be waiting in his Castle by the Sea?
Targeted Age Group:: 21+
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
After having written several books about fourteenth century England, I wanted to see what was going on in medieval Ireland! I like time travels because I can contrast contemporary mores with past. And what castle is not home to ghosts of some sort? I also am not a fan of cookie-cutter romances where the characters behave toward each other the way real human beings never would. Guess I'm more interested in an actual "love story" than stereotypical "romance."
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I like to play with characters who think they know what they want in life, and then are so very surprised that, once they achieve their goals, they're disappointed. That's Bel Lucy, who fights falling in love with a man because he is antithetical to the romance heroes that inhabit the pages of her romance lines. And I like Alaric because he is firmly a creature of the fourteenth century, with all its customs and attitudes. I enjoyed the banter between them, along with the gradual realization that they had to travel through time to find their "eternal beloved."

WHAT DO THE READERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT – The Boy With Strange Eyes?
A Gem Not to be Missed…
I came across this story purely by chance and was sucked in by Kuni’s plight and journey. When I was on the verge of tears by one of the early chapters, I knew this story was worth reading. Kuni is a small, young fisherman with a painful past, a huge heart, and a strong sense of self. The lessons he learns resonate deep in the heart. Please read it for yourself and see.
Wow!…
This novel was fascinating. With fantasy, eastern philosophy, and adventure, this tale had it all. I read the whole story in one sitting and recommended it to all my friends.
Homeschooling Mom…
I am so glad I found this story. It captivates my attention and is pleasing to read. As a homeschooling mom, I love your questions for the youth to link directly to the story. That is what truly great writing is about character development in the reader. Thank you!
Speechless…
Relationships of blood are not always stronger than relationships of the soul. I truly believe this. I can’t put into words how much I enjoy walking through life with this young man. I am at a loss for words.
Other Comments and Excerpts…
This is a very thought-provoking story. It’s very relatable.
The questions to consider at the end of each episode are a great touch.

Targeted Age Group:: 13-65
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I originally wrote this book as a tool for my fellow teachers to use with at-risk youth, to help raise the issues of bias, prejudice, and discrimination. It became popular with home-schooling parents, and older people like it as much as teens. My expectations of a small audience were completely wrong, and I was pleasantly surprised by the story's popularity.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The main protagonist in this story, Kuni, is based on my boyhood. The story combines Eastern culture, philosophy, and martial arts. Other coaches and mentors from my life are the inspiration for many of the characters.

Heat/Violence Level: Heat Level 1 – G Rated Clean Read
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
This book grew out of a 20-year journey of writing and personal experiences while exploring the question of why bad things may happen to good people. It is a story about the shocking contrast between human frailty and an infinitely powerful and sovereign God, who is motivated by a love that is as immense and immeasurable as His power.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The boy, Jimmy, is an unlikely prophet, like many examples in the Bible where God used children in remarkable ways. From Joseph’s early dreams to David’s courageous battle with Goliath and Jesus’ selection of a young man named John. It’s not much of a stretch to think that His most significant work still to come could be accomplished through some of the weakest among us.

About Featured Book: Prison Puzzle Pieces: The realities, experiences and insights of a corrections officer doing his time in Historic Stillwater Prison by Dave Basham
PRISON PUZZLE PIECES (the first of a three volume series) is a non-fiction account of a corrections officer working in Stillwater Prison in Minnesota after he stopped traveling the country performing standup comedy and improv. Through examples, explanations and experiences, he explains how the entire system works, piece by piece, by presenting hundreds of events that occurred in that dysfunctional little city contained within those walls and razor ribbon. His unique perspectives earned him the respect of inmates and officers; on the other hand his life was in constant danger from other inmates and officers for him doing his job ethically.
All of this is presented from the author’s unique perspective. It contains some historic background and events pertaining to that prison; such as the infamous Younger Brothers. There is no way to explain every aspect of this restricted society, but these books come close. Many of the things that go on in the prison that have life and death consequences and are shocking can also have a very humorous side. Background on the officer is given to help you to understand how he made his decisions, whether you agree with them or not. Officers are gradually educated through strange and bizarre experiences on the job that can’t be imagined. Letters from the inmates to the officer give insight to their various states of mind. You will learn of the different areas of the prison such as visiting, shakedown, dining hall, cell blocks, segregation, etc., how it all works and what goes on there that can be inspiring or downright disgusting. Many strange relationship dynamics exist like the officers best mentor being a convicted mass murderer, inmates that break their code and have his back, the institutions most feared inmate becoming his friend, corrupt officers harassing him and deliberately placing him in dangerous situations, and inmate relationships of all sorts. Nothing is embellished. Nothing need be embellished.

The earth has been shriveling and dying for thousands of years, and unless Ròna and the Children of the Mother can put a stop to the plundering by the PieceTakers of the Monstrato Corps, the Wayp — the last refuge of life on earth — will be lost as well.
In the aftermath of The Great Melt, what is left of the natural environment stands on the brink of extinction. Yet, amidst the desolation, the Wayp remains a lone refuge far above the burnt-lands of the DownBlow: a green haven protected by Ròna, the guardian of the forest, and “sister” of the Mother. A hard enough duty during the best of times, but now on a planet long ago devastated by global warming and environmental degradation, her mission is more critical than ever as she faces the most recent onslaught from the ruthless Monstrato Corps.
Ròna, the red-haired, speckle-cheeked heroine of this history of the future, forms an unbreakable bond with Cuilean, her childhood friend turned gladiator in the arenas of the DownBlow. They’ve known each other since they were children – and throughout that time, they’ve been friends, then enemies, and then lost to each other, but as they’ve grown older, their love for each other has grown against a backdrop of dangerous adventures and perilous escapades, revealing the resilience of their love and passion even in the face of overwhelming adversity.
Ride with Ròna on her enchanting unihorn mount; shudder to the horrific roar of saber-tooth tiger; face off with Cuilean against the charging bull-monster known as the mìneotarbh; and join them both in the struggle to save what little remains of a living world after the Great Melt brought about the collapse of the planet’s environment thousands of years before;
An epic science fiction fantasy adventure retrieved from the mists of time yet to come. A tale as enchanting as it is foreboding. Immerse yourself this story that transcends fiction, shedding light on the shadows of our future. The Girl who Rode the Unihorn is not just a novel; it’s a prophecy unraveling before your eyes. Set in a world yet to come, the world we know having been devastated by the consequences of our own actions today, this is adrenaline-pumping adventure and a passionate romance against all odds, all while offering an unsettling glimpse into what awaits humanity in the not too-distant future.
The Girl who Rode the Unihorn is a coming-of-age story and a love story and an adventure story unlike any other. It’s the history of our Mother Earth’s future. It’s a chilling prophecy based on the trajectory that our planet is on towards environmental catastrophe. A warning and a call to action that is rooted in real events unfolding in our time, every page takes us a step closer to unveiling the mysteries of a future yet to unfold. A research-authenticated vision of the future catastrophe fated to befall our Mother Earth unless we take action to save her, this novel compels us

Of course, there are several different impetuses — besides just wanting to write something, but eventually after playing around with many different approaches and different stories, I focused on a crucial issue in our day and time — and that is the devastation we are wreaking upon our environment, and how the communication about what's called "global warming" (though it entails so much more than just 'warming') is so often couched in abstractions and scientific terminology, which are difficult to relate to. Hence — this book, which attempts to depict in human terms, story terms, the reality that faces humanity and the planet: It is not a story, it is a vision of the future, a chronicle of the future foretold.

Discover Ànifa’s thrilling tale in the first part of the Rebalancing the Cosmos series.
Eklatros is a peaceful planet, untouched by war for thousands of years. Throughout the ages since the back-to-back conflicts known as the War for Equality and the Dark War, humans have become soft. Their history has become myth and the magic that was once abundant is fading away.
Now, Eklatros faces its gravest threat yet from an alien horde known as the Gnusar. Cities are being ravaged while the Gnusar’s all-powerful leader slowly corrupts the animals and gods of Eklatros. The planet’s only hope for survival rests in a mysterious elvish woman, simply known as Ànifa. Without any memory of who she is or where she comes from, Ànifa must journey across Eklatros to reclaim her memories while reviving and awakening the planet. Aided by her newfound friends and companions—an elderly sorcerer, a drunken knight, a mysterious man from the past, a foul-mouthed privateer, and others—can Ànifa’s party come together in time to save Eklatros?

When I was a young kid, probably around 5-7, I played with a lot of LEGO. While I enjoyed building the sets, I was far more interested in the mini figures and the stories I could build around those figures. Many of my characters come from those LEGO days. I don't remember how old I was when I started writing down the stories, but I can say that the main storyline dates back to at the very least 6th grade. So I have essentially been writing this story my entire life.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
To piggyback off of the previous response, many of my characters come from LEGO. However, I have a large amount of characters. So the other main sources of inspiration come from my friends and family, as well as Final Fantasy (Mainly 7, 13, and 12). Many other characters are ones that I created because I needed extra characters at the time, but overtime, those characters have turned into so much more than I had ever planned for them.

Having a stark choice of fighting teens on the city streets or helping them find their way in life, Kev Chilton knew which way he wanted to go!
For most of his working life, he was an inner-city cop and detective, concentrating on murder, gun crime, and other serious offences.
However, he joined the police as a 16-year-old cadet and early in his career, he was tasked with helping young offenders, which quickly became his speciality. He noticed that by simply listening to the problems young people were concerned with, the majority were prepared to listen to him back. He built trusting relationships with most, who were happy to listen to and act on his advice. Many responded positively, and they moved confidently into adulthood.
Throughout his police service, he arranged youth clubs, attended schools where he gave talks and maintained an open-door policy, encouraging any young person with a problem to approach him privately afterwards. He also set up and operated specialist juvenile squads geared towards helping those who had gone off the rails. The results were excellent, and he was never happier in his job than when he could redirect a young person’s life onto the right path.
It was a fulfilling time in his life, and it helped him understand the constantly evolving challenges teenagers face as they transition to adulthood. More specifically, as times change, so do the needs and circumstances of young people. Choosing the path of mentorship over the chaos of city streets, he has dedicated his journey to helping teenagers, steering them away from conflict and towards a brighter future.
Through a series of empowering ‘How-to’ guidebooks for teens, Chilton has become a beacon of support for them.
Today, he is proud to utilise his extensive experience to make a positive impact. He is particularly attuned to the unique issues that young people are currently grappling with, and one of his goals is to bridge the gap between them and the adults in their lives.
Today he lives in a cold barn where he constantly fights the elements—a losing battle that keeps him off the streets!

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
My inspiration for Gloria Smiled are the desert quails who live in my native Land of Enchantment. I became acquainted with them during my many walks along the arroyos.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Seeing a covey of quail while on a walk or hike just makes my day. One thing I've noticed is that quails often seem to be scurrying about with important purpose. They are on a mission! Mixing that observation with some imagination is how Gloria Smiled came to be.

About the book:
The first time, my dream romance with the billionaire, star hockey player shattered on the ice he loved playing on.
The second time, I fake married him without knowing we were playing a high-stakes game for keeps.
Cade Elkridge is out of my league.
He’s destined to own a billion-dollar sports team. I’m just a squirrel trying to get a nut.
He’s a playboy. I’m an average girl.
He’s got a smile and body hot enough to melt ice— and the beautiful women around him know it.
Out of the blue, his star came into my orbit. His powerful body and his gorgeous blue eyes aroused irresistible passion..
Our bodies came together and ignited a Big Bang.
We were inseparable— until tragedy hit.
I was left adjusting to a surprise pregnancy— and Cade— fighting to gain control of his team.
His crazy solution: fake marry to polish up his image.
I traded champagne wishes for diaper duty when Mr. Perfect Puck became Mr. Wrong Husband.
Now we’re raising a baby under the glare of a business power struggle, and juggling pretend life against real feelings.
Can our fake vows become forever before our love ends in the penalty box for good?

As her fiftieth birthday approaches, Rita Reynolds is faced with an uncomfortable thought: is it too late to start over and reinvent herself?
But it’s not just the half-century mark that sparks the question. She is also dealing with a bad case of empty-nest syndrome combined with the possible loss of her part-time job. Worse, she realizes that since her divorce five years ago, she’s been coasting on the highway of life. Everyone around her, from her twenty-year-old son Zack to her seventy-five-year-old mother Shirley, is making changes and taking on new challenges. Everyone but Rita, that is. She is stuck in a rut of her own making. Now, it’s time for her to hit the gas and start moving ahead, even if the bumps in the road are slowing her down.
A serendipitous chance to teach a six-week baking class to adults brings back her long ago dream of becoming a professional baker—a goal derailed by marriage and motherhood. But her self-doubt nearly keeps her from seizing the opportunity. Fortunately, her friends intervene, and with their support and encouragement, she overcomes her fears and takes on the new role.
This leads to more prospects that can make a significant change in Rita’s life and her perception of herself—if she can find her inner moxie and take them on. Can she? Will she? Or is it too late for a midlife makeover?

The genesis of Reinventing Rita was the idea of reinvention. Sometimes life reinvention is what you choose to do, but other times, it’s thrust upon you, which is the situation that Rita finds herself in. I wanted to show that when life throws you a curve ball that changes your circumstances, there’s a natural tendency to want to go back to an identity that felt safe and secure, and one where you felt confident.
But going back is rarely a doable option. While taking on new challenges and exploring new opportunities can be scary—or at least, it has been in my case!—it also opens doors that you might not have even realized were there. That’s what I wanted to illustrate through the events that Rita faces: that who you have been in the past doesn’t have to mean that is who you will be in the future.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I freely admit I was influenced by people in my own life. I have a circle of women friends who have supported and encouraged me, and they have all demonstrated, to varying degrees, some of the qualities that Rita’s friends possess: a mix of brutal honesty, gentle encouragement and tactful suggestions. After that, I just let my imagination run with it!

Storm Clouds Rolling In (#1 in the Bregdan Chronicles Historical Fiction Series) by Ginny Dye
Amazon Best-Selling Author & Series
Review: Moses had come to watch his daddy die. I read the first sentence of the first book and knew I would read every word of what Ginny Dye writes. I’ve devoured this remarkable saga, and all 19 that follow! I will read every new one that comes.
Unforgettable characters that will capture your heart. Rich, accurate, historical detail. These are the hallmarks of Ginny Dye’s work. The bestselling Bregdan Chronicles novels have captured the hearts of fans all over the world. This enthralling saga encompassing the Civil War & Reconstruction has eighteen books right now, but many more are coming.
Warning – the Bregdan Chronicles will suck you in and never let you go!
Book Description:
Carrie had always lived a charmed life, but restlessness gnawed at her soul. She dreamed of a different future, but dramatic changes are taking place in the South. Her heart and mind would soon be tested by fire – sweeping away dreamed of freedom as chaos descends.
Carrie Cromwell comes of age as the storm clouds of the Civil War swallow America. Born with a fiery spirit and a strong mind, she finds herself struggling between the common wisdom of the South and the truth she has discovered. The activities of the Underground Railroad and her close friendships with the Cromwell Plantation slaves create difficult choices. But when her decisions put her at odds with her heritage and challenge her dreams, will she be able to give up all that is precious to her?
This first book of The Bregdan Chronicles historical fiction series will pull you in and never let you go. You’ll experience the Civil War era (and all the years to come) through the eyes of both White and Black, Free & Slave, Southern & Northern – and you’ll fall in love with every character.
Review: I never thought I would find a series to enthrall me like The Bregdan Chronicles has. I was wrong! I am struggling to find appropriate words to describe the awe I am in, and find myself failing miserably. I absolutely could not put these books down. I would finish one, and immediately hop online to go get the next one, sometimes in the wee hours of the morning, when my tail should have been asleep. The writing style of this author brings you right into the story as if you are a part of it. She has amazing talent to capture the imagination, and bring you right into a virtual reality. I have fallen in love with every one of these characters – especially the strong women! – and have become completely entranced with each life represented.
The historical account of this time period was so right on, so very vivid, you almost feel like you’ve walked right into it. These books became so alive, I actually had dreams at night of battle. (I’m not even kidding.) But it goes further. There were conversations in these books that had me reading over them several times. Life lessons. Sage advice. The kind of wisdom that comes from every day life. Moments that were so profound, they pierced my heart with an accuracy that I can’t even begin to explain.
Many times, the lives and hearts of each character were changed and rocked with revelation that came about in a moment, yet, so deeply touching the deepest recesses of the heart, that you can’t go beyond it, without it having changed you as well, as you read it.
Thank you, Ginny Dye, not only for an amazing journey, but for those light bulb moments throughout each book, that reached beyond the pages, and made their home inside the soul. What can I say overall? Well, let me put it like this: these books are like… “Gone with the Wind” meets up with “Eat, Pray, Love”; then whispers some “Secret life of Bees”, forges some “Steel Magnolia’s”, and at times, wraps itself with the “Color Purple.” Sigh. Did I mention how much I loved these books?

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
A lot of people ask me why I chose to write about the Civil War and Reconstruction.
The answer is because the pizza restaurant wasn’t open yet!
Okay, so that’s only part of the truth… It’s true that the pizza restaurant I wanted to eat at in my then hometown of Richmond, VA wasn’t going to be open for another hour, but there is more to the story.
It was a beautiful day so I decided to go for a walk.
As I strolled along the treed streets of Richmond, I saw a sign indicating there was a re-enactment happening that day for the Chimborazo Hospital.
I had no idea what that even was, but I decided since I had time to kill, and because I knew the site offered a fabulous view of the James River, I decided to go up the hill to discover what it was all about.
Little did I know how much it would change my life.
I had decided to write an historical fiction novel, but I had absolutely no idea what I was going to write about. How do you decide what fascinating historical thing you want to write about?
There are SO many stories that deserve to be told.
Anyway, up the hill I went.
When I arrived on the bluff overlooking the James River I saw several large tents that had been set up to represent the hospital wards where tens of thousands of Confederate soldiers were taken care of during the Civil War.
I could hear voices coming from inside one of them, so I went inside.
I was delighted to see a young woman dressed in 1860’s clothing, and a circle of 20-30 second graders sitting around her on the ground. They were listening with rapt attention.
I listened along with them, enjoying learning more about what had happened at the hospital, but also horrified by the hardships and suffering that had been endured there.
When the young lady finished speaking, she asked if anyone had questions. I waited to see if any of the children would respond. When they remained silent, I raised my hand.
“Yes?” the young woman asked.
I asked what I thought was an innocent question. “Are there any of the documents left from the original hospital?” I love original documents because they haven’t been doctored yet!
She looked exasperated, gave me a look that said she doubted my intelligence, and snapped, “Well, no, of course not. They were all burned when the Yankees came down here and set fire to Richmond!"
Well, I didn’t know a lot about the Civil War at that point, but I knew that wasn’t true.
I pondered whether to challenge her and then looked again at the group of 2nd graders clustered around her – listening… believing they were hearing the truth.
I raised my hand again. I could tell she didn’t want to acknowledge me, but she did. “Yes?”
I spoke calmly. “Isn’t it true that the Confederates set fire to Richmond?”
Her eyes flashed with anger as she snapped, “Well, they wouldn’t have done it if those Damn Yankees hadn’t been here!”
THAT was the moment I decided to write about the Civil War.
As I looked at all those impressionable children who were being poisoned with ignorant bias, I knew I had to write books that would tell the truth.
Little did I know how very little of the truth I actually knew at that point – or to this very moment. Every book I write causes my mouth to hang open in disbelief as I learn the truth of our history.
My passion to reveal it – within the lives of characters you fall in love with – only grows with every book I write.
When I started this series, I thought I would just write 5 books that would tell the story of the Civil War.
If I knew very little about the Civil War, I truly knew NOTHING about Reconstruction. When I finished Book # 5 (The Last Long Night), I thought I was done.
I had no idea if there was enough during Reconstruction years to actually write a book around, but I decided to at least take a look.
What I discovered in my research astonished me. I knew I had to keep writing – telling the stories that most Americans have absolutely zero knowledge about.
It has been a fascinating journey. Every book has challenged me. Every book has changed me. I can hardly wait to see where history takes me next!
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I'm not the kind of writer that carefully outlines the plot and creates the characters before I begin to write. Honestly, I wouldn't even know how to do it.
I started The Bregdan Chronicles with the idea of a free-spirited woman who challenged the norms of the time. Carrie Cromwell and all the characters that have followed within the 20 books have come to life on the page as I write the story.
It may sound simplistic to say HISTORY has created each character, but it is also the absolute truth.

About the Book
What if after years of extensive exploration of the Milky Way, we find out that the Earth is the only planet able to support life?
Author Ignacio Bunster-Ossa presents an epic sci-fi tale that explores a future where humanity is faced with having to save the only planet it can ever call home.
Housed in millions of pods in geosynchronous orbit, people have learned to enjoy a carefree and everlasting existence. Below, a legion of terranauts, tasked with saving the biodiversity of the planet, travail the continents and deliver to the orbital world spellbinding images of the Earth’s pristine flora and fauna.
Now, Homo-spaciens must guard Nature and over time populate other orbs with the gathered seeds. But all is not well. Resistors are plotting to recolonize the planet, mining exotic biota from deep in Amazonia to finance the operation. The sinful plan comes to life and innocent terranauts risk all to expose the perpetrators. If they fail, the planet’s pristine aura will once again be compromised. But the terranauts are not alone. An alien intelligence is following their every step and secretly intercedes to secure a just, if tragic, outcome. Humanity will never be the same.
In this epic story of good and evil, Author Ignacio Bunster-Ossa immerses the reader into bi-polar worlds: one for people, supported by hyper-advanced technology, and another strictly for wildlife, bio-regulated as Darwin posited in “On the Origin of the Species”. In “ALFIE” these worlds collide in the only way they can: over the elemental need to sustain life, drawing out vice and virtue in equal measures.

A Navy Seal, A small bait and gift shop, An Unexpected Romance
Heather had a strict rule against dating tourists. Owning a bait, tackle, and gift shop, she got to meet most of them. They were always here today, gone tomorrow, and usually married.
Ever since the loss of her husband, Chuck, she was determined to protect her heart. But nothing could protect her from the large man about to barrel through the front door of the shop. Looking behind him at the sidewalk, unaware of Heather on the floor picking up a piece of paper, the man was mid-stride when he collided with her. The impact caused her to sprawl like a starfish on the wood boards. The intruder flew forward in a Superman stance, straight into the newly organized display. The next few seconds were like a video stuck in slow motion. The shelves containing the coffee mugs and art, collapsed under his massive frame. He knew there was no saving the items as his body made contact. Heather stood up abruptly, ready to give him a piece of her mind, but then her eyes locked with his. All of her anger dissipated at the sight of his dread-filled expression and the adorable dimple on his right cheek.
The rules may be worth breaking.

The characters in Henry Wondered were created by combining my fascination with the curious desert quail and my own experience as a child. Similar to the characters in the book, when I was a little girl, I confused flamenco with flamingo and wondered why the dancers did not stand on one foot and wear pink.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
This book is part of a series called You Are on the Air, with multiple authors. My book is number 19. I had a loose connection of needing a radio talk show host involved but the idea for a young woman who is heartbroken and rescues a dog came to me as I thought about what makes me feel better when I'm sad. It's my animals who comfort me, love me and need me.
Since I own miniature dachshunds and find the breed lovable, stubborn and funny, I knew I was going to incorporate a rescue doxie into the mix. The characters told their own story from there.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I needed a radio talk show host involved in my book in some way, so I made him the hero. The heroine was simply a compilation of some heartbroken young ladies I've known over the years and then she took on her own characteristics. I live in the area where this book is set, so it was easy to know the potential jobs and attitudes of people living here.

Suspend your disbelief and embark on a journey through time and space, stepping into a world of Norse magic, paganism, runes, mythology, and mystery. Norse practices, rites, and rituals are far from limited to a bygone era. Rather, the knowledge they contain has been passed on from generation to generation and you, too, can harness the power of Norse magic in your daily life. Become a practicing Norse pagan, interpret and leverage the messages contained in the runes, and carry out a variety of rites and rituals. Feel more empowered by reading this book–with its perfect blend of information about myths, realms, gods, and practical
information.
Inside, you’ll find:
● An introduction to Norse magic, featuring information on Odin’s tale of sacrifice, the
nature of magic, and the power of language.
● Engaging information on the Norse cosmology and the history of the world—from the
Ginnungagap to the creation of the Nine Realms and the importance of the World
Tree.
● The enigmatic gods and goddesses who shaped an array of worlds—including the
Æsir (such as Odin and Frigg) and the Vanir (Nerthus and Kvasir).
● Norse paganism—its characteristics, beliefs, and rituals—and how you can practice it
and harness its power.
● The runes—their history, symbol, meaning, and usage. Discover how to cast, bind, and
store runes.
● The key elements of Norse magic—including seiðr, spá, and galdr, plus key
information about domestic and healing magic.
● Powerful Norse rites you can practice today—such as prayer and offerings, blót, Sumbel, and naming and wedding ceremonies.
And so much more!
If you always thought that Norse magic belonged exclusively to the Gods, think again. Magic was and continues to be part of the Norse pagan community, and you can use it to divine the future, ask the Gods for something you desire or lend tradition and beauty to ceremonies such as your wedding.
Work alongside the Norse gods and invite Norse rituals, beliefs, and magic into your life.
Targeted Age Group:: All Ages!
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Norse Mythology, magic, runes, gods, and goddesses have played a crucial role in my life. Growing up in Kungsträdgården, Sweden, the stories of the gods and goddesses served as a whetstone to the proverbial blade of my imagination. I’d spend days upon days dreaming about the gods and goddesses and doing hilarious cosplays, such as dressing up as Freya and tying a makeshift chariot to my cats.
For me, though, these were more than just folkloric stories. These were the tales of my ancestors. My forefathers believed in these deities and performed these rituals. This realization led me down a rabbit hole of discovery through reading and researching every source I could get my hands on to uncover as much as I could about Norse culture.
Although I was raised Christian, I could never connect with the religion and always felt disconcerted by its beliefs, believing that many of them were forced and contrived. This divide between me and divinity made me dig deeper into my past. That’s when I discovered that my ancestors were followers of the old Norse religion. The more I learned about their beliefs, the more I felt them align with my own innate beliefs until a moment of clarity came and it all clicked into place.
After devoting my time to learning about Norse Mythology and culture, I delved deep into modern practices such as Asatru, adopting them in my daily life by performing divination and rituals. The fulfillment and satisfaction that I found in reconnecting with the gods and goddesses and the spirits of my ancestors through these profound practices were second to none.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Why do I write mysteries? Well, I’ve always loved them, especially those involving Agatha Christie's Miss Marple. Perhaps because Miss Marple reminds me of my aunts when I was growing up. But Agatha never told us much about Miss Marple's earlier life. While writing my own elderly super-sleuth series, I’m tracing her career from the start. As you'll see in this boxset, a compilation of ten Miss Riddell Cozy Mysteries.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
My Miss Riddell character is a fusion of Miss Marple and one of my aunts when I was growing up. My aunt was a nurse in WW2 and her quiet courage, and that of all those nurses, led to the young, dogged and brave, Miss Riddell, super-sleuth.

About the Book
This is a story about struggling with God. As a freshman college student, Denis Lamoureux lost his boyhood Christian faith because of evolution. With no spiritual foundation, he made medical school his idol and eventually became an immoral atheist. Yet by God’s grace, and in an answer to his mother’s prayers, Denis read the Gospel of John and fell in love with the Prince of Peace while serving in the military as a United Nations peacekeeper on the island of Cyprus.
This is also a story about struggling with origins. Like most evangelical Christians, Lamoureux was a stanch young earth creationist. But the Lord had a plan for his life and led him to complete a PhD in theology and a PhD in biology. To his surprise, Lamoureux discovered that the Creator evolved intelligently designed living creatures that declare the glory of God. Through miraculous signs and wonders, the Lord Jesus called Dr. Lamoureux to be a college professor and to proclaim a peaceful relationship between his evangelical Christian faith and the modern evolutionary sciences.

His jaw is strong and sharp, and when his gaze turned to me, my heart skipped a beat.
Even though he is cocky and rude, I really want to be successful at my job, so I will just deal with his arrogance.
But if the way he was looking at me had anything to do with what was on his mind, he wanted me as much as I wanted him.
There is no way I’m telling Mia that I want to sleep with her dad.
Even if he did look like he was made to exist only in my wildest dreams.
It would just be this one time, and nobody needed to know.
Until now… a plus sign on the pregnancy test.

About the Book
Cantin’s powerful memoir, “Where Yellow Flowers Bloom” is the true story of a wife and a mother’s journey through loss and grief and chronicles the events that took place during the 2018 Montecito mudslide.
In the dark, at 3:30 am, a thirty-foot wave of mud and debris crashes down on her home – with Kim’s family inside. Life changed in an instant. Most devastating, her husband and teenage son have been swept away to their deaths. Miraculously, Kim and her daughter survive the unimaginable.
This book takes you on this mother’s fascinating journey to find her missing son as she follows her intuition, and becomes open to unmistakable synchronicities. Kim found people and the connection to others to be a healing experience and perhaps the most powerful antidote to living with uncertainty.
Through tenacity against insurmountable odds, Kim affirms that her husband and son are still with her.
“Cantin writes gracefully and honestly about unimaginable loss. Her courage and perseverance to find her son is a testament to her family. Her brave voice will have you grabbing your hankies in this gripping memoir” — Leslie Zemeckis, actress, filmmaker, and author.
“In a world going ever more awry, books such as ‘Where Yellow Flowers Bloom’—the title’s meaning waits for you to find it—provide a candle in the darkness, shelter from the wind, and a loving hand on the center of your back when you’re feeling alone. Tragedy and loss give us our humanity, but community gives our humanity its fullest meaning, purpose, and expression.” — Joey Madia, New Mystics Reviews
“Unbelievable story of triumph over tragedy”
“Brave, insightful—and harrowing.”

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
This book grew out of a 20-year journey while exploring the question of why bad things may happen to good people. It is a story about the shocking contrast between human frailty and an infinitely powerful and sovereign God, who is motivated by a love that is as immense and immeasurable as His power.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The boy, Jimmy, is an unlikely prophet, like many examples in the Bible where God used children in remarkable ways. From Joseph’s early dreams to David’s courageous battle with Goliath and Jesus’ selection of a young man named John, likely not more than a teenager himself, to be one of his closest Disciples. It’s not much of a stretch to think that His most significant work still to come could be accomplished through some of the weakest among us.

Having lost friends in Afghanistan and here at home, mental health is an issue that is close to my heart. These issues inspired me to write 'ORION.''—a debut thriller about a veteran struggling to come to terms with his past.

The characters are loosely based on the Greek mythological story of Orion. Complete with his nemesis Scorpio and love interest Artemis. This ancient tale also inspired me to write a modern version of it that could have a profound meaning with the struggles of our modern society.

Some of my fondest memories while raising our two daughters were visiting the library and reading bedtime stories. It made me think "someday I'll write a children's book." After twenty-seven years of Federal service, someday finally came. That’s how it was!
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Many people wonder . . . what does a part Hispanic, part Native American woman, who has lived her entire life in New Mexico, know about growing up on a farm in the predominantly German and Scandinavian mid-west? Simply put . . . I married into it. Back in the day when I was dating, I had a dear friend tell me if I found someone who had a happy childhood, he'd be a good catch. I didn't give it much thought at the time, but it may have been a premonition on her part. I hit the jackpot! It turns out the love of my life had a wonderful, happy childhood growing up on a farm in the country. Over the years I've listened to my husband and his cousin talk about their mischievous escapades. Thus, the main characters and their stories are loosely based on real life.

About the Book
Can Sophie de Courcy’s maid’s ridiculous tarot predictions be coming true? She sees a rascally admirer from abroad for each of them, and a battle with dark forces.
It’s true that Sophie dreams of adventure and romance. Still, living as a dowager’s companion in an isolated mansion in North Wales, there is little chance of that.
But now, Sophie’s long term hero – the incorrigible rogue French émigré Émile Dubois, arrives on a visit with his strutting confidential servant. Surely, there can’t be any truth in the stories that Émile and the London highwayman Monsieur Gilles are the same person, and his servant his companion in crime?
Why does Émile insist that he met Sophie in Revolutionary Paris – where she has never been – and why is he so angry with her for denying it?
Meanwhile, their sinister neighbours, the long-toothed Kenrick and his siren like wife, are up on a visit from Town themselves. Kenrick is full of wild talk about the legends of Romania, and of travel through time.
Émile laughs at him. Still, can he resist Mistress Kenrick’s voluptuous charms?
Can Sophie prevent them all from being drawn into a Kenrick’s dark experiments?
Former Amazon best seller and winner of the BRAG award for outstandng self-published fiction.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Never intended to be a writer. This series came about, due to the death of my friend Tyree Garland. He had written a book called "The Trey Way", right before his passing. In his book, he mentioned me. So I felt honored to do the same for him, in my book. However, making it a fantasy and a series, was inspired by a radio interview I heard on MPR, a few years ago, by Angie Thomas. Author of the book "The Hate U Give". In the interview, she states that she was disheartened by the lack of black representation in the fantasy genre of writing. She went on the further say, how she would like to read a black "Harry Potter" or "Twilight", written by a black author. So, hearing that expression of need, along with the death of my friend, inspired me to write "The Blood Sagas"

Seeing a covey of quail while on a walk or hike just makes my day. One thing I've noticed is that quails often seem to be scurrying about with important purpose. They are on a mission! Mixing that observation with some imagination is how Gloria Smiled came to be.

Medusa follows strict rules for gallivanting around Immortal Space. Rule #1: To avoid possible decapitation, flee at all costs if Perseus is in the vicinity. And under no circumstances, hop in his lap like it’s the best ride in the known galaxies. Rule #3: Always carry a spare pair of underwear. One never knows when a homicidal demigod will ruin a favorite pair of panties with his hero jaw, tight muscles, and golden Greek skin. Rule #29: Never enter a situation without an escape route. A Gorgon without a plan is a dead Gorgon.
What Medusa’s rules didn’t plan for is the delicious trifecta of Perseus, his insane brother, and a genocidal cyborg to hijack her space adventures with toe-curling pleasure. Or their obsession with destroying the goddess who wants her head. As the 99th clone of the original Medusa, she’ll get on board with any plot that keeps her head firmly attached to her neck. All the better if it comes with a side of “good girl” climaxes and three possessive men who aren’t terrified of her beloved serpents.
As part of a trilogy, this novella does not reveal all the secrets that Medusa’s men carry with them. There is a whole lot of colorful language with a little bit of dub con and plenty of villainous behavior. If this offends you, this may not be the space romance for you.
Targeted Age Group:: 18-55
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I write short romance reads. One day, at a local coffee shop, I thought to myself, "I wonder what Medusa would do in space?" I was already working on book 3 in a different series, but this idea of Medusa in space kept screaming at me. This book is the result!
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Once I started envisioning Medusa gallivanting around space, I researched her myth. She's the perfectly wronged woman–ideal for a revenge seeking character who falls in love with the man tasked with decapitating her. From there I developed her love interests off the idea that she'd fall for villains who are sexy as hell.

Post-divorce vacation, a broken down jet Ski and the unexpected Romance with a younger man.
“Are you kidding me!” Renee turned the key on the jet ski for the tenth time, trying to restart it after she had stopped to take a selfie. “Take a post-divorce vacation,” they said. “It will be fun!” fun, my ass!
Renee Martin is a successful lawyer who is independent, strong, and always has the answers. But now, she finds herself clueless off the shore of Galveston Island, stranded on a broken-down rental jet ski.
Pulling out a flare gun, she swelled with hope. As she opened the device, her heart sank. A flare gun with no flares a novel idea. If only she could use her explosive anger as a signal. Renee hated feeling helpless. Her phone was useless, being adrift where there was no service. She didn’t expect any and only brought it to take a picture of proof for her coworkers.
Renee took this time to curse them out in her mind. The trip to Galveston Island was their gift to her. After throwing her a surprise divorce party, they told her it was time to get away and reset herself. Renee tried to refuse, arguing there was too much work to leave behind. Her protests fell on deaf ears, as her co-workers insisted that she spoil herself after the ugly mediation with her ex.
After what seemed like an eternity, a large fishing boat stopped to assist her. Jonathan, an attractive young man, pulled the boat alongside her and helped her onto the boat’s deck. Renee looked up and found herself staring into Jonathan’s eyes. The words thank you failed to come out of her mouth, and she was startled by their undeniable connection.
Renee struggles with her desire for a younger man. When she gives in to her desire, she discovers it’s never too late for love.

About the Book
A world trending in excess of polar extremes led by algorithmic “profiteering” calls for a new mindset, as the pendulum is now frozen at both ends. This new mindset cultivates a golden mean balance (or Golden Paradigm), where brand keeps humanity in focus and ensures technologies wield influence in people’s lives responsibly.
The Golden Paradigm helps readers revisit “forgotten” human ingenuities: storytelling and storymaking creativities. These harness the relationship between brand, audience, and “kaleidoscoping” business models that fuse sustainment and disruption in a golden mean balance—paradoxically generating transformative growth. It starts with a “truth-telling” Golden Compass that brings awareness of the market context. This provides power player awareness and also empowers the reader to map a transformative growth journey line in market quadrants from Avalanche or Potential Rocket to Bright Light and Marvelous Marquee.
Along the journey line, readers are equipped with toolkits, methods, and resources that unfreeze their creativity. The Golden Paradigm is a “kaleidoscoping” process, where the reader looks at a set of elements such as price, quality, business models, service experience—the same ones everyone else sees—but then reassembles those elements into an
enticing new possibility!
The Golden Paradigm offers a community that fuses creators, tech founders, and leaders together, imbues humanity in a tech-tattered world, and moves us toward a more positive age.

Beacon Hill is one of Boston’s exclusive inner-city residential neighborhoods, with rows of crowded city townhouses, private city homes and city mansions lined along narrow city streets. For Edward, life on Beacon Hill was simple and routine, aside from needing a financial opportunity to save his ever-loving skin. With every passing day he came closer to financial doom, until a mysterious woman from out of town enters into his life with claims of having information to a buried treasure chest, buried in a secret grave somewhere in an old colonial graveyard in downtown Boston, and with the promise of riches for whoever finds it.

The wolf came from out of nowhere, a gleaming white streak suddenly appeared through the people and ran at him with a forward springing leap. In a half a breath, there was an angry wolf hitting Nikolas in the chest and bringing him down backward to land with it, snowy white and snarling, on top of him, staring down into his eyes, teeth bared in a lunge.
He stared back and tucked his chin as the wolf lunged and everyone reacted, pulling the furious beast off before it could cause more trouble and damage. Nikolas escaped with a couple of decent slits along his jaw, where he had the good sense to tuck, knowing where those teeth were going. Nikolas blinked up at the wolf and let out a cough.

Chance McNally is a former Navy Seal and a hot-headed Irishman who’s at the end of his rope trying to balance a new job while raising a difficult teenage daughter alone.
Along comes Riley Cole, a feisty event planner running a successful business, whose carefully curated life is changed by the constant threat of a dangerous stalker. Afraid for her life, she hires the best bodyguard in Bliss Cay…who happens to be Chance.
With Chance assigned to protect Riley, he must assume the role of her boyfriend in order to keep her safe from danger at all times—a feat easier said than done. When the two are together they’re oil and water, leading to explosive situations as they are forced to tolerate each other’s presence.
With Riley’s world turned upside down over the ever-constant threat of danger, the safety this fake relationship offers is something she realizes she’s been missing in her life. For Chance, Riley may be the spark of fire he needs to finally heal from past traumas.
Will the one person Chance never wanted in his life be the one to persuade him to face a tortured past, and will this relationship stay fiction—or can their growing feelings turn it into fact?
(This is book 5 of a standalone sweet/clean romance series and can be read in any order.)
Targeted Age Group:: 13+
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Some of my favorite tropes involve military personnel, enemies to lovers, tortured soul, first love, fake boyfriend, and second chance romance.
While brainstorming ideas, I decided on a troubled former Navy Seal turned bodyguard, who's a single dad to a teenage daughter, and a sassy event planner with a stalker out to get her. Adding in a big sister as Chance's boss and confidant, and Riley's funny, very likable, gay best friend/personal assistant really brought depth and humor to this heartfelt story.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Coming from a military family, and married to a retired Air Force Sergeant myself, I love using strong, hunky leading men when possible, so I dreamed up Chance McNally.
Trying to fit in a female, co-main character, with a career that I could work into the story and setting (a small island town with a Convention Center), Riley appeared and was quite opinionated throughout the planning of her scenes.
Then came along Milo, Riley's BFF turned assistant, who she met and roomed with in college. Originally he was supposed to be straight so I could use him to make Chance jealous once he started to like her. However, his very fitting personality came out along the way and I must say he is one of the most fun, likable characters I've written! I even thought about giving him his own story some day, but for now he's a big part of this one.
Chance needed someone to talk to, and rather than adding yet another character, with a small part, I decided on using his big sis/boss, Sloane. I love a close family unit, and it helped the storyline with both of them being retired from the military, along with their father.

Kila learns Eagle Rock holds more than scenery. It cradles a dream.
Warriors fight for their dreams, and for the people they love.
Eagle Rock awakens Kila’s warrior spirit. Blake Black Bear awakens her heart.
Eagles, warriors of the sky, mate only with those willing to plummet to the ground, risk death, together.
Only if Kila and Blake possess true Eagle Love, will they survive a killer’s onslaught. If either falters, both will surely die.

Heat/Violence Level: Heat Level 1 – G Rated Clean Read
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
My brother wrote a screen play. I suggested a "few" rewrites. He said "Why don't you just rewrite it as one of your novels?" In the spirit of sisterly love, I did.
My brother and I are proud of our heritage, which includes both prerevolutionary colonials and more recent immigrants fleeing starvation in early 20th century Europe, as well as others for whom North America was their home before Columbus sailed. The clash of cultures and discovering humanity's universals is written in our blood. That reality inspired this story. That, and who doesn't like a good old fashion boy meets girl epic?
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
My brother’s screenplay, Eagle Rock, handed me these two characters, but it did not hand me a reason to love them. Rewriting their story, I discovered both heroes needed to learn about themselves before they could (finally, at the very end) recognize their mutual love.
Kila represents all of us who worked hard to achieve what we thought would be our “dream come true” lifestyle, only to discover by accident – or fate? – a totally different life is our true destiny.
As a Hollywood veterinarian, Kila cared for the pampered pets of the rich and famous. She lived a life almost as luxurious as the pets she cared for. Her favorite thrill is her fast sport car.
As boss lady of a working ranch, she washes dishes by hand, mucks out stalls, and discovers hard labor with a purpose is more joyful than luxury without purpose. That said, she drives her ranch pickup truck as fast as if it were a sport car.
Kila’s struggle to learn what gives life value is everyone’s struggle.
Blake Black Bear is physically a typical Blackfoot Indian – tall, athletic, handsome. Educationally, he is atypical. Brilliance runs in his family, but he is the first to attend college.
His story is that of many social outsiders for whom books come easy, but learning to walk in what most call civilized society brings more pain than rewards. Like Kila, he must learn what defines his identity.
Blake doesn’t hesitate to face a mountain lion. It will take a different kind of courage to admit he loves a woman who comes from the same world he believes rejected him.
Blake’s struggle to not let past betrayals prevent recognizing today’s love, is a struggle endured by many.

Beacon Hill is one of Boston’s exclusive inner-city residential neighborhoods, with rows of crowded city townhouses, private city homes and city mansions lined along narrow city streets. For Edward, life on Beacon Hill was simple and routine, aside from needing a financial opportunity to save his ever-loving skin. With every passing day he came closer to financial doom, until a mysterious woman from out of town enters into his life with claims of having information to a buried treasure chest, buried in a secret grave somewhere in an old colonial graveyard in downtown Boston, and with the promise of riches for whoever finds it.
Needing his help to locate the graveyard and the grave containing the treasure chest, she was willing to share the treasure with him. With only a few clues leading to where this old downtown Boston colonial graveyard and treasure chest could be, together they try solving the mystery to the secret buried treasure. Their journey begins on Beacon Hill and takes them into downtown Boston and to the national historic sites of “The Boston Freedom Trail.”
The Freedom Trail holds the secret to a buried treasure chest buried in 1775 during The American Revolutionary War, buried to hide it from the British and from George Washington’s Continental Army.
Together while solving the clues to the mystery of the buried treasure chest, the buzz of romance was in the air. But when things get complicated, he finds out she was hiding a secret. The romance that just began now begins to fall apart. Her only chance to prove she is sincere was to move to Beacon Hill. But the secret past tells a crafty tale and no one can change the past.

At the age of 16, his domineering father cruelly exiled Ali Kurmi to the south coast in order to protect the family name. Now in his thirties, he’s forced to work as an unofficial bailiff for his father’s property company, a job he detests. The only thing keeping him going is songwriting and DJ-ing.
Ali invests all his cash in a plan to break into the notoriously unwelcoming music business. His off-beat passion for 70s and 80s music leads him into DJ work on the corporate events circuit, where he meets and is smitten with, a beautiful, older woman. Laura O’Brien recently inherited a fortune after the tragic death of her husband Frank, the internationally acclaimed Irish racehorse breeder.
Determined to avoid returning to the bottle, she’s left Tipperary to start afresh in Hampshire – with plans to put her new-found wealth to good use.
This unlikely couple’s happiness, and their plans to launch Ali’s music career, are soon imperiled when Ali finds himself being blackmailed by his own father – and innocently falling foul of a drugs cartel. Trouble’s brewing for Laura too, not least her unhinged and dangerous step-daughter, hell-
bent on revenge.

About the Book
“If you want to understand why Peterloo took place read this book.”
“I adore the rich, evocative regional dialects and brogue in this novel. Kudos to Griffiths…”
What measures success or failure when you come from the workhouse? Mules; Masters & Mud is about what happened to our two cotton mill apprentices, the Quarry Bank runaways, during the Industrial Revolution. It tells their story as qualified young mule spinners with future hopes, and later when they are full grown. By the start of the Victorian period the fates and their ambitions would have collided. Serious events and incidents, personal and national, including the Peterloo Massacre, were about to impinge upon the lives of Thomas Priestley and Joseph Sefton. What would cause a qualified mule spinner to give up his comparatively safe job and risk failure, ridicule or destitution? Ambitious and determined working class individuals like Tommy and Joe had to carefully step through a pathway involving love and loyalty; persecution and prejudice, from within the social hierarchy of the times.

About the book:
In Journey Through Fire and Ice: Shattered Dreams Above the Arctic Circle, Deanne pours her memories onto paper, immortalizing in vivid detail their experiences in one of our country’s most remote regions, including the ways in which the Inupiaq people supported the Burches throughout both exhilarating triumphs and agonizing tragedies.
In Kivalina, Deanne lived on the edge of two worlds — the one she left behind in the lower 48 and the one where she reluctantly participated in all aspects of the women’s lives. Skinning seals, cleaning and drying fish, and cutting beluga and caribou to store became her way of life. Plumbing, running water and electricity were not available. Loneliness was a constant companion until a few women befriended her.

We had lit a forest on fire…
We were stoned as crap…
My sister was calling 9-1-1…
As I watched the flames dance across the twilight sky, consuming everything in their path, I realized they represented my life. In my pursuit of pleasure and partying, I had ignited an addiction worse than any forest fire. After five arrests, a dozen allegations, a v-squad of cop cars chasing me down center street, and years of worshipping all the wrong things led me to the brink of death, I finally found hope in life. This is a story of how the initially enthralling and sometimes humorous pursuits of drugs, sex, and success cannot satisfy in the way that they promise, but there is One who can.

I know a lot of people who are battling addiction with no way out, no hope for the future, no end in sight. I wrote this book for all those with loved ones who are addicted, all those who are drinking and doing drugs and having sex and hoping beyond all get-out that some of it will satisfy. Yet, the more they have, the more they need.

To Own Two Suns by Fran Tabor
It’s the beginning of the 22nd century. Captain Jerry Jerrison, head scientist for the first manned flight to explore the outer solar system, has dreamed of meeting aliens since childhood. As they approach Pluto, his ship encounters what seems to be an abandoned alien spaceship.
Muni, the sole occupant, is in a state of Deep Sleep. The ship’s AI (Artificial Intelligence) learns the human spaceship is failing. The AI tricks Jerrison and his crew into boarding the safer alien craft.
When Muni awakens, he pretends he came for the benefit of the human race.
Reality is more sinister. He is there to claim our solar system for his clan. If he fails, his entire family will be killed. Muni is their last hope. Human existence makes his claiming our solar system impossible.
As the novel progresses, Captain Jerrison and Muni must find a way to work together to save both Muni’s clan and the human race.
Morgi civilization will accept humans as True People if and only if Jerrison can personally prove human greatness. Jerrison the Scientist must become Jerrison the Warrior.
Morgi Law: Only against great odds can greatness be revealed.
The immense odds against Jerrison are great enough to win Morgi recognition.
If he fails, all humanity and Muni’s clan will be exterminated. Failure is so certain, Muni’s enemies are already positioning themselves to exterminate humanity and claim on sun.

When first I learned stars are distant suns, I've wondered if someone, something looked back at me, wondering if my sun had a planet, if someone on my planet could be looking back at it.
I've imagined many alien civilizations. None were more fun to develop than the one in this book. From their biology, I created a society. If you, too, enjoy contemplating how biology influences the realities we create, you will enjoy this book — providing you can tolerate my warped sense of humor.

CAPTAIN JERRY JERRISON: If I could have lived a different life, a different time, while I wrote To Own Two Suns, I would have lived his life — but without the dangers. He is fantasy fulfillment.
MUNI: How to turn what we initially see as evil monster, (just because during his first human-alien interaction Muni chews up and gulps down an adult human), into a sympathetic, loveable character you WANT to win? By first writing this story from Muni's view point and then rewriting from Jerrison's, and letting Jerrison discover first impressions can be wrong for everyone. Of course Muni killed the first human he met the quickest way possible — devouring — because the human was an invading monster.
Muni is a slave to his biology. Are humans? Aliens let us explore humanity in ways human characters cannot.

In retrospect, I made them too smart. I had to do a lot of research to keep up with them.

A doomed expedition discovers an ancient secret in the mountains.
Against his better judgment, Garruth – a mercenary – joins a voyage of discovery to try and pass through an unconquered mountain range. The explorers believe they will find the remnants of a long-lost civilization on the other side; Garruth would settle for a few answers.
What they find is a secretive people that prefer their privacy, and are willing to kill to protect it. Yet the ancient sword that the mercenary carries seems to be of interest to this people’s beautiful sorceress, and her promise to help him find the answers he seeks ensnares Garruth in a web of political intrigue, betrayal, and espionage.
Now the mercenary will have to try stay alive in this dangerous place long enough to finally discover what happened to him so many years ago, and what role his invaluable sword played in creating him; and maybe – if he’s unusually lucky – even earn a bit of gold along the way.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The details of the history for the main character of the series, Garruth, allows me to do almost anything I want to do with him. For this, I wanted to write a story where you see thousands of years of a civilization's history at two different points in time, centuries apart. And with Garruth as a sort of cipher, it made it much easier to do: since he was there for all of the inciting incidents, I got to explore all the ways that the perception of those events had changed a thousand years later.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I came up with Garruth pretty easily. I enjoyed the idea of writing a character who was not tied down to anyone, professionally. Who had no lord, no master, no Captain to whom he was accountable other than his own conscience.
LuQing, the other main character in the story, sort of developed over the course of the book. I knew what sort of character I wanted, and I let that guide me to the details and the personality that eventually developed.
ChenLong was one of my favorite characters in the book to write, because while he is definitely the antagonist, I don't consider him to be a villain. It is tragic, for the most part: he is acting selflessly, on behalf of the people he loves. In his mind, certainly, he is a hero. I was interested, then, in writing a character that could be a hero in their own mind, but still make the wrong choices that lead to so much destruction.

From the bestselling authors of the Invasion, Fat Vampire, and Yesterday’s Gone series comes Future Proof, a new stand-alone novel written in the world of The Beam: a disturbing philosophical exploration of the future of hyperconnectivity.
In a world where the rich hold all the power and the poor struggle to make ends meet, Ryu and his team of rebels are determined to even the playing field. Breaking into Xenia Labs, they hope to steal a code breaker that will give the poor access to technology previously only available to the wealthy elite. But things go horribly wrong during the heist. Two team members are killed, and all the others get away with is a mysterious black box.
As the countdown on the box ticks down and resets repeatedly, Ryu and his team start to suspect they may have activated something dangerous. Each time the countdown on the box resets, a black ship appears and pursues them. The box also seems to have a way of getting inside people’s minds to exploit their fears and insecurities.
As the team members get picked off one by one, and the survivors begin to turn on each other, it becomes clear that they may have made a fatal mistake in their quest for equality.
Future Proof is a pulse-pounding ride through a dystopian world where the line between good and evil is blurred. If you enjoyed Altered Carbon and The Fifth Element, you’ll feel right at home with Future Proof.

Storm Clouds Rolling In (#1 in the Bregdan Chronicles Historical Fiction Series) by Ginny Dye
Amazon Best-Selling Author & Series
Review: Moses had come to watch his daddy die. I read the first sentence of the first book and knew I would read every word of what Ginny Dye writes. I’ve devoured this remarkable saga, and all 19 that follow! I will read every new one that comes.
Unforgettable characters that will capture your heart. Rich, accurate, historical detail. These are the hallmarks of Ginny Dye’s work. The bestselling Bregdan Chronicles novels have captured the hearts of fans all over the world. This enthralling saga encompassing the Civil War & Reconstruction has eighteen books right now, but many more are coming.
Warning – the Bregdan Chronicles will suck you in and never let you go!
Book Description:
Carrie had always lived a charmed life, but restlessness gnawed at her soul. She dreamed of a different future, but dramatic changes are taking place in the South. Her heart and mind would soon be tested by fire – sweeping away dreamed of freedom as chaos descends.
Carrie Cromwell comes of age as the storm clouds of the Civil War swallow America. Born with a fiery spirit and a strong mind, she finds herself struggling between the common wisdom of the South and the truth she has discovered. The activities of the Underground Railroad and her close friendships with the Cromwell Plantation slaves create difficult choices. But when her decisions put her at odds with her heritage and challenge her dreams, will she be able to give up all that is precious to her?
This first book of The Bregdan Chronicles historical fiction series will pull you in and never let you go. You’ll experience the Civil War era (and all the years to come) through the eyes of both White and Black, Free & Slave, Southern & Northern – and you’ll fall in love with every character.
Review: I never thought I would find a series to enthrall me like The Bregdan Chronicles has. I was wrong! I am struggling to find appropriate words to describe the awe I am in, and find myself failing miserably. I absolutely could not put these books down. I would finish one, and immediately hop online to go get the next one, sometimes in the wee hours of the morning, when my tail should have been asleep. The writing style of this author brings you right into the story as if you are a part of it. She has amazing talent to capture the imagination, and bring you right into a virtual reality. I have fallen in love with every one of these characters – especially the strong women! – and have become completely entranced with each life represented.
The historical account of this time period was so right on, so very vivid, you almost feel like you’ve walked right into it. These books became so alive, I actually had dreams at night of battle. (I’m not even kidding.) But it goes further. There were conversations in these books that had me reading over them several times. Life lessons. Sage advice. The kind of wisdom that comes from every day life. Moments that were so profound, they pierced my heart with an accuracy that I can’t even begin to explain.
Many times, the lives and hearts of each character were changed and rocked with revelation that came about in a moment, yet, so deeply touching the deepest recesses of the heart, that you can’t go beyond it, without it having changed you as well, as you read it.
Thank you, Ginny Dye, not only for an amazing journey, but for those light bulb moments throughout each book, that reached beyond the pages, and made their home inside the soul. What can I say overall? Well, let me put it like this: these books are like… “Gone with the Wind” meets up with “Eat, Pray, Love”; then whispers some “Secret life of Bees”, forges some “Steel Magnolia’s”, and at times, wraps itself with the “Color Purple.” Sigh. Did I mention how much I loved these books?

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
A lot of people ask me why I chose to write about the Civil War and Reconstruction.
The answer is because the pizza restaurant wasn’t open yet!
Okay, so that’s only part of the truth… It’s true that the pizza restaurant I wanted to eat at in my then hometown of Richmond, VA wasn’t going to be open for another hour, but there is more to the story.
It was a beautiful day so I decided to go for a walk.
As I strolled along the treed streets of Richmond, I saw a sign indicating there was a re-enactment happening that day for the Chimborazo Hospital.
I had no idea what that even was, but I decided since I had time to kill, and because I knew the site offered a fabulous view of the James River, I decided to go up the hill to discover what it was all about.
Little did I know how much it would change my life.
I had decided to write an historical fiction novel, but I had absolutely no idea what I was going to write about. How do you decide what fascinating historical thing you want to write about?
There are SO many stories that deserve to be told.
Anyway, up the hill I went.
When I arrived on the bluff overlooking the James River I saw several large tents that had been set up to represent the hospital wards where tens of thousands of Confederate soldiers were taken care of during the Civil War.
I could hear voices coming from inside one of them, so I went inside.
I was delighted to see a young woman dressed in 1860’s clothing, and a circle of 20-30 second graders sitting around her on the ground. They were listening with rapt attention.
I listened along with them, enjoying learning more about what had happened at the hospital, but also horrified by the hardships and suffering that had been endured there.
When the young lady finished speaking, she asked if anyone had questions. I waited to see if any of the children would respond. When they remained silent, I raised my hand.
“Yes?” the young woman asked.
I asked what I thought was an innocent question. “Are there any of the documents left from the original hospital?” I love original documents because they haven’t been doctored yet!
She looked exasperated, gave me a look that said she doubted my intelligence, and snapped, “Well, no, of course not. They were all burned when the Yankees came down here and set fire to Richmond!"
Well, I didn’t know a lot about the Civil War at that point, but I knew that wasn’t true.
I pondered whether to challenge her and then looked again at the group of 2nd graders clustered around her – listening… believing they were hearing the truth.
I raised my hand again. I could tell she didn’t want to acknowledge me, but she did. “Yes?”
I spoke calmly. “Isn’t it true that the Confederates set fire to Richmond?”
Her eyes flashed with anger as she snapped, “Well, they wouldn’t have done it if those Damn Yankees hadn’t been here!”
THAT was the moment I decided to write about the Civil War.
As I looked at all those impressionable children who were being poisoned with ignorant bias, I knew I had to write books that would tell the truth.
Little did I know how very little of the truth I actually knew at that point – or to this very moment. Every book I write causes my mouth to hang open in disbelief as I learn the truth of our history.
My passion to reveal it – within the lives of characters you fall in love with – only grows with every book I write.
When I started this series, I thought I would just write 5 books that would tell the story of the Civil War.
If I knew very little about the Civil War, I truly knew NOTHING about Reconstruction. When I finished Book # 5 (The Last Long Night), I thought I was done.
I had no idea if there was enough during Reconstruction years to actually write a book around, but I decided to at least take a look.
What I discovered in my research astonished me. I knew I had to keep writing – telling the stories that most Americans have absolutely zero knowledge about.
It has been a fascinating journey. Every book has challenged me. Every book has changed me. I can hardly wait to see where history takes me next!
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I'm not the kind of writer that carefully outlines the plot and creates the characters before I begin to write. Honestly, I wouldn't even know how to do it.
I started The Bregdan Chronicles with the idea of a free-spirited woman who challenged the norms of the time. Carrie Cromwell and all the characters that have followed within the 20 books have come to life on the page as I write the story.
It may sound simplistic to say HISTORY has created each character, but it is also the absolute truth.

About Featured Book: Black Plume by Anne Mikaitis
Jenna’s life is messy, but she’s young and it’s the summer of 1996. After she and her friends survived a tragedy six years ago, she figures they deserve to simply work hard and play harder, especially if they get to stick together. Then one of them is murdered.
As they try to cope with their fresh loss, yet another victim is found. In the small Indiana town of Lewton, it seems that the murders must be connected. But the only links the police seem to find are Jenna and her friends.
While Jenna is desperate to believe they’re all innocent, she can’t ignore the nagging doubt filling her mind as bodies pile up. Dubious of local law enforcement’s abilities, Jenna tries to figure out who has the best reasons to want them dead as macabre clues surface. Will the killer be caught before another one of her friends dies? Or is one of her closest allies a murderer?

Veronica Woodworth left her estate to her granddaughter, Elise, when she passed away. Now, with the money from the inheritance, Elise could open her very own flower shop. Her best friend, Dayton, thought the manor guest house would make the perfect bed and breakfast.
Soon after they arrived, the house cat led Elise right to the missing butler, murdered. All cats could be weird sometimes, but Florent seemed to be weird most of the time. Florent led Elise straight to a hidden room in the kitchen and even helped her figure out how to open the door. In all of her time playing in the manor, she never knew this room was here. But someone did.
Following clues that sometimes led in circles, Elise, Dayton, and Florence stumbled upon secrets that the killer did not want revealed and could have led him or her to kill again to cover the tracks.

I have loved Cozy Mysteries for a long time. It was time to release some of my own. I have always wanted the "pets" to be able to communicate with their owner, or the humans around them as I am not sure anyone ever really owns a cat.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The personalities of the characters are based on people that I know. I almost needed to spin a wheel to decide on specific names. I even changed the name of one character based on a reviewer's comments.

With Klaus’s impending operation threatening to destroy his memory, will Portia do the unthinkable and help him escape in order to uncover the truth?

About the Book
A riveting tale of revenge, survival and redemption, wrapped around an unlikely love story and set against an urban backdrop corrupted by violence against women and racism.
Following a racially motivated rape by three Ku Klux Klansmen, 12-year-old Desiree Devine vows revenge. After eight years of training, now a strikingly beautiful assassin, she accomplishes her mission.
Her campaign continues with solitary walks through dark city streets, hoping to be assaulted by men with bad intentions. Those entrapped by her spider’s web pay dearly for their efforts.
Surrounded by three white men one night, she’s rescued by Tony Marino, an Italian-American passerby. A stormy up-and-down relationship ensues. Ultimately, as her rage matures into purposeful action, and as he begins to see the world through her eyes, they become a team.
Along the way, they encounter serial killers, wife-beaters, actual and would-be rapists, gangsters, crooked cops, a kidnapper and a pedophile priest, as well as numerous women in desperate need of their help. Beneath all the action, though, is the blossoming of a most unusual love story.

Mercury Rising by J.B. Aspen
Midlife—when the magic really begins…
Happy Birthday and hello Mid-life crisis. Hi, I’m Mercury Rodgers and at forty-five I thought life was over. Dead-end job, empty nest…it was just me and the cat starting over. Again.
But when I lost my house and moved in with my pickleball playing, ballroom dancing, super social senior citizen mom—that was the icing on my midlife birthday cake. Then, out of nowhere, my luck changed.
Or so I thought…
I won an all expenses paid trip to the Phoenix Inn. Now the bodies are piling up and I’m a suspect in a murder investigation. But the real surprise is: I’m not just a broke, divorced, empty-nester—I’m a witch.
And the magic is just beginning…
Join Mercury and her cat Mr. Yow, as she discovers her hidden past, murder, and the world of magic waiting for her at the Phoenix Inn.
The mystery begins at midlife…
Targeted Age Group:: all audiences
Heat/Violence Level: Heat Level 2 – PG
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I love mysteries and magic and I was raised on both. Add in a bit of midlife magic and it made the perfect combination. And of course, I had to add in a super smart cat. Mr. Yow made writing this series super fun, so he also has his own book. Me-row! I can't wait to hear how much readers love Mercury Rising, it's a book with a bit of my own midlife magic, so enjoy!
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
When I first started writing Mercury I knew she had to have her life be a mess and that she had to be reaching middle-age (whatever that is!). Mercury also needed a mysterious past, and boy does she have a doozy! She was adopted at age four with no memories, but she does have nightmares. In this first book she comes to realize that those nightmares might be more than just dreams to haunt her, and she might still have family out there–a magical family. And when she realizes that, well, getting into the magic at the Phoenix Inn and all that entails is not a choice anymore, it's something she has to do.
I also wanted to give Mercury grown children, but not too grown. I can't wait for her college age kids to come back later and create havoc in her life. Isn't that what kids do? Just when you think your nest is empty, they come back and fill it up. I can see future books where Mercury's kids visit but they don't know about the magic. Oooh! Exciting!
I also had been rewatching Castle and loved the mystery and madness in that series, but I especially loved the character of Martha, Castle's mom. That's why when you read Mercury Rising you'll recognize a bit of Castle's mom in Mercury's mom. Don't you just love Easter eggs? BTW Castle is full of Easter eggs too!
And then there's the ghosts and witches and supernaturals at the Inn. Oh, and of course, Mercury's nemesis, the hotel manager, Mrs. Haversham. And don't forget the very attractive, but moody, silver fox…or is he a wolf? You'll have to read Mercury Rising to find out.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
WINDMASTER LEGACY is the second book set in the world of Windmaster. The story of the archmage Dal and Ellspeth, captain of Sea Falcon, haunted me enough that I again put pen to paper. I didn’t want to leave the world of the falaire, and even though I don’t like the deep blue, I liked hanging out with mages and stayed with them.
Since the first book in the series, WINDMASTER, did not end on a cliff-hanger, imagination had to work overtime to come up with another story to tell. Eventually, Lord Dal and Captain Ellspeth told of their plans to journey to his mother’s homeland. A documentary on the Australian outback and a picture of Uluru (also known as Ayer’s Rock) provided the setting. While I know I will never visit Australia in person, the research for and writing of WINDMASTER LEGACY allowed me to visit there vicariously.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Who wouldn't like to hang out with a strong, talented woman and a handsome, dark-haired mage? Ellspeth is a combination of everything I thought a leader would be. With her silver hair readers have asked if I based her on myself. The answer is I would be proud to be like her. But there is a problem, I don't like the sea. And I can't play a musical instrument.
A lot of considerations went into creating the archmage, Lord Dal. A chieftain's son, magic cost him the possibility of leading his clan. A talented horseman and skilled swordsman helped him obtain a position in a mercenary unit, but a natural ability to lead helped him rise through the ranks. These same skills aided him after his powers asserted themselves and he eventually became archmage, head of the School of Mages, and responsible for all those with powers. In response to the totality of his experiences and background, duty, honor and loyalty were ingrained into his personality.
Which leads me to one of my favorite characters, Tairneach, head stallion of the fàlaire herd that lives on the landside of the invisible bridge to the Isle of Mages. Inspiration for the falaire came from a childhood picture of me riding a Shetland pony on my family farm.

About the book:
Who knew bugs could become demonic?
A year ago, a series of earthquakes hit around the world. The damage and loss of life were devastating, and the world became weird but no more in the quake zone known as Broken Brooklyn. Bugs became demonic, demons invaded, and people with psychic abilities grew stronger.
Frank Carver and Hector Ramirez, two exterminators, and Jenny Blake, a woman who can talk to ghosts, have created a business to take out these new pests. And business is booming.
When Frank, Jenny, and Hector come across a giant bug, things get even odder: friends go missing, a single female bedbug becomes a prized possession, and Jenny keeps finding bug-possessed people. Frank’s daughter, Angela, an unwilling participant, hears of the coming of the bug king.
As Jenny, Frank, and Hector keep hunting for the female bug and missing friends, they wonder if they are getting closer to what or who caused the earthquake.

In 2003, the Tulip Financial Group conducted a study of 300 millionaires and discovered that 40% of them had been diagnosed with dyslexia.
Often, when people hear “dyslexia,” they assume this to be a sign of low intelligence. And when parents compare their children who have dyslexia with fellow students who are performing well, they worry that their child is lazy, unfocused, or maybe just slow. Unfortunately, it’s easy for many of us to assume that a dyslexia diagnosis is a sign of not being smart or having no interest in learning.
But did you know that people with dyslexia are often high in intelligence? Many successful entrepreneurs and business leaders, such as Richard Branson, received a dyslexia diagnosis.

Four stories. Four couples. Four chances for love.
No Regrets: Darien Francis has a small business, Errands on Call, and Richard Li is a bank guard with a small daughter he rarely sees. They meet when he saves her during a bank robbery and become friends, but she’s afraid to love again after a previous relationship ended badly.
Probation: Shane Kenniston is working in a factory after his life was upended by a false accusation.

They meet again when Beth moves into the same apartment building, but neither is ready for the complications of their relationship.
The Shape of Life: Contractor David Early and lab tech Kate Howard meet in the Laundromat, but her life is consumed by the needs of her disabled child, and David isn’t ready for the responsibility.
House Hunters: Realtor Frank Ellison meets speech therapist Kayla Barnes at an open house, and Kayla’s roommate Gia draws Frank into their circle. Unfortunately Frank’s mistaken first impression of Kayla derails any chance of romance, and Kayla has given up dating after a broken engagement.
Can these reluctant hearts be won over by love?
Targeted Age Group:: Adult
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Each of the four novellas has its initial trigger. A TV show bank robbery for "No Regrets," a newspaper article about registered sex offenders and Halloween for "Probation," a meditation on "The Shape of Life," and the TV show House Hunters for, of course, "House Hunters."
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
There are no simple answers to this question, but Shane Kenniston was inspired in part by the leader of the San Diego Youth Orchestra, which holds open rehearsals in Balboa Park. Although Gia in "House Hunters" is nothing like me, her character is informed by my library career. In general, these are the characters who were willing to talk to me and help the words flow.

Targeted Age Group:: 0-12
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The Adventures of Pete The Squirrel – In The House is based on a real-life, honest-to-goodness friendship that I developed with a Squirrel named Pete. I was impressed with Pete's creativity, determination and ingenuity – especially when he was in pursuit of his favorite treat – walnuts. And, yes Pete really did find a way into my house. I've always been fascinated with animals. I currently have Montana a rescue German Sheppard and 3 rescue kitties: Emily, Julian and Emerson and had many growing up: goldfish, turtles, birds, rabbits, dogs and cats. I have discovered there is so much to learn by observing our animal friends and want to share my discoveries with you!
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I think in this situation, Pete The Squirrel, came up with me! I noticed him watching me carefully when I ate breakfast outside. After many weeks, Pete would come down from his tree, slowly at first, then as we became more familiar to each other, with greater speed. By that time he knew I had his favorite treat with me and of course, he wanted to nibble on that.

They Called Me Margaret by Florence Osmund
Margaret Manning has spent the better part of her life conforming to the expectations of other people—first her father, then her husband. Breaking away from this ruinous tradition, she becomes a cozy mystery writer and decides to open her own bookstore—The Indie Book Nook. But when her husband mimics the behaviors of some of the more unscrupulous characters in her books, she fears that she is losing him, or even worse that she is losing her mind.
While abandonment is nothing new to Margaret—she hasn’t seen or heard from her mother since she was six years old—the fear of losing her husband is devastating. She struggles to find the strength to mend her shattered marriage while also coping with obscure health issues, her daughter’s precarious behavior, a disingenuous neighbor, and an unpredictable mother-in-law.
Who in Margaret’s life is friend and who is foe is not always apparent, and it’s up to her to figure it all out.
Targeted Age Group:: Adult audiences
Heat/Violence Level: Heat Level 3 – PG-13
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I love to create stories about difficult situations in peoples' lives–relatable situations that require critical decision-making and have multiple outcomes given the choices made. I want readers to question the main character's decisions and ponder what they would do in a similar situation.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The protagonist in "They Called Me Margaret" was relatively easy to conceptualize and develop since she is a novelist like me. She wants to be her own person for once in her life, and I wanted roadblocks for her, so what better way than to have a sketchy husband and disingenuous neighbor. And who doesn't like to read about someone else's quirky mother-in-law?

About Featured Book: The Hunt for the Peggy C by John Winn Miller
This gripping novel full of action and suspense, a semifinalist in the Clive Cussler Adventure Writers Competition, introduces Captain Jake Rogers, a hardened smuggler transporting contraband through the U-boat-infested waters of the North Atlantic in the beginning phases of World War II. Rumored to have fled America because of a murder before beginning his career at sea, Rogers takes on cargo few other captains would be willing to carry—if the price is right.
But after witnessing the oppression of Jews in Amsterdam, Rogers agrees to take on the most dangerous cargo he has ever transported: a Jewish family fleeing Nazi persecution. Pursued by Oberleutnant Viktor Brauer, a brutal U-boat captain who will stop at nothing to send Rogers and his crew to the bottom of the ocean, the normally aloof Rogers finds himself drawn in by the family’s warmth and faith, and increasingly willing to do whatever it takes to get them to safety.
A thrilling, beautifully written story of adventure and compassion in the time of an unforgiving European world war, “The Hunt for The Peggy C” not only creates a fascinating, believable, and visual world of its own but keeps readers on the edge of their seats from page one through the shocking, unpredictable end.

Miss Riddell and the Pet Thefts by P.C. James
If this pup doesn’t get found fast, her feisty younger sister could be on the hook for a life-threatening crime…
Manchester, England, 1960s. Miss Riddell has no taste for modern fashions. Which gives her yet another bone to pick with the youngest and wildest family member whom she blames for their father’s recent death. But the stern-minded amateur sleuth puts aside her grievances when her sibling is accused of stealing a murderous mobster’s dog.
Teaming up with her sister and a now-retired friend from the police force, Miss Riddell discovers that the former cop is hot on the tail of a vanished feline film star. And as this unlikely trio of investigators chases two sets of paw prints across the city, she and her partners run headlong into a dastardly plot.
Can youthful impetuosity combined with seasoned caution save the four-legged day?
Targeted Age Group:: All audiences
Heat/Violence Level: Heat Level 1 – G Rated Clean Read
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
My cozy mystery amateur sleuth, Miss Riddell, has solved many murders. I wanted a mystery that didn't include a murder, but may do if she isn't successful. Kidnapped pets are almost as much a draw as murders so I wrote Miss Riddell and the Pet Thefts.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Miss Riddell is based on my aunts from the time, 1950-1990, and also Miss Marple who is my favourite fictional sleuth. My intention with the Miss Riddell Cozy Mysteries series is to follow the career of my super-sleuth from nervous beginnings as a young woman to the final, polished detective of her senior years.

Christian Fiction
An ancient mystery…
A skeptical genius…
Powerful evil ancestors…
A dangerous underworld Crime Syndicate…
A horde of disembodied offspring of fallen angels who threaten the entire world!
Niergel Chronicles – Last Hope describes a journey of discovery, danger, and extraordinary mysteries. It follows the fantastic adventure of a young man with a surprising heritage as he uncovers the astonishing truth about his family history and the earth’s past. He finds himself facing dangerous perils and shocking supernatural threats. All while contending with unsettling truths that upend his understanding of science and the world, forcing him to face the reality of a Creator whose existence he has adamantly denied.
While following the evidence all around him, Jeff’s most profound discovery is the one he least expects — the proof of God’s creative hand.
Targeted Age Group:: 15-99
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I'm a fan of Marvel movies and have always loved superhero stories. The Niergel Chronicles is a superhero adventure with a God-affirming worldview. The story of Jeff’s journey reflects the search that every man and woman confronts sooner or later. Jeff’s greatest discoveries are revelations about himself, and most especially, about his one greatest need — for a personal relationship with his creator.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The story of a fictional family with extraordinary powers envisions what we would be like if not for the events that shortened the lifespan of Noah's descendants. It draws from the Genesis account of fallen angels and their offspring, along with contemporary hero adventures and a dose of Sci-Fi. It's been described as 'Ironman meets Lord of the Rings.'

Busy with an integrated medical center, he was seeing countless patients, making use of just about every modality you could imagine, from general to functional medicine (and everything in between). He loved the work, his colleagues, and his patients. Still, he found himself working longer and longer hours while pushing himself harder and harder…
With his hair falling out and his skin feeling drier than a desert, he was staring at a man in his mirror who resembled his grandfather. No matter the caliber of his medical practice, he was his hardest case to crack. Feeling shame and reaching his limit, as colleagues and patients expressed concern, Dr. Bradley sought outside help.
Alternative medicine, podcasts, online rabbit holes, and every possible avenue led to zero results. The problems persisted, leaving Dr. Bradley feeling like a fraud. He knew his life was on the line. He needed insight—a way to pull all the random puzzle pieces into a cohesive picture.
Dr. Bradley successfully reclaimed his health and happiness and took back his life. And now, through this book, he shares the foundation of how he accomplished these results.

Baby for my Brother’s Best Friend by Josie Hart
One brother’s best friend + one hotel room = two blue lines
If “sexy” had a mascot, my brother’s best friend would be it.
Deep hazel eyes and a diamond cutting jawline.
He offers me the business deal of a lifetime,
If I play a convincing date for his ex’s destination wedding.
But pretending we’re smitten is easier said than done.
His devilish smirk and cocky attitude work me up,
Until I can’t decide if I want to punch him or kiss him.
Now sharing one room in paradise has me questioning everything.
He’s more than off-limits,
But my heart, and his hands, have a mind of their own.
His fingers grazing my skin sends my body humming,
His mouth has me throbbing in brand new places,
And we’re waking up tangled together, again.
At least on the island, our passion is mutual.
I don’t know if he’ll want “us” in real life.
What I do know is he’ll be my brother’s ex-best friend.
Because I’m pregnant.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I love forbidden love stories. I love writing them and I love reading them. It is one of my favorite tropes to write because of the excitement and drama that off-limits naughtiness brings to the table.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I used a combination of approaches. I like to combine my real-life observations with the common character archetypes for romance and add in some unique traits. Then I research and add more backstory to add interest and complexity to my characters.

About Featured Book: 600 Devils by Marjan
45 years later, a spiritually tormented smuggler reveals his shocking secret life.

She’s sure forever is a fantasy. He won’t settle for less than a soulmate. Can these playful pals open their hearts to each other?
Dr. Landry Stark is hamstrung by trauma. After escaping abuse as a teen, the saucy physician doesn’t dare reach for anything beyond the sense of belonging she’s found in small-town Oklahoma. And though she enjoys flirting with her firefighter bestie, she knows better than to give in to her feelings… until in the wake of tragedy, he steals a kiss.
Daniel Davis’s roots run deep. Convinced his parents’ wedded joy is too rare to duplicate, the six-foot-tall boy-next-door’s delight over finally claiming his beautiful friend’s lips wars with worry that they’ll ruin their easy companionship. And the tension mounts when he convinces her to move in so they can temporarily foster a child hurt in a devastating explosion.
Discovering the simple pleasure of having someone to share life’s load, Landry grapples with uncertainty when she is called to New York City to respond to a medical crisis. And though Davis is unsure where their relationship stands in her absence, even the start of a global pandemic can’t dim his dreams of a lifetime of loving her.
Can they turn a terrible disaster into happily ever after?
Take a Chance on Love is the sweetly intense fourth book in the Green Hills romance series. If you like independent heroines, true-blue heroes, and tight-knit communities, then you’ll adore Virginia’dele Smith’s silver lining.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Take a Chance on Love has been in my heart and mind since I began writing The Davenports, my debut mini-series of wholesome and heartfelt, small-town romance. These two characters have spent three previous books flirting, supporting their besties, and developing a strong bond. I simply HAD to share their love story and share their journey to discovering that love is always worth the risk!
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Davis is very closely based on my son, a twenty-four-old who is always the life of the party, the most trust-worthy and loyal of friends, and owner of the biggest heart I've ever known. Ironically, I created Landry before I knew she and Davis would end up together, but she's just the strong and brilliant partner he needs to realize that a forever love is the very best love.

About the book:
Best-selling author Michael Reisig’s latest offering is not exactly a novel, but more of a wild collection of truth and humor, and of insight – social, slightly political, and most of all, honest. It’s also inclined to make you open your eyes and nod your head with a sage grin, as genuine perception strikes you between the eyes. And by the way, it’s funny as hell in a number of places.
I mean, choke on your own spit funny…
The late Mr. Tennison Hawk possessed a powerful social and political insight, all of which were extraordinarily refreshing. Those who have never gambled in life, never sought the reckless truth, or laughed until snot ran out of their noses, probably won’t get him. But if you lean toward honesty at any price, and you tend to appreciate an occasionally ribald, gutsy story, you’re definitely going to like this.
Basically this book will make you laugh your ass off while digging out nuggets of truth that you either didn’t know or refused to admit. It’s not politically correct in very many places, but it’s honest. Primarily it’s an adventure in knowledge and humor.
Now, I’ve been told that this short but relatively enjoyable collection goes well with a couple of cold beers or a glass or two of wine. So… go get that bottle of wine, or that six-pack, settle into your favorite chair, and set off on that adventure of knowledge and humor. And after you’ve absorbed all these bits of wisdom, many people may well think you’re smarter than you actually are…

Be prepared to laugh and cry, to be inspired, and find your heart rejoicing as Jimmy experiences the most profound truths of God’s immense power and immeasurable love.
Targeted Age Group:: 15-99
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
This book grew out of a 20-year journey of writing and personal experiences while exploring the question of why bad things may happen to good people. It is a story about the shocking contrast between human frailty and an infinitely powerful and sovereign God, who is motivated by a love that is as immense and immeasurable as His power.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The boy, Jimmy, is an unlikely prophet, not unlike many examples in the Bible where God used children in remarkable ways. From Joseph’s early dreams to David’s courageous battle with Goliath and Jesus’ selection of a young man named John, likely not more than a teenager himself, to be one of his closest Disciples. It’s not much of a stretch to think that His most significant work still to come could be accomplished through some of the weakest among us.

Has God and all that is good abandoned her?
Even when a strapping Swedish man fights off her attacker, the Roma beauty Charity Baldzo flees to the Garo land, the farm her mother has moved them to. With Charity’s hidden disability and odd heritage, will she ever feel safe?
As no good deed goes unpunished, Ari Johansson’s sheep are killed in revenge by the man who attacked his lovely neighbor, his brother is sent to jail for a murder he did not commit, and his home and barn are burned. At least the woman he helped has offered to care for his nephew Soren.
As the weeks pass, and his desperation increases, Ari doesn’t want to rely on the kindness of the feisty Roma women who’ve been gracious to care for his young nephew, but his choices have dwindled to none.
Until… Charity’s mother presses him to make a deal. An arrangement he should certainly refuse. What if her idea is the only option to see Soren safe and his brother released from prison?
Should he take the beautiful Charity for a wife, hold the deed to the Garo land to secure a living, and give Soren the care and stability he’s never had?
With the toughest choices of his life, attraction to Charity is not a problem, but how will they live? Will their differences create more heartache? Or bring a future back into his life?
Can hope rise from brokenness to create a new family?

Scary story, not for the soft hearted. You never know what is going to happen next. Blake is so real,I hope I never meet him. I am glad I read this book. Really enjoyed the end. Looking forward to
next book in the series.
She is lovely, seductive, and bright. Alex Chase has goals and dreams, and she is positive that she can achieve them. It is hard to say why, but she has an aura that attracts people. Alex’s feelings and gut reactions often prove correct, and she knows when a manuscript is fantastic. Maybe Alex has a supernatural capacity, or she might just integrate a lot of information on a subconscious level. She is manipulative scheming, unscrupulous, and calculating. She is a true narcissistic sociopath who feels no guilt or remorse. Furthermore, she just wants to get where she wants to go. She has achieved her goals by unscrupulous means, but she accomplished what she set out to do.
5.0 out of 5 stars What a thought provoking theme, fantastic
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2023This book will keep you on your toes from begging to the end. I don’t want to give away the twists and turns, but you certainly will be surprised. Yes, what would you do to have a number one bestseller on the New York Best Seller list. How devious would you get? This is what this book provokes, it makes you think about your own scruples and morality. I love the characters, The GOOD ones and the evil ones. The book keeps driving you forward until the climax.
Alex loves to work at Madison Publications in New York. It is the hub of the publishing world. She has met the best authors and can get knowledge. She was able to draw them in like a moth to a flame.
Her ultimate goal is to have a string of bests sellers and be on every chart there is. And of course, TV, Radio, and the media. They would all be begging for time with her. Sure, she was using nefarious methods, but who cares as long as she reached her goal? She is one of a kind. A multi-chosen best-selling author on all the major charts.

The writing is very skillful. Book keeps you aching for more and you end up reading all of it in one sitting. I love the plot and the chemistry between the characters. Great read!! – Goodreads review
A soon to be best-seller, and the first book in the Prophecies of Angels and Demons trilogy.
Life feels infinite when you’re young, but Allie Graves knows all too well that she’s living on borrowed time. Six years ago, she made a deal to save her life in exchange for service to the angels.
It seemed like a sweet bargain when she made it, but what do seventeen-year-olds know about making life choices? Now her six years of service are up and returning to her mortal life comes with some serious consequences.
To top it off, a mystery man has come into her life, but the angels aren’t fond of his brand of magic, so they’ve made it their mission to end him. How’s a girl supposed to get a date when the guy might not survive the week?
Allie has less than a month to uncover a family secret, save the hottie, and plan for life after angel duty. It’s a tall order.
Fans of J Bree and Patricia Briggs will be swept away by this urban fantasy romance full of dark magic, family secrets, and gut-wrenching twists. From the first page to the last, you won’t want to put it down. This is book is recommended for 18+ due to graphic descriptions and sexual situations.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Allie and Simon's story is one that has lived in my mind for years. I found myself asking what Allie would do or how Simon would handle a situation for long enough that I knew it was time to write it down on paper. I'm excited to share it with you and hope you love the characters as much as I do!
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I've always loved a strong FMC, but often I find the characters in stories I've read don't act or think the way I want them to. Allie started in my mind in response to the times I yelled at characters to make better choices; do it differently. Eventually, I would say to the book, Allie would never do that. She would have killed the dark thing in the alley and asked questions later. And so, she was born.

Return to Vienna by Peter Dixon
‘Captain Charles Kennedy’ parachuted into a moonlit Austrian forest and searched frantically for his lost radio set. His real name was Leo Hillman and he was a Jewish refugee from Vienna. He was going home.
Men and women of Churchill’s secret Special Operations Executive worked to free Austria from Hitler’s grip. Many were themselves Austrians who had fled Nazi persecution. Trained and equipped by SOE, they courageously returned to their homeland. Some died in the attempt.
Their moving stories are part of the history of how Austria recovered her sovereignty.
‘An extraordinary and compelling account of the little-known operations of SOE and Austria in World War Two … shines a light on the bravery of the agents, in a narrative told with colour and vivacity, yet great sensitivity and meticulous research’, Dr Helen Fry, author of Spymaster.

About the Book
Success is a great teacher, but failure is a better one. This is a story of an ordinary man’s journey, a rollercoaster ride between success and failure, between elation and misery. Most of all, it’s a book about resilience, not the kind theorised by academics but real, down-and-dirty survival after having been kicked when we are down.
Too many businesses start on a dream and end in a nightmare. The parables woven within these pages serve as a road map which shows the rocks and pitfalls that await the unwary. It shows that there is almost nothing that cannot be overcome. It helps turn those rocks into stepping stones.

About the book:
Don’t you just hate it when you lose your temper and wake up on another planet?
Christian Stone is having a bad day. It wasn’t enough that the global corporation he works for blamed his team for a data breach in the most important programme on Earth. Or that he had to travel halfway across the world to try and clear their name. But when tragedy strikes, and they accuse him of that as well, Chris loses it, with unexpected—and unexplainable—results.
He wakes on another world, at the Dawn Academy, where he is invited to train, to develop and to control what they call his Gift. There’s just one catch. You can’t leave until you pass the Grading.
Chris soon finds that there are dark forces determined to keep him on Dawn, to prevent him from returning to Earth to shape its destiny. He must do all he can to leave, before it is too late to save the world.
Dawn is the first book in the science fantasy series The Enchanters. If you like magic and alien worlds, a dystopian future and fantastic monsters, galactic prophecies and killer tech, then you’ll love Mark Wylie’s page turning new novel.

My business caters to the unsung heroes of the modern world, the many men and women who clean houses for a living. Many of them are well paid, but others, just stumbling into cleaning on their own, undervalue their work and therefore are underpaid.
This book is dedicated to all cleaning professionals, and to their children.
It is also dedicated to all self-employed and family owned businesses. We people who work together for love more than money are a special breed. I’m proud to be a part of that select group.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
My amazing younger sister helped inspire this book. We never had to endure what the two lead characters did in my book, but I know that if I had been in similar spot as Elaine, she would have helped me. Like the book's younger sister, my real life little sister is also cuter than me, and sometimes that made me jealous. She was (and still is) more inhibited than Kaye (with an e), and is a wonderfully fun person to be around.
The son was inspired by every child trapped in an underperforming school. For a few months I attended such a school. I'm grateful it was only a few months.

For this princess forced under an enchantment, escaping from her spell is only the first ordeal. Claiming the throne is even more dangerous.
Princess Rose Amelia has spent a hundred years trapped in a magical garden, surrounded by walls of thorns that protect her from rescuers she never wanted. Nothing ever changes – until the spell twists to threaten her as well, and a prince finally breaks through the thorns.
Prince Terrence knows he would never be his father’s preference to inherit the throne. But he also knows his oldest brother won’t take care of their people, and rescuing the Princess Behind Thorns is the only way he can become heir. He planned on marrying her to claim the inheritance; he didn’t plan on falling in love with her.
Escaping from the magical garden and returning to court will plunge Terrence and Rose both into a deadly world of politics, intrigue and betrayals. Making a claim to the throne doesn’t guarantee it will be accepted, and deciding to marry doesn’t mean that they actually can. To protect the country and themselves, they must learn who to trust and who is an enemy – and somehow learn how to admit their feelings for each other too.
This fantasy romance, the first in a series, brings a new angle to the story of Sleeping Beauty by starting where most versions end. If you enjoy heroines finding their strength, fantasy worlds with a touch of intrigue, and slightly magical cats, you won’t want to miss the Thorns Saga.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
This book began as a short story about a princess trapped in a magical garden. By the end of the story, I had two lead characters I really enjoyed who were falling in love with each other, but it was also clear that escaping the garden would only lead them into more crises when they returned home. As I continued to explore what would happen next, the story kept growing – until now it's a planned five book series!
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Rose and Terrence both subvert fairy tale expectations. Although she seems to be Sleeping Beauty, Rose is both literally and figuratively awake, in terms of having agency and impact on the story, and making her own choices. Terrence isn't a warrior prince; his great strength is kindness.

Mint Juleps & Moonlight Melodies by N.D. Jackson
She was ready to become her own woman…
Passion.
It’s the one thing that’s been missing from Marilyn’s life.
After years of mediocre sex and a distinct lack of orgasms, she gets up in the middle of the deed, ending her relationship with the golden boy everyone thought she would marry.
A year later she’s ready to pursue her dreams.
And her passions.
When her cousin Dixie proposes a summer in New Orleans to work on their goals away from parental expectations, Marilyn eagerly agrees.
He wasn’t ready for the bombshell girl next door…
Zack likes his life just the way it is, especially now that his band books enough gigs to pay the bills.
When he needs an itch scratched there’s no end of willing women,
He hadn’t counted on the sweet southern belle next door,
Or those miles of smooth legs on display in those itty bitty shorts she favored.
When she approached him in that shy way of hers asking for lessons on passion, he thought she was crazy.
Then he thought she was the best damn thing that ever happened to him.
It was supposed to be temporary.
Fun.
Not forever.

I spent a week in New Orleans once many years ago and I fell in love with the place. There's this energy and heat about the city that's just intoxicating and it screamed hot summer romance to me, so I'd been looking for a way to incorporate it into my storytelling and this book along with the entire Rebel Girlz series was born.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I thought of proper southern girls doing what they're told like some of my favorite movies when I was a kid, except they don't do what they're told, they strike out to make careers and lives of their own, falling in love with men they're families would never have chose for them. Marilyn is the quintessential southern good girl and it hasn't made her happy so I decided she would step way outside of her comfort zone to make herself happy.

Storm Clouds Rolling In (#1 in the Bregdan Chronicles Historical Fiction Series) by Ginny Dye
Amazon Best-Selling Author & Series
Review: Moses had come to watch his daddy die. I read the first sentence of the first book and knew I would read every word of what Ginny Dye writes. I’ve devoured this remarkable saga, and all 19 that follow! I will read every new one that comes.
Unforgettable characters that will capture your heart. Rich, accurate, historical detail. These are the hallmarks of Ginny Dye’s work. The bestselling Bregdan Chronicles novels have captured the hearts of fans all over the world. This enthralling saga encompassing the Civil War & Reconstruction has eighteen books right now, but many more are coming.
Warning – the Bregdan Chronicles will suck you in and never let you go!
Book Description:
Carrie had always lived a charmed life, but restlessness gnawed at her soul. She dreamed of a different future, but dramatic changes are taking place in the South. Her heart and mind would soon be tested by fire – sweeping away dreamed of freedom as chaos descends.
Carrie Cromwell comes of age as the storm clouds of the Civil War swallow America. Born with a fiery spirit and a strong mind, she finds herself struggling between the common wisdom of the South and the truth she has discovered. The activities of the Underground Railroad and her close friendships with the Cromwell Plantation slaves create difficult choices. But when her decisions put her at odds with her heritage and challenge her dreams, will she be able to give up all that is precious to her?
This first book of The Bregdan Chronicles historical fiction series will pull you in and never let you go. You’ll experience the Civil War era (and all the years to come) through the eyes of both White and Black, Free & Slave, Southern & Northern – and you’ll fall in love with every character.
Review: I never thought I would find a series to enthrall me like The Bregdan Chronicles has. I was wrong! I am struggling to find appropriate words to describe the awe I am in, and find myself failing miserably. I absolutely could not put these books down. I would finish one, and immediately hop online to go get the next one, sometimes in the wee hours of the morning, when my tail should have been asleep. The writing style of this author brings you right into the story as if you are a part of it. She has amazing talent to capture the imagination, and bring you right into a virtual reality. I have fallen in love with every one of these characters – especially the strong women! – and have become completely entranced with each life represented.
The historical account of this time period was so right on, so very vivid, you almost feel like you’ve walked right into it. These books became so alive, I actually had dreams at night of battle. (I’m not even kidding.) But it goes further. There were conversations in these books that had me reading over them several times. Life lessons. Sage advice. The kind of wisdom that comes from every day life. Moments that were so profound, they pierced my heart with an accuracy that I can’t even begin to explain.
Many times, the lives and hearts of each character were changed and rocked with revelation that came about in a moment, yet, so deeply touching the deepest recesses of the heart, that you can’t go beyond it, without it having changed you as well, as you read it.
Thank you, Ginny Dye, not only for an amazing journey, but for those light bulb moments throughout each book, that reached beyond the pages, and made their home inside the soul. What can I say overall? Well, let me put it like this: these books are like… “Gone with the Wind” meets up with “Eat, Pray, Love”; then whispers some “Secret life of Bees”, forges some “Steel Magnolia’s”, and at times, wraps itself with the “Color Purple.” Sigh. Did I mention how much I loved these books?

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
A lot of people ask me why I chose to write about the Civil War and Reconstruction.
The answer is because the pizza restaurant wasn’t open yet!
Okay, so that’s only part of the truth… It’s true that the pizza restaurant I wanted to eat at in my then hometown of Richmond, VA wasn’t going to be open for another hour, but there is more to the story.
It was a beautiful day so I decided to go for a walk.
As I strolled along the treed streets of Richmond, I saw a sign indicating there was a re-enactment happening that day for the Chimborazo Hospital.
I had no idea what that even was, but I decided since I had time to kill, and because I knew the site offered a fabulous view of the James River, I decided to go up the hill to discover what it was all about.
Little did I know how much it would change my life.
I had decided to write an historical fiction novel, but I had absolutely no idea what I was going to write about. How do you decide what fascinating historical thing you want to write about?
There are SO many stories that deserve to be told.
Anyway, up the hill I went.
When I arrived on the bluff overlooking the James River I saw several large tents that had been set up to represent the hospital wards where tens of thousands of Confederate soldiers were taken care of during the Civil War.
I could hear voices coming from inside one of them, so I went inside.
I was delighted to see a young woman dressed in 1860’s clothing, and a circle of 20-30 second graders sitting around her on the ground. They were listening with rapt attention.
I listened along with them, enjoying learning more about what had happened at the hospital, but also horrified by the hardships and suffering that had been endured there.
When the young lady finished speaking, she asked if anyone had questions. I waited to see if any of the children would respond. When they remained silent, I raised my hand.
“Yes?” the young woman asked.
I asked what I thought was an innocent question. “Are there any of the documents left from the original hospital?” I love original documents because they haven’t been doctored yet!
She looked exasperated, gave me a look that said she doubted my intelligence, and snapped, “Well, no, of course not. They were all burned when the Yankees came down here and set fire to Richmond!"
Well, I didn’t know a lot about the Civil War at that point, but I knew that wasn’t true.
I pondered whether to challenge her and then looked again at the group of 2nd graders clustered around her – listening… believing they were hearing the truth.
I raised my hand again. I could tell she didn’t want to acknowledge me, but she did. “Yes?”
I spoke calmly. “Isn’t it true that the Confederates set fire to Richmond?”
Her eyes flashed with anger as she snapped, “Well, they wouldn’t have done it if those Damn Yankees hadn’t been here!”
THAT was the moment I decided to write about the Civil War.
As I looked at all those impressionable children who were being poisoned with ignorant bias, I knew I had to write books that would tell the truth.
Little did I know how very little of the truth I actually knew at that point – or to this very moment. Every book I write causes my mouth to hang open in disbelief as I learn the truth of our history.
My passion to reveal it – within the lives of characters you fall in love with – only grows with every book I write.
When I started this series, I thought I would just write 5 books that would tell the story of the Civil War.
If I knew very little about the Civil War, I truly knew NOTHING about Reconstruction. When I finished Book # 5 (The Last Long Night), I thought I was done.
I had no idea if there was enough during Reconstruction years to actually write a book around, but I decided to at least take a look.
What I discovered in my research astonished me. I knew I had to keep writing – telling the stories that most Americans have absolutely zero knowledge about.
It has been a fascinating journey. Every book has challenged me. Every book has changed me. I can hardly wait to see where history takes me next!
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I'm not the kind of writer that carefully outlines the plot and creates the characters before I begin to write. Honestly, I wouldn't even know how to do it.
I started The Bregdan Chronicles with the idea of a free-spirited woman who challenged the norms of the time. Carrie Cromwell and all the characters that have followed within the 20 books have come to life on the page as I write the story.
It may sound simplistic to say HISTORY has created each character, but it is also the absolute truth.

My inspiration for this book came from my child's passion for dinosaurs and my own love for movies like Jurassic Park. I wanted to create a fun and educational book that would ignite a child's imagination and take them on an exciting adventure through the world of dinosaurs. With engaging rhymes and colorful illustrations, I hope to inspire a new generation of young readers to learn more about these incredible creatures that once roamed the earth.

For my dinosaur characters, I was inspired by the unique traits and characteristics of each dinosaur species. I wanted to create a diverse cast of characters that would capture the imagination of children and spark their curiosity about the world of dinosaurs.

From the war-torn scenes of the 1960s to the youthful and ambitious atmosphere of the mid-2000s, the worlds that Ellie and Sara grew up in are different in many times. The one exception to this change: is love. As the two women find love on an island that sets them free, they realise that their stories might have more in common than meets the eye. A secret that holds their stories together also threatens to make them fall apart.
The choice is theirs: is love, regardless of its time, stronger than the secrets they keep?

My Demon, My Jesus by Blue Tapp
A near-death experience, a botched suicide that worked… then didn’t.
God had another plan.
“My Demon, My Jesus” is a Christian memoir about the author’s struggle with suicidal depression and how she destroyed her demons.
At 30 years old, Blue attempted suicide by swallowing a handful of sleeping pills. Her spirit left her body before she was brought back to life in the hospital. Blue is alive today because God miraculously saved her life. Four angels appeared and helped her call for help before she died.
However Blue’s battle with depression was far from over. She spent the next three years addicted to prescription medication under the care of a psychiatrist. But pills cannot cure depression.
Today Blue is completely free of depression and medication. She has learned the keys to living an amazing life of joy and victory. ”My Demon, My Jesus” describes her healing process through meditative prayer. Others who suffer from depression can follow these same steps to reach true lasting healing.
Blue’s healing was miraculous. But it was not instantaneous. It was a process of learning how to think in a healthy way, how to shift thought patterns and spirit life from defeat to victory. Blue’s journey will help others climb their way out of the trap of poisonous thought patterns and prescribed drug addictions. There are so many people fighting this battle…
Blue’s story took another extraordinary twist in 2019. She began experiencing astonishing visions where her soul was taken to heaven to pray for the world with millions of other saints. Today the visions continue weekly with messages from heaven. God wants us to know that He loves and cares deeply about each one of us. He wants us to know Him intimately. All believers are being called to join with the saints in praying for our world, for a great awakening that will draw multitudes of people to the heart of God.
One of God’s charges was to write everything down, every vision in detail. As she did this, a connection became apparent between the visions and her own life journey, from her early experiences of demonic oppression and suicidal depression to eventual miraculous healing. The visions about God’s love were a message of hope to everyone battling depression.
So she’s told it all… from a demonically oppressed disturbed child who also fell in love with Jesus and prayed to become a Christian at six years old…to a suicidally depressed young adult who overdosed on sleeping pills and was brought back from death in the hospital…to years addicted to prescription drugs…to miraculous healing, victorious life, and divine visions. Don’t miss this incredible true story!

Blue’s artistic vision emerges from her own story of struggle with suicidal depression, addiction and an emotionally abusive childhood home. Her desire is that her story might be used to heal others from oppressions and depression.

About the book:
After suddenly receiving custody of his five year old son, Ben must learn how to be a dad. The fact that he’d even fathered a child was news to him. Not only does this mean restructuring his sixty-hour workweek and becoming responsible for another human being, but also Kyle has autism. Enter the school system and a shaky beginning. Under the guidance of a gifted teacher, Ben and Kyle take tentative steps to becoming father and son.
Teacher Melanie Nicols sees Ben as a deadbeat dad, but grudgingly comes to admire how he hangs in, determined to learn for his son’s sake. Her admiration grows to more as father and son come to rely on Melanie being a part of their lives.
When parents receive the news that their child has autism, they spend countless hours researching the subject, usually at night, after an exhausting day. Teachers, when they hear that they’ll have a student with an autism spectrum disorder, also try to learn as much as they can. This novel was written for such parents and teachers – an entertaining read that’s fun, yet still offers strategies and information on autism.

About Featured Book: The Final Frame by Harmony Reed
Free for a limited time from 3/25/2023 through 4/10/2023
He sacrificed his family for ambition — but now they’re all he has left.
Cameron Parrish became Hollywood’s #1 action director by refusing to use AI-assist technology. Every film is a box office success, but neither fame nor fortune makes up for the fact that Cameron’s dying to make real cinema — an Oscar-worthy movie that will show the world he’s an auteur, not the clever hack that the critics make him out to be.
But mere hours after being greenlit for the film he knows he was born to shoot, director Cameron Parrish is diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. There’s no treatment, and if he’s lucky, he might make it another year, but more likely, he’s got a few months left.
As word gets out about his illness, Cameron realizes he has no true friends. No real family either: his obsession with finding perfection behind the camera lens has long since alienated his ex-wife and his adult son.
Desperate to make his final days matter, he signs up for an experimental program that promises to help him discover the meaning of his life — and his death.
Accompanied by an artificial intelligence named Sofia, Cameron embarks on a bucket list journey — from the Maldives and Bhutan to Toledo and Morocco — designed to round out his unbalanced life and help him make peace with his impending death.
But what if it’s too late for Cameron to see the world through a new lens?
Eat, Pray, Love meets The Bucket List in this vibrant but poignant story exploring the possibility of second chances and the unexpected beauty of an imperfect life.

Book I: The Disappearance – Everything in ex-Marine Sean O’Connell’s life changes in an instant when an unspeakable evil enters a small and secluded Midwestern cottage town during the 4th of July holiday and snatches his wife and son, along with the other residents of the town.
Book II: The Revelations – As Sean digs to the heart of this conspiracy, he learns that a ruthless and clandestine group of Americans known as the Foundation, whose members occupy positions within the highest echelons of the United States government and defense industry, has known for decades the existence of extraterrestrials and their secret history on the planet, a detailed history dating back to the years in the wake of World War II. Since then, the Foundation has studied them, collaborated with them, and now is intent on destroying them.
Book III: The Resistance – When it seemed that no one would be willing to expel the invaders and reclaim the planet on behalf of humanity, when it seemed no one could possibly rescue mankind from the bottomless chasm of obliteration where its light would be extinguished forever, one man stepped in to fill the void. Finally, at long last, a resistance has formed.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I was an avid reader when I was young and I quickly realized I had a penchant for writing. When I was nineteen years old and on break from college, I decided to sit down and start writing a story. Inspired by The X-Files, John Carpenter's The Thing, Ridley Scott's Alien and James Cameron's sequel Aliens, and by master spy writers like Robert Ludlum, Frederick Forsyth and Jack Higgins, along with a slew of other writers and directors, I had no idea that when I put pen to paper, I was embarking on a journey that would last 20+ years and evolve into a trilogy spanning hundreds of thousands of words.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I was a film major in college so when developing or creating a new character, I always envisioned a particular actor or actress playing that particular role in order to place a face on him/her. In terms of a name, sometimes it was extremely well considered and other times it was as whimsical as looking out the train on my commute to work and seeing a name on a sign or billboard.

How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I enjoy reading books about magic, sci-fi, and fantasy. Many of the books I read inspire my characters, but essentially I start to write and the characters begin to form. When I'm in writing mode, I feel like the characters take over and become their own entity. It's a great feeling.

About the book:
She can’t stand him. The feeling is mutual. Can they make it through quarantine together?
Quinn Hadley only does one thing as well as he plays hockey—wheeling the ladies. He’s the envy of his teammates. With puck bunnies on speed dial in every city, he never spends a night alone unless it’s by choice. He has a certain type—hot, blond, and easy. So when he meets Sarah Nelson, bagging her is nowhere on his radar. Not only is she a brunette, but her fiery, take-no-prisoners style is a turn-off. Plus, she’s his teammate’s sister and totally off-limits.
But his disabled mother—who’s just been foisted on him—loves Sarah. And not only is his mom methodically ruining his sweet bachelor lifestyle, but she keeps firing every caregiver Quinn hires for her. So when COVID-19 puts everyone on lockdown, Quinn offers Sarah an opportunity she can’t refuse, despite the warning bells clanging in his head.
Sarah Nelson is fleeing a devastating breakup and has nowhere to go but to her brother’s place in Denver. An engineer by training, she needs a job pronto so she can yank herself back up on her own two feet. But COVID-19 stops her dead in her tracks. So when Quinn Hadley offers her a temporary job making stupid money, she has a hard time refusing—despite the fact she has to live under the same roof with a guy who turns her stomach. She’s had too much experience with charmers like him, and Quinn Hadley is the biggest charmer of all. With a track record to prove it. But it’s the other side of Quinn she never expects, and it’s far more lethal than his public persona.
When Mr. Smooth and Ms. Prickly shelter in place together, not even his mansion is big enough to contain the fireworks.

Vampire Dante Allegretti hates his sucky life. Born into a family of energy siphoners, he’s desperate to reinvent himself as a fun-loving normal guy rather than a crowdsourcing parasite. To stop the draining urges, Dante resorts to grinding alternative meds in an ancient Mortar & Pestle, not knowing it contains magical properties.
Enter wisecracking thirty-year-old Sophie Arley, who lives with her clingy parents. Working three jobs and craving independence, she’s come back strong after a breakdown crashed her cozy world. So when the weird, hot guy she just met-cute asks Sophie to the movies, she agrees.
Sophie won’t spoil their magical connection by mentioning her heartbreak. And Dante dreads telling Sophie about his dark side. Will the power from the Mortar & Pestle guide them to their happily ever after despite the secrets and lies?

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The idea for Revamped, my new book, came about one afternoon when I was socializing with six other author friends. Mind you, we weren’t at a happy hour.
We were all on Zoom, gathered around our computer screens discussing writing and marketing, when someone suggested we write a series together.
“What would make it a series?” someone else asked.
“How about a common element that travels through time? Like the movie about those traveling pants?”
“Like a hat?”
“A frying pan?”
“A necklace?”
“A Mortar & Pestle?”
Boom!
We all came up with book proposals and chattered about them. It’s much easier to pop out ideas for a book than to write it.
Since my favorite books to read and write are women’s humorous romantic fiction, that’s what I said I’d write.
Until someone said, “Why don’t you throw in paranormal? Maybe a vampire?”
“I don’t know anything about paranormal.” Thinking Oh, no, dark, gaunt characters with big teeth. “I don’t like all that blood.”
“Your character can be an energy vampire,” a helpful voice said. “No blood.”
In the end, I took the bait and invented a new world, different from the world I usually wrote in. What fun I had cooking up trouble for Dante, my energy vampire, and Sophie, his honey.
And we all had a ball figuring out how the Mortar & Pestle would bring our two main characters together for a little serious smooching.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
In order to answer this question, I interviewed my main character. When I wrote the book, the idea of being different from other people was the theme I wanted to explore. Dante helped me work through that idea.
A Dialogue with the Vampire
Shirley: I have a few questions for our readers. They’re curious.
Dante: I suppose they want to know about my special powers.
Shirley: Not really. They want to know what it’s like to date a vampire.
Dante: [eyes widen] I don’t talk about being a vampire. Not openly.
Shirley: The thing is, I wrote a whole book about you so it’s no secret, not anymore. For instance, one reader would like to know if you would suck on her neck. You know, take a little taste.
Dante: That’s ridiculous. First of all, I’m not that kind of vampire. I’m an energy vampire. Meaning I get energy from people by depleting their resources. Bored people are especially easy targets, but angry men run a close second.
Shirley: Men in particular? Why is that?
Dante: Their negative energy and muscle mass make them vulnerable.
Shirley: Do you still drain people’s energy?
Dante: I’ve stopped living that life. I attend DE meetings––that stands for Dis-Energy––two or three times a week. It’s not easy, but my energy sobriety is important.
Shirley: Anyone who dated you would have to respect the work that went into your lifestyle change.
Dante: I don’t want to be thought of as a vampire. I’m a normal guy with issues like anyone else. With a few differences.
Shirley: So it’s a daily challenge, right?
Dante: Absolutely. I don’t hang around with other vampires. Very few people know I’m a vampire, only a few close friends.
Shirley: Are you still at odds with your family?
Dante: I don’t think that will ever be resolved. [Swipes a hand through his hair.] You want to know something?
Shirley: Of course.
Dante: Energy vampires don’t have much fun. You can’t hang out with regular people. It’s too tempting and how can you look yourself in the face if you’re draining your friends.
Shirley: That sounds gross, using your friends.
Dante. Yeah, that’s why I never had friends. Until I met Groucho, my best friend. But I knew the second I met him he was a vampire.
Shirley: What is it, a sixth sense?
Dante: Sort of. When it comes to friends, you’re limited to the few energy vampires around and no one wants friends who literally suck. That’s why I rejected the whole lifestyle. I’m over thirty and I’ve just begun living. I feel so lucky.
Shirley: So what advice do you have for women interested in dating vampires?
Dante: Don’t do it.
Shirley: Sort of a dead end, isn’t it?
Dante: Unless you’re with a man who promises to give up that way of life.
Shirley: Can you tell me more? What was the most difficult part of changing?
Dante: I’ll tell you that every little and big thing in my life changed. If I told you more, I’d be spoiling the read and besides, telling is boring.
Shirley: Well, thanks, Dante. Do you know if Groucho will be in the sequel?
Dante: Since you’re writing the books, you’ll have to answer that one, won’t you?

He then discovers incriminating evidence against the cops, and his new challenge becomes how to keep himself and his client alive pending a new trial. Garbuncle is an alcoholic, and his courtroom remarks and outlandish attire startle the judge, whom the attorney brings to his side in arguing a legal conundrum. His miserly ways cause a tug of war with his burly apartment tenant, who ends up helping with the probe of the cops. But when the woman Garbuncle falls in love with is caught up in the investigation, tragedy results. Blood on Their Hands has everything: suspense, thrills, plot twists, comedy, a moving love story, crackling courtroom drama, unforgettable characters, realistic dialogue, intrigue, moral tension, and a message that resonates in our time.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I was inspired to write this book because I had grown tired of seeing older women in television, film and literature mostly portrayed as the evil queen, jilted first wife or wise grandmother. I wanted to see mature women as superheroes fighting to save the Universe. I also wanted to explore what it means to age in a more supernatural/sci-fi setting.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I first started to visualize women with wrinkles and white hair in tactical gear on a battlefield. Then, I created a Pinterest board for my novel and starting putting my dream cast of characters together as if it was a movie. Once I could visualize them physically, I went to work on their personalities.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The inspiration behind this book was to place men-who-love-men as the main heroes in an intergalactic adventure full of action and thrills. Showcasing genuine, one-of-a-kind characters, Allure of Oartheca is the first chapter in an epic story where gay guys take the centre stage in a classic – but unique – sci-fi universe.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
My characters came from the need to showcase and accurately portray strong, mature men who just happen to love other men. With ambitions, strengths and foibles that are unique to them, I strive to make sure my characters are authentic, relatable and lovable, being the kind of heroes you can get behind and really cheer for.

To Own Two Suns is a novel about a crew of scientists who are exploring our solar system when they encounter an alien spacecraft.
The plot focuses on two main characters: Captain Jerry Jerrison and Muni of the Green Hill Clan from the Morgi planet. Jerry Jerrison is the captain of a Solar Missions Ship (SMS) from Earth. His dream since childhood has been to encounter extraterrestrial life. When the Morgi spacecraft decelerates and is detected by Jerrison’s ship, Jerrison and his crew make a daring decision to act before command back on earth can tell them to avoid contact. Two of the crew explore the craft to discover what life, if any, is occupying such a superior vessel.
Muni, the sole occupant of the craft, is in a state of deep sleep. The ship’s Artificial Intelligence must decide what to do about the humans and their failing spaceship without Muni’s guidance.
Muni’s mission is to find a way to claim the earth’s solar system for his clan. If he fails, his entire family will be killed. He is his family’s last hope. As the novel progresses, Muni and the humans must find a way to communicate, to understand each other, and to form a compatible relationship that will hopefully not result in the extermination of either or both groups.
Jerrison learns the Morgi civilization will accept humans as true “people”, not just clever animals, only if they can prove their greatness. Morgi law: Only against great odds can greatness be revealed. Jerrison, a scientist, must become a warrior if he is to save both humanity and Muni’s clan. If he fails, the human race and Muni’s clan will be exterminated.

Faster than light travel is a science fiction trope, but what is FTL is limited, and most interstellar travel is slower than light? What if, therrefore, a spaceship can arrive expecting ice age earth and cavemen instead discovers an interplanetary human society? Why would that be bad?
What if E.T's believe anything that communicates with 'fuzzy' sound waves instead of precise light signals (as do cuttlefish in our oceans) puts spacefaring humans in the same category we do clever ant colonies?
How many ways does biology control our emotions?
Can two species with very different biologies develop true friendships?
This book provides a few guesses to those questions.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The humans were inspired by the many scientists I've read about and met.
The human crew on the exploratory mission to the Kuiper Belt beyond Pluto see themselves as peaceful scientists — as is the image of many scientists. I believe people willing to explore the fringes of ideas possess the courage it takes to be true warriors, and to meet the challenges their encounter with the Morgi will demand of them. Since their round trip voyage would take a minimum of twenty years, they are as much warriors as are any of our exploring ancestors.
Muni, the primary alien was fun. I wanted to make him as different as possible from humans, and yet nobly motivated to save his family. I gave him an amphibian type biology, with an assumption of many young hatched, with the expectation only a few would make it to full adulthood. This pattern would repeat throughout their culture. Each clan would start with many, but expect at any time to be exterminated by others just like their young expect a high mortality rate. Hence the constant pressure to reveal their idea of greatness: Only against great odds (the one in a thousand survival rate) can greatness be revealed. At the same time, great love can be expereinced between indiviuals.

Fake Dating my Baby Daddy by Josie Hart
I’m fake dating the hottest man alive.
And he doesn’t know he put a baby in my belly.
Gavin Austin. The epitome of sexy.
A real life demigod with sculpted cheekbones and a perfect body to match that 10/10 face.
After seeing the TV report on his recent breakup,
I can’t stop the intrusive thoughts about everything I want him to do to me.
It’s just my own little fantasy, for now.
When his jilted ex-girlfriend wants back into his life,
I grab his hand and play new girlfriend.
Fake dating for pretenses only… until it isn’t.
Just a flick tingles all my secret spots,
And his touch marks something deep inside me.
The feelings between us just got too real,
And this maverick’s instinct is to run.
But can I make him stay now that he’s my baby daddy?
Fake Dating my Baby Daddy is set in the same universe as my Grumpy Alpha Billionaires and Bossy Billionaire Brothers series.
The couples make frequent cameos, most notably Ava & Noah from Accidental Baby for the Billionaire.
This is a complete standalone, with no cliffhanger and no cheating. Only undeniable chemistry, hot naughty times, and the most satisfying HEA to leave you feeling warm, and a little tingly inside.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
While visiting with daughter and son-in-law in their home in a large retirement community, my son-in-law disappeared for a while. Daughter said, "He's taking care of his trash harem." When she told me what he was doing, I knew I had to write a mystery with a trash harem. And of course, I wanted to use the enviornment of a retirement community. The one in the book is fictional. I love Temecula and all the wineries plus the fact that the famous mystery writer Erle Stanley Gardner once lived in the area and had a great time doing the research for the book. And of course, since it's a Tempe Crabtree mystery, I included a bit about the Pechanga Indians.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Since this is a long standing series, Tempe, who is Native American, and her pastor husband Hutch are as real to me as any of my friends. I first came up with her when I met a lovely Indian woman who lives on the nearby reservation, a female deputy I wrote an article about for our local newspaper, and a female police officer I did a grave yard shift ride-along with. Tempe is a combination of all three. As for the people who live in the fictional retirement community, they like many characters in my book, just seem to pop into my imagination.

About Featured Book: EPICURUS and THE PLEASANT LIFE: A Philosophy of Nature Kindle Edition– November 30, 2022 – Revised and Expanded 2nd Edition by Haris Dimitriadis
This book seeks to reintroduce pleasure as our innate guide to living a healthy and happy life—a simple yet powerful assertion based on empirical data, which stands up to the strictest scrutiny.
Along this journey, we will explore evidence throughout the historical evolution of philosophy up to the time of Epicurus, the ancient Greek philosopher who laid the foundations for a philosophy of nature. More specifically, it’s the only philosophy that distinguishes pleasure as the inherent human guide to a healthy and happy life.
Our multiscreen, one-click modern society is often accused of hedonism, yet this perception is contradicted by a widespread obsession with pain. Of course, pain relief and pain control are noteworthy themes, yet it remains remarkable that a minority seeks to understand pleasure and its role in life. Despite its significance, very few have endeavored to recognize and present guidelines based on scientific evidence that pleasure promotes health and happiness.
Contemporary society is characterized by a denial and fear of pleasure. This behavior is usually unconscious and always difficult to overcome. In many ways, we are all influenced and sometimes even consciously trained to resist pleasure.
This is taught to us by parents, medical professionals, educators, religious leaders, and other authority figures. Furthermore, the enemy is also often found within. Most of us harbor self-destructive tendencies which lead us to deny ourselves pleasure for a variety of reasons.
For many, healthy living hinges on deprivation. Aspirations to have a healthy body, for example, often lead to rigorous, rigid diets which are only effective for the moment they are followed. Meals become a source of measured pain in anticipation of a successful outcome that can never be extricated from denial and deficit. Contrasted with a life guided by pleasure, little (if any) resemblance is perceived. When one is motivated by pleasure, satisfaction, and fulfillment are emphasized rather than abstinence and deprivation.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
In 2015 I read a post by the lifestyle influencer Gala Darling called "Style Direction: Stepford Witch". I fell in love with the idea of a "Real Housewitches" style and concept. Then when I watched "Don't Worry Darling" in 2022, I decided to pivot my romance focus to noir, suspense, and paranormal. I wrote Queen Trick as one of a series of three playing-card themed noir suspense romance novellas, one in the 50's, one in the 60's and one in the 70's. But the idea of "Hollywood Witches" (the 60's one) was just too delicious and I wanted to stay in that world forever. So I kept writing!
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I am a voracious reader and suspect that my characters are a blend of my favorites from other authors! My male character is for sure partly based on "Stash" from Princess Daisy by Judith Krantz, and my female lead has a bit of The Love Witch (movie) in her.

Jack has some ‘splainin’ to do!
That’s right! Callie Lassiter’s normally well-behaved Great Dane Jack has run off and done the wild thing with the neighbor’s dog. It must be puppy love! It’s doubly embarrassing since she’s a professional dog trainer. Of course, the neighbor would have to be hot, hot nightclub owner bad boy Owen McKay, just the kind of man Callie is determined to avoid.
Owen’s comfortable with his playboy status and the hype in the media. But the ground moves beneath his feet when he gets an eyeful of the girl next door. The Dog Whisperer never looked this good! How can he convince this wholesome honey that his player days are behind him? Maybe Jill, his Great Dane can help him with this dilemma now that she’s pregnant and Callie’s dog is to blame.

Quartermaster by Marilyn Barr
Catalina
He violated me. Don Rodrigo took my family’s business, home, and titles, but he will never own me. I’m on the run. He’s threatened to expose my secret. My last hope is to intercept the ship carrying my dowry before our match is permanent. Trusting pirates to give me a fair share is foolish but not as much as staying on the same island as my attacker…
Chub
The letter from our arch-nemesis was written in feminine calligraphy but our nutmeg Captain Teeth didn’t notice. Blimey that because the author of the letter is my lady love. I’d bet my last doubloon. If only she didn’t shrink away from my touch… Killing every scoundrel who dared to hurt her isn’t helping…but it cools the rage I hold inside.
Can Chub teach Catalina to assemble her shattered fragments into the strong woman she wants to be or is she too broken to believe in herself? Will she accept a pirate’s promise of true love or was the Mortar & Pestle’s message too late for lonely Chub to claim his lady love?

Heat/Violence Level: Heat Level 4 – R Rated
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I’m a homeschooling mom. I taught the foundations of democracy to my then-10-year-old to kick off his US history class. From Hammurabi’s code in ancient Mesopotamia to the pirate parlay code, I found democracy was found in more places than in ancient Greece and the colonial USA. In fact, women and people of color had equal rights on the sea, but not on land in colonial America. I fell in love with the governing systems of what I always thought were “lawless scoundrels.” Every job aboard was a voted position from Captain to poop deck scrubber, and each person holding those positions had an equal vote. Pirate Captains were slave liberators and portrayed as villains because the ones losing money are the same men writing the history. The truth is buried in the shipping logs from the port masters and merchant boat Captains. I was fascinated!
Quartermaster comes from a love of psychological warfare in the records of 1700s piracy. In the movies, pirates are portrayed as brainless sword-slashers when historically, they hardly ever boarded another vessel.
They depended on their reputations to scare their opponents—easy when the general population was superstitious. I fell in love with the tales of Sam Bellamy taking the Whydah by making a pretend ghost ship, Blackbeard braiding firecrackers into his beard to appear possessed, and the rest of the shenanigans of the 4 years called the Golden Age of Pirates. While I wrote about this period in the Walk the Walk series, Quartermaster takes place in 1725. By then, most of the pirates had taken pardons and retired from the sweet trade to a landlubbing life of agriculture or crime. I wondered what would happen if a boat refused to retire. They would be hated by the Spanish, English, and colonial Americans…
I was already half in love with Chub from his role in my other book series, so writing his happily ever after (HEA) became a passion piece. I knew I wanted him to represent tough men who weren’t tall, dark, and classically handsome gentlemen. Chub is a 5 foot 3 inches tall, freckled, red-headed pirate with more brains than manners. What he brings to the table is a patient disposition, a talent for teaching, and a huge heart. He teaches the young crew how to sail, the Captain to read, and his lady love to trust again. I wanted his HEA so badly, the story wrote itself.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Chub is the brains of the boat and the one who kept Branko alive for most of the Walk the Walk series. When Patricia’s Wish sailed away, I had intended for Chub to be Captain…but in my head, he didn’t want it. Next in line was Teeth, the handsome ratline climber with the same number of fingers as brain cells…and he’s missing four of those. They were doomed before leaving Branko behind, and I loved writing every line of it. Chub is the ventriloquist behind the outrageous Captain Teeth…who needs his happily ever after next.
But what kind of lady would turn the head of Chub? He’s utilized the brothels in my other books, so a working girl or society lady wouldn’t fit. A Pirate Queen would also clash with Chub’s dominant personality. Having a kidnapped or stow away Governor’s daughter is a cliché in pirate romance, so I decided to ruin it. What if her father was a scoundrel who hated our hearties? What if she wasn’t fair and delicate, but a monster who hides a special ability? Being more than you appear would appeal to Chub who hides from the spotlight like a firing squad.

Three strangers moving in very different directions find themselves pulled to a small town in the middle of Ohio. A force is reeling them in. Like a needle drawn North on a compass, powerless to stray from this impending convergence, they must take their stand in the battle between good and evil.
But what happens when the worst evil wears the face of good?
Life is in the Blood is the macabre tale
of what it is to long for freedom, love, and to be human.
Targeted Age Group:: Adults
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I was inspired by a weird piece of history. A blood cult in the Midwest in the 1800s used a scripture from Leviticus to justify drinking animal blood. This made me ask what if a vampire used his blood to create a throng of followers through the power in their blood.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
My characters are inspired by a mixture of imagination and real life personalities, either personal or historical. Brannigan Rafferty literally came to me in a dream. Sheriff Flynn was inspired by Bass Reeves and the cowboys of the wild west. Silas Hemfant was inspired by a real preacher, or better, cult leader that existed in the 1800s. Miriam was inspired by a friend who displayed great faith and unbelievable grace in the face of overwhelming circumstances.

Niergel Chronicles – Last Hope by D. I. Hennessey
An ancient mystery…
A skeptical genius…
Powerful evil ancestors…
A dangerous underworld Crime Syndicate…
A horde of disembodied offspring of fallen angels who threaten the entire world!
Niergel Chronicles – Last Hope describes a journey of discovery, danger, and extraordinary mysteries. It follows the fantastic adventure of a young man with a surprising heritage as he uncovers the astonishing truth about his family history and the earth’s past. He finds himself facing dangerous perils and shocking supernatural threats. All while contending with unsettling truths that upend his understanding of science and the world, forcing him to face the reality of a Creator whose existence he has adamantly denied.
While following the evidence all around him, Jeff’s most profound discovery is the one he least expects — the proof of God’s creative hand.
Targeted Age Group:: 16-99
Heat/Violence Level: Heat Level 1 – G Rated Clean Read
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
As a fan of Marvel movies, I've always loved superhero stories. The Niergel Chronicles is a superhero adventure with a God-affirming worldview. The story of Jeff’s journey is an analogy for the real search that every man and woman confronts sooner or later. Jeff’s greatest discoveries are revelations about himself, and most especially, about his one greatest need — for a personal relationship with his creator.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The story of a fictional family with extraordinary powers envisions what the world would be like for people if they had not been affected by the events that shortened the lifespan of Noah's descendants. It draws from the Genesis account of fallen angels and their offspring, along with contemporary hero adventures and a dose of Sci-Fi … ie., Ironman meets Lord of the Rings!

When later, during a chance meeting, her younger sister, Kelly, is introduced to Joel’s younger brother, Jesse, Lori and Joel are thrown together again. What begins with a one-night stand, quickly snowballs into an all-encompassing, whirlwind romance.
Thirty-two years and five kids later, Joel suddenly announces that he is leaving Lori for a woman younger than their first daughter. Stunned, heartbroken, angry and confused, Lori is left to navigate a new way of life, while at the same time dealing with one daughter’s upcoming wedding, another daughter’s pending divorce, and her youngest son’s desire to pursue a professional baseball career. Her best friend is constantly offering self-help books, and her younger sister wants to move in while she too tries to figure out her own marital situation and if she should reunite with Jesse, who just happens to be living in the guest house above Lori and Joel’s garage.

About the Book
A strange fate begins on the count of ONE…
Stuck in a society where the chances of a good life are negligible, Nia’s brilliance makes her a constant outcast. She provokes the interest of none other than Victor Kaov, a shady billionaire and the new president of their small Eastern European country.
Devoid of any empathy, his psyche is driven mad by Nia’s beautiful mind, and before she knows it, she’s involved in the dirtiness of business, the elite’s fakeness and political mafia games.
Nia is about to meet Desire and Lust and learn what destructive passion and toxic clinging mean in life and relationships. In her bizarre mind, though, Love is The Beast.
Her fears. Her madness. Him.
Victor Kaov’s wretched past follows him, and he gets caught in a devastating battle between himself and his obsessive desire. His demons torture him, but will they drag the best or the worst out of him?
His obsession. His madness. Her.
Who is Kaov, after all? Nia is about to find out all about his darkness and her own. Until they face the most challenging fight — to save themselves.
Their salvation. Their chance for something more. Them.
Deep in Eastern Europe, travel to your inner self, down the secrets of the human soul, through the darkness of consciousness and emotions. In Nia’s gifted mind, emotions take on the form of entities, while for manic Victor, emotions are demons liable to destroy. Victor and Nia’s story makes you wonder if some of our common relationship patterns and norms are actually absurd. This peculiar story between two brilliant people who don’t understand feelings conventionally will provoke you to question the meaning of your own life, beliefs and fears.
Imagine why it’s hard to love an angel. Provoke all your beliefs.

Salon owner Marla Vail and her detective husband Dalton are having a blast visiting a Florida living history village over Fourth of July weekend. But when a Seminole battle reenactment turns up a real dead body, it sets off fireworks among the villagers. One of the cast members has gone off script to murder the town marshal with a tomahawk in his head.
As Dalton gets involved in the investigation, Marla determines to help him solve the case. Her flare for uncovering secrets reveals that everyone in the village is a suspect. Instead of celebrating the holiday with red, white, and barbecues, she discovers secrets, lies, and false avenues. Did the marshal’s murder have anything to do with a lost Confederate payroll, or did his plans to renovate the park light a fuse that he couldn’t snuff out?
In a place where history comes alive, the dead bodies are piling up. Marla would rather be chilling and grilling, but somebody’s mind is on killing. If she’s not careful, her sleuthing might blow up in her face like a faulty firecracker and she’ll become the next victim. Recipes Included!
Targeted Age Group:: Adult
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I was inspired by a visit to Yesteryear Village in West Palm Beach. I felt the confined setting would be perfect for a cozy mystery with the cast members as built-in suspects. I had great fun plotting the crime and the suspects' motives. I learned a lot of eclectic information along the way, which makes each story special for me.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The characters were easily the staff at my fictional living history park. The schoolteacher, the blacksmith, the preacher, the historic house guide, the seamstress, and the farmer all had a reason to want the victim dead. I had to research their roles which was quite interesting with the historical detail.

About Featured Book: Endurance: 480 Codorus Street Book 3 by Sandra L. Kearse-Stockton
When I wrote 480 Codorus Street, it was a courageous act of self-preservation.
Through the toughest of times, I was blessed with a powerful support system from those closest to me. My mother’s unwavering faith and unconditional love helped buoy my spirits when hope seemed lost – from her wisdom came understanding.
In contrast to that, my husband Aaron’s compassionate presence allowed him into places even his own heart could not venture on its own. He was my rock through every chapter of this journey.
We’ve faced many trials together, but everything we endured only brought us closer as he stood steadfastly by my side through all our memories, struggles, and losses alike.
After plenty of soul-searching, I chose to take up the gauntlet of life’s toughest challenges. When fear seized my heart and hardship clouded my judgment — it was resilience that gave me strength beyond measure.
It enabled me to persist against all odds in pursuit of a future where success was more than just mere achievement. The future I wanted was the one where I put myself first, where I fought for my mother’s beliefs in me, and where I fought for my children — that was what success looked like to me.
When I made the decision to write this I knew that doing so would dredge up painful memories, yet it would also serve as an encouraging reminder for future generations that regardless of what obstacles come your way, you can overcome them with resilience and determination.
This fight begins with myself; one written at 480 Codorus Street as a testament for generations to come.
Get lost in this powerful 3-part story that explores the different struggles and triumphs of life. A candid look at what life is really like. But by the end of it, know that through prayers, faith, friends, family, and resilience, know that everything is possible.

About Featured Book: Christmas with my Best Friend’s Brothers by Kai Lesy
I should have declined my bestie’s invite to the Bishop’s annual Christmas skiing trip.
In the breathtaking French Alps….
With the even more breathtaking Bishop triplets.
After catching my ex-fiancé cheating,
It was either going on the exotic trip…
Or spending Christmas alone.
Why was this a bad idea?
My roommates include three bullies who gave me the worst moments of my childhood.
To make matters worse, they’ve grown into three irritating, hot-as-sin MEN.
Oh, and did I mention… they’re my bestie’s triplet brothers?
The ball begins to drop when I catch one of them naked and dripping wet in the shower.
Suddenly I lose all self restraint and ALL hell breaks loose.
When the triplets touch my skin I’m on fire.
Every sensual thing they whisper in my ear is intoxicating.
I want them all more than I fear the consequences.
Consequences like this one….
“Can you repeat that doctor?”
“There’s zero chance of knowing who the father is. Identical triplets share almost identical sets of DNA.”
Oh h*ll. How did the get myself into this mess?

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Many fantasy epics deal with the buildup or course of an epic conflict. However, what doesn't get covered often is the aftermath – the changes on every level of society that result from that war. To me, that aftermath seemed at least as interesting as the epic conflict itself.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I wished to show a cross section of imperial society after the Great War.
Tia is from the upper middle class, looking to marry into the aristocracy. She is intelligent, educated, and knows the value of making a good first impression. She associates with court officials and other women of comparable status.
Rebecca, Tia's maid and personal minstrel, hails from the bottom strata of the Empire. She sees Tia as her ticket to a secure future.
Sir Peter Cortez is bastard born knight, one of many near penniless heroes of the Traag War, a man who seeks to find a place in a changed society.
Kyle is a former serf who was drafted into the legions, then trained in magic. That combination put him in the wars most horrific battles and left him a traumatized drunken wreck.

My mother died in cancer! The experience was painful, but what made it more hurting was the fact that despite my success in helping many people with cancer and so called incurable disease, I was helpless when it came to my own mother. My family didn't believe in my approach to health and as a result she underwent aggressive medical procedure which ultimately led to her passing. This painful experience ignited the fire in my heart to share my message with the world and was the reason why infinite love was born.

An ancient boat dock lantern, pulled from a puddle of seawater high up Sunset Cliffs, takes modern-day teenage surfer Jason Hanson on an edge-of-your-seat adventure through the past, to the year 1858, where the youth witnesses the fate of his mother whom he never met. Along the way, the boy encounters merciless pirates, alluring and deadly sirens, and a mysterious mermaid who tells Jason she knew his mother.
Targeted Age Group:: Young Adult
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
"The Rusted Lantern" was inspired from a short newspaper article that appeared in the "San Diego Tribune" in 2009. During the 1850's, a real-life pirate named Jose' Arvaez roamed the waters off the coast of Southern California, attacking treasure vessels making their way from the gold fields near San Francisco. He never left survivors. One of those ships was the HMS Chelsea. The cabin boy, Tom Bolter, was the only person ever spared by Captain Arvaez. This act of mercy eventually led to the demise of the pirate lord and his followers. The main character from this story, Jason Hanson, is loosely based upon Tom Bolter.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Jason Hanson is based on Tom Bolter, the real life cabin boy from the HMS Chelsea.
Captain Jose' Arvaez was a real pirate from the mid-1800's, renowned for his vicious brutality.
The mermaid was derived from the Robert D. San Souci children's book, "Sukey and the Mermaid."

About shima shad rouh:
I am Shima Shad Rouh, a curious seeker of truth and a firm believer in the power of love. From a very young age, I've always yearned for a single book that could answer all my questions about life, the universe, and everything in between. I wanted to find a source that could feed my mind, body, and spirit and help me lead a happy and fulfilling life.
Growing up in war-torn Iran, amidst terror, horror, tension, scarcity, bombs, and ruins, I was constantly searching for the light. While receiving restricted religious teachings at school, I became increasingly rebellious and eventually found myself drawn to nihilism. At the age of 14, I even settled on the concept of "God is dead" from Nietzsche.
It wasn't until a mysterious trip to Konia, in the south of Turkey, that my belief system was triggered. There, I became acquainted with the teachings of Rumi, and a series of miraculous events I experienced on that trip opened the gate to the unseen in front of me. I felt the presence of something superior, a loving being that was there with me, welcoming me to the ceremony and encouraging me to deepen my research about Rumi's teachings. Later on, combining the teachings of Rumi and Shams with modern quantum physics discoveries, I planted the seeds of a new philosophy of life in my mind.
In my early 20s, practicing yoga and meditation familiarized me with the teachings of Buddha, and I began to adopt parts of their philosophy as well. But it wasn't until the loss of my mum, my best friend, soul mate, and biggest idol, that I realized I didn't have a solid foundation to recover from such an intense traumatic event. None of the material I had learned over the years could serve me at this moment.
I found myself on the brink of despair, with suicidal thoughts crossing my mind as I screamed in pain and wrote my goodbye letter. But then, two loving warm arms held me tight, and a beautiful, soothing voice whispered in my ear, "Everything is going to be alright my love, you are not alone. Everything is going to be alright."
That inexpressible moment of euphoria impacted me deeply and prompted me to go within myself, meditate, connect with my mum, and improve my connection with the unseen. I sensed an enormous amount of love surrounding me, as if I was swimming in an ocean of unconditional love. All I needed was to open my heart and receive this immensely beautiful and euphoric experience.
This encounter helped me to redesign my previous ideology about life, connecting all the dots from ancient spiritual teachings to modern philosophies of life and recent scientific discoveries. I came to understand that everything is about energy and vibration and that I am always at the center of my life. I am the co-creator of my own destiny, able to change my situation at any given moment by just changing my vibrational state.
Through my research, I became aware of the relationship between the high rate of suicide in countries that don't have belief or faith in a higher power or in life after death. I realized that we all need to know why we are here and what our purpose in life is. Especially when life becomes challenging, we start to question our very essence of being. If we don't have anything to replace our outdated religious beliefs, we will end up feeling lost, depressed, and unfulfilled.
And so, I have written this book to share my personal life experiences and what I have learned from them, offering pieces of evidence in ancient spiritual teachings and modern scientific discoveries. Today is the time to unite science and spirituality together. For many years, their paths have been separated, and therefore we feel lost. If e want to understand the truth behind life, we need to connect these two together, as they both are one. Both of them are the two poles of the same battery. To run the engines of our lives, we need to use them both!
Through my research and personal experiences, I have come to the understanding that we are living below 1% of our true potential. We are programmed for survival and constantly contemplating covering our bills or getting rid of disease. However, I have discovered practical ways to accelerate healing in our bodies, and I believe that once we recognize our true potential, we can fly! We become limitless, shapeless, timeless, birthless, and deathless.
My mission is to share this knowledge with as many people as possible and to help them unlock their true potential. In my book, I share my personal stories, research, and insights. I offer practical tools and exercises to help readers discover their true potential and live their best lives. I believe that by connecting with the unseen, we can find the answers we've been seeking and create a life of joy, purpose, and fulfillment.
My book offers evidence that we are all interconnected and that the universe operates on an infinite field of energy that we can tap into at any given moment. I discuss practical tools such as meditation, yoga, and breathing exercises, as well as scientific discoveries such as quantum physics and the mind-body connection.
I believe that by connecting with the unseen, we can unlock our true potential and create a life of abundance, health, and happiness. We can heal our bodies, our relationships, and our planet. We can create heaven on earth, but we must first recognize our own power to do so.
Join me on this journey towards discovering the power of love and the unseen and unlocking your true potential. Let's unite science and spirituality and create a world that is abundant, healthy, and happy for all.
What inspires you to write?
What inspires me to write is witnessing the transformative effect of my teachings on my clients.
Over the years, I have shared my personal stories, research, and insights with those who have suffered from deep traumatic incidents, and I have seen them experience a great shift and transformation in their lives.
It is this experience that has prompted me to share my knowledge with as many people as possible. I believe that we all have the power to unlock our true potential and create a life of abundance, health, and happiness. By connecting with the unseen and tapping into the infinite field of energy that surrounds us, we can create heaven on earth.

I want to share this knowledge with as many people as possible, so that they too can experience the transformative power of love and the unseen. I believe that by uniting science and spirituality, we can create a world that is abundant, healthy, and happy for all.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay, Joe Dispenza, Gregg Braden, Deepack Chopra, Bruce Lipton, Rumi
Tell us about your writing process.
My writing process for this book took over three and a half years. During the first 60 days of the pandemic, I wrote 400 pages and was thrilled at the thought of finishing the book soon. However, it ended up taking much longer than anticipated, with constant writing, editing, and modifying required to complete the final product.
Despite the time it took to complete, I am incredibly proud of the final result. This book represents years of research, personal experiences, and insights, and I believe it offers practical tools and exercises to help readers unlock their true potential and create a life of joy, purpose, and fulfillment.
While the writing process was long and at times challenging, I am grateful for the opportunity to share my knowledge with others. I believe that by sharing our stories and experiences, we can inspire and help others on their own journeys towards discovering the power of love and the unseen.
I hope that my book will serve as a source of inspiration and guidance for those seeking to unlock their true potential and live their best lives. And while the writing process may have been lengthy, I believe that the final product was well worth the time and effort invested.
What advice would you give other writers?
Write consistently: Dedicate time every day to write, even if it's just for a short period. This will help you build momentum and make progress towards your writing goals.
Set achievable goals: Break down your writing project into smaller, manageable goals. This will help you stay motivated and make progress towards completing your book.
Edit ruthlessly: Don't be afraid to revise and cut out sections that don't work. Be willing to listen to feedback and make changes that will improve the quality of your writing.
Read widely: Read books in your genre and outside of it to gain insights into different styles, structures, and techniques. This can help you develop your own unique voice and perspective.
Develop a support system: Find other writers or join a writing group to share your work and receive feedback. This can be invaluable in helping you improve your writing and stay motivated.
Believe in yourself: Writing can be a challenging and lonely process, but don't give up. Believe in your vision and keep pushing forward. Remember that every great author was once a first-time writer.
Overall, my advice to other authors is to stay committed to the writing process and keep improving your craft. With persistence, dedication, and a willingness to learn, you can achieve your writing goals and create work that resonates with readers.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
After studying various offers from different well-known publishers, I made the decision to self-publish my book. While the offers from publishers were tempting, I realized that the terms of agreement were all on their own benefit, and the demands for work from the author side were too much.
I wanted to retain creative control over my book and ensure that the final product reflected my vision. Self-publishing allowed me to do just that, while also providing me with greater flexibility and autonomy in the publishing process.
Furthermore, self-publishing allowed me to keep a greater percentage of the profits from the sale of my book. While traditional publishers often take a significant portion of the profits, self-publishing allowed me to retain more of the financial benefits of my work.
Overall, self-publishing was the best decision for me and my book. It allowed me to maintain creative control and autonomy while also retaining a greater percentage of the profits. While the publishing process can be challenging, I am grateful for the opportunity to share my knowledge and insights with readers and help them unlock their true potential.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
The future of book publishing is likely to be shaped by new technologies and changing consumer habits. However, the desire for great storytelling and the power of the written word will continue to endure. It is my hope that book publishing will become even more accessible and inclusive in the future, allowing more people to share their unique perspectives and stories with the world.

About DJ LeJeune:

He enjoys gaming, tech, and Donatello, because he's the MVP of the Ninja Turtles. Check out some of DJ's books today.
What inspires you to write?
The desire to experience future technologies or situations or far-off places we can't currently enjoy. I think that's one of the main reasons I love science fiction. It allows us a taste of what it might be like to walk across Mars, or live on a space station spinning at the edge of the solar system, or to step onto a virtual reality device and be "transported" to a real-as-life fantasy world.
Exploring the technology and day to day lives of the fictional people who inhabit my stories is a way to live those wonders today. I enjoy giving those experiences to my readers.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Adrian Tchaikovsky is a growing favorite of mine. But I also enjoy Blake Crouch, Andy Weir, and the legendary Issac Asimov.
Tell us about your writing process.
I'm a hybrid author. I outline the overall story based on a six-act structure. But the last third of the story tends to be fuzzy even if I know how I want it to end. I'll then brainstorm likely chapters for each act and even write brief summaries of the first chapters.
Then I write the first draft of each chapter, and this is where a lot of the discovery writing comes in. Also, as I near the middle of the first draft, the ending becomes more clear in my mind..
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I do a good deal of character background work before writing. Figuring out their backstory, flaws, fears, longings, that sort of thing. This also develops more as I write the story.
But other than this, I write scenes with the characters "outside of the story." A scene about what they do when they first come home from work or school. A scene at a dinner table with all the main characters in the story together.
What this does is help me flesh out the characters beyond what they "need to be" for the story.
What advice would you give other writers?
Allow the writing journey to take the necessary time. Most authors aren't going to write a first novel that shoots to the top of the charts and lets them quit their 9 to 5. It has happened, but that is exceedingly rare.
For most of us, it's about a longer process of getting a novel out there, making some ripples, putting the next novel out, and so forth.
Over time, you'll gain readers and fans and momentum. That's normal, and nothing to be ashamed of. But expecting that as the journey up front and being okay with it does wonders for motivation and drive.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I'm a self-published author. My decision was based on research and seeing that self-publishing has grown exponentially over the years. It is no longer frowned upon. It's not about paying a company to print 2000 copies of your book for you to have to sell from your garage. There's print on demand and ebooks, now. People are self-publishing novels that are just as professional looking and well-edited as traditional publishers.
On top of that, I've heard the horror stories of people who got a traditional publishing deal, only to have to market the book themselves, anyway. Unless the publisher knows your book is already selling (which how can they if you're a new author), they likely won't spend much money to get word of your novel out there.
I figured if I'd have to promote my novel anyway, I might as well go the indie route and keep more of the profits.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I see a tumultuous time in the near term with AI services like Chat-GPT. Already, some markets are suspending submissions because of the glut of AI-generated content.
But in the long run, I feel human authors who put original stories out there will continue to have a career. Especially if they work to improve their craft with every project.
I mean, just think about all the award-winning TV these days that is based on fiction novels. Good stories are always sought-after. There's lots of opportunity out there still.

About Derek Power:
I began writing in early 2001, mainly focusing on short stories. After winning the odd contest here and there I figured I would try and write something a little longer. A few false starts later I managed to complete my first novel, titled Filthy Henry: The Fairy Detective, in early 2013.
I currently live in Skerries, Dublin, Ireland.
What inspires you to write?
Write a book that you want to read yourself, isn't that the saying? Well that's why I write. I have stories swimming around my head constantly. Growing up I used to keep a small notebook with me and I would jot down ideas, one-liners, anything that came along. I still have the notebook. Never used anything in it, but the voices in my head want out and writing gets them out.
Until the next idea crops up that wants to be written, ha ha.
I also think that comedy-fantasy is not a genre that is overdone in fiction these days. Plus coming from Ireland I like to take some of the old Celtic myths and Legends and put them into the wider world eye to be enjoyed.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Terry Pratchett, Philip K. Dick, David Eddings and Alice Feeny. Anything these people have written (or in Alice's case will write) I read.
Tell us about your writing process.
I'm an plotter til the day I die. I will have the general idea for the story appear in my head and then spend a few days jotting down ideas onto my pad. Maps will be drawn, dotted lines placed, and finally I open a word file and start spitting out the info into chapter 'blocks'. Once I am happy with this I start to write the first draft.
Most of the time the plot will evolve a little from the outline document. I treat the document as a sort of 'roadmap' that I want to get to. Each chapter has a 'point' I need to hit, so the changes don't really bother me if they make those 'points' all the better. Then it is rewrites, edits, rewrites, edits.
When writing the first draft I will do a minimum of 500 words a day. Some days that happens after two hours of dragging the words out. Others I can knock out three thousand words without realising the time has gone. The main point is I write a minimum of 500 words a day. I learned long ago that the words may not survive until the final draft, but that doesn't matter. Getting the first draft written is what matters – rewrites polish things.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I do talk to Filthy Henry, the main character in my series, a bit. A lot of him comes from me. We are both sarcastic folk and can push buttons when needed to get the job done, even if people don't like it. We get the job done. What's worse is Filthy Henry 'looks' like me, so most of the time I get a mirror and just have a full blown conversation with a figment of my imagination.
What advice would you give other writers?
Little acorns grow into might oaks. People always think that writing a 70k novel is some huge task, but you just have to break it down into easy tasks. Write 500 a day, then the next, then the next. Do that for a few weeks and you will have your first draft done. You just need to write every single day. No excuses. Yes, that means Christmas and your Birthday!.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
Originally I shopped it around to all the publishers I could think of and a number of agents I found online. It was right around when the Kindle came out and that basically did to books what the iPod did to music – the publishing industry wasn't ready for it. After getting many 'no, we aren't taking a risk on you' responses one publisher came back and said that I should look at self publishing to build up a following which would then get me noticed. So I because an indie-author and to be honest I've never looked back.
I have so much control over the entire product from start to finish. I have met some fantastic people going to conventions and online. I was involved in a few indie published anthologies. It's been an adventure and a half.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I can see more indie authors coming out and giving it a go. E-Readers have made it just easier for people to publish their works without the overhead of storing print copies anywhere. Then again Print on Demand services help in that area as well. Publishers/Agents don't see to take a chance on complete unknowns anymore. You seem to need to prove you can go it alone before they take a chance – or you can just go it alone and do the hard work and then laugh when they come knockin.
What genres do you write?: comedy-fantasy, detective, crime, sci-fi noir

An idea will come in the most interesting places. From there an idea is written where I will develop characters, a plot and than I will begin the writing process.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I do listen and talk to my characters. Often they speak to me in a way that inspires me to continue to voice who they are.
What advice would you give other writers?
I would tell whoever wants to write that no matter what, keep writing. Reread, readjust, and re-edit if you have to, but keep writing. Write every day. Carve out a time and become disciplined on that time to set aside for yourself. Your writing is a part of you!!!
How did you decide how to publish your books?
How long has it been since I published my first book? Fifteen-sixteen years ago? The industry was a bit different. I began as a self-published author. Eventually, I did sign a contract in 2011 and 2012, but I had a very bad experience with the publishing house. My advice is to do research. I have since done research with who I publish.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
Book publishing and ebooks have seen its waves of highs and lows. I am sure that it will continue throughout the economy. At the moment I am sure that ebooks will continue to sell and blossom.

About Atucim Sanumar:
Hello. I grew up with video games and anime when I was a kid. From early childhood I was dreaming up all kinds of stories in my head, but never thought about writing. With too much time on my hands at the beginning of 2020, I decided to sit down and write a short story just for fun. Chapter after chapter and the short story developed into a bigger one, then evolved into a full novel.
As of this writing, I have five books published.
What inspires you to write?
I would say my inspiration comes from the video games I played and fantasy movies/anime I watched. Lot's of them had really cool, impactful character stories and developments.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
I don't have any. I don't read other books when I write.
Tell us about your writing process.
I usually know the main things that would happen in the story but I don't plan, or outline, how I will write, or what I will put in my story.
I ask one question when I sit down to write – What would I like to happen next? And then go from there.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I try to imagine the conversation scene and what the characters are talking about. What are their responses, etc. I wouldn't say I 'talk' to my story characters. I become an observer of the situation.
What advice would you give other writers?
Keep writing. That's one.
Second is to learn marketing. If you want people to read your books you need to learn how to market your books.
The second one I am still learning myself.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
Self-publish from the start. I was too ignorant and didn't know how to approach a publisher, nor I expected a publisher to publish my books anyway.
For new authors, that depends. I see people going to publishers and people who publish themselves. Either way, you will need to put in work.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I don't know. People like reading books. It's a form of entertainment as well as learning new things. I think in the future more and more people will flood the market. That's why being original, unique and sticking to your craft will be important to win the long game.
What genres do you write?: Fantasy, Romance, Adventure
What formats are your books in?: eBook, Print, Both eBook and Print, Audiobook

About Alexis karpouzos:
Alexis karpouzos was born in Athens on April 9, 1967, after attending philosophy and social studies courses at the Athens School of Philosophy and political science courses at the Athens Law School, he continued his studies in psychoanalysis and the psychology of learning. During his studies in Greece he has actively involved in the social, ecologic and occupancy movements. The originality of Alexis Karpouzos thought is that it crosses the most diverse fields, the most opposing philosophies, to unite them into an often contradictory and broken whole. Marx and Heidegger, Nietzsche, Freud and Heraclitus, poets and political theorists all come together in the same distance and the same unusual proximity. Alexis karpouzos use Pre-Socratics philosophy and generally the ancient Greek philosophy, as well as the pre-philosophical thinking of The Upanishads, the Vedas and Buddhism in India, of Lao Tzu, of Zen Buddhism and the Taoist tradition in China, of the Arab mystics and poets, with their metaphysical religiosity as the metaphysical basis for the interpretation and understanding of the world and existence. At the same time the ancient metaphysics is connect with Hegel’s dialectical ontology and with the modern thinking of Marx, Nietzsche, Freud, Heidegger, and others as the interpretive context for understanding the central problems of the technical and scientific world during his time. Novalis, Hölderlin, Rimbaud, Whitman, Eliot and others show the dreamy nature of existence, the transcendence of the Cosmos, welcome the infinity. For Alexis karpouzos the combination of ancient and modern thought creates the holistic experience of universal space-time and the consciousness of the unity. The poetic thought of Alexis karpouzos is a expressions of soul's inner experiences, expression of universality. The inspiring visual images and the symbolic use of language offer a description of elevating experiences of consciousness, a glimpse of higher worlds. The philosophy of Alexis karpouzos speak to the human experience from a universal perspective, transcending all religions, cultural and national boundaries. Using vivid images and a direct language that speaks to the heart, his philosophy evokes a sense of deep communication with the collective unconscious, a sense of connection to all the creatures of the world, compassion for others, admiration for the beauty of nature, reverence for all life, and an abiding faith in the invisible touch of world. Alexis karpouzos thoughts are often terse and paradoxical, challenging us to to break out of the box of limiting beliefs and see things from a new perspective. Above all, Alexis karpouzos continually calls to us to wake up and explore the mysteries within our own selves, i.e the mysteries of universe.
What inspires you to write?
Nature is a big pull for me. Whenever I am out on a country walk or watching the sunset over the sea, I get an urge to write, to try and capture the beauty of what I see. When there is a massive storm, or it’s blowing a gale, the feeling is the same. Nature is powerful and energizing and finding new ways to describe it in my writing and use it as a metaphor for what’s going on in the story or how a particular character is feeling is a device I use often. lso, People are wonderful, hilarious, frightening, cruel, intelligent, witty, evil, compassionate, sarcastic and so much more. People from all walks of life with all sorts of likes and dislikes, views and ways of thinking, passions and hatreds – they are all wonderfully inspiring and using people to create incredible characters is one of the most exciting and enjoyable parts of writing.
Also, what has gone before us whether it was two weeks ago, or two thousand years ago is a huge soup of exciting stories and events just waiting to be sampled. History is insanely broad of course, but it is the catalyst for many incredible stories and gives a voice to those who may otherwise have long been forgotten.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
My favorite authors are, Walt Whitman , Ralph Emerson, Henry Thoreau, Arthur Rimbaud, Charles Baudelaire, James Joyce, Emily Dickinson, Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
Tell us about your writing process.
I will always jot down things, little ideas. I may never go back to them. I may never see them again. But once they’re jotted down, they’re become sections of my imagination. Brainstorming can be a response to a half-formed thought i have hwhile riding the subway, or to a writing assignment like a prompt that kick-starts my writing one day. Either way, the writing process often looks very much like an iceberg: thinking about characters and plot, daydreaming about the world where my story is set takes up more time than most people realize. Some stories take years to coalesce.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
The characters often visit my imagination choosing their own actions in my narrative and even commenting – not always favourably – on my life.so, i make a habit of writing down the things that have captured my attention in the past week or month. These may become the source motivators of my writing, maybe of my career. Any writing project will require a sustained interest.
What advice would you give other writers?
Don't give up, and don't lose your stubborn belief that you have a story worth telling. I've had so many people tell me over so many years that I didn't have the qualities needed to be a writer. All of my writer friends and I have one thing in common: We didn't listen to the naysayers. We kept writing. And eventually we have all been published.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
From school and mainly from university i had decided to publish the philosophical and poetic essays. First published in youth magazines and small publishing houses and later in popular publishers.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I think the future is the electronic book, the book that included images, video, music, the multimodal book.
What genres do you write?: Science, philosophy, spirituality

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
What inspires me to write is witnessing the transformative effect of my teachings on my clients.
Over the years, I have shared my personal stories, research, and insights with those who have suffered from deep traumatic incidents, and I have seen them experience a great shift and transformation in their lives.
It is this experience that has prompted me to share my knowledge with as many people as possible. I believe that we all have the power to unlock our true potential and create a life of abundance, health, and happiness. By connecting with the unseen and tapping into the infinite field of energy that surrounds us, we can create heaven on earth.
My book offers evidence that we are all interconnected and that the universe operates on this infinite field of energy. I discuss practical tools such as meditation, yoga, and breathing exercises, as well as scientific discoveries such as quantum physics and the mind-body connection.
I want to share this knowledge with as many people as possible, so that they too can experience the transformative power of love and the unseen. I believe that by uniting science and spirituality, we can create a world that is abundant, healthy, and happy for all.
So, what inspires me to write? It is the desire to share my knowledge and help others unlock their true potential. I want to offer practical tools and exercises to help readers discover their true potential and live their best lives. By sharing my personal stories, research, and insights, I hope to inspire others to connect with the unseen and create a life of joy, purpose, and fulfillment.

With a wife and new-born child to think of, Prison supervisor, Derek Henderson, must weigh duty against family, and live with the consequences of an impossible decision.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
It was only in the past couple of years that I seriously considered writing. Until the age of fifteen I could barely read and so the idea of being able to write something of my own would have been shut down very quickly. In my earlier days, before I learned to manage and work around my dyslexia, my inner critic would have been more like a bully, privy to my darkest secrets, fears, and weaknesses – he would never have let me even consider putting pen to paper.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The characters in Reliance were inspired by either people I've known personally or people I've observed through my work-life and travels. Over the years I have spent a lot of time in airports, travelling for work mostly, and people watching became a way of passing the time. Some of those nameless people have made it onto the pages of my books.

The Tired Child: How Sleep and Sleep Breathing Can Change Your Child’s Life
Kids across the United States are experiencing a sleep crisis. Sometimes, they can’t sleep because of anxiety or too much screen time. But other times, the problem runs deeper.
For some children, the lack of high-quality, restful sleep is due to sleep-disordered breathing. When children can’t breathe properly, they can’t sleep. And a lack of sleep negatively impacts children’s healthy development and puts them in crisis.
The Tired Child provides parents and healthcare providers with a comprehensive look at pediatric sleep-disordered breathing. It dives into why sleep is so important and shares how to get kids the proper treatment if they have a sleep condition, like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

About the book:
Did you know that your emotions shape the way you are?
The way you interact with the world, the way you are with strangers, the way you are with friends?
Have you ever had one of those out-of-body experiences where your body is physically there, but you—the conscious you—is floating above, watching things unfold?
That’s exactly what happened to Danielle… and without ruining the story and the messages inside, this experience led her on a path to healing the emotions she had buried deep inside.
Because here’s the thing… the more we hold onto our emotions, the harder it is to release them. This can lead to the forming of a metaphoric hardshell around ourselves.
In this book, The Grand Facade, Daniele walks you through her own personal journey of healing body breaks by releasing emotions.
Danielle has reshaped herself through this groundbreaking work, and wants to share her insight and wisdom to help you start this process for yourself too.
And while the personal work won’t stop being hard, you will get more skilled and be better equipped to feel and love yourself through your emotions.

Storm Clouds Rolling In (#1 in the Bregdan Chronicles Historical Fiction Series) by Ginny Dye
Amazon Best-Selling Author & Series
Review: Moses had come to watch his daddy die. I read the first sentence of the first book and knew I would read every word of what Ginny Dye writes. I’ve devoured this remarkable saga, and all 19 that follow! I will read every new one that comes.
Unforgettable characters that will capture your heart. Rich, accurate, historical detail. These are the hallmarks of Ginny Dye’s work. The bestselling Bregdan Chronicles novels have captured the hearts of fans all over the world. This enthralling saga encompassing the Civil War & Reconstruction has eighteen books right now, but many more are coming.
Warning – the Bregdan Chronicles will suck you in and never let you go!
Book Description:
Carrie had always lived a charmed life, but restlessness gnawed at her soul. She dreamed of a different future, but dramatic changes are taking place in the South. Her heart and mind would soon be tested by fire – sweeping away dreamed of freedom as chaos descends.
Carrie Cromwell comes of age as the storm clouds of the Civil War swallow America. Born with a fiery spirit and a strong mind, she finds herself struggling between the common wisdom of the South and the truth she has discovered. The activities of the Underground Railroad and her close friendships with the Cromwell Plantation slaves create difficult choices. But when her decisions put her at odds with her heritage and challenge her dreams, will she be able to give up all that is precious to her?
This first book of The Bregdan Chronicles historical fiction series will pull you in and never let you go. You’ll experience the Civil War era (and all the years to come) through the eyes of both White and Black, Free & Slave, Southern & Northern – and you’ll fall in love with every character.
Review: I never thought I would find a series to enthrall me like The Bregdan Chronicles has. I was wrong! I am struggling to find appropriate words to describe the awe I am in, and find myself failing miserably. I absolutely could not put these books down. I would finish one, and immediately hop online to go get the next one, sometimes in the wee hours of the morning, when my tail should have been asleep. The writing style of this author brings you right into the story as if you are a part of it. She has amazing talent to capture the imagination, and bring you right into a virtual reality. I have fallen in love with every one of these characters – especially the strong women! – and have become completely entranced with each life represented.
The historical account of this time period was so right on, so very vivid, you almost feel like you’ve walked right into it. These books became so alive, I actually had dreams at night of battle. (I’m not even kidding.) But it goes further. There were conversations in these books that had me reading over them several times. Life lessons. Sage advice. The kind of wisdom that comes from every day life. Moments that were so profound, they pierced my heart with an accuracy that I can’t even begin to explain.
Many times, the lives and hearts of each character were changed and rocked with revelation that came about in a moment, yet, so deeply touching the deepest recesses of the heart, that you can’t go beyond it, without it having changed you as well, as you read it.
Thank you, Ginny Dye, not only for an amazing journey, but for those light bulb moments throughout each book, that reached beyond the pages, and made their home inside the soul. What can I say overall? Well, let me put it like this: these books are like… “Gone with the Wind” meets up with “Eat, Pray, Love”; then whispers some “Secret life of Bees”, forges some “Steel Magnolia’s”, and at times, wraps itself with the “Color Purple.” Sigh. Did I mention how much I loved these books?

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
A lot of people ask me why I chose to write about the Civil War and Reconstruction.
The answer is because the pizza restaurant wasn’t open yet!
Okay, so that’s only part of the truth… It’s true that the pizza restaurant I wanted to eat at in my then hometown of Richmond, VA wasn’t going to be open for another hour, but there is more to the story.
It was a beautiful day so I decided to go for a walk.
As I strolled along the treed streets of Richmond, I saw a sign indicating there was a re-enactment happening that day for the Chimborazo Hospital.
I had no idea what that even was, but I decided since I had time to kill, and because I knew the site offered a fabulous view of the James River, I decided to go up the hill to discover what it was all about.
Little did I know how much it would change my life.
I had decided to write an historical fiction novel, but I had absolutely no idea what I was going to write about. How do you decide what fascinating historical thing you want to write about?
There are SO many stories that deserve to be told.
Anyway, up the hill I went.
When I arrived on the bluff overlooking the James River I saw several large tents that had been set up to represent the hospital wards where tens of thousands of Confederate soldiers were taken care of during the Civil War.
I could hear voices coming from inside one of them, so I went inside.
I was delighted to see a young woman dressed in 1860’s clothing, and a circle of 20-30 second graders sitting around her on the ground. They were listening with rapt attention.
I listened along with them, enjoying learning more about what had happened at the hospital, but also horrified by the hardships and suffering that had been endured there.
When the young lady finished speaking, she asked if anyone had questions. I waited to see if any of the children would respond. When they remained silent, I raised my hand.
“Yes?” the young woman asked.
I asked what I thought was an innocent question. “Are there any of the documents left from the original hospital?” I love original documents because they haven’t been doctored yet!
She looked exasperated, gave me a look that said she doubted my intelligence, and snapped, “Well, no, of course not. They were all burned when the Yankees came down here and set fire to Richmond!"
Well, I didn’t know a lot about the Civil War at that point, but I knew that wasn’t true.
I pondered whether to challenge her and then looked again at the group of 2nd graders clustered around her – listening… believing they were hearing the truth.
I raised my hand again. I could tell she didn’t want to acknowledge me, but she did. “Yes?”
I spoke calmly. “Isn’t it true that the Confederates set fire to Richmond?”
Her eyes flashed with anger as she snapped, “Well, they wouldn’t have done it if those Damn Yankees hadn’t been here!”
THAT was the moment I decided to write about the Civil War.
As I looked at all those impressionable children who were being poisoned with ignorant bias, I knew I had to write books that would tell the truth.
Little did I know how very little of the truth I actually knew at that point – or to this very moment. Every book I write causes my mouth to hang open in disbelief as I learn the truth of our history.
My passion to reveal it – within the lives of characters you fall in love with – only grows with every book I write.
When I started this series, I thought I would just write 5 books that would tell the story of the Civil War.
If I knew very little about the Civil War, I truly knew NOTHING about Reconstruction. When I finished Book # 5 (The Last Long Night), I thought I was done.
I had no idea if there was enough during Reconstruction years to actually write a book around, but I decided to at least take a look.
What I discovered in my research astonished me. I knew I had to keep writing – telling the stories that most Americans have absolutely zero knowledge about.
It has been a fascinating journey. Every book has challenged me. Every book has changed me. I can hardly wait to see where history takes me next!
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I'm not the kind of writer that carefully outlines the plot and creates the characters before I begin to write. Honestly, I wouldn't even know how to do it.
I started The Bregdan Chronicles with the idea of a free-spirited woman who challenged the norms of the time. Carrie Cromwell and all the characters that have followed within the 20 books have come to life on the page as I write the story.
It may sound simplistic to say HISTORY has created each character, but it is also the absolute truth.

Blood on Their Hands by Bob Brink
Little does racist attorney Hiram Garbuncle know the danger he’s getting into when he reluctantly defends a black man brutally beaten by two policemen during a traffic stop and charged with resisting arrest. Plot twists and turns take the reader on a suspense-filled roller coaster ride as the attorney’s negligence causes a mistrial. He then discovers incriminating evidence against the cops, and his new challenge becomes how to keep himself and his client alive pending a new trial. Garbuncle is an alcoholic, and his courtroom remarks and outlandish attire startle the judge, whom the attorney brings to his side in arguing a legal conundrum. His miserly ways cause a tug of war with his burly apartment tenant, who ends up helping with the probe of the cops. But when the woman Garbuncle falls in love with is caught up in the investigation, tragedy results.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
In 2008, the computer person at an office supplies store came to my home fix my computer, and told me about the police stopping him for a broken tail light, and roughing him up. He was a black immigrant from the Caribbean, and his car had an Obama bumper sticker. Years later, it occurred to me that I could use that incident as the basis for a story incorporating themes from two of my favorite movies, Gran Torino and My Cousin Vinny. In the novel, I had the man brutally beaten by police, which fit into the pattern of police brutality against blacks occurring across the country.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I knew this slovenly, racist attorney, and used him as the character reluctantly defending the black guy from a false charge of resisting arrest with violence. He rented rooms, and one tenant was a burly wrestler and sometime thespian. The attorney had fallen in love with a woman who left him heart-broken when she died, and she became a character in the book. A young man who intimidated me at a Ku Klux Klan rally that I covered as a newspaper reporter was the model for one of the brutal cops.

About the book:
It’s a magical book club! When this group chooses a book, magic happens. The mystery comes to life, and they find themselves part of the story. To exit the book and get back home, they need to solve the mystery and reach The End.
This time, the club chooses a book called The Great Cake Rivalry, because, well … cake! They read the back cover and it’s unanimous. So off they go into another grand adventure into a town aptly named Frosting.
Frosting is a rural town in an idyllic setting. The people live quiet lives most of the year. But in the spring, things change. The Annual Cake Competition becomes the focus of every man, woman, and child. They take this competition seriously. The cakes are spectacular. The festival is fabulous. For a week there are contests featuring all kinds of cakes. The people of the community become official tasters and vote for the winning cakes in each category.
The grand finale is a display of finely decorated cakes, made by the town’s bakeries. The winner of the best design receives a prize package that would make any baker dizzy.
Sadly, this event has been tainted. Once a year, each one different, but all somehow related to this event, a person is murdered. The main investigator is stumped, but that could be because he’s an inept buffoon.
Can the book club help the people of this community figure out who is causing this disturbing pattern of deaths, and stop another murder from happening? Can they figure out why some of the citizens dress so oddly, and why they always wear those unique backpacks? All while they fill themselves to the brim with cake, of course.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I was inspired to write Letters to the Unchained because of the things that I had experienced as a child growing up without a father or a male role model consistently in the household. I wanted to share my experiences and the things I went through from falling victim to and being involved with the streets, gangs, as well as being sent to prison. I wanted to bring and give the truth to the younger generation about these destructive behavior choices and decisions, which most may face on a daily in their own communities. As a person who has first hand knowledge about these unsettling circumstances, I felt it was my duty to write a book and try and reach those who find themselves in these same situations making and committing to these same choices and decisions that I myself did. And show the youth that there is an alternative and different path to choose in life in order to become successful.

About the book:
A man who lost everything.
A woman squatting on a property that’s not hers.
An aunt who suggests a marriage of convenience.
When Smith Long strides into his new hometown, he doesn’t expect to get bowled over by a woman chasing her cow whom she claims has fallen in love with a pig. Doesn’t every small town have that one crazy person?
He’s not laughing later, though, when his aunt informs him that in order for him to receive the old, rundown property she’d promised him, he has to marry the crazy woman he’d hoped to never see again.
Abrielle Adams is squatting on a ranch outside of Sweet Water, North Dakota and hoping that she’ll get back on her feet before the heir shows up. Wishful thinking since she finds out that the man who’d kept her from catching her cow is the very person she was trying to avoid.
But now Abrielle has been offered the one thing she could really use – half ownership of the ranch she’s been “borrowing” – and all she has to do is marry a (grumpy, sour, and okay, handsome) stranger.
To both Abrielle and Smith, marriage is more than convenience and a vow is a lifetime commitment. Will they see how much they have in common and decide they need each other?
★★★★★“As usual, I highlighted a lot of quotes and wrote them down to help me be a better person. The heroes have integrity, character and faith. Each book by Jessie Gussman helps me face my days and I try to react with the wisdom that her characters have in tough situations, it’s a real help. I laughed a lot as well: the story is a romance but it’s also really funny!” – Soleil

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
This book grew out of a 20-year journey of writing and personal experiences, exploring the question of why bad things may happen to good people. It is a story about the shocking contrast between human frailty and an infinitely powerful and sovereign God, who is motivated by a love that is as immense and immeasurable as His power.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The boy is an unlikely prophet, not unlike many examples in the Bible where God used children in remarkable ways. From Joseph’s early dreams to David’s courageous battle with Goliath and Jesus’ selection of a young man named John, likely not more than a teenager himself, to be one of his closest Disciples. It’s not much of a stretch to think that His most significant work still to come could be accomplished through some of the weakest among us.

About the Book
Maverick or hero, outlaw or savior? Max Stormer is one season away from college scholarships and fame, when a remarkable girl with a mysterious past strolls out of the mountains and punts all his plans. Aidos anoints him captain of something much bigger than a football team, and Max soon finds that being a champion is far more dangerous off the field than on it.

Targeted Age Group:: 25-55
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I have to admit, my journey to becoming a zero waste hero wasn't exactly intentional. In fact, it all started with a simple Google search for "ways to use leftover broccoli stems."
That's when I stumbled upon a zero waste blog and my curiosity was piqued. At first, I thought the idea of going zero waste was a bit extreme. I mean, who has time to make their own toothpaste, am I right? But the more I read, the more I realized that it wasn't just good for the environment, it was also good for my wallet and my family's health.
As a busy mom of three, I was tired of constantly buying paper towels and plastic baggies. So, I started small by making simple swaps like bringing my own bags to the grocery store and using cloth napkins instead of paper ones.
And you know what? It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. In fact, it was kind of fun. I felt like I was part of a secret club of eco-conscious superheroes, fighting against the forces of waste and pollution.
That's when I decided to write my book, Zero Waste Hero. I wanted to share my journey in a funny and relatable way, to show people that going zero waste doesn't have to be overwhelming or expensive. It's about making small changes that add up to a big impact.

About the book:
Treacherous. Evil. Dark. Dorcha Wood is all of these. And none of them.
The people of Felmore talk of Dorcha Wood in whispers, if they speak of it at all, fearing the wrath of the Cù-Sìth should their words be carried on the wind. Those murdering beasts still roam the darkness of the forest, the last remnants of the cursed Aos Sí—a race of elves long since vanished from the world.
But to seventeen-year-old Fiadh, it is home. A haven. A forest whose secrets become known only when it chooses to reveal them. Her life is one of balance until the outside world shatters it.
From the moment Fiadh set eyes on Gideon, the peaceful rhythm of her life was lost. As a new path unfolds, Fiadh confronts the reality of old hatreds, the consequences of things hidden, and the truth of who she really is.

Seeker by Jean M. Grant
Nock, draw, release. Her bow is always ready, and if her arrow hits its mark, she will secure her destined soulmate.
Aileana Montgomerie’s bloodline holds valuable gifts of foresight and healing, but with each honor comes a curse. Even though she is descended from the mystical isles’ folk, she lacks the ability of the Scottish Ancients and wonders if she belongs in a magical family. Aileana just wants a purpose. What good is her bow and arrow if she is denied the right to fight for her clan?
Brodie MacDougall is ordained to be the next war chieftain of his clan. The title is a privilege as long as his brother, the future laird, doesn’t expect him to lift a sword and charge into battle. Chronic pain and nervous vapors force him to spend his days alone. Can his strategic skills keep him one step ahead of his conspiring brother?
Through a magical Mortar & Pestle, Brodie finds his heart’s desire. But there’s a catch. The seat on his brother’s council is no longer dependent upon his health…but on Aileana’s strength. With rumblings of unrest among their clans, will their love foster an alliance or be a step toward war?
Targeted Age Group:: Adult
Heat/Violence Level: Heat Level 3 – PG-13
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
In early 2022, a group of seven authors got together through Zoom to talk shop, and one thing led to another…and a magical Mortar & Pestle was born! Each story has a bit of magic. The series takes the reader on an adventure with Vikings, Highlanders, pirates, treasure hunters, vampires, healers, and artists.
I already had a series set in medieval Scotland, so I dipped into that world and came up with an adventure that revolves around a yearly clan tournament. I chose two secondary characters from another one of my books in my historical trilogy. I wondered: Wouldn’t Aileana and Brodie's story be fun to write?
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Aileana is the spirited, independent, younger sister of the hero in A Hundred Lies. She is an adventurous archer and a very non-typical noblewoman of a magical family, for she lacks the mystical powers her family members possess. Brodie is a reserved, beta-hero who excels in strategy games. He has a health condition that prevents him from being war chieftain to his bullying older brother. Can these underdogs bring peace to their clans before it’s too late? Find out in Seeker.

Will Adam embrace true purpose? Or is it too late?
Targeted Age Group:: 20 and above
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
My book is my way of giving back – by sharing lessons learned in my much-blessed life journey. It’s my legacy for my children and grandchildren—while hopefully reaching many others who might benefit from what I’ve discovered on my life journey. As an author, I was and continue to be inspired by the words of the greatest book ever written, the Holy Bible. This is the foundation of my faith – and of all I have come to understand about life and the individual mission each of us is created to fulfill. In writing this book I have discovered much about myself and my purpose in writing. I attempt to touch the reader through invoking enjoyment and learning. ‘Adam in Taoland’, while a story of self-discovery, is also a story of seeking truth. I do my best to shine a clean light into the dingy corners of eroding values and a disintegrating human society – to expose truth, mostly in a playful and inspirational way.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The characters were based on real people I have encountered in my life with a little fantasy added into some of them. I wanted to show that people can be different yet the same no matter what form they come in

Grim Daze (The Grim Chronicles Book 2) by D.R. Martin
I intended the Grim Chronicles series for young adult fans of Harry Potter, Narnia, and Redwall. Book two continues the magical adventures of Howl, the boy wizard, and his human and animal companions in their battle for freedom. As new evils come to Grimsland, they must find new allies, stand with old foes, and tap into unimagined wonders. The story also includes chapter illustrations of scenes and characters. Your feedback is vital to improve the series. All reviews are welcome and appreciated.
Targeted Age Group:: YA and adult fans of magic fantasy
Heat/Violence Level: Heat Level 3 – PG-13
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I was inspired to write this series while teaching ESL in Thailand. I worked with people from many countries and the experience sparked the idea of creating an adventure where different nationalities are represented by various heroic animals. Also, growing up as a navy kid, I am a big fan of old war movies and got the notion to use the events of WWII as a loose frame for the epic series.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The assortment of animals characters I created were chosen based on natural habitats of mountain animals. What animals actually live in mountains? This prevented me from using giraffes and zebras, but it was easy to fall in love with the wolves and beavers and other animals in the series.

Operation White Out: A Mac McDowell Mission by Robert Williscroft
Recovering from his Operation Arctic Sting injuries, USS Teuthis Executive Officer Mac McDowell is tasked with laying SOSUS arrays in the southern Atlantic and off Thurston Island, Western Antarctica. Teuthis tangles with Argentine subs in the south Atlantic, then confronts a ChiCom sub off Thurston Island. Mac and his team experience serious setbacks at the hands of the ChiComs while installing a relay transmitter on a nearby mountain peak. Teuthis discovers an underwater oil operation off Thurston Island and is tasked with escorting a Taiwanese sub and underwater tanker under the cover of the largest military marine exercise since World War II: PacEx89. Teuthis is attacked by a Chinese Han-class sub and a previously unknown North Korean AIP sub despite the protection provided by three U.S. fast-attack subs. Will Mac and Teuthis complete their mission, or will they finally meet their watery graves on the Pacific Ocean abyssal plain?
Targeted Age Group:: YA and adult
Heat/Violence Level: Heat Level 3 – PG-13
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
This is the fourth book in the Mac McDowell Mission Series. These books incorporate my own extensive submarine and diving experience. I was initially inspired to write the bestselling first Mac McDowell Mission titled Operation Ivy Bells in order to tell the complete story of how we tapped into Soviet underwater communication lines. The rest of the books followed as I continued to tell the story of our underwater war with the Soviets during the 1970s and 1980s.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The members of the TOG dive team are composite personalities of the actual team members. The submarine officers and crew are also composites of the actual people involved in these operations. The higher-lever people are the actual people who played their roles during this time (they are all deceased now). Where necessary, I have created personalities who would likely have actually been in their positions as I describe them.

Sazerac, Sleuth & Slay, An Andi Anna Jones Mystery Book 2 by Mary Cunningham
It’s gonna be a great day! Or, so she thought.
Andi Anna Jones, so-so travel agent, amateur sleuth, doesn’t suspect her least favorite client, Stewart (The Pain) Payne, will set off circumstances that lead to disappearance and death.
After his wife doesn’t show for a convention in New Orleans, his threat to sue Graves Travel for “ten times more than it’s worth”, and Andi’s guilt over a long-overdue promise made to her dad, leads her to The Big Easy in search of Grace Payne.
Four unsolved murders, a body caught in a crawfish cage, and a mysterious candle, magic, and incense shop, leads Andi deep into the bayou on a hunt for clues. Will another victim be added to the serial killer’s list, or is the main suspect closer to Andi than she thinks?
Targeted Age Group:: Adult
Heat/Violence Level: Heat Level 1 – G Rated Clean Read
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Keeping with some excellent advice I got years ago to “write what you know’, the series is loosely based on a horrifying stint I had in North Miami Beach as a travel agent. I hope to exorcise the experience from my memory by giving main character, Andi Anna Jones, a positive course for her curiosity and love of a good mystery.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Andi Anna Jones is loosely based on me, although she leads a much more exciting and dangerous life.
Her employee in the agency, Ellie, is also loosely based on an agent I worked with in North Miami. Ellen had a Tennessee accent that wouldn't quit.
The Ruby Jones character, Andi's annoying ex-stepmother, came from an old sitcom called "Alice." I imagined Ruby as Flo from that series.

About the Book
“The mystery unfolds in Rohit Dharupta’s fantasy fiction that doesn’t let the reader’s curiosity die till the end.” — The Tribune
What would you do if you realized one fine morning that nobody around you woke up? Well, Mandira certainly has no clue.
In the city of Abbynton, Mandira lives with her carefree husband, organized daughter, reclusive son, and mischievous dog. She is baffled by frequent encounters with a mysterious man, Jack, trying to warn her of a disaster looming on earth that her son Ryan can only thwart.
How can a protective mom trust someone only she can see making a preposterous claim about Ryan, who can barely lead a normal life?
All hell breaks loose; Mandira discovers the unknown existence and witnesses the unthinkable to the point where the lines blur between reality and delusion. What follows leaves the entire World topsy turvy, her loved ones endangered, and the life on the verge of extinction.
Emotional mom and vulnerable son must do everything to restore the order of the World.

About Susan McDonough Wachtman:
I'm a kayaker, writer, mother, wife, gardener, teacher, cat lover and book addict. I self-published Snail’s Pace and Arabella’s Gift after their publishers went out of business. Matriarchs: Eliza’s Revenge won best genre novel from the Pacific Northwest Writers Conference. Ferry Findings, a collection of short stories, was published by Kitsap Publishing in 2016. “Well written,” “quirky sense of humor,” and “doesn’t fit the genre” are the comments I hear most about my books and stories.
What inspires you to write?
I've always been compelled to write, as far back as I can remember. I am inspired by the many excellent authors who wrapped me up in their worlds over the years: Elizabeth Peters, Connie Willis, R.A. McAvoy, Mary Stewart, Mary Norton, Edith Nesbit, Louisa May Alcott, and Zola Helen Ross (My first writing teacher who was an author. She was one of the founders of PNWA).
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Today, I am inspired by the authors who write social commentary with quietly amazing heroines, like T. Kingfisher, Emma Newman, Becky Chambers, Arkady Martine, Rivers Solomon, N.K. Jemisin, and Ann Leckie.
Tell us about your writing process.
I’m a pantser– I write until I get stuck, then go back and rewrite until I get stuck again. I don’t recommend this method! I have tried to be more methodical, to plot and to outline, but I get bored and never stick with it.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I hear my characters talking to each other, but I seldom talk to them. They are in their world, and I am in mine. I'm a voyeur, I guess — I stalk them.
What advice would you give other writers?
Write because you love it. It’s too much work to do it for any other reason.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
That's a sad story, really. I tried hard to get published "traditionally." I had an agent for a while. I was told my books were too "quirky," or didn't "fit a genre." So then I went to small publishers — a couple of them went out of business. Then I self-published through Pronoun –and THEY went out of business. Now I'm back to the small publisher again — Water Dragon Publishing. They've promised not to go out of business.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
The future of publishing? Well, there is one! I may be a science fiction author, but I am no clairvoyant. I can't predict where all this AI stuff will take us. But people will want stories, and people will create stories, and somehow the two will have to get together in some way.

About Peter Sarno:
Peter Sarno taught literature and memoir courses at the University of Massachusetts, Boston and has published essays, reviews, and short stories.
While a graduate student at UMass, he won the Donald E Cookson prize in nonfiction. His work has appeared in The Boston Globe, Music World magazine, Sweet Potato, Gannet newspapers, Gatehouse Media, and other outlets.
What inspires you to write?
Slice of life tales of working class people who sometimes act heroically, mostly accept each other's frailties, and usually try to face each new day with courage, resolve, and humor.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
A tough question to ask of a lit professor (smile). There are dozens. Fitzgerald, Ann Beattie, Andre Dubus, Jr., Ann Patchett, Roland Merullo, Richard Russo, Anne Tyler, Billie Letts, Susan Cheever, Maya Angelou, Denise Duhamel, Susanna Kaysen, Joe Torra, Marge Piercy, Alice Munro—and, early on, the Russians, Camus, Ibsen, Dick Gregory, John Cheever, Eugene O'Neill…
Tell us about your writing process.
I know (and respect) authors who outline and use whiteboard techniques etc., and they usually complete their manuscripts a lot quicker than I do. But, for better or worse, I seem to have to accompany the characters along the journey. I may have some general idea how one of my short stories or novels will end—but not a definitive one. To know exactly where I was—or my characters were—headed would deadened the experience for me, take the fun of discovery away. And, I rely on my editors and early readers to point out what isn't working and to ask me questions. The problem with this process of course is that it takes me a great deal longer to complete a work. And, at my age, that's not a good thing (smile).
What advice would you give other writers?
Find and hire a good and trustworthy editor. Stay away from negative people. Read a lot of stuff–at least in your genre of choice. Don't feel guilty when those other folks tell you that you MUST write every day. How the 'f' can that be accomplished by most of us? And I think that type of direction discourages an aspiring author and provides one more reason for him or her to give up. Find the time that you can to write and try to keep it sacred–no matter how limited it is. Other authors don't know your lifestyle, your responsibilities, what's on your shoulders. 'F' them, and do the best you can with the time you have.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I have an Indie house that has published 50 plus titles during the past decade–some of these by major best-selling authors. There was some interest in "Visions of Johanna" by a few small firms. And, I had no interest in publishing the novel myself, but in the end, I thought if I were to, I could do more to promote it. And I know it sounds absolutely strange, but in my mind, characters like Johanna, Heather, and Aubrey deserved the extra effort.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
Few publishing firms have the inclination or finances to nurture beginning authors. In addition, our attention spans are decreasing—as well as our interest in devoting the time to full-length books. I can see that decline in my own twelve-year-old granddaughter's reading activities. So, I'm pessimistic. I certainly would prefer not to be, and do hope I'm wrong.

What inspires you to write?
There is a constant nagging in the back of my brain, telling me I need to write. It's definitely partly just my favorite pastime, but I think it's also just in my blood.
With that in mind, so many things inspire an idea or scene: people I meet, songs I hear, a feeling I need to express, some movie that did a crappy job of delivering its story, and more. My first book was inspired by Brian Jacques' novels. One of my stories has some Viking hints to it because Vikings are just epic (at least as far as I know them in watered-down depictions). One of my stories is like Harry Potter meets Game of Thrones. One of my stories is the exploration of what it means to be a complete human: physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. One of my stories was just a mind-bending outlet for all the emotions I felt throughout the years I spent writing it.
I've been inspired by simple quotations, painful losses, witty challenges, and beyond. One of my favorite sources of inspiration is asking "What if?"
So many.
Too many.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
C. S. Lewis forever. I love the worlds he created as well as how much content he packed into so few words. For example, his most famous novel The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was only just over 38,000 words. For the rest of that series even, the maximum word count stops short of 65,000. I'm not saying that a shorter novel is necessarily better, but Lewis managed to do extraordinary things with so little space.
I also adore Brandon Sanderson. He uses a far higher word count (383,389 in The Way of Kings for example), but he also packs in so much vivid content. He manages to make each of his characters believable and relatable.
There are so many other great authors I've read, but none stands out so boldly as those two.
Tell us about your writing process.
More and more, I am finding a balance between "planning" and "pantsing." I used to craft most of my work from scratch. It felt authentic, but I think I was sacrificing a lot of skills and resources just to pretend it was more real. I'm learning that I can find inspiration—and even general plot formats—in others' stories without abandoning my own style.
For my most recent project, I wanted to write a story about a lonely boy who escapes his loneliness. I decided to use The Iron Giant (a favorite childhood movie) as my starting outline. The tale quickly pulled away from the original idea, but having that crutch of sorts in mind made it so much easier to get started.
Now, I continue writing the book with a healthy mixture of letting my feelings take over combined with deciding ahead of time what scenes need to happen to get my main character where he needs to go.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I am my characters. With rare exceptions, I am simply infusing some fictional being with facets of my own heart. In that sense, most of my literature consists of me talking to myself. I am constantly asking, "What is going on inside my heart today? How can I be vulnerable about that while still packaging it in the format of a boy at a military camp? Or a jaded high-ranking official who belongs to an evil empire? Or a girl who discovers she has magic powers she can't control?"
What advice would you give other writers?
Stop whining. Keep writing.
The life of the writer has become a meme, a joke. The writer's reputation consists of finding excuses not to write. It won't be easy. Marketing is a female dog. The work never ends. Some people won't like what you write. You don't understand grammar well enough. Your story has already been written. AI might take over the world.
None of that matters.
Work harder. Be more vulnerable.
Working harder means being diligent about the actual craft. Don't be lazy. "Language is always changing" is just a cheap excuse not to know writing rules. Know how to use punctuation (or at least know exactly how YOU use punctuation). Practice different styles. Try writing a poem. Maintain some kind of blog. Carry a pen. Write everything down that pops into your head. (There's no lack of digital space.) Don't wait for "inspiration." Inspiration is bullshit. Good feelings don't write books. Good feelings provide flavor, but hard work writes books. Sit down. Push through your angst. Stop complaining. Aim for a specific word count every time you sit down to write. Sit down to write more often.
Being more vulnerable means letting your own issues show through your work. Even more so, use your issues to fuel your writing. Readers might not be able to identify how or where, but they can sense when a writer is faking it. In contrast, even if your grammar is a bit shoddy, a vulnerable story will capture readers. There are always other variables of course like marketing, accessibility, language barriers, etc. However, if you're just trying to sound good, it'll backfire. Instead, write as truthfully as you can. Even—perhaps especially—in fiction, be as honest as you can. Take your own experiences and emotions and just reskin them according to your genre.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
Traditional publishers seem more and more clogged. Also, they seem more and more bent on publishing trendy themes instead of quality literature. Plus, a friend of mine had self-published two books before a publishing company reached out to her based on her success. The biggest appeal for me, though, is being able to control the process almost every step of the way.
In the midst of publishing my first book through KDP, I thought I'd never do it again. It was a draining process. I decided to commit to it and wrote a whole new book primarily for the sake of practicing the publishing process. That one was hard work instead of misery. Since then, I've published two more, and the process is becoming smooth, enjoyable even.
Marketing is still a female dog, but I'm confident my creations are worthwhile. Getting them noticed is just the next exhausting step in the overall process.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
At its core, it will stay the same. People love reading. People love writing. It used to be handwritten. Next, it was a printing press. Then, it was automated printing. Our technology expands, and some worry that AI will take over. It'll jam up the process for a bit, but we can't help loving the reading and writing of words.
Beyond that, thinking of AI again, we're thirsty for depth. AI can churn out grammatically clean sentences whose plagiarism is well hidden, but the dryness of it shows through.
We will always want deep, believable stories.
What genres do you write?: I've dabbled with all of them, but my main two pillars are fantasy and science fiction.
What formats are your books in?: eBook, Print, Both eBook and Print

About Matt Lucas:
MATT LUCAS writes varying forms of speculative fiction, including urban fantasy, paranormal, sci-fi, and horror. He weaves these genres in an action-packed, thought-provoking manner. Teeming with fresh ideas, Matt’s broad skill set includes apocalyptic literature, sword & sorcery epics, paranormal alternate history, and even romance. Cultivating complex characters, Matt guides you into questioning the hero's motives and empathizing with the villain's tortured past. Red herrings abound as you follow twisting plots adorned with subtle hints that culminate in shocking conclusions. Each of Matt’s works serve as an allegory for faith, ultimately pointing to the world’s true and only hero, Jesus Christ.
What inspires you to write?
The idea of leaving something behind once I leave this world. I like thinking that my children, grandchildren, and beyond will get a glimpse into my life's work and that it might impact them positively. I infuse my faith into my writing as well, so the notion that my books might help someone better understand God is a significant motivation.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
CS Lewis, JRR Tolkien, Dan Brown, and George RR Martin
Tell us about your writing process.
I'm a hybrid between a plotter and pantser, so I don't get the often polarizing internet debates. I plot big events and often know the end of the story before I start writing it. This allows me to do a lot of foreshadowing and create red herrings to keep my readers guessing. However, the pantsing part comes in with how my characters get to those big events. I allow my characters to develop and as their personalities are revealed, I adjust their course toward those milestone events.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I don't listen or talk to them, but really investigate their motivations.
What advice would you give other writers?
Never give up. Writing is an amazing craft because, as long as you have a sharp mind, you can do it your entire life. If you're pursuing a publishing route, perseverance is key. Take reader feedback and use negative feedback as lessons for growth, rather than letting them break your spirit.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I have a ton of respect for self-published authors, but I chose the traditional route. A lot of writers are balancing work, life, family, and writing and I'm no different. The traditional route allows someone else to do a lot of the heavy lifting for me, so I can focus on telling great stories. While agents may seem like the gatekeepers, there are plenty of reputable traditional publishers that don't require an agent to submit. I chose this route after the agency I signed with closed due to the pandemic.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
The market will become more niche and fragmented. There's just so much content available and so much genre-blending stories that the traditional buckets just won't do anymore. You'll begin to see new niches and a multiplication of sub-markets.
What genres do you write?: Speculative fiction, horror, urban fantasy, fantasy, sword & sorcery, paranormal
What formats are your books in?: Both eBook and Print, Audiobook

About K. Rose:
K. Rose has been a part of the Indie Author Community for years. Getting her start as a reader, her keen eye led to a wonderful career in Alpha/Beta and ARC (Advance Reader Copy) reading. As a joke to her fellow advanced reader colleagues, she created a spoofed blurb and cover for a story and the feedback was so positive that it sparked her to run with it.
That stoked a fire that has her racing down a multi-genre freeway with no off-ramp in sight. K. doesn’t write to “market” and she is fairly certain that her humor and use of puns may cause an eye roll or two. This still wouldn’t stop her from making sure there is humor in every one of her stories. As a Multi Genre Author, there is sure to be something for everyone to love.
She has traveled the USA extensively, including Alaska, and lived in thirty-eight of the fifty states. Home is now the beautiful state of Wisconsin, where she dreams up her stories in the company of her menagerie of furbabies, including five puppies, three rescue kitties, a bunch of chickens, ducks and turkeys ruled by a Rooster named Chicken Parm, a ninety-gallon tropical fish tank and a chatty nineteen-year-old Cherry Headed Conure named Oscar!
Life will always be interesting for K. Rose, which will fuel her works, and keep her muses singing, come join the chorus.
What inspires you to write?
I am always inspired to write stories that I have in my head hat I feel need to be told. Stories that haven't been told before because maybe they have the rules of genre or trope bending to near the point of breaking.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
My favorite authors are the ones that can make me feel everything, and see clearly in my mind the exact scene. I don't have any favorites more than that, and perhaps the author of the book I am reading right now (as in whichever one that is in that moment). I tend to read other Indie Romance authors' books when I am not writing. I do still read Alpha/beta and ARC for a number of authors as well.
Tell us about your writing process.
I have been mostly a Plotter/planster. Though I did just write a novella on the fly with just an idea in my mind of the story, I wanted to tell. So I guess now I could be a hybrid style!
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I am a director of sorts. I see the scenes play out in front of my mind's eye, and I direct the characters with a script. Sometimes they go ad lib and it works, and other times I have to "reshoot" a scene.
Sometimes I end up the one crying or laughing; but by the end of the scene, everyone has done their jobs perfectly.
What advice would you give other writers?
The best advice I was ever given was to just write. Write whatever you feel in that moment and follow your muse. Even if it isn't the project you are meant to be working on. Never ignore the muse. You can't edit a blank page.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I just went straight for Self publishing, and Indie Publishing houses. I never want to be stuck in the query lines at the big publishing houses. Plus the genre in which I write (mainly reverse harem romance) is a niche market that Kindle unlimited subscribers love.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I hope that Amazon, Kobo, apple books and all of the ebook distributors crack down more heavily on the book pirate sites themselves, since it is essentially stealing business from them as well. However, if they keep cracking down on us authors for the piracy when we have no control over it, soon enough the indie and self published authors wont be able to afford to publish. I also hope that in the future the distributors will be more fair to the authors in the royalties they offer.
What genres do you write?: I am a multi Genre Author, Fantasy Romance, Paranormal Romance, Sci Fi Romance, YA Fantasy, Children's Illustrated, Contemporary Romance, Paranormal Thriller, and more!
What formats are your books in?: eBook, Print, Both eBook and Print, Audiobook

About James Quinlan Meservy:
I am James Quinlan Meservy
Fantasy Author Extraordinaire,
Creator of Creatures,
Embellisher of Events,
And Firebrand
“Stories that Kindle Imagination"
James Quinlan Meservy loves literature! His favorite genre to read is classic literature (Charles Dickens is his favorite author).
He lives in Southeast Idaho with his wife and children, and spent his childhood moving all across northern Utah. He considers his home town to be Mendon, Ut, a small community near Logan, Utah in the Cache Valley.
What inspires you to write?
My writing inspirations frequently come from brainstorming sessions with fellow authors and my dreams. Once I have a dream about an idea, I know I have a story to write.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
My favorite author is Charles Dickens.
Other favorites include Mark Twain, Tessonja Odette, Stephen King (not his horror work, his fantasy and sci-fi work), Cris Pasqueralle, Brandon Sanderson, and JRR Tolkien.
Tell us about your writing process.
When I first started writing, I was a complete pantser. I strongly believed in Stephen King's "digging up a dinosaur fossil" theory that he explains in his non-fiction book "On Writing.
My recent project, the Dragon's Deceit series, is an epic fantasy, and my author coach is teaching me about story theory, writing to a theme, and as a result of that, I am using the outline software Plottr to give my story a light outline.
Once I have my story idea, I sit at my computer, put in ear plugs, read inspiring literature, pray to my God for clarity and direction, and write.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Only all the time.
The character who is the loudest about everything is Amanda Adams from The United.
When I am writing a new story, I have several interviews with my characters.
For example, at present one of my works in progress is the final book of the Realm of the Light series. I keep trying to schedule an interview with Arctyrus Hunter, but he only gives me one word answers to my questions, if he answers at all, and I need to rely on his wife, Kestrel, and other minor characters for the details that Arctyrus refuses to relive.
What advice would you give other writers?
My best advice for writers is to read.
Read everything and anything.
Of course, focus on the genres you write and the genres you enjoy to read, but I have been amazed at how much I can learn about the writing project by reading new genres and new authors.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
When it comes to publishing books, I am a hybrid author. What I mean by that is I have some titles that are published with a publisher, and I have other titles that are self-published.
How I came about that decision is a bit of boring story, but here it is.
After I signed the contract to publish The United, The Realm of the Light Book 1 with Cosby Media Productions, I had this idea for a stand alone short story about a couple camping the wilderness and seeing a jackalope. The story was short, had nothing to do with The United, or the world of the Realm of the Light, and I wanted to use it as my reader magnet. So I found a friend to help with the cover, another friend to help with the editing, and published Jackalopes myself. After that, I just started believing that every story has a publishing path of its own. Some projects I can promote better with a publisher, others I can do better myself.
So, my advise to new authors is to really understand your personal goal in publishing each individual story. Is it to make money? Is it to have a reader magnet? Is it to learn how to market a book yourself? Is it to just be creative and forget about it?
Then explore the different options you have to publish, and decide which publishing path helps you fulfill your publishing goal and go for it.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I think more and more authors will choose to self publish their books on more platforms that just Amazon Kindle.
I do not believe Amazon Kindle will go away, I just believe that we as a literary culture are trending away from traditional publishers, and Kindle Unlimited, and more toward wide distribution of ebooks.
What genres do you write?: Fantasy, Science Fiction, Dystopian, Poetry, Contemporary Literature
What formats are your books in?: eBook, Print, Both eBook and Print, Audiobook

About Howard Clarke:
Howard Clarke published clinical research and medical journal articles during a long teaching and medical career. He then wrote and illustrated a young readers' fantasy novel, The Door Into Whimsy. He is developing a new suspense genre that merges dystopian near-future settings with detective stories.
What inspires you to write?
The urge to see an inner story unfold, to create worlds that exist in part, but not fully breathing yet.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Jack Vance. Roger Zelazny. Rex Stout.
Tell us about your writing process.
Like to write longhand, then dictate, and finally edit in text on PC. Have to have a basic conflict, setting, and main characters, then fill out from there initially on notebook paper.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
More like watch them talk to each other. Watch them interact, collide, fence, explore. If it’s a villain, not so much then within his/her skin, but from a slight distance.
What advice would you give other writers?
Don’t rush to publication. Make it your best—novel, textbook, article—anything that has your name as author.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
After being burned by Hollywood, I decided to go a self-pub route. Lonely, no calls from producers who cannot converse without the word f*** in every sentence, but tougher to reach top level movers etc. Not sure I would have survived in LA LA land, though.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I think too many writers go for the fast sell series rather than struggling for the more literary level that an emotionally single breakthrough novel would reach.
What genres do you write?: Fiction, Suspense, detective, occult.
What formats are your books in?: Both eBook and Print

About Dr. Jenna Podjasek:
JENNA PODJASEK, MD, underwent internal medical training at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, followed by a two-year clinical and research fellowship in Allergy and Immunology. She lives with her husband, two children, and numerous pets in the suburbs of Chicago. Particles in the Air is her first novel.
What inspires you to write?
I spent most of my childhood reading, writing, playing music, and creating art. When a family member became ill, I began to explore medicine as a career. In college, my focus shifted, and I spent years immersed in science. I enjoyed seeing patients and helping people but felt I was only using the concrete, analytical part of my brain. I realized I missed this other side of me, and I decided I needed to do something creative.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Ohhh, where to begin?? Some writers that come immediately to mind are Michael Crichton, Megan Miranda, Steve Konkoly, Gillian Flynn, Terry Hayes, Jonathan Kellerman, Shalini Boland, Ruth Ware, Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. Occasionally I shift gears and enjoy reading classics by Charles Dickens, Louisa May Alcott, and Charlotte Bronte.
Tell us about your writing process.
For Particles in the Air, I made an extremely detailed outline. I spent weeks in coffee shops, researching scenes and ideas. I knew exactly how the book was going to end before I started writing. My character’s personalities began to slowly take shape during this process.
I don’t have any formal training in creative writing or know many writers, so I wasn’t aware writing tools like Whiteboard even existed. I was familiar with Microsoft Word from school and used it out of necessity. For future outlines, I’ll explore other formats.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
In a way, I listen to my characters as I write, sketching out particular scenes (with dialogue) in my mind. I picture them talking to each other; however, they’ve never talked to me directly. Speaking to my characters sounds interesting – I may need to give it a try!
What advice would you give other writers?
This will sound a bit cliché, but don’t give up. Really – don’t do it. Writing a novel isn’t easy for many reasons. You will get rejections and reviews you don’t agree with.
Marveling at the genius of other writers, I’ve looked up reviews of some of my favorite books. I expected near one hundred percent positive reviews and was shocked to see this wasn’t the case. For creative pieces like books and art, opinions can vary widely.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
Prior to signing with Bancroft Press, I considered all publishing opportunities, including self-publishing, traditional, and hybrid publishing. I ultimately decided on the traditional route as I felt I lacked contacts and experience in the industry. I also wasn’t confident in putting together and executing a solid marketing plan.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
There has been a shift towards self-publications in recent years. In part, I think this is due to the relative ease sites like Amazon make the process. The positive side to self-publishing is the increased percentage of royalties that go directly to the author. Given this, I think we may see more authors choosing this route.
What genres do you write?: Fiction, thriller/mystery, medical thriller
What formats are your books in?: Both eBook and Print

About Cheryl L Ilov:
Please allow me to introduce myself. I am a dancer, martial artist, and a recovering physical therapist turned Amazon best-selling and award winning author. I never planned on becoming an author, nor did I even consider myself a writer. However, I have always had a passion for storytelling, and I suppose my writing career began by chronicling medical documents and progress reports for thousands of patients as a medical professional in the fields of both respiratory and physical therapy. Along the way, I discovered that weaving stories along with treatment modalities helped educate my patients and was a powerful tool in their recovery and ongoing progress.
I started a blog in 2011, when a marketing “expert” I was working with set one up for me, even though I had no idea what a blog was or why I would possibly want one. But once I was able to figure it out, I began writing about health, fitness, and life in general, integrating my knack for storytelling and fine tuning my writing skills at the same time.
After a few years of writing blogs and attracting many followers, I had a mental head smacking moment when I realized that those blogs could be organized to create an outline for a manuscript and subsequent book. And that is when my new career as an author was launched, at the tender young age of sixty-one.
When I am not writing, you can find me in a ballet class dancing with my barre buddies, hanging out in a martial arts dojo beating up bad guys, hiking in the glorious Rocky Mountains, or relaxing at home with my handsome husband and our two adorable Italian Greyhounds. Life is good!
What inspires you to write?
I believe that all of us have important stories which need to be shared with the world. Stories that can inspire, motivate, entertain, educate, or simply give us food for thought. I also believe that when we share our stories, we connect with each other and build healthy relationships which will then help make the world a better place. At least, that is my hope and prayer, and that is what inspires me to write.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
I am an avid reader and enjoy a wide variety of different authors. However, I really enjoy reading the works of other local and independent authors, including both fiction and non-fiction.
Tell us about your writing process.
I usually start with a few ideas, and scribble them down the old fashioned way, taking pen to paper. And I do mean scribble, because sometimes I'm in such a hurry I can't even read my own notes. Once I have several key points and ideas written down, I start playing with the organization of the basic ideas and expand on them over time.
I am a knitter, and I like to think that writing is like knitting with words, only without a pattern, and not knowing exactly how it's going to turn out. It used to cause me high anxiety, but now I just enjoy the process and go with the flow.
What advice would you give other writers?
Don't be too hard on yourself, especially if things aren't going well. If you're feeling stuck or frustrated, step away from the project and go for a walk, do some yoga, sit quietly in nature, or whatever helps you hit the refresh button.
As for myself, I let it go for a few days, get lost in some knitting, dance class, etc. Going up to the mountains also has a powerful and positive effect on getting my creative juices a jump start.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
After doing extensive research, I decided that self-publishing was the best choice for me, and I am very happy that I did.
I recommend that all new authors look into and evaluate all options before they decide which direction they would like to go, and to talk to a variety of published authors to hear what their experiences were like with the choices they made as well.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I think it is going to continue to grow and provide great opportunities for all authors to share their work. It's very exciting.
What genres do you write?: Non-fiction
What formats are your books in?: Both eBook and Print, Audiobook

About C.K. Miller:
C.K. Miller is a YA Fantasy author who can never get enough hot cocoa.
Much of her inspiration comes from her childhood years of playing in castle ruins, dense woods, and sloping vineyards of Bavaria, Germany.
After seven years of living in a bilingual household, and attending the local German schools, her family moved back to the U.S.A. It was a confusing time for a girl of fourteen just starting American High School. She’d left everything she knew behind: her friends, her home, and even her language. English did not come easy to her, nor did making friends. Everyone called her sweet, but quiet.
After making a friend who shared her love for stories, they began writing together, passing notebooks back and forth during lunch and after school. Eleven notebooks, and two years later, C.K. was struck with the desire to do more with her growing knowledge of the English language. She began writing her own stories in earnest, with a dream to become a published author.
In 2018, her debut novel, The Phoenix Host was released, and she hasn’t looked back.
What inspires you to write?
Many times the urge to write comes from images and scenes that play out in my head when I'm trying to sleep. Sometimes they appear when I'm on a walk–then I'm super irritated until I get them out on paper. Haha. My family knows this all too well.
The inspiration for my first book, The Phoenix Host, came when my dad gifted me a necklace with a tiny blue stone attached to it. My imagination went wild. I had also just recently left Germany and really wanted to go back, so I took myself there with my writing.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Oh! So many. Right now my favorite is Brandon Sanderson. But I love Robin Hobb, Marissa Mayer, Cornelia Funke, and Patrick Rothfuss. I wish I could say the classics like Tolkien – but I was unable to get through the Lord of the Rings.
Tell us about your writing process.
I'm still trying to decide what sort of writer I am. My first book took me 10 years to write because I was 'pantsing'. I wrote myself into so many corners.
After listening to advice from the author James Scott Bell, I've begin to implement 'signposts'. A goal or event to write towards, which has allowed me to stay flexible in my writing, but not put my characters in a situation I can't logically get them out of.
Though I still feel like this takes too long. I'm never certain where I'm going. I would love to be more confident and release all the stories in my head with a much faster pace. I have a new book I intend to write where I am trying the "Saves the Cat Writes a Novel" method. I have a huge corkboard on my wall now, littered with notes. Much more outlining involved. We shall see.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Haha. Sometimes. Just recently I found myself scolding one of my characters while I was writing. I literally grumbled, "Leander, what are you doing?" He just was not cooperating. Sometimes they tell you where the story should go and it throws everything else off. But, if they are true to their character, sometimes its for the best.
What advice would you give other writers?
Stay true to you.
So many times I find myself thinking, "What do my readers want?" It puts so much pressure on myself and makes the writing process tedious and unenjoyable.
Also, learn from other authors. If you don't have time to read, listen to audiobooks. (That is what I do.) Listen to podcasts on writing advice. Read your work out loud. Write simple. Write beautiful.
Most of all, don't stop. You may need to take a break sometimes, but don't stop if it is your passion.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I was originally picked up by a small printing press, which is now out of business. The things I learned there were life-changing. I eventually voided the contract and turned to self-publishing instead–because I was doing all the work anyway. If you are fortunate enough to find a reputable agent to work with you, I would highly recommend that. Though it will put more pressure on how much and how often you write. It becomes more of a business, which is fine!
As for me, I am a mother first, and an author second. Self-publishing has given me to the opportunity to follow my dreams at my own pace. And the freedom to create what I envision.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
Honestly, I'm worried. The publishing world, especially self-publishing, has become saturated with poorly written books, AI scripts, and non-passionate ghostwriters, making it hard for authors with true skill and talent to be overlooked and underestimated. I hope that someday, self-published authors can be recognized as real, talented, and reputable.

About C. M. Alongi:
C. M. Alongi is a fantasy/sci-fi author with a (fake) sword, a crochet hook, and two cats who keep trying to claw apart her furniture. Her epic fantasy novella series BLACKWING, starting with TO KILL A NECROMANCER, began this year and features a paladin and necromancer forced to work together to save the world. Her science fiction novel CITADEL comes out in June, featuring wolves with wings, telepathy, and telekinesis.
She graduated from Hamline University with a double bachelor's in history and social justice. She still lives in the Midwest, mostly because it's too freezing cold or too sweltering hot to move.
What inspires you to write?
The burning itch beneath my skin that drives me to insanity when I DON'T write.
Things that have had an impact on my writing have been history, current events, Rick Riordan, George R. R. Martin, and countless action/adventure movies and shows.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Uuuuuhhhhhhh…
Rick Riordan
George R. R. Martin (if he ever finishes his damn series)
Nnedi Okorafor
R. F. Kuang
Tiana Warner
C. L. Polk
Jane Austen
Tell us about your writing process.
I am definitely a planner (re: outliner). I don't understand how people can literally make it all up as they go along without at least penciling in a basic plot structure or worldbuilding or character notes. How? HOW???
I use Scrivener for outlining and writing. It makes it much easier to locate notes, move chapters around, and–if necessary–to change my outline.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
For me, it's more of watching a movie in my head. I don't "talk to" my characters, per se, but I do drop them in a variety of different scenarios, adjusting their backgrounds, motivations, and character interactions as needed. It's the epitome of "I have forty tabs open and don't know where the music is coming from."
Once something clicks, I delete the other thirty-nine tabs and go with the one that works best.
What advice would you give other writers?
It sounds corny, but seriously: never give up.
Before you find that one literary agent or that one publisher that takes on your book, you're going to get so many rejection letters that you'll be able to completely redo the wallpaper of your living room. But each rejection gets you closer to the one that accepts you.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
Having done both, it depends entirely on the story itself, the format, and my goals.
CITADEL, I knew, I wanted to traditionally publish. It's my debut novel, so I wasn't entirely sure what I was doing and didn't want to mess it up. The fact that I was (am) broke and couldn't afford all the editors, cover artist, and resources required for an effective self-publishing also factored into it.
My BLACKWING novella series, on the other hand, is something else entirely. For starters, they're novellas. Publishers don't like doing those outside of anthologies. By the time I was writing them, I (sort of) knew how to navigate the writing and publishing world. And more to the point, I wanted to publish them before CITADEL came out so I can better grow my readership and audience in preparation for that launch. So I needed speed. All of this pointed to the self-publishing route.
Both options are perfectly valid, and they both have their strengths and weaknesses. So long as I get to write and create, I don't really care what method of publication is being used.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
It's definitely an evolving field–we're seeing the rise of audiobooks, and of course television and movies are becoming easier and cheaper to make, meaning they need more stories, meaning books are more likely to be put on screen.
It's very exciting. But also, writers struggle so much financially. I STILL have to work in a deli in order to make ends meet. If publishers keep paying authors pennies, they're quickly going to find themselves out of their own business as self-publishing takes over.

About Bruce J. Berger:
BRUCE J. BERGER turned to writing after a 40-year career as a trial attorney, earning his MFA in Creative Writing from American University in Washington, DC, where he now teaches. His first novel, The Flight of the Veil, won a Bronze Award in General Fiction from Illumination Christian Book Awards, and his second novel, The Music Stalker, was a Finalist (Suspense) in the Next Gen Indie Book Awards contest. Including To See God, the three novels are now grouped by the publisher as the Forgiveness and Faith novel series. Bruce J. Berger has also published more than 50 stories and poems in a wide variety of literary journals. He lives in Silver Spring, Maryland, with his wife, Laurie, and their dog, Whiskey, and down the street from his grandson Cole and granddaughter Neely, to whom he has dedicated To See God.
What inspires you to write?
First, I feel my desire to write is a natural human urge, that is, to be creative. That’s baked into our DNA, although some people have more opportunity that others to express this desire or see it come to fruition. Second, writing for me is a discovery process. I want to discover what happens to the characters I’ve created, how they handle the triumphs and tragedies that all human life experiences. So, I want to see who lives and who dies, whose dreams are rewarded and whose dreams are thwarted.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Let’s start with Dostoevsky, who The Brothers Karamazov is still the best novel I have ever read. As a former trial attorney, I’m particularly moved by the famous trial in that novel. But beyond that, I very much love the novels of John Fowles, author of The Magus and The French Lieutenant’s Woman among others, and Charles Frazier, author of Cold Mountain and Thirteen Moons, among others. I have frequently reread these, so many times, in fact, that I’ve lost count.
Tell us about your writing process.
I am much more of a “seat of the pants” writer. Although I may have a general idea, when I start out, of the main action of the novel, I let the novel unfold as I write scene-by-scene, and often what emerges is very different from what I had originally contemplated. It hasn’t been my practice to write character sketches, however. At this point, I’ve been writing about the same characters for about 14 years. I know them already, almost as well as I know my real family members.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I most certainly do both listen and talk to my characters. How else can I learn what they need and want? Or how else can I learn what they’re thinking? In fact, the idea of an author talking with his characters is so strongly imbedded in me that I’ve published at least two short stories where this explicitly occurs, “Conversation Under Duress” and “Invitation Accepted,” which are included in the Nate and Adel series of 17 short stories that I have made available on Amazon for e-readers.
What advice would you give other writers?
I would turn the old adage “Write what you know” on its head. Instead, I would urge writers to “Write what you need to know.” Another way of saying this is, “Write that book that you would most like to take off your bookshelf and read yourself.” In other words, write the novel whose world you not only want to create, but to discover and understand. Write the novel that will attempt to answer the questions you’ve always had.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I turned to small independent book publishers when I became frustrated with the difficulty of finding a literary agent, which is an absolute necessity if one wants to publish with one of the large publishers. Having landed with Black Rose Writing, I’ve never been sorry. My works are developing their audience, I’ve done well in literary contests I’ve entered, and I’ve probably sold as many copies as I would have had I ended up with a large publisher.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
Just as there’s an innate desire to create – and thus to write – there will always be a reading audience demanding new books. There will always be an impetus for writers and publishers to develop new audiences or enhance their existing audiences. I would hope that the human race has increasing amounts of leisure time and uses much of it to continue to read and therefore I hope that the book publishing industry keeps playing an important part in the progress of humanity.

About Astrid V.J.:
Award-winning and USA Today Bestselling Author, Astrid V.J. was born in South Africa. She is a trained social anthropologist and certified transformational life coach. She currently resides in Sweden with her husband and their two children. In early childhood, she showed an interest in reading and languages–interests which her family encouraged. Astrid started writing her first novel at age 12 and now writes fantasy in a variety of genres, exploring her passion for cultures and languages. When she isn't writing, Astrid likes to read, take walks in nature, play silly games with her children, do embroidery, and play music.
Astrid writes transformation fiction: incorporating transformation principles in novels, rather than writing another self-help book. She loves exploring the human capacity for transformation and potential to achieve success in the face of adversity. Astrid is interested in minority group questions, considerations on social standards of beauty and the negative consequences these have, and would like to make the fantasy genre accessible to people of non-white, non-Christian backgrounds. Astrid feels the fantasy genre has become too restrictive with limited representations of race, ethnicity and culture. She seeks to explore other paths on this writing journey, incorporating her background in anthropology and psychology to create engaging experiences, which also provide food for thought on the diverse topics she finds most important. These include: racism, minority rights, cultural diversity, culture change, intolerance, humanity's environmental impact, the representation of people on the autism spectrum among the general populace, the human capacity for transformation, and much more.
What inspires you to write?
Writing is in my blood and thus far, I've proven I can get a story idea from anywhere, whether it's a dream, an outing with my family or reading a book, an idea will come to me and latch on, and then it grows until one day I have a fully-formed idea.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Traditionally published: Margaret Atwood, Neil Gaiman, Guy Gavriel Kay, Michael Swanwick, Michael Ende and JV Jones.
Independently published: Alice Ivinya, Susan Stradiotto, Elena Shelest, Xander Cross, Rachel Rener, David Green, and M.L. Broome.
Tell us about your writing process.
I have loads of story ideas, far more than I have time to actually write at this stage. So, most of my stories remain ideas I mull over in my mind for a very long time before I even start plotting the outline, let alone writing the story. For most of my books, I've thought them over for long enough that when I do finally sit down to write, it just flows and comes to life on its own.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
If I get stuck writing a scene, I'll often ask the character involved, "What's next?" and wait for the answer to come to me.
What advice would you give other writers?
You're the only one who can write the story in your head. It doesn't matter if it's like something that already exists. Your story is unique to you and only you can create it, so go for it.
However, don't underestimate the need for a team. A book is a group effort. Yes, you have to write it, but you'll also need editors and a cover designer to help you polish your product so it becomes viable. Don't send your book baby out into the world unprepared. We are prepared to pay a lot of money to send our kids to college so they're prepared to face the big wide world; getting a book ready should be seen the same way. You're investing in your book's future by making sure it's ready to be out there.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I'd taken almost twenty years to accept that I ought to publish my books. Having wasted so much time just learning to believe in myself, I didn't think it would be wise to spend an equal amount of time trying to convince others' of my books' worth. It seemed more sensible to seize the moment and prove through the readers that my books are worth having out there, and that has proven true.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I think it's a very versatile time. The traditional publishers might have been the gate-keepers of literature for an inordinate amount of time, but that power is waning fast. Self-publishing is allowing for greater diversity to stream into the industry than has previously been allowed and that will have a huge impact on the industry as a whole. We're already seeing changes in mainstream publications because of it. Story ideas that would have been put down in the past are being embraced because the readers want it.

With Anna’s guidance and expertise, you too can break free from the constraints of the 9 to 5 and discover your true potential.
What inspires you to write?
Ten years ago, I started a personal blog which became a foundation for my business website, and it continues to be a key medium for attracting an audience. I've also written two books, Leaving the Corporate 9 to 5 – a collection of stories, interviews with people who quit their 9 to 5 like me to explore another version of success – and, more recently, Outside of the 9 to 5 – a consolidation of all the practical strategies and frameworks that I've developed in that decade of exploring and working for myself.
For this book, I was both structured and strategic. I have a framework called the 5 pillars of building a life and business outside of the 9 to 5, and each of those pillars consists of 4 steps. This gave me a robust skeleton on which I could build out the meat of the book, adding an introduction and conclusion, along with book recommendations and next steps. In fact, I even used the AI-generated transcripts of my course videos on these 5 pillars as a starting point for my writing.
The book fills an important gap in my brand ecosystem and it will serve both as a kind of business card to boost my credibility in this space and as a first step into my business and the other products and services that I offer.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
I'm a self-professed non-fiction addict, in particular in the area of personal development and business.
Some of my favourites include anything by Dorie Clark or Brené Brown; Oliver Burkeman's Four Thousand Weeks; Glennon Doyle's Untamed; Jon Acuff; Greg McKeown; and Laura Vanderkam.
Tell us about your writing process.
For blog posts, I'll usually have a theme in mind, and start with bullets. I'll develop these into a first draft, and then do some minimal editing. In the interest of creating a lot of content (even more so for social media), I tend to go by the principle of "done is better than perfect". For articles for external publications, of course, I'll do a lot more planning and editing.
I do love a whiteboard.
My latest book represents a consolidation of all my thinking and frameworks from my years in business, specifically, my '5 pillars of building a life and a business outside of the 9 to 5'. In fact, I first developed my course around these 5 pillars, with videos on each of the 4 steps of each pillar. I used Otter.ai to create the transcripts of these videos, which then become a very rough basis for the book.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
What advice would you give other writers?
Just write!
When I was younger, as many of you I imagine, I dreamed of being "a bestselling author". I had a vague idea of what this would entail – mainly, sitting at a beautiful old wooden desk, looking out from my lakehouse, with a pile of books to my name.
For years, I thought about, and talked about, wanting to write and be An Author. I even did endless creative writing courses as well as a diploma in magazine journalism. Did I write anything, though? Nope.
So my advice is: take that dusty old dream down from off the shelf, break it apart, examine it, keep the bits that you really want, get rid of the rest, and then start the real work of making it happen.
For me, this started with my personal blog; which evolved into my business blog; which sprouted out into published articles, online and offline; and, in recent years, has finally led to several books.
Write. It won't be perfect, but it does nobody any good sitting there in your drafts on your computer. Get something out there – and then keep writing.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
At the start of this journey, I assumed that the only way to go about this was to get a traditional publishing contract. This was especially the case as 10+ years ago self-publishing was really vanity publishing and not particularly well thought of.
Doing the due diligence of researching this, however, I found that self-publishing is an incredible opportunity. It allows you full control over the writing process – and, importantly, a greater chunk of the profits. Traditional publishers will also still expect you to pull your weight when it comes to marketing. Plus, once you've published one or more books and proven yourself, that may well be your ticket to a traditional publishing contract – if that's what you want.
Of course, you still need to approach it all at a very professional level, with high-quality cover design, editing, and so on. Unfortunately, the barriers to entry are so low now that almost anyone can write a book, and it becomes harder to stand out.
In my case, self-publishing has allowed me to get my books out exactly as I wanted them, on my own time scales, and I'm using them very intentionally to feed into my paid coaching programmes.
My ego still wants that traditional publishing deal, though…!
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I'm doing this interview with artificial intelligence top of mind, as chatGPT has exploded onto the scene and thrown the whole idea of writing and content creation into disarray. It's a fascinating, if worrying, time, as we all figure out how to navigate this new world.
In the few weeks since this particular tool launched, I've been experimenting with using it to brainstorm titles, social media posts and so on. I wouldn't want to use it to write a whole book… but, then, why not? Maybe AI authors will be hitting those bestseller lists soon enough??
Having said all this, there's also a counter-trend away from high tech towards more authentic and 'real' content, so I like to think that there will always be space for real human stories and physical books and bookstores.

The Oldest Word by Johnny Firic
“Plural identity is where respectful practice begins.”
Who are you? Just the one body and mind? Does your story begin with your birth? Or how far back would you go?
The Oldest Word spans ten thousand years and more than a dozen settings. Human contradictions are reconciled time and again, with tragedy and humor feeding off each other. From the twin mirror mazes of history and psychology, amid ever-shifting social and natural landscapes, enduring patterns emerge.
The story opens with the discovery of a mysterious box from the distant past. Its makers are five orphaned friends who hope to help civilizational knowledge survive disruptive climate change centuries in the future: the ending of the Ice Age. The bar is continuously raised as the box travels through space and time to the present day. Readers are tacitly encouraged to partner with the author and fill in the blanks by considering their metaphorical boxes, lessons for the future from their past.

Heat/Violence Level: Heat Level 4 – R Rated
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I made no effort to publish the two novels and about two dozen stories I'd written because I realized my debut effort must be something more ambitious and unconventional. I decided to try and write a story that doesn't have human protagonists at its heart, but instead traces an object through successive historical settings, thus indirectly portraying the universality of the human condition.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
One of the aims for The Oldest Word was to pay a tribute to all that I love. Many historical characters are based on either individuals or, more broadly, periods and themes I admire, for instance Stone Age Goddess worshippers or the syncretist thinkers of Al-Andalus. No one is truly admirable, a hero or heroine, and all my characters are a form of criticism.

In doing so, he’s made an enemy of the Pirate King, Jean Lafitte, and his associates, and now he must trudge through the marshes of the Mississippi to follow them, find his missing Webley and vest, and make it back in time to meet up with Jackson.
Just when Thomas thinks that he’s managed to find his missing gear, he learns that not only has Lafitte’s wastrel brother Pierre absconded with the gear, but he’s left Jean Lafitte ready to hang.
In a last ditch effort to find Pierre, Thomas must make a deal with the devil himself and bring the villainous, once-reputable now-Pirate Queen Lady Theodosia with him to locate Pierre and his weapons, and make sure the pirates don’t hang for their offenses.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
By creating two characters who start out as enemies, or "frenemies," I tried to set the stage for a dynamic and engaging story that explores the tension and conflict that comes with conflicting personalities. I wanted to showcase the push and pull of Drew and Camille’s love/hate relationship. Can they overcome their differences and work through their past struggles for a chance at real and lasting connection? Ultimately, by showcasing the power of love to overcome all obstacles, the result is a book that I hope hooks readers from beginning to end!
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I was inspired to write Drew as a confident, assertive, bad boy who exudes power and control, like many of the charismatic billionaires in my other books. Inspiration for Camille comes from the many fierce and independent women in my life (friends and family) that aren’t afraid to speak their minds. By drawing from my real-life, I hope I’ve created characters that feel authentic and relatable.

About Featured Book: The Last Harvest: A Secret History of Lucifera, Aliens, The Illuminati & the Fate of Humanity by Lucien Mars
What if your beliefs about reality were wrong?
The Secret History of Angels, Demons, Aliens and the militarized Culture of Fear in these final days.
Lucien Mars reveals the secret history of humanity contained in an ancient ME stone, or computer crystal, known as a “flaming stone” GirKu chronicle. Included are the galactic wars that led to the Fall described in the bible and why alien cultures such as the Anunnaki and others want to enslave Earth. For the first time the full history of Lucifer and the Fall is revealed, with a stunning conclusion affecting everyone as the fate of humanity hangs in the final balance. Uncover the mystery of the Dark Goddess, Lucifera, mother of the genetic re-creator known as Lucifer, who plays a leading role in this cosmic drama.
The book provides a blistering expose that explains how the Illuminati were genetically related to Lucifer and spawned the socio-fascist New World Order. The contents may shock your conceptions of reality as the final earth-shattering pieces of the cosmic puzzle are being instituted to depopulate the planet and recolonize it with a hybrid race of super humanoids, designed to serve and worship the new World Order.
How will you respond to Humanity’s Eviction Notice Engraved upon the Anonymous Georgia Guidestones?
The Illuminati Plan they have prepared for you is summarized on the monolithic Georgia Guidestones erected in Elbert County anonymously in 1979 in a faux Stonehenge fashion. Engraved on the stones are ten neo-fascist commandments, politically spun into Orwellian “instructions.” More importantly they unveil a fascist plan for eugenic extermination and global genocide.
The first commandment reveals all the rest: “Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.” Since the world’s population now stands at 7.8 billion, what shall be done with the expendable 7.3 billion? The alien answer seems the most obvious: First institute species integration, followed by militarized assimilation and final hybridization of 500,000,000 aliens over time and systematically exterminate the rest. That’s The Plan, carved in stone for all to see. So, the question remains: Are they humanity’s guide stones, or tombstones? Find out inside…

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I've wanted to be a writer ever since I can remember. When I was little, I was always writing short stories or creating made-up magazines and newspapers. At university, I contributed to the students' newspaper and had my first article published on the front page. And, over the years, I've done all sorts of creative writing courses as well as a diploma in magazine journalism.
I don't think I really understood what it meant, however, to "be a writer".
I pictured being a best-selling author, sitting there at my desk in my lake house with a pile of books to my name. It was an ideal, without any real consideration as to what it would take to get there. It turns out that one of the key elements of being a writer is writing!
So, ten years ago, I started a personal blog which became a foundation for my business website, and it continues to be a key medium for attracting an audience. I've also written two books, Leaving the Corporate 9 to 5 – a collection of stories, interviews with people who quit their 9 to 5 like me to explore another version of success – and, more recently, Outside of the 9 to 5 – a consolidation of all the practical strategies and frameworks that I've developed in that decade of exploring and working for myself.
For this book, I was both structured and strategic. I have a framework called the 5 pillars of building a life and business outside of the 9 to 5, and each of those pillars consists of 4 steps. This gave me a robust skeleton on which I could build out the meat of the book, adding an introduction and conclusion, along with book recommendations and next steps. In fact, I even used the AI-generated transcripts of my course videos on these 5 pillars as a starting point for my writing.
The book fills an important gap in my brand ecosystem and it will serve both as a kind of business card to boost my credibility in this space and as a first step into my business and the other products and services that I offer.

About the book:
Marriage is designed by God, it’s His idea, and it is for good.
Have you ever seen those marriages that seem to just have everything together? It’s clear that God is in the center of it, and that He put those people together. Well, this book is NOT full of those. God may have formed the unions, as only He can, but these are stories of REAL marriages, problems, and God-given solutions. One day, you’ll have that marriage every envies, but you’ll also have a story of God’s faithfulness to use that marriage for good.
We need all the help we can get, so I asked my author and married friends for their stories, seeking out the BEST advice they had for cultivating strong, enduring marriages centered on Christ. Some of these devos are from “equally yoked” marriages. Some are from believers married to non-believers, and some are from married couples who found God together along the way.
Made up of real stories from real people about a real God, these devotionals are based in Biblical truth and will encourage, edify, and inspire marriages of all ages and stages.

About the book:
Dalton
The thing about love…
It’s kind & beautiful, soft & hard, forgiving & emotional, but love can also be blind. Love can twist and turn you into someone unrecognizable.
That’s the way it was for Josie and me. She became my everything. I fell heart over mind, allowing her to take the only thing that I could call my own. The life I envisioned for us was blurred by secrets, hard to overcome. She made me question whether what we had was based on truth or a lie.
Joselyn
Dalton was an obstacle in the way of what I’d always shied away from, and the only way to reach my end was through him. So, I made a choice to get close to him, even when I shouldn’t have. We were never meant to be what we became. I didn’t intend for something forced to turn into something real. In the end, Dalton was so much more than just a means to an end. He held the key to everything, including my heart. It was his to have, to hold, to break, and to mend.
That’s the thing about love…
It can’t be forced. It just happens, and once it’s in motion, it’s impossible to stop.

About the Book
My books focus on positive influences, personal reinvention, and interests that complement these goals to help us reinvent ourselves and our careers. We must learn to “Be the Change” and “Reinvent Ourself Each Day.” We must “Reinvent the Future” and “Make Order out of Chaos.” These goals help us “Choose the Right Direction in Life” and “Find needed Inspiration.”
What is the difference between this book and other books for job seekers and networkers? A significant difference is how the conclusions and suggestions were developed. Working one-on-one with hundreds of people seeking jobs and career changes over many years is where the difference began. The answers and ideas came from those (The Human Factor) struggling to find a job or make the right informed career change.
The work was about coaching and teaching, including networking, resumes, LinkedIn, informational interviewing, finding jobs with technology, and all the things that go into a successful job search. Candidates often needed help understanding how LinkedIn could help them by boosting their confidence, creating focused self-promotion, and designing a profile that would be found by the algorithms that would show them where they fit. On LinkedIn, over 800 candidates added or improved their profiles with my assistance.

Visiting the library with my daughters and reading bedtime stories to them are some of my fondest “Mommy” memories. I often thought someday I'd write a children's book, and I did—more than once! Federico Exaggerated is the second picture book in the Henry and Friends series.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The idea for Federico Exaggerated began during one of my walks along an arroyo. I spotted at least two coveys of quails, if not three. In particular, I noticed one large male perched on a high rock. He was calling to the group trying mightily to get their attention, but the other quails were busy calling to each other and paid him no mind. It amused me and made me wonder what was going on. My imagination went to work, and Federico came to be.

My inspiration came from the conversations I wish my mom had been able to have with me. Knowing that if I had a daughter I would hope I could have them with her, no matter how real, how raw, how difficult.
Seeing how much young women struggle with self-esteem and self-worth, and also the increasing suicide rate, made me feel like I wanted to do something that might help even one of these beautiful young women feel a little better, a little more 'normal'. And remembering my own internal struggles growing up, knowing if someone had been able to tell me even a few of these things my life might've been a little easier.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
As an advertiser, when I first saw the anti-drug ad with the egg and the sizzling frying pan, and the words, "This is your brain on drugs… Any questions," it scared me. For my whole life, I depended on logical ads and logical persuasion. But this used emotional selling, something much more powerful than anything I knew how to do. Over more than 30 years of research and application, I developed a simple way to transform pitches and products into blockbusters of emotional persuasion, by applying "brain science." After a sold-out workshops with the U.S. Small Business Administration, I decided to publish BRAIN GLUE as a super-entertaining and unexpectedly valuable book that even the most logical among us could use to generate powerful emotion-triggering pitches and products, easier than we ever thought possible.

About the Book
There are two world’s taking place upon this Earth, there is one of plastic and there is one of truth. In one of those world’s, they don’t know about the existence of the other, but in the other one, you can see each one clear as day! The shades of gray are beginning to overpower and the separation of each one, is becoming overshadowed. There is a way to find light to illuminate your path.
I am 52 years old and fought with addiction for 36 of those years. Choices I made, led me to being incarcerated 15 years of my life and 14 years on paper (parole). I have given the Department of Corrections 29 years of my life, and this was with no end in sight. The UDC proclaimed that, statistically, I had a 99.1% chance of spending the rest of my life in prison. You might say that the odds were against me.
Whether your life is filled with addiction, depression, hopelessness, illness, sorrow, anger, hatred or violence-anything that is on the negative side of the Richter Scale-I guarantee you that your life can change if you do the same things that I did for my life, and that recipe is in this book.

About the Book
Valentine’s Day stinks–literally–after a shift at The Shrimp Shack. The romance holiday looms large for Mina Kitchen–a forty-something single without a boyfriend, and a catering disorder to beat the band. Everyone else is set: even her Swiffer-addicted neighbor Vito (the ex-leader of the Moils, from Bumville, NJ) has an SO–who knew?
And then there’s her BFF, Trixie: she’s got a steady boyfriend and a full time job–with OT, too. She’s even quit smoking! Except now she’s a jelly junkie.
What’s a girl to do? Set her sights on handsome Chef? Or dare a flirt with juicy James? Who you gonna call? GumBuster! Wait, that’s just one of Mina’s new part time jobs. Romance fills the air (or is that fried chicken?) but dates remain as elusive as the series of mysterious thefts that rattle the shop owners of Lancaster “Pee-Ay”. Can mild-mannered Mina land a job, a boyfriend and solve the mystery?

My intent is to tell you to “never give up,” never to be so overcome that you stop. We all have moments.

When twelve-year-old Ben’s parents don’t come home from work one day, he doesn’t know what to think—they’ve shown lack of responsibility before, but nothing like this. His six-year-old sister Lucy is more scared than he is and clings to him for support. Unwittingly fearful of the police and Child Protective Services, the children don’t want to end up in foster homes and will do anything to avoid being separated. Their journey—fraught with obstacles and people who may not have their best interests at heart—plays a significant role in building Ben’s character and eventually determining his fate.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
When I was a kid, I LOVED fantasy. Harry Potter, The Chronicles of Narnia, the Lord of the Rings, and even the Percy Jackson series (though I was a little older when that came out). But the one thing I never saw as a kid was a hero that looked like me. As an African American, I wanted kids to see heroes that looked like them among the myriad of eurocentric protagonists. I wanted BIPOC kids to know that they are more than just the sidekick. So I wrote a book that reflected the world I wanted to see. When people tell me they read my books, they tell me that they were inspired by the diversity represented in my books. And this inspires me to keep writing.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I find inspiration for characters everywhere! People that I know. People that I don’t know. People on the street. I love observing people. And I love studying their behavior; in a lot of ways, I find myself questioning why they do what they do.
In other ways, I feel as if my characters introduce themselves to me. For example, when writing the story, sometimes a character shows up that I didn’t know I needed until I began writing them.
Writing is a lot like excavating. You uncover it little by little until the whole thing reveals itself, and I feel the same way about my characters.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Most epic fantasy series describe the buildup or course of a grand war or cataclysm. They also tend to be set in worlds that are fairly static socially and technologically. I wanted to chronicle the social and technological aftermath of the 'great war.'
In the 'Empire' series, all common soldiers were awarded land and citizenship in lieu of coin – increasing the size of the middle class ten-fold overnight. Bicycles, introduced for military service, are now everywhere. Signal towers send messages thousands of miles in mere days. Printed books are exploding in popularity. All this is placing immense social stress on an already troubled nation.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The Point of View characters represent a cross section of the Empire.
Tia belongs to a wealthy mercantile family that hopes to secure their status by marrying her into the aristocracy. Towards this end, Tia underwent years of education at the University of Solace, becoming proficient in everything from languages to finance. Tia is the glue that binds the other main characters together.
Rebecca, Tia's female confident, maid, and personal minstrel, comes from the Empire's lower orders.
Sir Peter Cortez, Tia's knightly protector, is a bastard born knight weary of shedding blood on distant battlefields – but his prospects are scant.
Kyle, Tia's oafish carriage driver, is a former peasant with a knack for sorcery who got drafted into the imperial legions. He came out of the war with a head full of nightmares.

I feel calmness and confidence wash over me with every deep breath I take.
Following on from the success of his last book, John Walker Pattison threads the needle of invention once again – inciting a child-like sense of wonder in readers of all ages.
Pattison’s latest book, ‘Blenkinsop Blabbermouth and the Ghost of Broderick McCaffery’ is set to raise the stakes, as main characters Daniel and Papa find themselves navigating a whole new list of fun (and slightly mad) escapades; which will have youngsters ditching their consoles and desperate to find out what happens next to this intriguing and intrepid duo.
Daniel and his best friend, Papa, make their way into the cave of lost souls, where a crow picked at the little flesh that remained on a pile of bones.
Facing mystical creatures and an evil cut-throat pirate crew, including Captain Broderick McCaffery’s wife, Crazy Maisie’ who is at least 150 years old. They march on to the cave of eternal screams where Daniel faces the sly slithering snake, Sidero before discovering the ultimate dream, pirate treasure – then, a single bolt of zigging and zagging lightning jolted across the sky like one million volts of electricity screaming in anger! As they stood in fear, the delicate sound of thunder faded into the distance and a voice boomed out from the cave entrance……

Setting fire to my desires, he ignites a connection to a world I knew nothing about…until now.

Alex Wright, Laguna Beach real estate appraiser, discovers the second body while surfing at Salt Creek and feels the need to help uncover the mystery of why these homeless men were chosen for such a grisly death. A note from the killer suggests the homeless crisis in Orange County may be the killer’s motivation or maybe it’s just a symptom of a psychologically twisted pervert. Alex leads an all-in effort among the rich and powerful elite of Orange County to end homelessness. The action develops as both the FBI and the Newport Beach Police race to solve the case leading to a shocking conclusion.

About the Book
New Jersey, 1928.
The Cons – Roy, Urbane, and Victoria – made a living by separating fools from their money and rarely stayed in one place for too long. Keeping food in their bellies and a roof over their heads often meant hopping from one game to the next, barely staying ahead of the law or poverty and sometimes both.
That was until the day Roy – the Idea Man – thought he found a big score; one that would put the Cons on Easy Street. No more scraping by. No more hungry nights in the cold or picking pockets in desperation. Maybe even enough to get them out of this life for good. But things were never that simple.
When a tragic death brings the law snooping around, the Cons find themselves running afoul of cops, gangsters, and other powerful people – ones with secrets.
The Cons have gotten out of scrapes before, but their luck may soon run out and this particular game may end in luxury, a jail cell, or an early grave.

About the Book
Psycho/Pathogen defines this tumultuous moment in America and is a literary cartography of how we got here, which precedes the nation’s founding. This tapestry of racial, social, and environmental justice is described as “a diary of the COVID-19 pandemic with searing cultural and historic commentary.” Psycho/Pathogen is a collection of essays that was written while the world was in lockdown during the socially distanced 2020 US presidential election, a momentous year in American history with few parallels. Each essay carries its start date, the final piece, Camp Auschwitz, being January 6, 2021. “Rain predicted all of Trump’s moves and the failed coup,” observes the former president’s White House Director of Communications, Anthony Scaramucci, with President Vicente Fox, the 62nd President of Mexico, adding that Psycho/Pathogen boasts “farsighted political analysis.” The US House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack committed some eighteen months, millions of dollars, amassed thousands of documents, and called hundreds of witnesses to piece together the insurrection. Without any of that but with history as a guide, the author provided a virtual play-by-play in real time during 2020 that provides the book’s subtitle, “Intubating Democracy, A Cultural Diagnosis of the Virus of Hate”

About the Book
“This book offers a paradigm-shifting, creative approach to addressing some of the most acutely pressing questions facing the Jewish people today. It deserves to be widely read and meticulously applied.”
— ISAAC HERZOG, PRESIDENT OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL
Discover the Fastest and Most Effective Way to Inspire the Next Generation About Israel in the Digital Age — and Why it is an Essential Key To Securing the Future of the Jewish People
What if everyone’s social media feeds were exploding about Israel — but for all the right reasons?
What if your kids were able to walk around campus without having to hide their Jewish identity or support for Israel?
What if there was a way to tell Israel’s story that really resonated with young Jews and non-Jews alike?
Imagine how this would change your life, your community, your world!
In Ethical TribingTM: Connecting the Next Generation to Israel in the Digital Era, authors Joanna Landau and Michael Golden guide you through the actual steps needed to successfully counter one of the greatest threats facing the Jewish people today: a Next Generation that is less and less connected to both Israel and their own Jewish identity.

The story is told in a three part structure, beginning and ending with the personal journey of the titular character.
Much of Jarek’s youth revolved around making him fit for the throne, but one terrible day in adulthood finds him defeated, humiliated, and banned from the capital. He may only return upon complete surrender. Once home, he faces a trial by his commanders, though they are also fugitives by decree. Their land is a former province cut off from royal support, only kept free by the number of soldiers loyal to Jarek; but he swore to uphold the terms of his defeat, never to attack the capital.
As every illusion Jarek lived under is falling apart, he receives a visitor who tells him how the people of his land have suffered under his oblivious and unsustainable decision making. He faces a choice: drink himself to death while everything falls apart or change his land for the better. The latter might be impossible.
Just as he makes his choice, strangers arrive from a part of the world unknown to him, seeking a free and peaceful life, warning of a tyrant who pursues them. The story of their homeland is told in the second part. One man’s insecurity combined with his greed sees him betray people who believed they were his allies. He desires a great empire that he wishes his father had pursued, but this drives his transformation into something else–or, the persistent appearance of something he can never truly be.
But his former allies have no time to consider why he did this to them, not that they are to blame. Those who survive will each lead their people in a form of resistance suitable to their ways. Some will take to the battlefield, seeking justice, or vengeance. Some will search for a new home, challenged to leave no one behind, but they may flee into the waiting arms of a different danger. And some will do another thing altogether.
And the third part brings everything together. What is Jarek willing to do? Will anything ever be enough?
Targeted Age Group:: Adult
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
It felt important to write a redemption story for a character which shows his transformation once disconnected from imperialism. I am also happy to show the contrast between compassionate leaders who pursue a hospitable society versus insecure aspiring conquerors whose greed and ambitions lead them to commit atrocities.
While this book does work on its own, it also serves as a tangential sequel to "The Fate of Lenn". I provide all the context the reader needs to enjoy this book on its own.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Many characters are the legacy of world building that could reach back 15 years. Many are also the ancestors of characters I had earlier written, so I had to consider shared traits and habits, and the lore already spoken about them versus the facts I would present.

Baby by My Best Friend’s Daddy by Josie Hart
I like my men how I like my wine,
Tasty, full-bodied, and twice my age… like my best friend’s dad.
I’m a dedicated nurse, and the responsible one (usually).
So catching a ride after a night of drinking makes good sense.
Except when that ride is loaded silver fox Landon Leggatt.
And OH, did I ride.
But afterward, the jerk acted like nothing happened between us,
And left me wondering if the sparks were only in my head.
I thought I’d gotten over him, until he hurts his ankle,
And my best friend calls in a favor for my professional help.
Now I’m stuck looking after this brooding grump,
And still pissed that he could forget me so easily.
But one look has my heart beating faster than his Ferrari,
His hand stroking down my arm gives me full body chills,
And I’m back in his bed again.
This was wrong on so many levels, and now I’m at a crossroads:
Lose him,
Or lose my best friend.
And things just got much more complicated,
Because now I have to tell my BFF a half-sister is on the way…
Baby by my Best Friend’s Daddy is a deliciously steamy age gap standalone romance guaranteed to give you the ultimate tingles. No cheating and no cliffhangers, only a highly satisfying HEA for all.
Targeted Age Group:: Adult
Heat/Violence Level: Heat Level 4 – R Rated
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Can love survive when faced with pressure and disapproval from every direction? I wanted to write a story that explores the taboo of an age-gap romance, ultimately showing that you CAN find love in unexpected places.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Love doesn't always fit neatly into the box.
I wanted to craft characters that were from totally different worlds, colliding and finding love. Inspiration came from my real-life hunky neighbor, dad, and friend. A little tough on the exterior, but a total softie on the inside once you get to know him. I can always count on him to pick up our packages when we're away!

About Featured Book: So Shall The Tree Grow by Ninie Hammon
Free from 1/24/2023 through 1/31/2023
Family loyalties, deadly feuds, and international drug wars are brought to life in Ninie Hammon’s new intergenerational tale set in present-day Kentucky, four decades after the rise and fall of the Cornbread Mafia.
When Ruth Hannacker finds a “just-in-case-anything-happens-to-me” letter among her mother’s things after she was killed in a tornado, it opens a new chapter in the family’s decades-long, fraught, and often tragic story with Righteous Weed.
The letter from Jessica Monaghan Hannacker tells of the Tree House, a propane tank buried in the ground where Willie Ray Taggart stashed his marijuana money back in the heyday of the Cornbread Mafia. When Ruth finds the Tree House, she discovers $75,000 in cash and quart jars of Righteous Weed seed, the finest strain of marijuana ever developed.
Over the protests of 72-year-old Riley Hannacker, the only remaining living member of the original Cornbread Mafia, the family decides to grow an indoor crop, illegal in Kentucky, so they can patent the strain and get a license to grow in one of the 11 newly legal states. They plan to market it as a premium boutique cannabis, appealing to the nostalgia of the smokers’ first-time high.
But as so often happens with the best-laid plans, things quickly go awry. Jealousy, resentment, anger, greed, and deeply buried feelings from long gone wrongs resurface and wreak havoc with what is left of the family.
So Shall The Tree Grow is the fourth and final book in Ninie Hammon’s new Cornbread Mafia series, a fictional story inspired by the real Cornbread Mafia that sprang up in picturesque Marion County, Kentucky, and grew into the largest illegal marijuana-growing operation in U.S. history.

The Gospel Truth by Clinton Bezan
Where does a new believer turn to find truth? The Christian narrative today has morphed into a fluid and philosophical commentary centered around social injustices and motivational messages that rarely align with the gospel that Jesus preached. Sin is ignored and repentance is avoided by those who over exaggerate grace and diminish the holiness of God by suggesting he accepts us whether we are faithful to him or not. In a knee jerk response to the strict religious shackles of the early church many of today’s preachers bask in the hyper-sensitivity that accompanies the “cancel culture” that proclaims it will not be judged. In The Gospel Truth, Bezan has endeavored to dissect prominent Christian religious denominations in order to expose their internal theologies and scrutinize the details of their doctrine under the litmus test of scripture. He offers legitimate discernment to differentiate between truth and almost truth and conveys an intelligible recognition of the genuine vs the counterfeit in a detailed and comprehensive assessment that leaves the reader judiciously satisfied. We have an opportunity in this life to sincerely contemplate the things of God. We are provided with a window in time to question the hidden mysteries of scripture and truly discover who God is. The good news is that God has provided a path to salvation through Jesus Christ and the gospel contains the truths that solve the mysteries that have eluded men for millennia.

About Featured Book: Uprooted: Family Trauma, Unknown Origins, and the Secretive History of Artificial Insemination by Peter J. Boni
How a journey of self-discovery unearthed the scandalous evolution of artificial insemination
By his forties, Peter J. Boni was an accomplished CEO, with a specialty in navigating high-tech companies out of hot water. Just before his fiftieth birthday, Peter’s seventy-five-year-old mother unveiled a bombshell: His deceased father was not his biological father. Peter was conceived in 1945 via an anonymous sperm donor. The emotional upheaval upon learning that he was “misattributed” rekindled traumas long past and fueled his relentless research to find his genealogy. Over two decades, he gained an encyclopedic knowledge of the scientific, legal, and sociological history of reproductive technology as well as its practices, advances, and consequences. Through twenty-first century DNA analysis, Peter finally quenched his thirst for his origin.
In Uprooted, Peter J. Boni intimately shares his personal odyssey and acquired expertise to spotlight the free market methods of gamete distribution that conceives dozens, sometimes hundreds, of unknowing half-siblings from a single donor. This thought-provoking book reveals the inner workings—and secrets—of the multibillion-dollar fertility industry, resulting in a richly detailed account of an ethical aspect of reproductive science that, until now, has not been so thoroughly explored.

About the book:
They say the third time’s lucky. And Angus believes his success lies in the colonies. With an offer of employment, he sails the Atlantic for the third time. What could go wrong?
In 1763, Angus followed his heroes, Mason and Dixon, to Pennsylvania for their groundbreaking survey. Five years later, he was back in London with no prospects. Now, Angus returns to the colonies. But this time will be different. Joel Bailey has offered him a surveying position. His friend, Liam, is there. And a beautiful Native lass is there. Angus thinks he’s finally on his way to making a life for himself.
But there’s an undercurrent of danger running through the colonies. Smuggling, protests, and secret organizations are the norm. New taxes and restrictions are being imposed. And people are taking sides against each other.
Angus doesn’t want to choose sides. But when a dead body is delivered to his employer’s door, what choice does he have?

Back to GOD, Away from Religion by Gopi Menon
Have you ever Searched for the Truth about Life, about God, and Happiness? And did Religion ever help you find that truth? If not, you may finally get your answer in this book, “Back to GOD, Away from Religion”!
The book itself describes one man’s soul-searching, Inner Journey for the Truth about Life, God, Happiness and Religion.
After more than six decades of fervent seeking, the author finally realized this great truth:
“All religions are Man-Made, and not God-Ordained! And Since Man is not perfect, ALL religions are Flawed.”
Therefore, religion is NOT the best way to God or to Life. The best way to a happy, fulfilled life is found by looking within yourself and not inside ancient books!
(NOTE: Last year, this book won the Bronze Medal in the 2021 Global Book Awards in the Faith & Spirituality category. This year, it was an Awards Finalist in the 2022 Readers Favorite Awards Contest in the Religion/Philosophy Category.)
Targeted Age Group:: Ages 21 to 65

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Even as a child at home as well as in school, I had lots of unanswered questions about God, Religion and the Hereafter. Questions such as: "Is this world really a place of punishment?" "Why do evil people seem to prosper while the good and decent people seem to suffer?" " Is there really a heaven or hell? If so, why?" "Why do so few people seem to be happy? "Why are there so many Gods?" Etc. Etc.
I was never satisfied with the run-of-the-mill explanations given by my parents or teachers because these were just trite sayings and platitudes that had been recycled for hundreds of years! Explanations such as "It is our Karma, it is God testing us, we did not pray enough," etc. etc.
So I spent decades in trying to come up with logical answers to my questions by reading books, attending seminars, and most of all by self-introspection.
When I thought I had some answers I felt I had to tell the world my findings as books. My first book was Daily Happy Living, followed by The GOD Soliloquy and the latest is Back to GOD, Away from Religion.
That is my inspiration to write this book too – to let the world see that there is another perspective or better, happier view of life. This view though seemingly contrarian, is much more rational and practical than the ideas we have been brainwashed with for centuries by religion and the so-called holy books!

Targeted Age Group:: 18-65
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I began writing as therapy and wanted to see someone like myself, with autoimmune disorders, represented in fiction–specifically romantic fiction. I'm an audiobook narrator and I've audition for hundreds of novels over the years. I realized I wasn't seeing anyone like myself in fiction. And as I reader I was having a difficult enough time finding books with representation in them, let alone someone with autoimmune disorders. I also wanted to write a novel to help women with chronic disorders, who may have low self-esteem with their condition like myself, see that they are beautiful and worthy of love. I have been shocked at the international response and the reviews from women with autoimmune disorders who are excited to see themselves represented in the romance genre. Readers are enjoying the disability and mental health representation in the novel and relating to the main character's struggles. And I feel truly blessed!!!
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Christine, the MFC, is a very personal character. She battles several rare autoimmune disorders. Her health struggles and experiences are based on my own. While I am not the main character, this aspect is very much built on an extremely vulnerable aspect of my life. It was my intention to bring a character to romance that did struggle with health conditions and continued to struggle with them. There is no magic cure and they don't just go away. I feel very strongly that this representation needs to be seen in fiction, especially romance. I have yet to find a romance book with a main character like myself that I can relate to and so I wanted to write one. I hope you can celebrate Christine's victories along with her, even if you don't have health disorders.
Lola, the MFC's best friend, is inspired by my best friend in real life. The book is dedicated to "my Lola." The theme of unconditional love is woven throughout this book and is very much centered around their relationship. If not for this unconditional love, the MFC would not be able to take this trip or open up her heart.
I can't say much about the MMC without giving much away. As an audiobook narrator, I pulled a lot of inspiration for his backstory from some of my personal experiences.

About the book:
She’s his enemy and his obsession.
For six months, I’ve watched every move she made.
Every curve of her body.
Every breath she took.
She was gorgeous and innocent…
…until I made her my captive.
It started as a revenge ploy,
but every forbidden touch makes me crave her more.
Her sinful body. Her venomous tongue.
The way my arousal jumps every time she resists her fate.
She’s learning quickly that her defiance will not go unpunished.
That I will be obeyed.
And I’m enjoying every moment of every lesson I teach her…
Unfortunately, even her obedience can’t save her now.
Because her hand in marriage was promised to my twin,
A man as evil and ruthless as her own father.
But he doesn’t want her like I do,
And our enemies have other plans.
So when a deadly attack makes me the new boss of the Malikov Bratva,
I’m left with a crippling decision to make.
Marry the princess and keep my possession…
…or protect my family by killing her.

Forgotten Storm by A.R. Vagnetti
The Revised and Expanded Edition
How many years did I drag my ass from one small town to another, singing and bartending to make ends meet? I’ve lost count. As a matter of fact, I lost every memory of my life before the age of seventeen. And that’s not even the weirdest part. At night, in my dreams, I’m guided by a drop-dead gorgeous, panty-wetting fantasy who makes my body sing and claims to be my Guardian.
When the stunning man miraculously shows up on my doorstep, I don’t know whether to jump his bones or shoot him in the head. But the second his lips touched mine; it triggered an explosion of suppressed memories I was better off not knowing. And the things that go bump in the night? Yeah, those are real, and apparently, I’m some prophesied bringer of peace to all the monsters.
Not sure what dickwad wrote that thing, but this girl can’t even get through her day without coffee. How the hell does Mr. Tall Dark And Handsome expect me to face off with my greatest fear and embrace my so-called destiny?
We are so screwed.

About Featured Book: Saving Sophie by Debbie Schrack
Seventeen-year-old Gabe Hunter knows he has a purpose in life. He has always strived to be the “best of the best,” but lately nothing has gone his way. Gabe was devastated six months earlier when his half-brother Josh had a drunk driving accident that killed four members of a family and left a sixteen-year-old girl named Sophie an orphan. Josh went to prison and Gabe struggles to forgive him because how can he forgive the unforgivable? When Gabe reluctantly agrees to do math tutoring for his senior service project, he discovers that the girl he will be tutoring is also named Sophie. But in a town of eighty thousand people, what are the odds it will be the same person? Astronomical, Gabe figures.
Gabe soon discovers, though, that it is the same Sophie. A former National Merit Scholar finalist, Sophie had a severe brain injury in the accident. She has seizures, amnesia, and can barely read or write. When he meets her, Gabe realizes what his purpose in life must be—to help Sophie and make amends for his brother. His plan is to spend the rest of the school year tutoring Sophie, then say goodbye and go quietly off to college without ever telling her that his brother was the one who killed her family. What Gabe doesn’t count on is falling in love.

The main character is an unlikely prophet, not unlike many examples where God has used children in remarkable ways. From Joseph’s early dreams to David’s courageous battle with Goliath and Jesus’ selection of a young man named John, likely not more than a teenager himself, to be one of his closest Disciples.

Mythion: Human Transformation by Jason Davis
When Gavin finds himself in a hospital with no memory of how he got there, he soon finds himself being escorted into an RPG psychotherapeutic marvel to heal his immuno-compromised body as well as to treat emotional traumas preventing him from becoming a truly powerful and effective person.
That RPG marvel takes place in a quantum-created alternate reality called Xenxu, a lush, immersive utopia with its own AI citizens, laws, and culture, where humans are the guests. Along his journey, he will be assisted by several mentors, both AI and human, and even future versions of himself. A powerful feminine alien presence also takes a primary role in his unfolding.
As Gavin earns both mental and physical upgrades, he undergoes superhero-like exercises, earning many achievements in the game world and unlocking new abilities in the real world. But he soon realizes something dark is happening in the background when a shadowy military organization begins stalking him.
Gavin finds himself at the center of a mystery bigger than he could have ever imagined. One thing is for certain: he’s being groomed for something big, and when alternate realities begin bleeding into the real world, he alone may hold the key to saving humanity.
Armed with incredible, mind-bending powers, his destiny will culminate in a final mission that is out of this world.
A new age science fiction book with an epic storyline, Mythion blends multiple genres. It’s near future social fiction, a mystery, a thriller, and has an epic love story. With many layers to it, this is a thinking person’s scifi but also a tale that action cravers will enjoy.

Dani was a natural in school. Her only distraction was an absent mother and her suicidal brother, whom she felt overly protective. Maybe because she assumed the role when her mother abandoned them, or perhaps it was just her nurturing way.
She worked hard after graduating, joining the military to expedite her acceptance and training in the Institute, which almost guaranteed her entrance into the New Earth Corps. This is where she would set her sights on a once-in-a-lifetime mission to Tau Ceti e, the nearest Earth-like planet, where she would become the first woman explorer in deep space.
The mission was only possible once every sixty years because of the strange elongated elliptical orbit of Tau Ceti e, which made it impossible to reach more than once in a person’s lifetime. However, modern technology did allow humankind to get to the edge of the planet’s orbit every sixty years for approximately three months. Dani aspired to travel this great distance to carry out this dangerous and previously failed mission. Unfortunately, the last mission team was never heard from after a scouting trip.
Her job was a simple one. Release scientific orbital satellites around Tau Ceti e to gather important information for team two, which would form a landing and exploration party.
Within minutes of releasing the second satellite, something went horribly wrong. Dani would find herself scrambling for the emergency escape pod to flee a dying ship. Within minutes she would find herself on an alien planet with two weeks of supplies, two days of oxygen, injured, and her rescue nearly two months away.
Losing Dani Strumm is a compelling explorative story of self-discovery. It is a surprising tale of forgiveness and redemption. It’s about love, luck, fate, and a complex woman who discovers her lifelong dream is not what she thought it to be.

About Featured Book: Her Royal Treatment by Kai Lesy
It’s like being cherished. Worshipped and unbelievably fulfilled, by four of the most beautiful men I’d ever laid eyes on. All at the same time.
The King ordered me to lock down.
In my country, his word is final – especially for the Princess.
I’m both infuriated and screwed!
My anger transforms into curiosity when my eyes fall on my protectors.
Four ex-military mercenaries. Brothers by war.
Now they’re laying down the law.
Ordering me to bunker down with them,
In a remote mansion in the mountains.
And as the snows continue to fall…
Danger lurks around every corner,
My survival depends upon complete cooperation.
But I’ve never been one to take orders.
Yet as I’m faced with my own budding attraction for exactly the type of men I push away from,
And the obvious backlash that would come from such a scandalous affair…
I find myself saying one thing: Screw it. Now I get to call the shots.

About the Book
The byproduct of years of practice in the medical field, Ending the Eczema Epidemic was written by Ana-Maria Temple, MD, and John Temple, MD, to expose the factors involved in treating eczema, allergies, and chronic diseases. Contrary to what one might expect, their solutions focus on gut healing through nutrition, removing environmental toxins, and restoring gut and skin microbiomes. In fact, their anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle recommendations would likely improve the lives of anyone willing to try them.
While practicing traditional Western medicine, Ana-Maria and John found themselves facing a troubling diagnosis for their children. Ana-Maria faced the problem head-on. Through relentless resolve, she changed her family’s trajectory for the better. Though there were conflicts and challenges in transitioning to a holistic approach to healthy habits and eating, the resultant wellness was well worth it.
In Ending the Eczema Epidemic, the Temples share insights from their personal journey, and from the times they’ve treated others using their hard-earned wisdom. Everyone knows it’s important to watch what you eat, but for many, this practice is only skin-deep. It’s time to face the truth and work our way toward a holistic future.

I stay calm in frustrating situations.
Music is Emma Grant’s world. Smuggling, blackmail, and murder are her family’s.
Emma has a deep love of music and has reached international acclaim for her sound engineering. She has the opportunity of a lifetime knocking on her door. A chance to inherit the 100-year-old recording studio owned by her family. But nothing good has ever reached her without a catch.
Her grandfather Richard offers her a deal that will change her life forever. After she runs the studio for half a decade, she will have to join Richard’s private business for several months.
Richard is a man who has the city at his fingertips. His uncanny aura as a flourishing tycoon has everyone’s attention. But what remains a mystery is the criminal activities he conceals under the disguise of being a reputable businessman.
Emma quickly agrees to Richard’s offer, but after five years, times change, and so do her priorities. At 29, Emma unlocks her potential as an audio engineer, rewarded with all the success in the world. With her life dedicated to her music passion, she has little interest in joining Richard’s secret criminal empire – even for several months.
Given her dedication to work and juggling her relationship with a handsome rock star, Emma ignores her Grandfather’s demands.
Emma’s impulsive and naïve decision pushes her into a world with no happy endings. Her refusal to give in pushes Richard to deploy his plan, threatening her loved ones.
With no means to escape, Emma gives in, joining the infamous syndicate run by her grandfather. An organization that is all about jewel smuggling, murder, and crimes.
What follows is a suspenseful tale that will take you through the darkness of blackmailing and kidnapping. With unexpected twists and turns, the reader is immersed in Emma Grant’s world and her struggle to free herself from her grandfather’s chains.
A Smuggler’s Last Song is a fast-paced, compelling thriller. With murder, mystery, family, and betrayal, this book has everything you can ask for. Plus a little fun and romance.
Targeted Age Group:: 18-108
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
After researching my family and the time period they lived, I found it was an easy era to be a smuggler from one continent to the next. I combined my love of music with the story to create multi-layered characters. The pull of good vs evil is always too much to resist.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
As with most of my female main characters, Emma Grant is based on a part of me. This woman has my rebellious personality and a love of music and men. Needing evil characters, I drew from the closeness of my family and mixed it with criminals. Emma's boyfriend, Cameron, is my typical English heartthrob. I love to include a British bloke in my stories.

Hot. Rich. Grumpy. Bossy. Arrogant.

I've always loved action/adventure and espionage novels. The Project Series, beginning with White Jade, combines my personal experience of the world, my experience in the Marines, and my love of mystery and myth. White Jade uses all of these.

The Project team introduced in White Jade features men and women with many skills and mutual respect. I wanted to create people with a mix of abilities and outlook that would go beyond the usual "superhero" stereotype.

Have you told someone you appreciate them today? What were you thankful for? Use today’s positive affirmation to keep you on track for success:
I meditate easily without resistance or anxiety.
It’s been four years since that earth shattering one-night stand with my ex.
I never expected to be a mom to his baby girl now.
Or that he’d ever actually meet her.
I kept our daughter a secret from the famous Tyson Dallas,
Because living in the spotlight only brings drama.
Plus, that jerk never bothered to call me once.
But when I find him sitting in my small town’s diner,
My breath catches and heat pools between my legs,
The moment his hazel eyes lock onto mine.
Sneaking away in his truck to make out behind the bleachers has me seeing stars.
And it’s like high school when we couldn’t keep our hands to ourselves.
I could stay in this blissful fantasy forever,
Until he recognizes his eyes and signature dimple,
On our daughter’s face.
My secret is out and he’s pissed.
But, I’ll do whatever it takes to make ‘us’ a family.
Because the alternative is losing him, and my daughter, for good.

“A beautifully written literary novel . . . Sarno’s use of metaphors and lush language draws readers into the story . . . [who] may shed a tear or two before the final page is turned.”
—BlueInk, Starred Review
Johanna, an artist, and Matt, a music critic, couldn’t be more different, but by a simple twist of fate, she plucks him from a crowd at a Dylan concert. What follows is a heady and intense relationship buffeted by the usual suspects that gently rocked the ‘80s. Matt’s lessons in art—as well as life—at the hands of Johanna, drive the novel into pockets of feminism and quiet revolution. All of this is tempered by deeply held traumatic secrets that torque their intimacy.
Yet it’s Revere—and not Boston—that remains one of the underlying attractions in “Visions of Johanna”. This north shore backdrop brings Matt into full focus—a child in a city of recent immigrants, life by the ocean, the bilious flavor of the Mob are just some of the elements rendered in skillful detail. Johanna, a renegade from Wisconsin—freewheeling and hyper-energized—draws Matt out of his comfort zone and into her world.
A meditation on art and unrest, “Visions of Johanna” celebrates life, love, memory and the undying power of the deep connections that sustain us. The novel follows Johanna and Matt as they pursue their dreams to paint and to write. But burdening problems collide with these artistic desires and other forces conspire against them. Ultimately, the two are done in by their inability to share aspects of their past they believe they must hide from.
The novel travels through time and social unrest to the final moment hinted at in the prologue. Within this book’s pages, tragedies haunt, acts of moral goodness manifest themselves, and benevolence reigns with a finality that absolves all.
“A beautifully intimate romance that doesn’t shy away from challenging topics.”
—Publishers Weekly’s BookLife
“This would be a perfect book club book. With questions that address the concepts of faith and hope to the efforts put towards the women’s movement, there is a lot that can be talked about…Detailed, wonderfully written, and thought-provoking, ‘Visions of Johanna’ will have readers thinking long after they put the book down.”
— Kristi Elizabeth, Manhattan Book Review
Targeted Age Group:: Adult
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I read a novel about a younger man and an older female artist and it hadn't rung true. Though written by a well-established author, it seemed to me to be about a "pretend" artist. Of course, I could be dead wrong. Other folks were engaged and enjoyed it. But—with a certain level of arrogance—I thought, I knew a talented and brave artist and might be able to share the experience of what that artistic life was like more effectively.
Then I thought, "Why hadn't that relationship worked out?"
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Independent of the above inspirations and character, over the years, I had tried several times to write a story about a dear friend who tragically lost her life while only sixteen-years-old. And I eventually finished two short stories based on her. She had been hit by a drunk driver, abandoned on the side of the road, and found dead by her older sister who went out looking for her after she hadn't returned home from a trip to the neighborhood convenience store. I was numb for weeks and much longer. Years later, only two main images of my friend remained: one of her dressed in a stylish suede leather fringe jacket of the era with her sparkling brown eyes and luminous smile on the Friday she left for that weekend trip to Maine—the one I saw. And the other: her lying by the side of the road, alone, waiting for her sister to find her—the one I only imagined, yet could never rid myself of.
I didn't know how to deal with that pain. There were really no such things as a grief counselors in "those days" and a man (even though I was only sixteen myself)—especially in my neighborhood—was expected to suck it up. It wasn't until I started writing the novel that I understood that these events might be related. That perhaps one of the reasons my relationship with the artist didn't work out had something to do with this traumatic event.
Finally I wondered, "Why is music so damn important to you?"

Her obsession stands before her, not as an extinct Australopithecus, but as a living chuchunya…an abominable snow monster who promises a lifetime of devotion in hiding…
Dr. Vera Thompson
I am one reindeer sleigh ride away from academic notoriety and the corpse excavation which will catapult my career from junior anthropology fellow to tenured professor. Crossing the Siberian tundra is not for the faint of heart but with modern technology like a GPS, cell phone signal, and all-climate winter gear, I’ll reach the suspected Australopithecus body unearthed by the melting permafrost. One more day of dodging methane gas pockets under the ice and my life will change forever…
Artyom
The hairless ones swarmed around my brother’s body like flies from the southern land. Tradition dictates his next of kin perform his last rites, so I follow the erratic driving of the hairless ones from a foreign land. If these invaders discover my chuchunya clan, I fear we are too few to defend our territory under the ice. I don’t understand why the sled driver throws his passenger into a ground popper, but the cruel deed activates my coupling (dushevnayasvyaz) instincts to heat my body to an inferno…the first sign of a soul bond…
Stuck between loyalty to his clan’s secrecy and his biology, will Artyom trade injured Vera for Denis’s body? Will Vera choose modern conveniences in Ohio or stay in Siberia with the chuchunya who promises to cherish her? In such an unforgiving landscape, will Artyom prove his dushevnayasvyaz by pushing her toward an easier life, even if her leaving breaks both their hearts?

With questions that address the concepts of faith and hope to the efforts put towards the women’s movement, there is a lot that can be talked about…Detailed, wonderfully written, and thought-provoking, 'Visions of Johanna' will have readers thinking long after they put the book down.”

It begins with the torture of a covert agent and quickly turns into something much more deadly. An English village is poisoned by radioactive cobalt, then a factory fire spreads a radioactive cloud. ISIS terrorists have set their sights on the capital of England and will not stop until their plan is carried out or until every last one of them is dead. Detective Strange and his team are determined to make sure it’s the second one.
But things get complicated when the evil Sheik Maulan captures Strange’s girlfriend. Can he save her? Can he protect his team from the terrorists, who are intent on inflicting as much damage as possible? Can he stop the Sheik from destroying London?

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
After watching the British film "Four Lions" I wondered why terrorists always seem somewhat inept. What would happen if terrorists included experts in their deadly team? Would the authorities be able to cope? I considered a range of deadly scenarios, and concluded that it would be all too easy to wreak serious carnage. This novel is a "what if?" exploration of the terror theme.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
My main character is based on a Special Branch officer I once knew. His love interest is based on glamorous women presenters I met in the TV industry. I lived for a year in Saudi Arabia and the Sheikh is based on someone unpleasant I encountered there.

A businessman pens a historical novel set in the mysterious land of ancient Thrace, then re-examines it, convinced the book contains clues to help him resolve his troubled past. An epic tale of adventure, battles, and political intrigues—but also of self-discovery, transformation, and personal healing—Cracking of the Mask brings together two worlds and two eras that, at first glance, have little in common.

About the Book
Aubergine has her eyes fixed on the stars—the brightest one is her former boy next door.
For Aubergine, her high-fashion internship is the chance of a lifetime. It brings her back to the city she loves, gives her a break from her mom, and most importantly it sets the stage for her to reconnect with her secret crush and former boy-next-door, Fulton.
Upon arriving, she quickly discovers love isn’t in the air in New York City. Rather than having the reunion she’d been daydreaming of, she returns to find Fulton seemingly has moved on from the special bond they’d forged on the ranch in Montana with a new life and more annoyingly—a new girl.
Desperate for any distraction, she pours her heart into her work. Unending hours and one disastrous store opening later, she’s still unable to forget about her unrequited feelings for her former boy-next-door and she finds herself depending on the attention of a handsome new friend.
Now Aubergine must make a choice . . . Does she risk their friendship by confessing her love for Fulton or leave him behind for an adventure with a handsome new guy?

About the book:
It is hard to over emphasize the value of early intervention for children on the spectrum. Although written in a grandparent’s voice, the book provides directions for parents and care givers who want to support the child. The child’s future cannot wait for an official diagnosis. Our diagnosis did not arrive until over a year after we had begun early intervention. I believe you should start as soon as you begin having concerns about what you are experiencing with the child. If the child is not on the spectrum, you have still begun good practices to support the child. The book is a compilation of live links and articles to get you started on your journey. For the child’s sake, you cannot afford to be behind on knowledge. Early intervention.
When it came to learning and understanding what autism is and is not, and how to appropriately support our child; we had to dig out every word on our own. Where do we go? Where do I find this? How do I do that? What does stimming mean?
After six years with a lovely grandson on the spectrum, I decided families needed an early intervention a roadmap. With luck, someone smarter than me will write a better one.
The links embedded in the book are live so you can go directly to the resources or articles I have cited.
I am not a therapist or clinician, but I have spent years accumulating information to help my grandson. Information I wish I had had the day he was diagnosed.

This story takes the reader back to 11th Century England after the Norman invasion as the sequel to “Owerd the Briton”. Owerd, a lowly rural knight, is trying to find his way. Can he do what he believes to be right amidst ongoing oppression and under the watchful eyes of a potentially merciless king? Enemies build round him even as he gains the king’s favour and he is given a task well beyond his expectation or experience. Both he and his lady love (or is that “loves”?) live under constant threat.
A great literary escape from the modern world!
Targeted Age Group:: Adult
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The original story ("Owerd the Briton") became over-long and required an ending that afterwards seemed rather abrupt. The story of Owerd and his struggles demanded a sequel – this is it, although the tale may yet continue as the writing is possibly as enjoyable as I hope is the reading.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The hero and his ladies are figments of the author's imagination based upon what young men and women may have thought and experienced back in 11th Century England. They are surrounded as far as possible by real people who then existed and lived within actual events of the time. Necessarily, some of those 'real' people are given characters with either good or evil natures to suit the demands of fiction.

About Featured Book: Sum and Substance: Comprehending Yourself, Your Universe and Your World by William L. Martin
Sum and Substance leads you on a personal journey to a richer comprehension of your life; our universe, as revealed by science; and civilization, from the first humans to modern times. Richly illustrated and using language understandable by anyone who will try, the book offers the ambitious hope that if you spend eight hours reading it, you may learn more than in any other eight hours of your life.
The book first identifies where each of us fits in the universe, the use of the scientific method as the best way to understand reality, and a concise timeline of events beginning with the Big Bang. Next, we describe the path from the Big Bang to the appearance of modern humans. Third, we trace human history from the beginning to the present. Finally, we conclude by offering conjectures about the meaning of life and the possible futures of our beautiful planet Earth.
Because of their significance, separate chapters are dedicated to warfare; systems of belief, including the major religions and humanism; and environmental concerns. We analyze how great ideas come to fruition, and propose that seven specific ideas, each originating in a single mind, have great impact on everyone. We speculate about which technologies might have the greatest future impact.
Each chapter begins with two relevant quotes from great minds, and one chapter is dedicated to giving an overview of the book entirely in the words of others. These could trigger hours of your own thought, such as “Why is there something and not nothing?” (Leibniz) and “What is the use of a house if you haven’t got a tolerable planet to put it on?” (Thoreau)
The tone is non-judgmental and suggests that the beginning of charity is knowing that we all experience reality individually. We recognize that everyone is unique and is the achievement of four billion years of evolution of life on Earth. The goal is not to tell you what to think, but to give you a foundation for comprehending everything you experience. The book shares how others have defined the meaning of their lives, and suggests that you can choose your own unique purpose.

Seated beside the window, scribbling secretly under the desk, as a naive dreamer girl, lost in her own little world, my Afghan dream. And the timeframe ceases in March 2022, as I stared at the glooming window to my left, wondering what just happened to me, to her, to him, to them, to us…But why I had it almost, if it was bound to square one… and how could I stop the untamed train that left us a trainwreck, a reclused wanderer, senseless ruminations, my shrouded motherland, and a million broken dreams.
It's a six-year timeline, a portion of my life that will live on through these pages. I tried to include the ones I thought would fit best.

The Secret of Heaven by Felix Alexander
A lost Bible dating back to the time of Christ, and written by one of his disciples, is at the center of the murder of disgraced investment banker, Lazzaro de Medici. Wanted for questioning in connection to the murder, Professor of Biblical Studies, Aiden Leonardo races against the clock to find the lost Bible, while flying from the F.B.I., the Chicago PD, and a secret organization intent on destroying the ancient relic and tying up loose ends.
With only an encrypted letter and the help of his fiance, Miriam, and their close friend Nagi, Aiden utilizes his extensive knowledge of scripture to unravel the clues and find the secret of heaven, lest it be lost to forever.
Targeted Age Group:: Adult
Heat/Violence Level: Heat Level 3 – PG-13
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
A series of articles about the Turkish government seeking to prevent an illegal arms deal that led to the discovery of a lost Bible dating back to the time of Christ is what inspired this book.
It was purportedly written by a disciple of Christ and correlated the Islamic view of Jesus as a prophet and not a deity.
The Catholic Church requested an opportunity to review it.
The Turkish government shipped it to Rome with a police escort, due to being valued at over $23 million Euro.
Shortly thereafter, the Pope stepped down from his position, citing medical reasons.
An Islamic cleric criticized the move given that in 2,000 years no pope had ever stepped down for such reasons, since the Catholic Church has rituals in place for when popes die in office.
When he postulated that the real reason the Pope stepped down was because he had read the lost Bible and in good conscience could no longer lead a Church based on a lie, the debate about Christ's divinity and Jesus' humanity had been reignited.
I knew then that there was a novel waiting to be written.
At present, book 3 (The Secret of God's Banker) is in the works and centers on other controversies involving the Catholic Church and an ancient artifact that will once again shake the foundations of modern religion.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The characters emerged as the story came to life. Each plays an integral role in moving the story forward, and I was pleasantly surprised that many fans fell in love with a supporting character, Nagi (an eccentric cryptographer and religious historian) that they often DM'd me: "When's book 2 coming out? I need my Nagi fix!"

My writing has always been inspired by my favorite thriller, humor, and suspense authors. I'm also inspired by television shows like Nova and Through the Wormhole. I love the Science Channel, always have. I also love fiction that takes existing technology or theory and puts a speculative spin on it, or as in this case, a story that puts a speculative spin on something common, like a sneeze.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I've worked in an office for a few years now and I've seen many different personality types come through, including a few abusive managers that I would've loved to whack with a stapler. And I've spent more than enough time enduring boring day-to-day routines. So I thought, why not introduce a speculative element into the mix?

I hope your day is filled with wonderful experiences. Today’s positive affirmation can help:
I focus on the details of the present moment.
Vampires and Villains by Elizabeth Pantley
Paige and her joyful Aunt Glo have learned that the home they inherited comes with a magical library. They put together a book club group of loveable kooks to explore the magic. They’ve recovered from their first book journey, and they all agree on their next book which takes place on a cruise ship bound for Hawaii. Problem is, they were so excited about the cruising idea that they didn’t read the entire blurb on the back of the book. (“It was entirely too long,” explains Zell.) Once on the ship, they meet a charming and likeable man who blends seamlessly into their motley group. Too bad they don’t know why he’s so scarce during the day but shows up to join them every evening for dinner, drinks, and a show. When a dead body shows up on board, their new friend is labeled a suspect. Can they help him out by finding the real murderer? Or is he the real murderer? The book club will need to solve the case to get off the ship, out of the book, and back to their home.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I love to cruise. I've been on many, starting with the first one way-back-when on my honeymoon. But I haven't been on a cruise for almost three years, and I really miss it. So what's a writer to do? Take a cruise vicariously through her characters! Yep, the book club is taking a Hawaiian cruise in Vampires and Villains!
If you've ever taken a cruise, their journey will feel familiar to you. If you've ever been on a Princess cruise ship you might find this boat familiar, since Princess is my favorite cruise line. If you've never cruised be prepared, you're about to get the full experience. Although I've never actually seen a vampire on any of my cruises . . .
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Many of my characters have their roots in someone I know or a character from a movie or TV series I love. In the Magical Mystery Book Club series, you’ll meet Zell. She's an 80-year-old spitfire. You'll see that all my elderly characters have spunk and energy. They have a fantastic sense of humor, and very few filters. They demonstrate that age is just a number and doesn't need to limit you. I have a great example of this in my very own home! My 88-year-old mom. She is very Zell-like and keeps us laughing and on our toes.

About Featured Book: The Big Bad Wolf: Book 1: Blood (A Fantasy Reincarnation Isekai Light Novel) by 13 Pitch Black Cats
For a limited time after release at $0.99. Valid until January 20, 2023
When a mysterious entity grants a man who died a chance to be a hero in another life in a fantasy world, he cannot believe his luck. The one condition: he must fight the demon king if he shows up during his new iteration.
He accepts and…
Wakes in the body of a young female wolf beastkin named Lucia haunted by the memory of orcs ravaging her town. Not the rebirth he was hoping for.
He soon learns that beastkin are not looked upon kindly in these parts and, because Lucia is an orphaned beastkin, she is drafted into the military. But this new body has its perks as well as its drawbacks. She possesses a hot temper, an incredibly youthful and strong body, and claws. However, the longer he is in this body, the willpower of his former life begins to yield to Lucia’s overwhelming primal instincts.
With the help and magic of an enigmatic female elf at an orphanage, Lucia may have a chance at controlling her violent nature as she contends with this harsh, new alien world. Among the threats: murderous orcish raiders, fearsome beasts, and summoned demons. And quite possibly, the demon king himself.
No small feat for a young beastkin, but it sure beats being dead.
This Royal Road alumnus is a unique reincarnation fantasy adventure featuring plenty of action, twists, and memorable characters that takes place during the hero’s rebirthed childhood rather than glossing over it like most books in the genre. This exciting isekai story with its female lead will transport you to a lush new world filled with fantastical races, unforeseen danger, and powerful magic you won’t soon forget.

Did you do something positive that surprised you today? Thanks in advance for sharing it with me. And now, here is today’s positive affirmation to keep you on your toes…
I am brimming with energy that lifts my spirits throughout the day.
About Tom Gormley:
A native of Ohio, Tom Gormley graduated Ohio State University with a degree in Engineering and Colorado State University with a Master’s in Business. With over forty years business experience in high tech industries, Tom is now writing. An avid history buff, his first book, “A Korean War Odyssey”, tells of locating his wife’s uncle, long lost during the Korean War. His second, “INFERNO!”, is the story of the Colorado Marshall fire and the many miracles that surround it. Tom and his wife live in the Colorado countryside near the fire. They love to travel in their motorhome with their companion Havanese, Koko.
What inspires you to write?
Both INFERNO! and A Korean War Odyssey are based on events that affected me personally. The Marshall Fire occurred within six miles of our home and my wife and I spent years trying to locate her MIA uncle. But events are best understood when put into perspective with history. That's what I do – take interesting events and tie them to history to show how things fit together. My books tell what happened in a format that can be referenced now and in the future.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard have the best researched and written history books. S.C. Gwynne is a great historical writer. And W.E.B. Griffin’s military historical novels are fun to read.
Tell us about your writing process.
Research, Research, Research! I start with an important event that I think others will find interesting and then begin looking into what happened and what others have to say. Often, this can be found online, but more obscure research requires visiting libraries and government facilities. And of course, interviews play an important part, as does personal experience. Usually, multiple stories become threads that need to be woven together in such a way that will keep the reader’s interest while still moving the timeline forward. I usually end up with numerous virtual documents of seemingly unrelated stories from all these different sources that I then intertwine to make a mosaic to tell what happened. I always keep another separate document of these sources that becomes the start of the bibliography.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
After trying to gain traction with traditional publishers and agents, I started looking at self-publishing options. I settled on Trafford as they are the oldest and longest-lived self-publisher and offer a breadth of options for publishing as well as for promotions and marketing.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
Hard copy books will always be available, but ebooks will become the standard in the next few years. Soon, it will be possible to make ebooks interactive so that additional storylines and details can be added as the reader and author desires. That way, a book can be updated and changed so that it grows and has more than a few years life.
What genres do you write?: non-fiction, history, Colorado history, biography, memoir

About Steve Heiman:
Steve fled the big city life at the age of ten to enjoy a healthy country upbringing in Central Oregon. After decades of dreaming about writing a book, the Covid-19 Lockdown of 2020 became his golden opportunity to actually make it happen. A lifetime resident of the Northwest, he now lives in Portland OR., and looks forward to a future life in the country with a dog and several cats while writing more zany escapades.
What inspires you to write?
I want to uplift and inspire my readers. I firmly believe we can collectively create a far better society, and that modeling that potential is part of the function of literature.
For most of my adult life I had considered writing a novel, but had never really committed to the effort. When COVID hit I was stuck at home unemployed for nearly four months and applied myself to writing. I was working on my first book, a dark dystopian story and it was absolutely depressing to write. One day on my walk I was bemoaning this fact and wondering why I didn’t write something fun and uplifting when the entire story of Jack Gripper plopped into my head. I raced home and wrote the first chapters that afternoon.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
I will be leaving off so many from this list but here we go in no particular order. Ursula K. Le Guin, Kurt Vonnegut, Tom Robbins, Piers Anthony, Niven, Farmer, Edger Rice Burroughs, John Howard, Bear (RIP), McCaffrey, and about a hundred others, LOL.
Tell us about your writing process.
A bit of both. I don’t follow typical writing approaches for story development. I don’t map out my plots or character arcs beforehand but simply layout the bare bones of the story then use chapter summaries to give myself a roadmap of the main elements. So I have main points I look to complete but let the characters dictate how I get there. I then address story and character arc, check for plotholes, and balance narrative and dialogue. I do spend a fair amount of time considering my characters backstories for depth and nuance. I do the same with world building. I absolutely have a few alpha and beta readers to give me feedback during the creative process.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Again, a bit of both. When not writing I am the one talking. During the actual writing process the characters are more in control. Since I am currently writing satire and occasionally making jabs at some of the tropes we have in sci-fi, sometimes that will dictate the response. I certainly found that my characters grew and became more defined and commanding in their responses.
What advice would you give other writers?
Know why you are writing, and know your genre. I think those are critical no matter what your process is. Writing is an artistic venture and as such we all have different approaches and there is no right or wrong, only what works or not. But you have to know what drives you and the genre you are writing in.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
A bit preemptively, but it is what it is. I chose self publishing knowing from my previous employment as a graphic designer that I could produce a polished professional grade book. It gave me full artistic control and it seemed many had success with it. I would say neither approach is right or wrong and that success is the measure. Most authors do not succeed financially, regardless of their publishing method. Just the truth of the matter. Writing as a career takes patience and fortitude for most anyway. Do your research before you make a decision. Join writing communities and ask the advice of other authors. Take your time.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
The evolution of the digital age is forcing the industry to change so it will continue to evolve. Hopefully what comes next is an improvement.
What genres do you write?: Sci-fi comedy, fantasy, alien arrival, satire

About Renee Linnell:
RENEE LINNELL is a former surf model, a professional Argentine Tango dancer, and a serial entrepreneur who graduated magna cum laude from Jacksonville University and received an MBA from New York University. She made her publishing debut in 2018 with The Burn Zone, a memoir of her experience as a cult survivor. She divides her time between Colorado and South Florida.
What inspires you to write?
I love to write. Period. It’s the way I process my experiences in the world. I see Magic and Miracles everywhere. I see people struggling with life, with how to be happy, with how to have more meaning and joy in their day-to-day—and so I write. I know I see the world differently than most and it is a calling deep inside my heart to express the “magic, miracles, we are all one, there is nothing to fear” through writing.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Rumi, Paulo Coelho, Lee Child, Gregory David Roberts, Marcus Aurelius, Tom Robbins. They all tap into (as Paulo Coelho would say) the Language of the World. Even Lee Child.
Tell us about your writing process.
Unless I have a deadline, I only write when I feel inspired to write. I follow the energy flows. There are stages in my life where I have no desire to write and stages where all I want to do is write. I try my best to honor those. If I have a deadline and am “forced” to write when I don’t feel called to, I sit down and start writing. I know it will be crap at first. But, I also know that if I stick with it, the Flow will happen and I will create something I love. I always ask that the Divine flows through me, so that I may touch my readers with Love, Light, Peace, Humor, Truth, and Wisdom.
When I am inspired to write, I love to be someplace beautiful—like my patio or a café with a beautiful outdoor space. I need quiet. And I need lots of uninterrupted time. Strong coffee and a big dessert help! One of my favorite places to write is in the cafes of Buenos Aires. They have wonderful coffee and desserts and they allow me stay for hours.
Also, I write and write and write. I don’t make outlines. I don’t have a plan. I don’t worry about anyone reading it. I don’t worry about errors. I don’t worry about it going into a book eventually or being a repeat of what I wrote yesterday. I just write what wants to be expressed from my heart or from my mind until the Flow stops and then I save it in a file called “new book” or “blog ideas.”
What advice would you give other writers?
I would tell them to write and write and write and write. Don’t worry if readers will like it. Don’t worry if it will turn into a book. Don’t worry about grammatical errors. Just vomit it all onto the page. Repeatedly. If there is a knowing in your heart that you have something to express through writing, stop making excuses for not doing it and write. We don’t get Talker’s Block, so just pretend you are telling someone a story and write that version. Then trust that it will eventually turn into a finished product that you love. I have found that both of my memoirs took on a life of their own. A wonderful team formed around both of them to help shape them into books I love. My job was to keep writing and to trust the process. Again quoting Paulo Coelho, “ . . . when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I started with looking for an agent and a traditional publisher. Then I realized I needed a marketing platform in order to be appealing to a traditional publisher. So I found a marketing consultant. Next I realized I was compromising my True Self in trying to be appealing to a broad target market and a traditional publisher so I turned to hybrid publishing—where I could be 100% me. I found She Writes Press and they were a perfect fit for me. I loved my experience with them. I planned to publish my second book with them, but miscommunication resulted in my publishing date being pushed back a year and then another six months so I decided to start my own publishing company and publish through that. I was a lot more work than I had imagined. I had to hire a Book Shepherd to help me. I found an amazing editor, proofreader, and cover/interior designer. I used the same marketing and publicity team I used with the first memoir. I also used the same cover designer. All in all, I found publishing through She Writes Press (hybrid publishing) much easier.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I think a lot of people have a lot to say, and that many books are flooding the market. I think traditional publishers are forced to publish well-known authors regardless of quality of work. And I think unknown authors who want to be published can be faced with a seemingly daunting journey ahead of them. However, I believe if we are called to write, we are being called to offer our Divine Gifts to the world through writing and we have to trust that a Path will open for us. We have to treat it all as an adventure and be willing to start in one direction, backtrack, start in another, detour, try another, etc. If we see it all as a learning curve and are willing to keep walking forward, we will get our writing into the hands of those who are seeking it. I realized I had to believe in myself, in what I had to offer, in my writing style, and in my story—and I had to fight for all of it. I had to grow into a much more confident version of myself in order to pull off getting my books into the world.

About Rachael Farrimond:
Rachael holds a BA Honours Degree in Creative Writing and English Literature and a Level 4 Diploma in Proofreading and Editing. She has been putting these to work over the last few years, running a successful blog and website, and is now venturing into the realm of self-publishing.
She lives in Newcastle upon Tyne in the North-East of England and, although she is sure that, in an alternative universe, she is living somewhere much more exotic, she is quite happy where she is for now.
What inspires you to write?
So many things! As a Sci-Fi/Fantasy writer, my usual starting point is a simple "What if…?" – especially in the case of my current project, The Eternity Mirrors series, which involves exploring parallel worlds.
Beyond that, I am inspired by the area I live in, my friends and family, and just about every Sci-Fi/Fantasy writer I have every had the privilege of reading.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
There are so many to choose from, especially in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy genre. Some of my favourites include Neil Gaiman, Ben Aaronovitch, Marisa Meyer, and of course, C. S. Lewis.
I am always on the look out for new writers and new stories to sink into.
Tell us about your writing process.
I learned the hard way that I am a planner. When I first started out, I tried just sitting down and writing, and soon discovered that, while this is wonderful when the ideas are flowing, it is actually extremely difficult to maintain long term.
I am much more productive, and much more comfortable, when I have a plan to follow.
I will start off by making notes on the overall story and where it is going – whether this is a short story, novella, novel, or even a full series. From there, I get to know my characters – the people who are going to inhabit the world I am building, and drive the story forward.
Eventually, I will start breaking the story down into smaller pieces, planning out each chapter, each scene, even some key exchanges of dialogue.
And when I do finally start writing, I find that very quickly a lot of that plan goes out the window anyway as the characters take centre stage, and I usually end up re-thinking and re-planning as I go.
Basically, I never stop planning!
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Yes! That is to say, I don't go as far as holding full exchanges with them, but I will certainly try to inhabit their head space as much as possible, to find their voice, and to portray them as authentically as I can.
For me, that usually means sketching out (in words) their back stories, and working out what makes them tick.
What advice would you give other writers?
Work out what your process is. As I mentioned above, I learned the hard way that I am an planner. You will come across 101 different pieces of advice (especially online) for how to write a book, but finding out what works for you is possibly the most important thing you can do. When you know that, you'll be surprised at how quickly you will win the staring match with your blank page.
And after that, don't give up.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
There are so many pros and cons when it comes to pursuing either traditional publishing or self-publishing. Ultimately, what led me to self-publish The Eternity Mirrors series was that I wanted to test the waters, to see if I could make a go of it on my own. I like that self-publishing allows authors to keep creative control over their work. It is not an easy path (but there there is no such thing as an easy path in publishing), but so far, I am extremely thankful for what I have learned.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
Self-publishing has already revolutionised the book publishing industry, and I hope that continues, as long as it is sustainable.
Given how saturated the market is becoming (or has become) with self-published books, I do wonder if some sort of regulation needs to be considered to ensure high quality work is making its way into the hands of readers. I have no idea what that regulation would look like, though!

About Michele Kwasniewski:
After graduating from Loyola Marymount University with a BA in Technical Theater, Michele Kwasniewski spent over fifteen years in film and television production. Starting out as a film set assistant on movies such as INDEPENDENCE DAY, FACE/OFF, PRIMAL FEAR, and EVITA. Michele eventually switched to the small screen and worked her way up the ladder to production manager, gaining experience on television shows such as BIG BROTHER, ADOPTION STORIES, EXTRA YARDAGE and MEET THE PANDAS. She is also a proud member of the Producers Guild of America. Michele's colorful experiences in the industry inspired her to write THE RISE AND FALL OF DANI TRUEHART series. Michele lives in San Clemente, California with her husband, their son, and their disobedient dachshund.
RISING STAR was awarded Finalist in the category of YOUNG ADULT FICTION for the 2021 BEST BOOK AWARDS and 2022 INTERNATONAL BOOK AWARDS. RISING STAR was awarded Finalist in the categories of GENERAL FICTION and YOUNG ADULT FICTION in the 2022 AMERICAN FICTION AWARDS.
What inspires you to write?
I’ve always been curious about "the why". Why do people think the way they do? What motivates people’s good or bad behavior? Why do things happen in the world? In real life you often don’t get concrete answers for those "whys". But in my books I get to come up with my own answers. That is the reason why I write. I love telling stories, building believable worlds and creating nuanced characters that connect with readers. If I can create a story that engulfs a reader to the point that they are rooting for the main character or maybe they despise the antagonist so much that they can’t stop reading until they know what happens next, I know I’ve done my job well. It’s something I strive for with each project I write and I hope I am getting better with every story.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Too many to count! A few of my favorites are: Stephen King, Margaret Atwood, Edgar Allan Poe, Kazuo Ishiguro, Laura Purcell, Ruth Ware, Michael Faber, Patrick McGrath, John Ajvide Lindqvist, Gabriel García Márquez just to name a few. I love anything from thrillers, to chick-lit if it’s well-written. These authors are my go-to whenever I’m in a library or bookstore browsing for something to read.
Tell us about your writing process.
Normally I am definitely a “fly by the seat of my pants” type of writer. I wrote the first two books in my YA series THE RISE AND FALL OF DANI TRUEHART with no outline. I usually prefer not to use an outline because I find not having a carefully laid out plan lets the story flow naturally and there’s a broad world of choices for my story and characters. But in all honesty, I ended up overwriting a ton, so editing the books down was hell. For my latest book I was overwhelmed trying to wrap up the series and the story just wasn’t flowing. I needed to try something new. I saw a TikTok about creating ‘a story spine’ (so much to learn on TikTok if you have the patience to find it) and it really cast a helpful light on what I needed to do to complete the book as well as the series. The spine gave me a roadmap to figure out what plot points I wanted to hit and what storylines I needed to resolve without having to spend a bunch of time fleshing out each story point. It sparked my creativity and I was able to finish the book with confidence. After the spine was complete, I would consult it occasionally as I wrote to ensure I was on track with the plot points I had laid out. It was also a helpful tool for closing any gaps in the story. The origins of the spine are murky, some say a story artist from Pixar came up with it, and others say a teacher named Brian McDonald created it. But I wanted to share this with you since I found the story spine so helpful in finishing my last book. Just fill in the blanks and Ta Da! – your book is outlined.

For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Absolutely. If I’m not talking to my characters, it means they’re boring and I need to rewrite them. I bounce ideas off my characters as I write, kind of spit-balling out loud. I read my writing aloud, sometimes as I’m putting the words down on the pages, which is why you won't usually find me writing in public. I find that reading my work out loud helps ensure that each character has their own voice. It's important that every character’s cadence of speech and word choice is different; I definitely don’t want them using the same slang or speech patterns. The longer I am writing a particular character, the more they start to develop their own of personality. I often find myself writing something and only after I read it out loud, do I realize the character wouldn’t do or say such a thing. It’s all much less bizarre than it sounds, I swear; I am not hearing voices in my head or anything. But knowing who my characters are helps me set them on a believable path. Sometimes they surprise me and I find a storyline I had set out to write won’t work with the character. It’s frustrating and I often find myself venting to my characters. But I’ve found that if I try to keep what I want and disregard what the character would naturally do, it usually results in stilted or forced story telling. For me, a lot of writing is getting just out of the way so the story can tell itself. Whenever I try to force something to happen, it usually doesn’t work well. Which goes back to my other answer about why I am not a fan out outlining. I like to be open to whatever possibility pops up and see what it takes the story and characters.
What advice would you give other writers?
Just write. Show up every day, even if you only have an hour to spare. Like any talent or skill, you cannot improve your writing or storytelling if you do not practice. I think reading is also important – knowing how you like a story to be told, what makes you love or hate a particular book or genre is important. Being a lifelong reader has been wonderful preparation for becoming an author. Not having been formally trained, I might not know all the jargon for the writing process, but reading has shown me what works in a story, what happens when tension isn’t present or there are too many details that slow the pacing. Sometimes reading a good (or not so good) book can inspire you. Finally, open yourself up to constructive criticism. After all, if you’re not just writing for yourself, eventually other people will read your work and they will definitely have opinions. Only by listening to other people’s thoughts and impressions of your work will you learn if you have effectively gotten your point across. It can be hard to know what advice to listen to and what comments to ignore, but solid criticism from readers I trust has only made my books better.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I knew it was a long shot for an unknown writer to snag an agent (let alone a publisher), but I really wanted to give traditional publishing a try. I wanted to know without a doubt if my YA series was as good as I thought or if I was just being delusional. I figured I could always self-publish if no one picked me up. I didn’t want to be left wondering if I could have made it as a traditionally published author because I never had the guts to try. The worst thing anyone could say was no, right? I had given little thought to the gut-wrenching process of querying for an agent. I had no clue how much it hurt to have total strangers reject my manuscript (my “literary baby”) over and over again. But I likened the process to finding someone to fall in love with. You don’t connect with everyone you date, right? So all I needed was one brilliant person to fall in love with my story. I eventually found that person in my agent, Diane Nine. She got my story, and the series, and has been advocating for me ever since. I like having an agent on my side to walk me through aspects of the publishing world that I don’t understand, offer advice and help me move my career forward. She found my wonderful publisher, Rand-Smith. The publishing process has been much less stressful having them on my team. Self-published authors don’t get the credit they deserve – they are doing all the same things I am doing, but they are doing it on their own, without the experts I have fighting for me and guiding me. I have massive respect for anyone who publishes independently. There are enough readers out there that there is room for all authors, no matter how we publish, to be a success.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I really don’t know how to answer this one. I keep hearing how traditional publishing is dying out, the big publishing houses are merging together and there are fewer and fewer options for being traditionally published. But for me, like I said before, I enjoy being traditionally published. I’m not sure how I would thrive in a self-publishing world if the traditional publishing disappears. I think there are millions of readers out there always looking for new books to read, so there will always be a market demand for books. But with programs like Kindle Unlimited, where books can cost so little or are free, I wonder how traditional publishing will thrive. There are people I know who only read KU or free books and as a writer, it’s a kick to the gut that someone would refuse to pay for something you labored so hard to create. I don’t know what the answer is. I hope there is a way that authors can be compensated fairly for their work while readers have the option to read all the books they want for an affordable price. I’ll wish for world peace and the Cubs to win the World Series while I’m at it.

About Michael D. Young:
Michael is a graduate of Brigham Young University and Western Governors University with degrees in German Teaching, Music, Educational Leadership and Instructional Design. Though he grew up traveling the world with his military father, he now lives in Utah with his wife, Jen, and their three children, where he creates online curriculum for BYU. He enjoys acting in community theater, playing and writing music and spending time with his family. He played for several years with the handbell choir Bells on Temple Square and is now a member of the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square.
He is the author of the novels in The Canticle Kingdom Series, The Last Archangel Series, the Chess Quest Series and the Penultimate Dawn Cycle (The Hunger), as well as several non-fiction works, including An Advent Carols Countdown, The Song of the Righteous, As Saints We Sing, and The Song of the Saints. He has also had work featured in various online and print magazines such as Bards and Sages Quarterly, Mindflights, Meridian, Nugent Magazine, The New Era, Keeping Tab, Allegory, Liahona, and Ensign. He has also won honorable mention three times in the Writers of the Future contest.
What inspires you to write?
I am inspired to write because I love the process of creation. To me, worldbuilding is a thrilling experience and it is all the better when other people enjoy visiting my worlds.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
I am definitely a fan of Brandon Sanderson, who lives in the next town over and whom I’ve run into a few times. He has great worldbuilding and magic systems, and I like how many things are connected. I also enjoy other fantasy authors, such as Terry Brooks, Orson Scott Card, Robert Jordan, and of, course, C.S. Lewis and Tolkien.
Tell us about your writing process.
I'm a little bit of a cross between an outliner and a pantser. I like having some "goalpost" events in an outline and then I leave myself some flexibility about how to connect those different plot points. These days, I do a lot of planning and character sketches in Scrivener, which makes it easy to organize everything in one place.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Mostly, I take a cinematic view of my characters and will picture them up on the big screen, seeing how they will react in a given situation. I can picture the costuming, the music, the special effects…all of that and then I try to capture it on the page.
What advice would you give other writers?
Be patient. Nothing in the publishing world goes quickly. While you are waiting to hear back about a project you have submitted, start something else. Try not to take people's reviews too personally. Books are highly subjective and one book is never going to please everyone.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I have gone the route of doing both traditional and self publishing. For many of my books, I feel like they had a large enough audience that I wanted the expertise of professional editors, cover designers, etc. to polish up my book and so I went with traditional publishing. Some other books of mine where more niche, and so I felt that self-publishing was the way to go. If you are committed to learning all the steps of the self-publishing process, I advise new authors to give it a try. It is a lot to learn, but it can be very rewarding to have full creative control. It's a good thing to at least try so that you can appreciate all the complexities that go into publishing a book, no matter how you choose to publish in the future.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I don't think physical books will ever go away entirely. But I think we will find ways to merge technology with traditional print books, finding ways to interact with and expand a book's content with our Internet-connected devices. That will be fun, but the solid fundamentals of good storytelling will remain the same and will continue to be essential for success.

Since then, Simons has reported on war, civil unrest, politics and economics throughout Southeast Asia; India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh; Iraq and Iran; China, Japan, North Korea and South Korea, as well as the former Soviet Union. He was a staff correspondent for The Associated Press, The Washington Post, Knight-Ridder Newspapers and Time.
Simons and two colleagues won the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting in 1986, for exposing the billions that the Marcos family looted from the Philippines.

He held the 2012-2013 Snedden Chair in Journalism at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. He is married to fellow journalist Carol Simons. They have three grown children and reside in Washington, DC.
What inspires you to write?
For me, writing is air, food and drink. I cannot imagine living without it. I have written something for publication practically every day of my adult life—wire-service reports, newspaper and magazine articles, three books and contributions to half a dozen other books.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Mark Twain
Ernest Hemingway
Winston Churchill
Theodore White
Jill Lepore
Marguerite Young
Tell us about your writing process.
I report, research, study and absorb until whatever I'm tracking takes up nearly all my thought processes. Then, I take up a pen or pencil, sit at a typewriter or computer and write and rewrite an opening sentence, one I consider the key to what will follow. From then on, I let the writing lead me to the end. Then I do it all over. And again. And again…
What advice would you give other writers?
1. Apply buttocks to chair.
2. Keep it there until you have written something that satisfies you.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
My new book, TO TELL THE TRUTH: My Life As A Foreign Correspondent, is my third. All three have been published by traditional houses. That's the generation I come from and I saw no reason to change now.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I believe it will be entirely electronic by the time my grandchildren are grandparents.

About Kamaya Tarpley:
I have been writing and dipping into creative activities since I was young. Growing up on each coast gave me the ability to keep an open mind and learn about the many communities that are out there. In 2016, I found a love in writing novels after the publication of Alicia Vale: I Salute You and haven't put my pen down since! To date, I have 14 published novels ranging from romance to horror.
What inspires you to write?
Movies and television serve as my inspiration because I am a visual person. They give me prompting to give even more details to a scene so that the reader can know what something looks, tastes, or even smells like.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Colin Falconer, Peter Suskind, and Niall Griffith are my favorite writers.
Tell us about your writing process.
I typically create a playlist per novel that will keep me in the zone when I am writing. I also like to create a multi page outline that will keep everything organized and my ideas structured.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I don't necessarily interact with my characters but I do say to myself "What would X do?" or "What would X say?"
What advice would you give other writers?
I would tell other writers to also write for themselves first because everyone cannot be pleased. At the end of the day, you must be happy with your work.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I self-published at first because it's so easy but overtime, I found an appreciation for having complete control. I have had to humble myself to learn how to edit properly/ collect skills in graphic design the more I moved forward.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I think self-publishing will become more respected and seen as valid. Right now, many turn their nose down at it but you miss out on incredible stories that way.
What genres do you write?: Dark Fantasy/Thrillers/Horror

About JR Konkol:
A classical pianist and marginal triathlete, Jeff Konkol is permitted to live in the sprawling home of four very large cats. He published his first tabletop RPG, Of gods and Men, in the early 90s, and has been running games within that setting ever since. He recently returned to writing with the hope of sharing those stories with a wider audience.
What inspires you to write?
The world of Rebirth of the Fallen is built from many of tabletop fantasy role-playing campaigns I ran across the decades.
It's such a rich world, full of fantastic creatures and nuanced personalities. It's something worth sharing with a wider audience, and this seems to be the best way to do it.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Patrick Rothfuss, Jim Butcher, R.A Salvatore, and James Corey (pen name for authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck)
Tell us about your writing process.
I'm writing a long series, told from multiple points of view. I think the only way to effectively do that is to extensively plan.
I generate an outline for each of my books and keep a detailed log for the larger series as a whole.
The outline breaks each chapter down in terms of point of view, character development, storyline, and worldbuilding.
The larger event log is there for me to reference as the series grows. It informs me about what the protagonists found on their journeys, and when. It reminds me about which pieces of worldbuilding have been tackled and how long ago, etc…
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I guess I listen to my characters more than I talk to them, especially during longer periods of dialogue. If I can't hear my character delivering their lines, then I need to rewrite that dialogue.
What advice would you give other writers?
Don't be so hard on yourself. Writing is a skill that takes time to develop. Things may be rough starting out, but you can always go back and rewrite your earlier chapters later, when your skills are more developed.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I initially started by submitting to agents. When that didn't pan out, I submitted to several publishers. Black Rose Writing offered me a contract, so I decided to work with them.
Initially, the small press relationship wasn't the best for me, but as I've learned more about the process, and built a stronger partnership with my publisher, things have really started to develop.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
The publishing industry is in an interesting place. I think the rise of self-publishing, small presses, and hybrid opportunities is changing the industry.
I think there will be some consolidation at the top, and that we'll see some of the successful small presses grow into a new tier.

About John Walker Pattison:
John Walker Pattison was born in the wonderful seaside town of South Shields 65 years ago. He is a long-suffering, yet dedicated Newcastle United supporter; however, there is little doubt that the crucial hinge in John’s life, is his beautiful wife, June. “Nothing is more important than family,” says John.
He recently retired from his post as a senior clinical nurse specialist and Macmillan nurse in haematology at his local hospital, a place that established his cancer diagnosis almost 50 years ago; at that time his parents were told that he would not survive, yet here he is today, humbled to be one of the longest living cancer survivors in the UK today.
He has written dozens of articles for national and international nursing and medical press. John has presented lectures the length and breadth of the country on many aspects of haematology and cancer management. He is honoured to have won numerous awards both locally and nationally for his work in haematology. Now his focus is children’s fiction.
Pattison has recently completed his memoirs, ‘Me, and My Shadow – memoirs of a cancer survivor’ published on 31st October 2022.
Due to the pandemic and his chronic illnesses as a consequence of the salubrious chemotherapy and radiotherapy he received decades earlier, he decided to put pen to paper and document the elasticated stories he has been telling his grandchildren for many years.
His first children’s book, ‘Strange Trips and Weird Adventures’ is the first in a series of adventures of Daniel and Papa; available to a worldwide audience and will be followed by ‘Blenkinsop Blabbermouth and the Ghost of Broderick McCaffery,’ then, ‘The Fastest Water Pistol in Splodge City.’ His fourth title, ‘The Kingdom of Huckleberry Jam,’ was recently completed. Meanwhile, Lunar von Buella the Mystical Mouse from Missoula is a work in progress.
He enjoys the solitude and escapism of fly fishing and photographing Native Americans.
More significantly, he found solace throughout his cancer journey in the history, and spirituality of the Lakota Sioux Nation. In 2018, he would spend time on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation with the indigenous people of South Dakota, the people who, unknowingly, supported him through his, and life's greatest challenge, cancer.
What inspires you to write?
Hopefully, inspiring others, especially anyone touched by a cancer diagnosis.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Julia Donaldson by a country mile.
Tell us about your writing process.
Somethings come to you in the middle of the night, and therefore, you get up and scribble them down. The process of writing is completely different when I am penning children's fiction in contrast to writing my memoirs.
The ideas, and thoughts happen anytime and anywhere regarding fiction. Alternatively, if inspiration dries up, I pick up my camera and head out for an amble. Fortunately, I live in a beautiful part of the North of England, close to the sea – so inspiration is quite easy to find.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Oh yes, of course. I'm either that character, or I converse with them.
What advice would you give other writers?
Write from the heart and wait for the inspiration it will arrive when you least expect it to. Change the story as you go along, add characters and don't be afraid to be controversial.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
Like thousands of authors, I got sick and tired and demoralised by the rejection letters. Eventually, success………
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
Books will always be in demand, even in this technology-driven society. But clearly, it is getting harder and harder to get your work published. Many successful authors are turning to self-publication and, independent publishing. The latter have a significant and important role to play today.

About Isa Millot:
Isa Millot is a French psychic and healer, a profession she has practiced for many years. Today she devotes herself to writing and coaching with the aim of helping others to develop their highest potential.
What inspires you to write?
I like to observe things and beings, to feel the energies in an environment and to immerse myself in them to confront them with my own creativity. The raw energy of feeling is a great feeling that helps the idea to emerge. This stage is very important for me in a writing project because it allows me to think about what I want to share.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Stephen King!
For me he is a great portraitist and naturalist! He captures and breaks down every aspect of human nature to offer it to us as it is: perfect and imperfect at the same time, without artifice… A mixture of tenderness and horror in the meanders of passing life…
I also love Emile Zola, who has an assassin's pen when it comes to describing the failings of his contemporaries with intelligence. I love humans and how they function and this is felt in my reading, I need to feel the magic of the simple which is so beautiful.
Tell us about your writing process.
I don't make any specific plans in advance! For me this would be the surest way to get stuck. But I always have a notepad to write down my feelings and inspirations. I'm a very sensitive person and an incorrigible intuitive, too much structure in my work would cut me off from the feeling of fully feeling the seed of the writing project that emerges. I like to take my time… look at my notepad and listen… I don't want anything to escape me, so this interiorisation is precious before I actually start working.
What advice would you give other writers?
Stop comparing yourself to others!
Of course you can admire authors, it is thanks to them that you feel the urge to write, but this should not encroach on your personal universe and creativity.
Writing a book is an act of love before it is an art. I think that in order to be in phase with the story you want to tell, you have to be aware of what you want to give, what message or teaching you want to share. Before putting together a great story, the right question to ask yourself is "what moves me? what makes my heart beat?
As readers, we make connections with the books we love, so I think we have to keep that in mind when we write, to make connections, to express our personalities, to seek to bring people together above all.
Technique is important, but I don't think it's the most important thing. You have to write from your heart and not from the constraint of commercial or external pressure.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I am French and in France the classic way is to approach publishers. I wrote my book in English and I absolutely did not want to publish it in France.
I hesitated for a long time before self-publishing. My mind was just disconnecting from the writing phase and I never liked marketing very much, it was a hindrance for me. After much thought I realised that I had to take this book from start to finish. I didn't want anything to be imposed on me, which would have happened automatically with an agent and a publisher. My book would no longer have been mine but would have become one thing among many others… Writing it was a personal and human adventure and I wanted this feeling of grace to last… I started the process of self-publishing. It was intense, I learned a lot, I questioned myself but it was worth it because today my book exists and it is exactly as I visualized it!
No one else could have expressed what I had in mind so self-publishing was the best choice for me.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
It's a good thing self-publishing services exist!
Because I think publishers are too commercial and miss out on talented writers. It's a good thing that this environment is changing, for authors and readers! Before, the literary scene was very closed, very restricted, and the emergence of independent authors shows that readers are curious and eager to discover. I think that self-publishing will come more and more to the forefront over time and reveal talents that might not have a place with the major players in publishing.

There are so many, I’m a fan of Stephen King, George.R.R Martin and Christina Henry

About F.P. Spirit:
I am an avid science fiction and fantasy fan. A Trekkie before it was cool, I became hooked on fantasy the moment I cracked open my first copy of Lord of the Rings. When I'm not lost roaming the multiverse of sci-fi and high-fantasy fiction, I am either creating adventures for my role-playing friends and family, walking Thor, our black Labrador, or connecting with my mind and body in an attempt to reach that inner spark of spirit.
What inspires you to write?
All of my books have been inspired by a tabletop role playing game that I played (and still play) with my sons and friends. I always thought the stories and characters were fun, and wanted to pay homage to them and the players behind them, so I started writing those stories down and turning them into books!
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
I enjoy J.R.R. Tolkien. I also really enjoy The Belgariad by David Eddings. It's very underrated. I really enjoyed the character interactions, and I found it way more realistic than any of Tolkien’s characters. The Belgariad characters would bust each other's chops and have fun, and felt more three dimensional than the serious, formal characters of Tolkien.
Tell us about your writing process.
I typically get alone, where it is quiet. I break things into scenes and try to write them up like a movie scene. I will sometimes grab a sword and act out a scene, to make sure that movements and flourishes feel realistic, so I can better describe them to the reader. I will also create a spreadsheet for the large battles, listing the characters and all the parts they are playing in the battle, so I don’t forget about anyone, and no one falls out of the storytelling.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Yes. Just yes. Two of the characters are based on my sons, so I literally talk to them every day.
What advice would you give other writers?
When you’re writing, just put down to paper what comes to mind. Don’t worry about making it perfect. Don’t stop to edit. Just write it down. Take notes of things that need to change, and keep moving. Later, after you’ve finished writing the story, go over it about 5-6 times, and make it better. Also, not everybody’s going to like your stuff. Only look at bad reviews for constructive criticism. Otherwise, if there’s nothing helpful for you there, ignore them!
How did you decide how to publish your books?
One of my friends, who is also an author, told me that she published on Amazon and that it was really easy. So, I basically followed in her footsteps and got started that way. Another friend introduced me to the "Wide for the Win" Facebook group, and I learned everything about publishing my books Wide there. It has taken my book sales to a new, better level.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I think publishing has gotten easier and easier for authors, and will continue to get easier. However, what I have seen is that marketing books has gotten harder. A lot of big companies and algorithms have made it very hard for independent authors and other competition to market effectively.

About Erin Banks:
Erin Banks is an autistic Northern German-born author with Scandinavian and American roots. She wrote the female serial killer Horror Thriller "ABOUT RAGE," "Ted Bundy: Examining The Unconfirmed Survivors" and has contributed to several other authors’ works, among them Kevin M. Sullivan’s "The Enigma Of Ted Bundy," Anne Cossé’s "Could YOU Be Autistic?" and Jay Long’s "A Touch Of Temptation" anthology. She will be featured in several more authors’ books in the near future and still helps maintain the CrimePiper blog which focuses on True Crime and Psychology.
Together with Peter Douglas, she wrote and composed a soundtrack for her first novel, ABOUT RAGE, which can be accessed via Spotify, YouTube and most other platforms. On the side, she writes some of the lyrics and reads the intros and outros for the band DEAD POSSUM's "Murderous" franchise.
What inspires you to write?
My inspiration to write has somewhat changed, and been added onto, over the years. It was my dad, an avid poet and short story writer, who very early on in life motivated me to also jot down my thoughts and the stories I made up and told him as a child.
As a teenager, I often had curious dreams and nightmares that served as inspiration for some of my (unpublished) short stories and poems.
Being autistic, I live for my special interests, and so I began blogging in my early twenties with a focus on different religions and religious philosophy, which then led to an interest in psychology and ultimately True Crime. About two years ago, I was burned out from True Crime blogging and the community, and decided to take a break to delve back into fiction. There had been this story idea that I had stuck in my head and for which I had written a few disjointed chapters since 2018, and I knew I had to finally pursue it. My inspiration with this story, ABOUT RAGE, was mainly the lack of female villains – serial killers – in fiction, as well as the fact that the majority of thrillers still do not explore the antagonists' motivations and inner workings. I was curious whether I could give the world a female killer who was yet on some level relatable and who slowly drew the reader into her twisted and harsh way of justifying her crimes and way of thinking.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Well, in terms of fiction, my favorite author is Josephine Angelini. I love everything she does and hunger for more whenever I finished a new book of hers. Otherwise, I usually mostly enjoy individual books or series of an author, such as Chelsea Cain's "Archie Sheridan & Gretchen Lowell" series or Bradley Denton's "Blackburn."
I've recently started delving into newer horror fiction, such as Daniel Volpe, Aaron Beauregard, Johnny Athan, Matt Martinek and Mike Duke as well, and I like what they're doing. And of course I'm a big fan of Stephen King.
As it pertains to nonfiction my favorite author will always be my mentor, Ted Bundy author Kevin M. Sullivan.
Tell us about your writing process.
I've never been particularly good at outlining much of anything in terms of writing because whenever I made an attempt at it, the story and characters took me somewhere else. I don't feel that I am "in command," the story writes itself, and more than once did I have to concede that what I had planned out simply didn't work for the story. My writing "process" seems near magical to me. I will suddenly see a scene play out in my head and know that I'll have to start writing to see how it will end. Other times, I will have a complete beginning and end pop up in my mind, knowing I have to fill in the blanks.
I do actually create floor plans, layouts and save photos of landscapes, homes, furniture, and so forth, for my novel(s) because I'm a very visual person, and sometimes when I get stuck writing, these visual aids help me get back on track.
As for character sketches, I have done three for ABOUT RAGE but only shared one on my author blog so far; mainly because I am not a particularly good artist but just enjoy the meditative state that drawing and painting puts me in. As I write, I do create Excel lists about what the characters look like and all their lives' relevant data and life's events.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I don't talk to my characters, thus far. It depends on the story I write, but mostly they simply live their lives and I observe what they do as I type out what it is they do, experience, feel and say.
In case of ABOUT RAGE, I often slipped into my character, I felt I was her at times, and so I heard the Rider's voice whisper to me and laugh into my ear, which made the whole experience both incomparably eerie but all the more real and special to me, too.
What advice would you give other writers?
Don't listen to anyone else's advice. You'll find plenty of authors who will tell you that in order to be a "real" writer or serious author, you must write every single day, even if you're not inspired. I would always give to consider that there are writers with disabilities, such as myself. When my autism-related ADHD has my thoughts zigzagging in a million directions or I am overwhelmed and close to a meltdown or shutdown, there is simply no pushing it and aggravating my symptoms. Most artists, be they writers, musicians, painters or whatever else, are…"tender souls," to put it that way. They – we – are all a bit complicated and often have an abundance of mental processes or emotions that isn't always so easily explained or understood. With that can come a degree of self-centeredness by means of thinking what works for you or what you need is what works for everyone else. But it's not like that. Find your own routine and rhythm, whatever it is. As long as you are content with your procedure and what you put out, that is all that matters, in my personal view.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
Well, the first time around, when I decided to write "Ted Bundy: Examining The Unconfirmed Survivors," it was a combination of factors. My therapist had kept pushing for me to at least try and self-publish because he saw that I was always writing something anyway, and back then I was still almost exclusively blogging on CrimePiper or sharing my writings in The Ted Bundy Research Group. I had always had a special interest in the cases of the unconfirmed survivors and realized I had published more than a handful of analyses of their accounts on my blog. As well, more stories reached me regularly, and I decided that this would make for an interesting topic because it had never before been explored by any Bundy author or writer.
One of the reasons I decided to keep self-publishing and went the same route with ABOUT RAGE is that I had originally submitted the manuscript to a publisher. Time passed, and two months after I had submitted, there was suddenly a new hit TV show with a storyline that was surprisingly and eerily like one of the subplots of my novel – also something that had never before been done in fiction, to my knowledge anyway. I'm certain this was a coincidence, I have no conspiracy theories about this, but I did have one beta reader in early 2022 with connections to the film industry. So when friends brought to my attention this TV show, I naturally felt a tad deflated. I decided that I didn't want to wait any longer and that self-publishing would be the way to go for me for now.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
Does anyone know? Who would have thought we could all read books on our phone just thirty years ago, and that self-publishing would be made accessible to anyone and everyone? I recently had a wild dream about a device you could attach to your temple and it would let you see or watch the book as though it were a movie and you could choose which character you wanted to be. That's obviously really out there Sci-Fi, but when it comes to books and the written word, I'm sure there's more we'll see happening we never even imagined.

About Erica Sebree:
Erica lives in Austin, Texas, where she works in public service as a graphic designer. She reads too much romance and drinks too much tea—usually at the same time. She makes frequent attempts at gardening, and will happily talk to any animal who crosses her path. She believes lists should be written in colorful ink, and dreams of one day having a farm sanctuary with many adorable cows. When she escapes into fantasy worlds, it’s to places where magic is vital, animals are guardians, and a stubborn bodyguard’s only weakness is the fierce, reluctant heroine he’s sworn to protect. Wild Heart of the Storm is her first novel.
What inspires you to write?
I enjoy escaping to magical worlds where every problem can be solved by the end of the novel or series. I’m inspired by other fantasy worlds, stories, and characters—although romance character dynamics tend to stay with me a bit longer.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Sarah J. Maas, S. A. Chakraborty, Morgan Rhodes, Karen Marie Moning, Elise Kova, A.G. Riddle, Tahereh Mafi, Victoria Aveyard, Naomi Novik, Alice Hoffman, Sarina Bowen, Annabeth Albert, Lucy Lennox, Penny Reid, Tessa Dare, Sarah MacLean, Rebekah Weatherspoon, Alisha Rai, Roan Parrish, Kresley Cole, Katee Robert, Alexis Hall, N.R. Walker, Alice Winters
Tell us about your writing process.
I outline! Big time! I follow the Snowflake Method pretty closely, and utilize Google Docs and Sheets so I can access my files whenever an idea strikes.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I mostly listen to them. They all sort of feel like me, in a way. Is that weird? So I step into the characters as I write their scenes to figure out what they’ll say or do. I often find myself standing up to act out scenes (fighting scenes especially) to make sure physical movements make sense.
What advice would you give other writers?
If you feel stuck on a scene (even if every detail is outlined), go for a walk outside. Ideas are great at finding us there.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
After LOTS of rejection, I decided to move forward with indie publishing. While it’s required a lot of work (finding the right cover designer and editor, building my website, learning html for my ebook), I’m glad that I haven’t had to sacrifice anything in my story or with the look I wanted for my cover in order to please someone else. Keeping creative control is really great!
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I think the balance will continue to shift toward indie publishing. People want to read what they want to read, and most of the books I’ve LOVED have been written by self-published authors. The gatekeepers of the traditional publishing world don’t always get it right. And if they won’t publish the stories we want to read we’ll find them elsewhere.

About Emilia Ramos Samper:
My name is Emilia Ramos Samper and I am one of the youngest people to ever publish a novel. I wrote my first book, "Crown of Scales and Wonder" when I was ten and my second book is coming out this year. I've won 1st and 3rd place in the LaPlume Young Writer's Contest. My hobbies include theatre, voice, and playwriting!
What inspires you to write?
I have been fascinated with books ever since kindergarten. There was something about the worlds and characters that authors could create with a single sentence that made me so determined to do the same. In elementary school, I buried myself in books until one day I decided to write one. In fourth grade, I did, and now I'm a proud twelve-year-old author. Beasts, dark magic, and all things fantasy inspire the world of my books. However, I also take aspects of trips and people I've met on them into my books.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
One of my favorite authors is Christopher Paolini, because I love the way he writes mythical creatures with such grace and depth. I also love Leigh Bardugo for her intriguing character work. In her novel, "Six of Crows" the characters have so much depth and backstory, something I try to include in my own work.
Tell us about your writing process.
Between school and work, I have very little time to louse off during drafting. So, I have gotten into the habit of setting word counts and goals to keep me on track. I love outlining, planning, and making all sorts of maps for my world and character relationships!
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Actually, I often get ideas for character conversations while I'm writing, and before I know it I'm out of my seat acting them out!
What advice would you give other writers?
My advice for other authors would be that no age is too young to start writing (heck, I published at ten!), no matter what anyone says. Also, whenever you get caught up in the world of promotion and marketing and sales tactics and all the difficult things, remember who you write for and why you love to write.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I decided to self-publish my book on Amazon because I wanted to have control over the process and work at my own pace. I encourage upcoming authors to do research on both traditional and self-publishing to make an informed decision about what is best for them.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I think that traditional publishing will remain a prominent industry, but self-publishing is on the rise as more people decide to have control over their content and selling strategies.
What genres do you write?: fantasy, teen

About Em McDermott:
Em McDermott writes every day in a tiny cabin in the woods of upstate New York, where the walls are lined with bookcases brimming with novels and fairy statues. She considers ancient myths and fairy tales to be the world’s oldest fantasy stories, and elements from these tales appear in all her work.
Em shares her home with her two loving partners, a small flock of dragons (cough, cough, pet chickens), and more zucchini plants than is entirely reasonable.
Em writes fairy tale fantasy and epic fantasy. Her stories are dark but are ultimately hopeful adventures of human love and transformation.
What inspires you to write?
I write for the rush.
When I sit down to write, I don’t know what will happen before the words appear on the page. Characters and worlds flow out from the realm of the Muses and I’m shocked and delighted as they materialize. I feel blessed to be a part of them coming into existence. It’s incredible to have a job that allows me to spend so much time in flow state.
Beyond that, writing allows me to spend my days in fantasy worlds full of mythical creatures and heroic friends who save the world. What could be better than that?
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Favorite fantasy authors: Anne McCaffrey, Juliet Marillier, Jacqueline Carey, Richard Nell, George RR Martin, Sara Douglass, N.K. Jemisin.
Favorite literary fiction authors (I love a beautiful lit fic novel): John Irving, Madeline Miller, Daphne du Maurier, Kazuo Ishiguro.
Tell us about your writing process.
I am very much a seat-of-my-pants writer. If I know too much about the story in advance, my brain feels like I already wrote it and I get bored.
When I first sit down to begin a new work, I generally have only a very vague idea in mind. Usually this has to do with the theme or the genre. I close my eyes and wait for a picture to appear in my mind, and then I write what I see. I usually have about 30,000 words before I know where it’s going, and I can see the whole shape of the book. I often break at that point to do a little outlining. From there on out, I write whatever scene comes to mind that day. I don’t go in order! Somehow the books come together.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Dialogue was actually very hard for me to get right when I was an early writer, because I don’t “hear” my characters speak. Watching my stories unfold in my head is like watching a TV on mute. I have to really get to know a character so I’ll know how they’d speak and what they’d say.
What advice would you give other writers?
You have to define what success is for yourself. We all want to be successful, right? But what does that mean to you? Without an answer to that and concrete strategies to get you to your goals, you’re unlikely to stumble onto it.
That said, my other piece of advice is: Don’t listen to anyone who tells you you can’t do it. You can.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I explored both traditional and indie publishing, at first. I queried agents even as I watched YouTube lectures by successful indie authors and learned about the amazing careers they were having.
I ultimately decided on going indie, because I like keeping creative control, higher royalties, and I enjoy the variety of work I get to do when I take a book all the way from manuscript to publication myself.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
eBooks have changed the field. Indie publishing is thriving, and the Internet has removed the one-time necessity of gatekeepers to guard the publishing world. While I expect the eBook market to continue to grow, I don’t expect traditional publishing will ever die out. Will they adapt and thrive, or stay the same as the years pass? That, I can’t say.
What genres do you write?: fantasy, epic fantasy, high fantasy, dark fantasy, fairy tale fantasy, fairy tale retellings, adult fiction

About DB Rook:
DB Rook lives in the North of England with his wife and two beautiful children. He is a drummer, a gamer, and a dreamer who loves to spend time in other worlds, as well as this one. He has spent recent years working in the charity sector whilst occasionally visiting the Wayward World to stretch his legs and feed his soul.
What inspires you to write?
I guess first and foremost to escape, or at least accentuate the world. I love the puzzle of efficiently portraying a sense of belonging to a fictional place and time using a string of words.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
My list has grown significantly since starting my author journey. My roots are firmly entangled around the likes of Robin Hobb and Raymond E Feist but my tastes have gradually reached towards Anthony Ryan, Joe Abercrombie and Jay Kristoff as I have become longer in the tooth.
Tell us about your writing process.
Outlining happens over long periods of time in my head. Scraps of disjointed notes and random phrases exist long before I start the story. Then, when the time is right I attempt to sculpt them all into cohesion with a little help from the characters themselves.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I try very hard to breathe comprehensive life into my characters. So much so that they are able to stop me in mid flow and say "Woah now! I would never say that!" I often give them rough lookalikes from the movie world just so I feel I can see them speak and watch for nuances or potential habits etc.
What advice would you give other writers?
Its an oldie but a goodie. Write what you want to read. I think it's important to be open to new influences and be able to absorb new ways of working but mimicry can only get you so far.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
It was tough at first to choose a path but the main two factors were, keeping the rights to my world and story. this leaned towards self publishing and then the second factor is that it's very hard to promote a brand without having your first piece on the game board, so to speak. Im not ruling our trad publishing but I'm happy furnishing my nest as I like it, for now.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
the traditional route certainly seems to be crumbling a little as far as I can see. unfortunately it seems very much like the music industry. It's not so hard to get your book out there these days so the market is somewhat saturated. I'm not saying there aren't millions of great books out there, just that not everybody wants to wade through them to find what they are looking for. I think there needs to be some strategic thinking from way above my head.

About Dan O'Mahony:
I've self-published four books so far, and as of this interview will be releasing two more. I write mostly middle-grade fantasy, but one the books I'll soon be releasing, Death's Fair Maiden, will be my first attempt at young adult, not to mention my first fantasy-romance.
I grew up in California, mostly in So Cal. Currently, I live in Phoenix, Arizona but have plans on moving back to Cali' in the near future. Oh, and I am the proud father of two beautiful cats, Luna and Shyanne. They are in fact sisters.
What inspires you to write?
I write because "I am." It's in my nature. I create stories and share them with the world.
I have always enjoyed the fantasy genre. I can think of dozens of books that have provided me with great joy and insight, that have stretched my imagination and allowed me to escape my real world troubles for awhile. I definitely want to pay that forward.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Neil Gaiman, Stephen King, Terry Pratchett, and Wiliiam Butler Yeats. I also read a lot of Irish myth and folklore along with Irish history, for enjoyment and to gather material for new stories.
Tell us about your writing process.
I am somewhere between a plotter and a pantser. I do take the time to list as many key events as I can before I start a story. It's pretty broad, and there are often gaps. But inspiration always comes to my rescue.
I always start with the character development. If you do a good enough job with character development, the characters will literally "come to life."
For the actual writing, I use Scrivener software. I love how you can easily rearrange scenes. You can also create files for things like character and setting sketches and research notes and access them on the sidebar.
Scrivener also compiles your work into a number of different formats: ebook, novel, manuscript …
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Oh, yes. Big time. Back when I was more of a plotter, I used to argue with my characters when they refused to do things "my way." I ended up giving in and letting them tell me what to do. I have not regretted it. After all, the characters know the world of the story much better than I do.
What advice would you give other writers?
This is not a get-rich-quick scheme. Be ready to put in the work and be patient. You also need to develop a think skin when it comes to dealing with rejection and criticism. Learn to take constructive criticism though. And whatever you do do not "write for the market."
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I tried for a long time to get traditionally published. I have had some interested agents who requested full manuscripts. When they got back to me, they would praise my work and tell me how much they enjoyed it — but they would then tell me my book either "wasn't what they were looking for at this time" or they couldn't see themselves as being able to "champion my book."
I decided on self-publishing, because I have too many stories to tell, and I want to get them in the hands of as many people as possible.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
Self-publishing continues to grow in popularity. A lot of unique and interesting stories are being put out there by self-published authors. A lot of the work I see coming from the big publishing houses seems rather stale — unless you're talking about the greats like Gaiman or King.
What genres do you write?: middle grade and young adult fantasy

Wherever she is in the world, you can find a dog at her feet and a keyboard nearby.
What inspires you to write?
I am inspired by everyday life, a thought that goes awry in my head and watching how people interact. I am inspired by life and the possibilities of how it can be.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
Nora Roberts, Dean Koontz are my two favorite and Beverly Cleary
When I'm not writing I read a lot of indie authors. I love discovering stories from indie authors because I know the struggle they go through to get their work out there. I want to be someone who reads their stuff. Say I'm paying hommage to my craft in a way.
Tell us about your writing process.
My writing process is all over the place. I would not recommend it to anyone. I say this because I have ADD, which can be a blessing and a course.
I start with an idea that is itching at my brain to get out, and I write down the words until they feel like they're extinguished. Once I do that, I ask if this will be a short story or a novel. That will determine how many chapters, if any, will be written.
If it's going to be a novel, I know how many chapters I want to create, so I segment the chapters, determine what needs to go into what chapter for pacing, and write one or two sentences about what the chapter needs to be about.
Once I have that, then I have somewhat of an outline. So I would honestly say I'm a plotterpantster.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I listen to my characters. I talk to them only to laugh and say OMG, or I can't believe what just happened, but they are telling me a story, so I honor that story the way It is. They shock me all the time. I tell them they are crazy as well, because obviously I'm the sane one.
What advice would you give other writers?
The only advice I would give writers is to remember why they do it. We get so caught up in trying to make it that we forget why we wanted to do it in the first place that we lose our passion for it. We lost the joy. It's all the noise that takes away our passion.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I listened to a podcast called "Author Like a Boss" and it was all about self publishing. I knew then I wanted to control the process and do things my own way. I've been doing that my whole life anyway so why not continue to do so.
I would encourage all authors to do the research. there is a reason to publish both ways, but for me, I love the freedom of working outside the system. Maybe it's because I worked inside a system for 20 years in the military and knew how slow the cogs in the wheel went and didn't want to wait, but either way, the research is out there so just read. Never stop reading.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
The future of book publishing is excellent. People love reading, and they will never stop wanting to escape the world they currently live in. The thing is, escapism has been one of the greatest forms of entertainment since the beginning of time. Write the books. No one is going to stop reading. Whether you want to self-publish, wide or amazon only, direct sales on your website, or seek traditional publishing, I think they are all valid. Things swing one way every 10-20 years but remember that they will turn another course in the next 10-20, so never count one or the other out. Everyone swings with the times. I say you need to have a good plan and pay attention. That's all.

Charlotte Rijkenberg first moved abroad with her husband over a decade ago. Since then, they have traveled, worked, and lived across the world.
Convinced of the incredible life lessons moving abroad brings, Charlotte is now on a mission to inspire people around the world to move abroad and live their best lives.

What inspires you to write?
My biggest drivers to write are my curiosity and drive to help people.
My book, Let's Move Abroad, has been created with the passion to give people the confidence and tools to follow their dreams and move abroad.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
I love classic novelists like Jane Austen and Daphne du Maurier, and I can't put down the books by Liane Moriarty.
Tell us about your writing process.
When I started writing, I started with a strict writing schedule, but it didn't work for me at all!
Some days I can write a whole chapter, and other days I can't type a single word. When I'm not inspired to write, I research a certain topic or just review previously written chapters.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
n/a
What advice would you give other writers?
Keep writing.
It is easy to get stuck in your head and doubt yourself. In the end you can write a sentence in a hundred different ways, just do it your way!
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I decided to self-publish my book because I felt confident with the marketing aspect of the book promotion. It is a lot of work, and I advise new authors not to underestimate this part, it takes a lot of time and effort to promote a book!
Having said that, websites like Amazon make it very easy to self-publish and self-promote and ultimately I chose to self-publish because it gave me 100% control.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I'm very excited about the growing number of self-published authors, and I think with the impact of social media, the self-published market can become really big!
What genres do you write?: Travel, Emigration & Immigration, self-help

I've been telling stories all my life through gaming, but I've always wanted to write books. I draw my inspiration from everywhere, books, games, movies, comic, etc. Their creativity inspires new story ideas in me.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
I like a number of old school authors like Roger Zelazny and Patricia McKillip. Among more current writers, I enjoy Seanan McGuire, Jim Butcher, Adrian Tchaikovsky, Holly Black, and Charles Stross.
Tell us about your writing process.
When I sit down to write, I first figure out the ending. I need to know where the book is going. Then I create an outline and character sketches. Neither are rigidly followed though. As the writing progresses, the plot will inevitably shift as new and better ideas emerge. Characters will redefine themselves through the actions I give them. As I write, I create a list of things to look for in subsequent passes. This keeps me honest with the state of the story and characters moving forward. In the end, I reread the entire book several times, looking for confusing or awkward sections. It's definitely a process!
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
My characters have a life of their own. I hear them talking in the back of my head as I write. While I don't reply, they nudge me, reminding me of who they are and why I care about them.
What advice would you give other writers?
Let your characters be smart. Don't get so caught up in what you want to happen that you make them do dumb things. Your readers will notice. There is always a way to make the plot work and let your characters do what makes sense to them in that moment.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I use indie publisher Craig Martelle. For me, I wanted to focus on writing and was willing to give up a portion of my profits to let someone else do the marketing, formating and other publishing tasks. The entry to traditional publishing is too long and tedious for me, and overhead of self-publishing is too much work. Indie publishing was perfect for me.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I think traditional publishers need to change or they'll become irrelevant. They are already perilously close to being left behind. Growth will always come from the bottom, in self-publishing. The freedom and variety it provides are unparalleled.

About Bentley Turner:
Bentley Turner has written short stories and poetry that have appeared in literary journals and anthologies. He has written "The File on Thomas Marks," a police procedural; "The Prize Winners and Other Stories," a collection; "A Killing in Oklahoma," a legal thriller; and "The Agency," a thriller about the CIA, the KGB, and UFOs. His books are availabe from Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and other online sellers.
What inspires you to write?
I have been writing ever since I was in high school. Why? I don't know. I just know that I love to write. In fact, I tried to write a modern novel that was amateurish, to say the least. The characters were not well developed and the plot was weak. When I was in college, I enrolled in more than one creative writing course. Each required students to write at least two or three short stories throughout the semester. When each story was turned in, copies were made and given to students to read and discuss. I believe the requirements and feedback from others helped immensely.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
I like the old writers such as Ernest Hemingway, John O'Hara, John D. MacDonald, Irving Wallace, Harold Robbins, Ira Levin, Donald Hamilton, Erle Stanley Gardner, and several others. I also like John Grisham and Linwood Barclay from time to time.
Tell us about your writing process.
I try to write or edit something I have written almost every day. I do not necessarily work from an outline, although I have used a few over the years. Sometimes I have to write down characters' names and something about them before I include them in a piece of writing. This helps whenever a character is complex or has a specific characteristic or even tick.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I try to get to know my characters well. This means, I try to get inside their heads in order to know what they will say or do, depending on the situation or circumstances.
What advice would you give other writers?
Don't give up–that is, if you wish to see your writing in print. Keep writing and sending it out to publishers.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I try to use reputable publishers that have been around a few or more years. Today, a writer has to be careful. There are numerous publishers that promise this and that and don't or can't deliver.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
Although books sold well during the pandemic, publishers have seen a decline during the past year. Of course, there are more and more publishers publishing more and more books. Readers can't afford to buy every book they'd like to read. However, because there are so many publishers, writers should have a good chance of seeing their work in print or other.
What genres do you write?: Mystery, Thriller, Legal thriller, Suspence, Espionage.

About Ben Westwood:
I'm an author, journalist, lecturer and performer. My first novel, crime thriller Green Shoots, is available now.
I'm a former Daily Telegraph journalist and write on travel, family and environmental issues. I've authored several travel guidebooks on destinations from Ecuador, Galapagos and Peru to London. I combine freelance writing with lecturing at University of Brighton in the UK. I'm also an experienced musician and have released two albums as a singer-songwriter.
What inspires you to write?
I'm inspired my the world around me. I feel particularly strongly about injustice and environmental issues, which drove me to write Green Shoots, an eco-themed thriller.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
George Orwell, John Le Carré, Ian Rankin, Terry Hayes, Yan Martel, JK Rowling.
Tell us about your writing process.
I plot things out but it changes as I write the book and I think it's important to let the characters breathe and see where they would go and what they would do naturally. I set myself daily writing targets as I find that helps.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Yes I talk to them and often write by speaking out loud and recording it. I find a hot bath is very useful for doing this!
What advice would you give other writers?
Read the type of books you want to write and notice how they work. But get writing rather than just thinking about it! If you're unsure about plotting buy some books or consider doing a course.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I tried to get an agent but was not successful – I think it was a particularly difficult time as I finished my book during the pandemic. I then approached independent publishers and was accepted by Cranthorpe Millner in the UK.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
Sales of fiction went up over the pandemic and it shows how important books are to people. It's a difficult industry because so many ebooks are offered very cheap or free. I think you have to be a writer for the passion first. Any money is a bonus.

About Athene Z. Adam:
Athene self-published her debut novel, Imperious Realm. By day, Athene works in the corporate world. By night and on weekends, she's tinkering around with new ideas for her writing projects. When she's not writing, Athene is baking confections for her friends and family, and obsessing over comic book, action, and fantasy/science fiction movies.
What inspires you to write?
I've always had this creative energy that I needed to get out. I've tried different art forms over the years, but I value writing as my most creative form of expression. I also love character-driven plots and enjoy developing intricate and complex characters.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
I don't know if I have a favourite author. I read a variety of novels. In fact, self-publishing has given me an appreciation for Indie authors, and I've committed to reading more of these books. When I was younger, I used to read R.L. Stine, Mary Higgins Clark, and various science fiction novels.
Tell us about your writing process.
As complex as my debut novel's fictional world is, literally all of it was written based on gut instinct except where my editor made specific suggestions to amend or clarify. I am a "pantser". All I need is a blank Word document for my imagination to run loose. This approach is great for me because I can tap into my subconscious, but it also makes self-editing a total nightmare.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I talk to my characters all the time and sometimes pretend to be them, of course with my door closed so my family doesn't think something is wrong with me. It helps me get into the heads of my characters and create consistency. I really enjoy writing dialogue.
What advice would you give other writers?
Write for yourself, first. I think a lot of authors do this, anyway. I'm glad I pursued this venture but it was and continues to be a difficult road. I am happy with my overall story and while there were times I was overwhelmed and questioning why I was pursuing publishing, I can still pick up my books and enjoy reading passages at random.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I did look into traditional publishing a bit but there were a few things that sealed the deal for me to self-publish. Ultimately, I value the creative control, and I don't think I would have gotten that through traditional publishing. I also had my own publishing goal of releasing my debut novel before the end of 2022.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I'm not sure that I'm an expert to be able to speak on this topic. I also don't hold any judgment on which route an author chooses to pursue. Personally, I think that more authors are pursuing self-publishing because of the competition in the industry. I don't think traditional publishing will become obsolete because people value the touch-feel experience and because self-publishing is challenging and expensive. But I think the traditional route is going to lose out on more authors as time progresses. At some point, they are going to have employ strategies to catch up and attract more people to their industry. We're already starting to see this through TikTok collaborations.

It is hard to over emphasize the value of early intervention for children on the spectrum. Although written in a grandparent’s voice, the book provides directions for parents and care givers who want to support the child. The child’s future cannot wait for an official diagnosis. Our diagnosis did not arrive until over a year after we had begun early intervention. I believe you should start as soon as you begin having concerns about what you are experiencing with the child. If the child is not on the spectrum, you have still begun good practices to support the child. The book is a compilation of live links and articles to get you started on your journey. For the child’s sake, you cannot afford to be behind on knowledge. Early intervention.
When it came to learning and understanding what autism is and is not, and how to appropriately support our child; we had to dig out every word on our own. Where do we go? Where do I find this? How do I do that? What does stimming mean?
After six years with a lovely grandson on the spectrum, I decided families needed an early intervention a roadmap. With luck, someone smarter than me will write a better one.
The links embedded in the book are live so you can go directly to the resources or articles I have cited.
I am not a therapist or clinician, but I have spent years accumulating information to help my grandson. Information I wish I had had the day he was diagnosed.

It’s the late 90s Internet boom, and Brendon Meagher has just lost his wife Sadie in a freakish car accident at the edge of Silicon Valley. THE CYCLONE RELEASE follows Brendon as he emerges from tragedy and lands in a pre-IPO start-up that promises astonishing riches. Mo Gramercy, a bright and commanding colleague with her own deep secret, joins Brendon, disrupts his malaise, and takes him as her lover. The characters’ careen toward IPO millions, their secrets suddenly converging, and both are shaken without mercy from bucolic notions of work, life, and impending fortune.
Targeted Age Group:: Adults
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
THE CYCLONE RELEASE is loosely based on my own two-year stint at a tremendously successful startup company from 1999 to 2001, a period that taught me a great deal about life, work, and the human condition, and I wanted to explore these lessons more deeply, and ultimately share them with the world. I wanted to write this book to help readers understand that Silicon Valley is not a business model or a tribe of young billionaires infecting our society as they pack their offshore accounts; it’s a place with a distinct culture and history all its own. It’s a place where regular people toil daily for reasons that are universally human: security, dignity, and a need to belong, to be part of something larger than oneself.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Like most fiction writers, I develop characters based on people I've seen and known, both in my life experience and in popular culture. I also think the best fiction writers, those writing really honest fiction, can also find pieces of themselves in their characters, and I'm no exception to that. Beyond that, I wanted a diverse cast, so I mined my life experience for people from diverse backgrounds: not only long-time Californians (as I myself am), but also immigrants from Germany, Vietnam, and India, and one prominent character whose family came to the U.S. from China.

About the Book
A near-death experience, a botched suicide that worked… then didn’t.
God had another plan.
“My Demon, My Jesus” is a Christian memoir about the author’s struggle with suicidal depression and how she conquered her demons.
At 30 years old, Blue Tapp attempted suicide by swallowing a handful of sleeping pills. Her spirit left her body before she was brought back to life in the hospital. Blue is alive today because God miraculously saved her life. Four angels appeared and helped her call for help before she died.
However Blue’s battle with depression was far from over. She spent the next three years addicted to prescription medication under the care of a psychiatrist. But pills cannot cure depression.
Today Blue is completely free of depression and medication. She has learned the keys to living an amazing life of joy and victory. ”My Demon, My Jesus” describes her healing process through meditative prayer. Others who suffer from depression can follow these same steps to reach true lasting healing.
Blue’s healing was miraculous. But it was not instantaneous. It was a process of learning how to think in a healthy way, how to shift thought patterns and spirit life from defeat to victory. Blue’s journey will help others climb their way out of the trap of poisonous thought patterns and prescribed drug addictions. There are so many people fighting this battle…
Blue’s story took another extraordinary twist in 2019. She began experiencing astonishing visions where her soul was taken to heaven to pray for the world with millions of other saints. Today the visions continue weekly with messages from heaven. God wants us to know that He loves and cares deeply about each one of us. He wants us to know Him intimately. All believers are being called to join with the saints in praying for our world, for a great awakening that will draw multitudes of people to the heart of God.
One of God’s charges was to write everything down, every vision in detail. As she did this, a connection became apparent between the visions and her own life journey, from her early experiences of demonic oppression and suicidal depression to eventual miraculous healing. The visions about God’s love were a message of hope to everyone battling depression.

Forever Sheyanne: A Sweet YA Romance by K.L. Penaluna
“This story is beautiful and heart-filling.”
Sheyanne (aka “Shy”) meets Lanny on the first day of high school, and they become fast friends.
As their relationship blossoms into first love, Shy is captivated by his enchanting Native American ways and his endearing spirit animals.
In time, their bond grows stronger in spite of challenges. But then they face the greatest challenge of all, forcing Lanny to make a potentially life-changing decision that puts the strength of their love connection to the ultimate test.
What will he decide?
Targeted Age Group:: YA and above
Heat/Violence Level: Heat Level 3 – PG-13
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
A friend was my inspiration for Forever Sheyanne. We met online but quickly transitioned to phone conversations. Sometimes, our conversations lasted for hours, during which he shared aspects of his Native American culture, his spiritual beliefs, and his specific experiences. I, in turn, shared some of my passions, such as Native American spirituality, past experiences, and creative endeavors that resulted in my friend encouraging me to write a novel. At first, the thought of writing a book felt intimidating. It seemed beyond what I'd be interested in or able to accomplish. However, after several months of having shared conversations with him, I began to imagine what good friends we would've been had we met while still in school. From there … the idea for Forever Sheyanne was born and crafted into reality.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
My protagonists are based on my imaginings of what our relationship may have been like if my friend, who encouraged me to write a book, and I had met back in high school. While neither protagonist is an exact replica of my friend or me, as school-age kids, there are some character-trait similarities woven throughout the story. The name Sheyanne comes from the name of my first horse, who I bought after graduating from high school and then obtaining a job. (My parents told me if I wanted a horse, I'd have to get a job to pay for it and all of its care. So … I did. Through the years, I've owned, at least, a dozen horses, but Sheyanne (nicknamed Shy) was probably the biggest rascal of them all and smart as they come. Maybe I should write a book about her, one of these days.

Have you set your joyful tone yet? Here is your positive affirmation for today:
I can tap into a wellspring of inner happiness anytime I wish.
Many centuries before the age of Man, as the ancient chroniclers tell, Tabor, the second greatest kingdom on earth, was under siege. The king had died in battle, and the queen had died in childbirth. As the enemy was closing in, the infant heir escaped far away to the tiny hamlet of Streamside. Brought up there in a boisterous tavern by his brother Jacoby, Young Nathaniel could not know that the trumpets of war had again sounded and that a greater army than ever, its leaders bent on revenge and world dominion, threatened a vastly weakened Tabor. He would be forced onto a quest of unparalleled magic and danger by unknown forces. Hellbent on world control. evil necromancer Crepitus sent assassins to Streamside, forcing Nathaniel and his brother into a fight for existence and a struggle to regain his birthright and save his kingdom. It is an epic fantasy of immense sweep set in the misty beginnings of the world and tells of the struggle of one young man, facing War and Magic, to survive.

About the book:
Only two tribes have survived the Big Scatter—the porky Soose and the horsey Nags. In this frolicking fable, the dominant Soose tribe’s governing principles have metamorphosed into a physical entity: a gigantic pink brain nestled in the Larchmont Mountain range. Hennie Honeygate is a pompous Soose who champions collectivism and big government, while the Nags, led by the Worde Witch Verendrye, treasure individual rights. Philosophic feuds fester until the four Nags raid the sacred monument of Our Brain and aim to rebuild the Guv’ner’s Mind one nerve at a time.
So begins the grand chase as Hennie furtively follows and futilely strives to undo the deliberate damage of the Nags, who transform memory, emotions, and reasoning throughout Our Brain. As Hennie hoofs along, he encounters uncanny creatures in Our Brain’s perilous precincts and discovers the intricate inner workings of the Guv’ner’s Mind—until finally, he confronts the Guv’ner Herself. Honeygate learns his life’s journey will continue if he can enter the exYou . . . but only if his nemesis, the Worde Witch, will open the gate!

Book Description:
Carrie had always lived a charmed life, but restlessness gnawed at her soul. She dreamed of a different future, but dramatic changes are taking place in the South. Her heart and mind would soon be tested by fire – sweeping away dreamed of freedom as chaos descends.
Carrie Cromwell comes of age as the storm clouds of the Civil War swallow America. Born with a fiery spirit and a strong mind, she finds herself struggling between the common wisdom of the South and the truth she has discovered. The activities of the Underground Railroad and her close friendships with the Cromwell Plantation slaves create difficult choices. But when her decisions put her at odds with her heritage and challenge her dreams, will she be able to give up all that is precious to her?
This first book of The Bregdan Chronicles historical fiction series will pull you in and never let you go. You’ll experience the Civil War era (and all the years to come) through the eyes of both White and Black, Free & Slave, Southern & Northern – and you’ll fall in love with every character.
Review: I never thought I would find a series to enthrall me like The Bregdan Chronicles has. I was wrong! I am struggling to find appropriate words to describe the awe I am in, and find myself failing miserably. I absolutely could not put these books down. I would finish one, and immediately hop online to go get the next one, sometimes in the wee hours of the morning, when my tail should have been asleep. The writing style of this author brings you right into the story as if you are a part of it. She has amazing talent to capture the imagination, and bring you right into a virtual reality. I have fallen in love with every one of these characters – especially the strong women! – and have become completely entranced with each life represented.
The historical account of this time period was so right on, so very vivid, you almost feel like you’ve walked right into it. These books became so alive, I actually had dreams at night of battle. (I’m not even kidding.) But it goes further. There were conversations in these books that had me reading over

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
After years of writing teen fiction, my publishers asked me if I would write historical fiction. I've always loved reading it, so I eagerly agreed.
Then they asked me what I was going to write about. That stumped me, because I had no idea. I told them I would get back to them when I had an answer!
I was living in Richmond, VA at the time – surrounded by the history of the Civil War. An experience at a reenactment for Chimborazo Hospital, inspired my passion to tell the TRUTH about that time.
You see, if you're from the South, you learn about the Civil War one way. If you're from the North, you learn about it a different way. If you're from the Midwest… I think you have the idea.
The problem is that no one is taught the truth! I decided it was time to remedy that by creating powerful characters and being completely anal about historical accuracy.
So far there are 19 books in the series, but there are many more to come. I don't like a good story to end either!
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Good question. Without wanting to sound too simplistic, they simply came to life on my computer screen, taking on their fullness as history unfolded before them.
White. Black. Southern. Northern. Female. Male. Liberal. Conservative. Slave. Free.
You'll find them all in the books I write.

About Featured Book: The Prince of Tabor by W. Penn White
Many centuries before the age of Man, as the ancient chroniclers tell, Tabor, the second greatest kingdom on earth, was under siege. The king had died in battle, and the queen had died in childbirth. As the enemy was closing in, the infant heir escaped far away to the tiny hamlet of Streamside. Brought up there in a boisterous tavern by his brother Jacoby, Young Nathaniel could not know that the trumpets of war had again sounded and that a greater army than ever, its leaders bent on revenge and world dominion, threatened a vastly weakened Tabor. He would be forced onto a quest of unparalleled magic and danger by forces unknown to him. Hellbent on world control. evil necromancer Crepitus sent assassins to Streamside, forcing Nathaniel and his brother into a fight for existence and a struggle to regain his birthright and save his kingdom. It is an epic fantasy of immense sweep set in the misty beginnings of the world and tells of the struggle of one young man, facing War and Magic, to survive.

It is always too early to give up on my goals.

The Battle between Good and Evil has a new name…
Harmon Waite is the son of the most powerful angel in the Universe. He will undergo twelve trials by fire in an unrivaled hero’s journey. If he is to survive, Harmon must discover his power to fight evil on the immense stage of “The Celestial Wars.”
Angels and fallen angels, devils and demons, good and bad gods, dwarves and elves, misunderstood dragons, a super-powered supporting cast of memorable characters, and one flawed but lovable superhero—these action-packed adventures take readers on a roller coaster ride down dark supernatural highways.
AUTHOR’S NOTE:
The big question for existing fans of “The Celestial Wars” has to be, why revise a series already averaging 4.5 stars on Amazon, Audible, and Goodreads?
The truth is my narrator and I fell in love with these stories. After three years and six novels, we are that much better at our respective crafts, so we put in the extra effort (paragraph by paragraph) to ensure “The Celestial Wars” withstands the test of time.
Hope you enjoy! ~ John Campbell & Dan Johnson

Education Aggravation by Leslie K. Brooks
A retired teacher’s take on our failing education system from the inside. Honest and controversial, Education Aggravation examines the roles of the various actors and elements: students, teachers, parents, administration, politicians, money, media and technology.
What is happening in our schools? Do schools prepare students for “real” life? How? Who calls the shots?
Students advance from grade to grade without learning how to read or decode. How is that possible? Parents have trouble with 3rd grade math. Why is that? Technology is doing the critical thinking for our students. Snap! The importance of lifelong learning needs to be stressed in the households, the schools and on social media.
Instead of throwing blind money at a never-ending fix and just passing students from grade to grade, we need to re-examine our goals for them from the ground up. The student is supposed to be the focus. Only by looking at the cultural dynamics molding our students and using the tools at our disposal (one being our brains) to develop their ability to think on their own can we help them navigate their individual success in an unknown future.

About the Book
A shadow bank is a non-depository financial institution that provides services similar to traditional commercial banks but operates under exemptions from normal banking regulations. Investment banks, private equity and hedge funds are examples of a few types of shadow banks. They create debt and equity capital across the global financial system.
The highest level of financial expertise and sophistication is captured by shadow banks… expertise that affords these institutions the ability to not only structure investments that outperform anything available to the public, but more importantly, to create almost infinite capital at will. Over the past half century, shadow bank’s esoteric expertise has fueled the explosive growth of the financial services industry that has corrupted the principles of free markets through regulatory capture and the Federal Reserve itself.

About Featured Book: Zoratama The Muisca Princess by Jaime Bedoya Martinez
The history of pre-Hispanic South America is prolific in narratives of violence perpetuated, in battle and commerce, to an indigenous population. Mostly for the sake of feeding a perverse avarice and yearning for indulgence that was the fashion for Old World society at the time, this conquering force overcame great odds and difficulties to satisfy their greed for material treasure. They consequently took out their frustration and discomfort on these communities. Their occupation exhibited the brutality of a society desperate to pay their debts and build their riches with whatever could be extracted from other people, foreign lands.
Disregarded by history are the stories of the daily life of these indigenous people as they built true humane societies and developed myths to satisfy their curiosities of the workings of their natural world.
What has been lost to history is the spark of wonder when the European encountered the native for the first time, in submission rather than domination. Zoratama is that glimpse, told in the passion of a conquistador for a native beauty. The story is a tragedy of the forbidden, unprecedented and one that passion, eroticism, could not resolve. Love defeated by one of the many sins which motivated Europe to its genocidal tendencies. Ultimately it is not devotion to another being which drove the history, but rather devotion to the unknown.
Jaime Bedoya Martinez’s Zoratama constructs the structure for modern Hispanic society through the unrealistic passion of consorts of divergent worlds. His belief that the legacy of the Muisca has been abandoned is true, for beyond anthropological and archeological studies explaining in detail the life, religion, society of these people, little credit is given to their contributions to current culture.
And the assimilation, whether military or societal, of these cultures is anything but polite; the Spaniards greedy and brutal, the Muisca resolute and tribal.
Mr. Bedoya beautifully builds an alternate storyline which ultimately argues that commitment to passion and transcendence has no boundaries. Zoratama, the Muisca princess, and Lázaro Fonte, the Spanish conquistador, construct a love story for the ages, replete with spiritual integration and an offspring of a new race.
Ultimately, the writer in his true fashion destroys this love, immersed in the tragic myths of both races, in an absurd annihilation of people, family, emotion and sentiment because the ironic metaphor that evolves is the incarnation of a new race, culture and historical footprint.

Have you set your confident tone yet? Here is your positive affirmation for today:
I am successful in whatever I do.
Carbons within food nutrients (carbohydrates, protein, lipids) are stable because they are bonded (held) to hydrogen (by electrons). When food is broken down in your stomach (during digestion), the electrons holding the carbons together within the food are released (the process is called oxidation of food). As a result, the carbon becomes unstable and forms free radicals. These highly reactive molecules target different organs and cells, damaging the cellular DNA, proteins, and other molecules. Have you wondered about the consequence of DNA damage by free radicals? Does the body have a way to control the excess of free radicals? Can our choices of food aid the body’s ability to optimally fight these free radicals? How ironic is it that your attempt to eat for energy results in the generation of free radicals potentially damaging your body cells?
Do you know your DNA gets shorter every time the cells replicate to make daughter cells? This happens in your body cells because they are generally deficient in special enzymes needed to extend the ends of your DNA. On the other hand, your stem cells have these enzymes in abundance, called telomerase. This enzyme also affects the speed and severity of ageing of our bodies? Learn about these two factors; free radicals and the shortening of DNA; how they affect aging, and how you could counter the actions of the former.
Dr. Prince N. Agbedanu is a dedicated Professor of Genetics and Biochemistry. After years of teaching concepts in these fields, he has developed a passion for communicating the content and understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms to a wide range of the public in the most relatable form. This oxidation vs. free radical production piece focuses on clarifying the concept of oxidation, free radical production, and the key way to curb their effect and promote cell integrity. His other upcoming pieces include “The Vegan’s Choice, an epigenetic software” and “the natural way to fight antibiotic resistance”.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
It is essential that we all understand what happens to food when it is broken down in our system. Although we acquire energy in the process, unstable molecules are also produced, which could result in diseases when produced in excess. It is essential that everyone understands the mechanisms by which antioxidants work to curb the effect of these free radicals. By becoming familiar with these mechanisms, we will become more intentional about the consumption of antioxidant-containing foods and consequently avoid unnecessary diseases that could be prevented.

About the Book
Before you can embrace your full psychic potential, you first need to unlock the true secrets to coping as an empath
Have you been told you are just “too sensitive” your whole life?
Are you an emotional victim to all sorts of people who leech off you, drain you, and leave you feeling raw?
Do you know deep down that your empathic abilities are actually a gift, but you have no idea how to get past the pain and access it fully?
Just dealing with the normal range of your own emotions is already hard enough, so when you’re an empath, being exposed to the emotions and energy of everyone around you can be extremely confusing and overwhelming.
And the worst thing is that empaths often suffer a range of emotional, mental, and sometimes even physical trauma before they learn how to protect themselves and work with this amazing ability safely.

When drunk teenagers add letters to the Welcome to Nower County sign, making it Welcome to NowHerE County, nobody repaints it. Why bother? Everyone knows they live in the middle of nowhere.

And can Abby survive one more ride on the Jabberwock?

Inferno! by Tom Gormley
INFERNO! reveals the true story of the December 2021 Boulder County Marshall fire and the many events that can only be described as miracles that occur during and after. Interviews, local history and pictures convey the turmoil, tragedy and drama of this nightmare. These stories are intertwined with the police and fire dispatch broadcasts and public announcements to provide a timeline of the fire and its aftermath. With it, readers get a better understanding of how first responders attacked the fire, how the communities reacted, and how they are recovering. It also provides an overview of government responses and offers informational guidance on how to prepare for an emergency nearby.
The December 30, 2021, Marshall Fire outside of Boulder will be remembered as the most destructive inferno in Colorado history and one of the top fifteen worst fires in the western U.S. In a little over four hours, the fire, fueled by high velocity Chinook winds, burns 6,026 acres, consumes 1,084 structures, and causes over $2 billion in damage. Over 37,500 residents evacuate. And yet miraculously, only two persons are killed and eight injured during the fire. Scenes during the fire are surreal with one house engulfed in flames while its neighbor sits quietly next-door displaying Christmas lights. The fury of the wind decides what burns and what stands untouched.
This is the story of the inferno, the heroes who fight it, the area history, the fire recovery, and the many miracles that happen along the way.

Heat/Violence Level: Heat Level 2 – PG
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
After getting to know M'Kenzee in her siblings' love stories (Books 1 and 2 in the series), I knew her journey needed to be a deeply emotional quest that both challenged and completed the strong, yet conflicted, young woman. Once I knew who her true love needed to be in Book 2, the story and unique format just happened. It's my most engaging character and most thought-provoking book to date.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
M'Kenzee was introduced as a secondary character in Book 1: Grocery Girl, and Bren was introduced in Book 2: In the Trenches. They have a complicated history, and while we see glimpses and subtle foreshadowing, we don't really get the gist of their relationship until the first chapter in Book 3: Three Times to Make Sure. Playing with the theme of threes for Book 3, and using the journals as a voice for a missing hero, this romance is full of heart-tugging emotion and a great chance to get to know the Davenport family even better!

About Featured Book: Symposium of the Reaper by Andrew Adams
Symposium of the Reaper is a horror anthology featuring 13 short stories written in distinctive styles. Traversing graveyards, comedy clubs, and art class, the compilation is a collection that leaves the reader guessing at what is coming next. This anthology was forged from the variety of Tales From the Crypt and the anarchic spirit of the Evil Dead franchise and would be a good fit for those who grew up loving Goosebumps books, but would have preferred if some of them were rated R rather than PG.

At the beginning of the pandemic, I started hosting gently-guided writing sprints on Zoom. Each sprint was two-hours long and I would give writers a new writing prompt every 15 minutes. Well, after two years of hosting these sprints, I had accumulated THOUSANDS of writing prompts. I decided I should do something with them. So I assembled and revised my favorite prompts and suddenly I had Pop Prompts: 200 Writing Prompts Inspired By Popular Music.

About the Book
When her magic brings assassins to her door, the mysterious metalsmith might be her only escape.
Secreted away nine years ago, Ffion Ainsley now leads a quiet life, hidden away in the mortal realm. Until her dormant magic begins to manifest.
When a charming and persistent shop owner tempts her from her solitude on the very day a hunter drags a dead wolf into town, Ffion’s magic erupts. With a brush of her fingers, the wolf awakens amid a crowd of villagers. Drawing the attention of assassins, Ffion narrowly escapes with a mysterious man who knows her true identity. Together they flee, returning to the Fae kingdom of Tremaene across the sea.
But her home isn’t as she remembers. The once lush land is barren. An army of rebels resides in a mountain stronghold. And a young high-priestess wields the crown. But things are far worse than they appear, and the truth will force Ffion to confront the past she’s long hidden from.
Will her untamed magic protect her? Does she have the courage to claim what’s rightfully hers? And will it be enough to save those she left behind nine years ago?

Every Third Night is an eye-opening yet poignant novel set in a busy, dehumanizing, and unyielding New York City residency program in Obstetrics and Gynecology in 1984. It brings the the reader into the real world of medicine at a time of limited supervision and brutal duty hours through the vantage point of young physicians enduring stressful conflicts and volatile relationships.
Jimmy Zito seemingly has it all- strikingly handsome, brilliant clinical skills, and a talented teacher- but a troubled past and a rash of new demands leave him struggling to survive in his last month of training. He desperately tries to guide his fellow residents through their own personal traumas but is not as prepared to handle the pressure as others might think, especially considering the unchecked aberrant behavior of attending physicians, the highly emotional demands of Ob-Gyn, and the turmoil surrounding an ultra-needy girlfriend and stubborn father.
As the Jimmy and his colleagues grapple with the overwhelming friction of their circumstances, the intertwined subplots collide and come crashing down when a haunting mishap leaves the residency program reeling and Jimmy’s life forever transformed.

This novel was inspired my by own tumultuous experience in residency training and the inherent abuse that continues to pervade the hierarchy of medical education. It is a story that needed to be told to both the lay public to understand how the system abuses our brightest and our best as well to all physicians who had to endure such hardships.

About the Book
I know what you did last summer.
Aubree Walker, the perfect girl most likely to succeed, is sure there’s only one person who knows what she did.
Booker Outlaw, one of the three Outlaw brothers–all identical, all gorgeous, all from the wrong side of the tracks, and all pure bad boys. He was always the unpredictable one, the one who would be brash enough to make it big self-publishing horror novels on the internet. He promised never to tell, but everyone knows you can never trust an Outlaw.
Then a year later, in the middle of the night, she receives a phone call at Tulane. Her aunt, who took her in after her mother’s death, is in a coma under suspicious circumstances. Now she has to face that one person who knows all about what she did that summer–sexy Booker.
Returning to Hope Parish to be with her aunt, stirs up all those ugly memories. When Aubree starts getting threats, she can’t help but wonder if what she did last summer was tied to her aunt’s “accident.”Afraid, she turns to the only person who knows the truth and Booker doesn’t hesitate to offer his broad shoulder for her to lean on. But Booker has a secret of his own that could crush their fledgling relationship.
As the hot, sultry summer days move on, she finds that even a perfectly smart girl can lose her heart to a perfectly bad boy. What is she going to do when someone starts asking questions Aubree doesn’t want to answer? She’s knee deep into a terribly dangerous, wholly life changing, who-can-she-really-depend-on perfect mess.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
My lifelong fascination with writing fantasy stories began in my early teen years when I happened upon the roleplaying game Dungeons & Dragons (D & D).
For years, I wrote adventures for my friends, but it was only in the past few years I decided to share them with the world at large, beginning with my first book, Servant of the Crown.
I now have four series based in my fantasy world of Eiddenwerthe and look forward to sharing many more tales with my readers.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The two main characters in this series are NPC's (Non-player characters) from my D & D campaign. I always felt there was more to their story, so I created The Frozen Flame series.

Rockstars, nuns, and vampires…
Seeking fortune and fame, Nikki and her band head to St. Louis, Missouri. Hard on cash and in need of paying gigs, they hole up and practice in a closed, rundown high school owned by nuns. What could go wrong?

About the book:
Retired lawyer Sanders Pierce would rather spend his time painting at his art gallery, but when a former colleague, now general counsel at a major health benefits firm, asks him to investigate potential internal deceptions, he can’t resist. Mostly because the amount she offers for his contract work is too good to pass up.
He insists he will abide by the standard of law, which could expose the firm’s fiduciary conduct as arbitrary and capricious.
Assigned to a small office in the lower floor of corporate headquarters, he interviews various employees and studies flowcharts. At first no one reveals much of concern, until he receives an email from a mysterious source with a grim warning: Nothing is what it seems.
As Sanders digs deeper—and receives more cryptic messages—he meets others he didn’t expect: an exotic dancer at a strip club, a psychotherapist who could be a dominatrix, and someone who tries to assassinate him.
What has he gotten himself into? What started as arbitrary and capricious is now dangerous, and Sanders has to escape without getting himself killed.

Shorty Story: The Kiosk
I hope your day is filled with wonderful experiences. Today’s positive affirmation can help:
I always find ways to get back on track.
You know that stress inventory you can take? You get one point each for a long list of disastrous life events? Let’s just say I have lost count. In the last year alone I’ve lost my husband (and his brother), sold our home, moved across the country, quietly quit my job, watched my closest friend-slash-sister-in-law move out of the country, and… well, I guess that’s it. Could be worse, right? So, here I am. My name is Holland Gallagher and I’m a twenty-seven-year-old MBA with no job and a broken heart.
Which, of course, is when my best friend-slash-mother-in-law Naomi introduces me to her oldest and dearest friend, Kai Ipu. He’s the empirically attractive Black-slash-Samoan CEO of a corporate consulting firm (think a started-in-his-dorm-room company with an eye to making corporations better citizens of the world). But I’m a mess and he’s significantly older than I am. So, I don’t have to worry about that, right? You’d think. He just invited me to join his company. I’m never one to turn down a challenge… so, here goes everything.
Loosely based on the Bible book of Ruth (but with f-bombs from Kai, Holland’s drunken confessions of adoration, and one spicy sex scene), Holland, My Heart is the first in a collection of biblical women’s stories retold as contemporary romance. Holland, My Heart is an MF, dual POV, love-after-loss, sexy, witty standalone romance.
Targeted Age Group:: 18+
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
When the world shut down in March 2020, I was living in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with a plethora of rescue dogs. (In case you’re wondering, a plethora is two dogs more than a pack. This is not science, but it is nonetheless a fact.) In the absence of anyone but my roommate and our canines, I started writing a novel based on one of my favorite stories: the book of Ruth.
For as long as I can remember, the story of Ruth and Naomi has resonated with me.
Something about Ruth’s devotion to her mother-in-law grabbed my heart and would not let go. As I spent twenty months with this text, I realized my own mother is the reason I am so connected to this story. As a military brat raised by a military brat, I can say with certainty wherever my mom goes, I will go. And yet, she also taught me that anywhere I am, she is with me. When you regularly have to pick up everything to move thousands of miles away, you learn to keep the important people in your heart.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Holland is based on the biblical character Ruth. I actually named this character Hannah at first. I had written much of the dialogue when my write-or-die BFF Arlys Avery pointed out that if I named her Hannah, I’d never be able to write about Hannah in 1 Samuel. Oh!
So I wanted to find another H name because I liked how Naomi kept calling her “my heart”. Somewhere along the line, I decided her family name would be Amster and her young mother would have not looked very long for a name to go with Amster. So Holland it was. Of course, now that I have named my character Holland, I hear her name everywhere. Most notably, Tyler Hynes’s new Hallmark Movies & Mysteries holiday movie co-star Holland Roden. If she wants to volunteer to play Holland Gallagher in a screen adaptation, I will not be mad about it! She was great in "It’s Time for Him to Come Home for Christmas".

About the Book
“Peace Dreamer” won the Gold Seal of Excellence judged by the Nonfiction Authors Association for its thought-provoking content, intuitive life coaching, spiritually awakening philosophy, user-friendly self-care techniques, and “peace begins with me” experiential healing exercises. As I wrote this book, I wondered, “Who are my precious readers? What are their life stories, struggles and strengths? What is their history with prejudice and how has it influenced their thoughts and feelings on words like peace, diversity, equality, justice, and love? Do they think peace is possible, or have they given up?” I know I’m not alone with my dreams and doubts, weaknesses and strengths, fears and resilience, courage and exhaustion. I also know I’m not alone in believing that each of us has the power to make a positive difference in someone’s life and to be the soul of peace and love even during the darkest times. I wrote Peace Dreamer from the part of my spirit that believes in the goodness of people. I am here to feed your spirit with optimism and healing tools that will gently add to your personal growth journey. I am also here to ask you to never give up on yourself or the world no matter how messy life becomes.
“The author is one of the most evolved souls in our world and her loving way of relating to the reader will bathe you with endless possibilities.” Barbara Gaughen Muller, United Nations President, Santa Barbara, California.
“Cheryl Melody Baskin writes with infectious sincerity, passion, and earnestness. Her expressions jump off the page, drawing the reader into her circle and giving them the almost-experience of being in the same room with her. Inner discovery tools, soul-searching meaning, creative self-care techniques, and carefully chosen affirmations are all shared generously. Thoughtful questions, journal prompts, and activities (called the “Look Within” process) are sprinkled throughout to help readers navigate their own private battles as well as contribute to the larger mission of creating a vibration of love, peace and hope even in the face of a chaotic world scene. Peace Dreamer will make you pause, take deep breaths, meditate, feel, and heal. Even better, it will help you to help others do the same. What a breathtakingly special book!” – Nonfiction Authors Association
5-star Amazon review. “Whether you are in a good place in your life, facing difficult memories from your past or dealing with present anxieties, you can bet on this book to lead you through your life one step at a time. Use this book more than once to continue your self-discovery journey. Her tone is inclusive and compassionate, and she has a unique way of engaging readers with words that resonate in their hearts and logic that appeals to their minds. ” Peace Dreamer will help you understand what “peace begins with me” really means, and how to feel hope for yourself and for the world.”
5-star Amazon review. “Peace Dreamer” touched me to the core. It invites readers to grow to the full stature of their humanity by tapping into the core values that define who they are — social beings that can create spaces of meaningful encounters with others. At a time when peace is badly needed, this book shows a path that leads humanity to that place where hope drives their actions, where the desire for peace becomes the pulse of every heart, and where love is a quality by which we are identified.”

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The trouble started when I adopted two unbelievably charming calicos and fell in love! They were so furry and funny I had to let others know about them. After that I began to focus much of my creative efforts on pets in general. I created a “cat series” for a local community TV station featuring therapy cats, cat reiki, fat cats and some unusual cat sanctuaries. After that I began volunteering my photography help to local. shelters which. helped with pet adoption. Once I started a blog and Facebook page for my“stars,” Peaches and Paprika, things took off on their own. They now entertain over 13,000 followers with their colorful antics, repartee and photo cartoons on their Facebook page.
Some of the unusual holidays (cat and human) celebrated by photo-cartoons in her Celebrations series, include “Dress Up Your Pet Day,” “Faux Fur Friday,” “Meow Like a Pirate Day,” “Hug Your Cat Day,” and “Cat World Domination Day.”
Peaches and Paprika's fans are not left out of the fun. The readers and fellow cat-lovers enthusiastically participate and often join Peaches & Paprika in special parades, slideshows and other holiday events. Recent video celebrations include National Kite Flying Day, "Gurrrl Cats Beauty Pageant," “Kitty Mama” Day and" Undercover Cats." The “Meowleen” video and “Catmas” parade are annual events as is a “Kitty Memorial Day” in May, honoring those felines who have crossed the bridge.

About the book:
You can’t build a house without strong foundations… and you can’t form a solid bond with your horse without a strong foundational relationship and fundamental training in place.
Horse ownership opens the door to companionship, happiness, and stress relief.
But to benefit from all of these things, you need to have a true bond with your horse…
And you need to be able to trust that they have all the foundational skills they need to keep you – and them – safe.
Esteemed trainer Monty Roberts makes the distinction between ‘starting’ a horse and ‘breaking’ a horse.
Breaking a horse has connotations of wearing down the animal’s spirit in order to achieve dominance, whereas starting a horse focuses on cooperation and building a partnership.
This is the key to successful horsemanship… and that means beginning from the ground up: It means laying those strong foundations and nurturing a real relationship with your horse so that they respect you as the dominant partner.
Everything you need to know in order to do just that is right at your fingertips.

It is hard to over emphasize the value of early intervention for children on the spectrum. Although written in a grandparent’s voice, the book provides directions for parents and care givers who want to support the child. The child’s future cannot wait for an official diagnosis. Our diagnosis did not arrive until over a year after we had begun early intervention. I believe you should start as soon as you begin having concerns about what you are experiencing with the child. If the child is not on the spectrum, you have still begun good practices to support the child. The book is a compilation of live links and articles to get you started on your journey. For the child’s sake, you cannot afford to be behind on knowledge. Early intervention.
When it came to learning and understanding what autism is and is not, and how to appropriately support our child; we had to dig out every word on our own. Where do we go? Where do I find this? How do I do that? What does stimming mean?
After six years with a lovely grandson on the spectrum, I decided families needed an early intervention a roadmap. With luck, someone smarter than me will write a better one.
The links embedded in the book are live so you can go directly to the resources or articles I have cited.
I am not a therapist or clinician, but I have spent years accumulating information to help my grandson. Information I wish I had had the day he was diagnosed.

About Featured Book: Christmas with my Best Friend’s Brothers by Kai Lesy
I should have declined my bestie’s invite to the Bishop’s annual Christmas skiing trip.
In the breathtaking French Alps….
With the even more breathtaking Bishop triplets.
After catching my ex-fiancé cheating,
It was either going on the exotic trip…
Or spending Christmas alone.
Why was this a bad idea?
My roommates include three bullies who gave me the worst moments of my childhood.
To make matters worse, they’ve grown into three irritating, hot-as-sin MEN.
Oh, and did I mention… they’re my bestie’s triplet brothers?
The ball begins to drop when I catch one of them naked and dripping wet in the shower.
Suddenly I lose all self restraint and ALL hell breaks loose.
When the triplets touch my skin I’m on fire.
Every sensual thing they whisper in my ear is intoxicating.
I want them all more than I fear the consequences.
Consequences like this one….
“Can you repeat that doctor?”
“There’s zero chance of knowing who the father is. Identical triplets share almost identical sets of DNA.”
Oh h*ll. How did the get myself into this mess?

About Featured Book: The Billionaire’s Pet by Ivy Layne
Abigail
I was in big trouble. The biggest. Running out of time, I turned to him. Jacob Winters promised he’d solve all my problems. All I had to do was become his pet. With some men, that kind of deal might have been a nightmare. Jacob Winters was a dream come true.
I was raised to be a lady, not a man’s plaything. But with Jacob, I almost had it all; pleasure like I’d never known and protection from the danger stalking me. Was it greedy to want more? I had his body, but I wanted his heart.
I told myself it was just sex. We were providing each other a mutual service, nothing more. Right? I couldn’t possibly be foolish enough to fall in love with him.
Jacob
I must have been crazy. I’d wanted Abigail for years, I won’t deny it. But I don’t pursue married women, and her husband was a disaster waiting to happen. Everything about Abigail warned me to steer clear, including the lady herself. Some women might cheat, but not her. Abigail was too noble for her own good. Beautiful and untouchable. Then her husband was murdered and every dark shadow he’d held back came after Abigail at once.
She was on the run, and I was the only man who could save her. The best things come to men who wait, and I’d been waiting. Abigail was mine. I didn’t want a girlfriend. I definitely didn’t need a wife. I just wanted her. In my home. In my bed. I was going to own every inch of her elegantly curved body. I’d keep her for as long as I wanted her, and then we’d both walk away. What could possibly go wrong?

About Featured Book: Limitless – Complete Series by Lucia Jordan
The day Keri Ann Williams graduated high school was the day she lit out of Raven’s Bend like the hounds of hell were on her heels, and as far as she was concerned, they were. Fifteen years is a long time to be away from where you grew up, but in Keri’s case, it wasn’t long enough. Now, she must make the journey back to her hometown to deal with her father’s estate and put old ghosts to rest once and for all. Her plan of attack; get in, get done, and get the hell out. Maybe if she kept her head down, no one would notice her. It was a good plan until she ran into them, Jase Tyler and Courtland Shaw. The source of her teenage torment—one of them more than the other. Only now, they were different. There is something about them that was pulling her in. She wanted to refuse them but found it hard to resist Court’s dazzling charm and Jase’s brooding, darkness. Will the pain from the past be enough to keep her away or will the wicked temptation blaze her a path directly back into hell?

About Featured Book: Stevie Tenderheart My Favorite Place to Be (A Bedtime Story) by Steve William Laible
Stevie Tenderheart My Favorite Place to Be (A Bedtime Story)
Summary: Based on a True Story. In this version, the author elevated the wildly popular ‘picture book’ to a full-color, illustrated, 6 x 9″ paperback novella (for older children).
Stories within stories of gladness and adventure abound in this sweetly crafted and splendidly illustrated storybook about a little boy who loves his bed SO much, he wishes he could take it everywhere he goes.
Author Insights:
The author uses a little misdirection (or leg-pulling) in his books, which is his nature, coming from a comic strip background. He feels this adds to the flavor and fun of his bedtime stories immensely. He believes his tongue-in-cheek writing style resonates with children’s funny bones.

April’s Heart by Shilah Ferr
Autumn 1977. Thirteen year old cheerleader April Schweiter falls hard for Mitch Hudgins, putting an end to childhood and changing her life forever. April embarks on a coming of age journey full of angst and unanswered questions. And her dysfunctional family is only one of the problems in her way.
Classmate and wrestler Mitch Hudgins can’t get enough of April either. She stirs in him surprising passion that is new, unfamiliar and needs to be explored.
But they say goodbye when they attend schools in different towns, far away from each other. Surely staying together wouldn’t have a chance of working out. But they were crazy for each other! Would breaking up have a chance of working out?
“You guys are the nicest friends anyone could have!” April choked down a sob. She was still emotional at the realization of the future of her romance with the guy who took her virginity, the guy who once told her he loved her, the guy she fought for, the guy with whom she was really very happy with. She was heartbroken but didn’t know it yet.
This romance novel is the story of young love, hot and heavy, with all the drama of high school in the eighties. The ebook contains almost 40 Spotify music links on all the songs in the story, taking you there.
“What are we going to do Mitch?” April whispered.
“I don’t know April, I just don’t see how…” This time it was April who kissed him. She didn’t want him to say what he was going to say. Mitch didn’t want to say it anyway. They wanted things to stay the way they were, but that was impossible.
Find out what happens to the star crossed lovers with the on again, off again romance riddled with breakups.
Targeted Age Group:: This book is appropriate for those 16 and older.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
My writing journey started as I pondered if I had a book in me while I took my daily “power walks” around and around my neighborhood. I thought about the diaries and scrapbooks I kept while growing up, that were sitting up in my attic. Surely all that documentation would be useful.
One day while on my walk, I had the idea to take all the romances I had back in the day, and turn it into one long relationship. Once I had that idea, I was good to go!
To write the best story possible, I realized that being completely authentic was of paramount importance. I remember a famous fiction author saying that although her story is fiction, there is nothing in it that didn’t really happen in real life. That is completely true of April’s Heart as well.
I felt everything I wrote had to be pretty much exactly the way it was. The big things and the small. This made the writing a little easier because I had such a strong picture in my mind, right down to the hand gestures of a character. I wanted my readers to have the same picture in their heads as I did in mine. That was really important to me.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
April Schweiter is loosely modeled after myself, so I cast April as a cheerleader just as I was myself back in the day. Although a work of fiction, April’s Heart follows the basic outline of my own life and the authenticity of the character's thoughts, feelings and actions were extremely important to me as I wrote it. When thinking about what makes April tick, you realize April has a strong desire for love and popularity. Her mother is standing in her way of creating a social life. April feels she has no choice but find a way anyhow, even if it means breaking rules and risky behavior.
April is me, and the relationship between April and her mother IS the relationship I had with my mother. Much of my personality is reflected in April, again relying on true and realistic details that helped create an authentic story to the point of feeling butterflies or shedding tears. I remember wavering between exuding confidence, then feeling unsure, questioning the motives and intentions of others. I remember getting in trouble at home, blaming only my mother, not how my own actions contributed to the problem, feeling oppressed by her. And as realistically as I could portray, April learns, grows and matures in much the same way as I did.
Book Sample
Mitch and April made plans to meet at the pool. He waited for her just inside the entrance structure, in the shade. She walked up in her string bikini top and cut off jean shorts. The fly was splayed open, a sexy little look that exposed a little more of her tight belly.
Holy crap! God love her, thought Mitch feeling his erection beginning already. She saw him leaning against the wall on his hands. April said goodbye to Janet who walked through the entrance and into the brightness of the sunshine to find her friends.
April walked up to Mitch, and seeing his hair in his face, pushed her hand through his hair for him. It was such an intimate gesture. No words were spoken. Her hands in his hair was her way of saying hello.
Quick as a wink he had switched places with her and had her up against the wall. They looked into each other's eyes. They were desirous for each other in the worst way. April's heart was pounding in her chest. She was nervous. It had been such a long time. He put his hand over her heart to feel it, confirming for April that if your heart beats loud enough, another person CAN hear it. She filled her lungs with air taking a deep breath. He moved his hands behind her neck and kissed her, passionately, for a small moment breathing her in. They were standing in a public place.
"We gotta get out of here," Mitchell said.
"No swimming?" April teased. He paused for a moment, not sure if she was serious or not. After all, they hadn't seen or spoken to each other in a long time. Maybe he was getting ahead of himself.
Hmmm, April in the pool all wet, Mitchell hardened at the thought. He recalled a dream he had like that. April in the ocean. He came in his sleep that night.
He looked at her to read her face. She cocked her head to the side and smiled. God love her, he told himself for the second time in twenty minutes. He smiled at her, grabbed her hand, and walked back out the entrance. They never even made it into the sunshine of the huge pool deck. Maybe they knew it all along, but they had other plans. They walked back to Mitchell's house. His parents were at work as usual.

About the book:
Ember Ngata only wants two things out of life: to be reunited with her sisters, and to see people return to her café.

As one of the last Whakamanu—a descendant of the Maori bird-god Tane—she holds on to the secrets of her decimated tribe. Family first.
TV personality and host of the popular show Back Road Eats, Austin Garten needs more in his life than Breadbasket America grilling.

He wants her.
The Solstice, the Maori New Year, is fast approaching, and with the heat in her kitchen ratcheting up, Ember realizes she can’t keep her secret for much longer. But will Austin be able to accept her? Or will her secret drive them apart?

“A fascinating collection … as a fellow physician I thank Dr. Diamond and honor him for his courage and and honesty in sharing his life, wisdom and experience with us.”
— Bernie Siegel, M.D., Author of “Love, Medicine & Miracles,” and “Prescriptions for Living”
“The loving and healing words in this incredible book by John Diamond have catapulted me to a new level of life energy. Diamond is a genius among healers. He needs to be more broadly read and appreciated for the depth and breadth of his knowledge of the human healing process. His emphasis on the special power of the creative arts and his semi-autobiographical style in this book place him in the pantheon of the most profound and influential healers in contemporary medicine.”
— Richard Lippin, M.D., Founder, International Arts-Medicine Assn. and Founder, American Physician’s Poetry Assn.
“John Diamond has produced another book that goes deep to the heart of healing and is intrinsically therapeutic. The appeal of this book lies in the extent to which Dr. Diamond bares his own soul, facets of himself, in his work of healing. The link between creative expression, especially music, and the art of healing was never better symbolized. This is a book filled with spirituality, with poetic metaphor, and with a deep love of humanity.”
— John Graham-Pole, Medical Director, Arts in Medicine, University of Florida
“Diamond provides a fascinating introduction to the world of preventative medicine. … An important essay on wellness for our modern age of chronic dispositions. … John Diamond is a pearl of a writer, and in the sheer comprehensiveness of one man’s soul lies all our health.”
— Jay Bail, The Book Reader

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I wanted to write a story that dealt with child abuse because it is a subject not talked about enough. I wanted to give an inside look behind closed doors of a situation many children face in real life. I also wanted to share hope and the fact that situations can change when people step in and help.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I thought of children who would be strong and resilient and would resonate with people. I chose parents that would be seen as villains and evil and that the children would rise up against them and triumph over the abuse. I also chose strong, warm, and compassionate people to help the children out of their situation into a new life.

About the Book
Daniel Manley did not experience a single moment of human kindness when cast out as a child onto the merciless cobblestone streets of 19th century London.
One unsympathetic evening, while he lay cold and alone in a dark alley, he pleaded for death over living his abhorrent life a single moment longer. Upon taking his last gasp of frigid air, a mysterious voice emanates from the alley’s darkest corner, stopping his despair. Daniel scans the darkness for the voices’ origination.
His fear turned to optimism as he takes solace in the words spoken by his newfound savior, ‘Father.’ Guided by Fathers, ‘sound advice,’ Daniel does his bidding, reigning terror on all who cause societies ruination.
Is Father a figment of his imagination or is he possessed by a dark beast that feeds on his unanswered prayers?

Paranormal Ghost Romance ~ Psychics ~ Supernatural Suspense ~ Haunted House
She’s an electrician starting over with her son. New job. New town. New life. He’s a coworker who’s interested in more than her ability to run conduit. The building they’re rewiring was once an insane asylum…but it appears some of the patients never left.
Mercedes Donohue pulled up roots in Atlanta when her marriage imploded. She’s come back to New England, to the place where she was born. Mercy’s focus is to stabilize her teenage son’s life—he took the breakup pretty hard—and to establish her place, gain the respect of Progressive Electrical’s team. She never expected so many sparks to fly so soon, both on the job and after hours.
Daniel Gallagher has been alone since his fiancé’s death. He’ll never feel that way about any woman again, and certainly won’t try with another independent, strong-willed one. Then Mercy short-circuits his plans.
Although the asylum closed its doors over thirty-five years ago, Mercy & Daniel quickly realize the abandoned building is very haunted. If you like a heart-melting romance laced with healthy dose of supernatural thrills and chills, you’ll love Electricity.

Malsham: now filled with romantic, sexual, and criminal lives.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Years ago, I was working on a novel A Dark Love on Booksie and Wattpad about a Caribbean folklore and mythological character called the Ladjablès, I had no idea how I wanted to tell her story so the novel was unfinished. Then the year before last I wrote a Patreon article about the Ladjablès and I knew I wanted to tell her story.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
My characters come from Caribbean folklore, African diaspora religion, and real-life people. Some of my characters are a mixture of several people that I have encountered throughout my life, their characteristics in the novel are exaggerated though and you can see that some of the characters are a mixture of three to four people.

Targeted Age Group:: 12 and up
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I was inspired to write this book due to two things: 1) My over 25 years of experience as a leader in ministry and the marketplace and 2) a strong desire to come alongside leaders of all ages and contexts and help them grow and excel as leaders.
Book Sample
Where Are Our Leaders?
One does not have to strain too intently to see that our world is in dire need of quality and credible leaders. In every field of endeavor there appears to be a collective cry of “Who will lead us?” The necessity for good leaders is both a biblical and historical one. Whether in the church or families, businesses, government, or other organizations, we understand that entities and institutions rise and fall based on their leaders’ effectiveness. Whether national, locally, or personally, good leadership is needed in times of crisis and chaos. People need to know where to turn, who to follow. The question of “Who will lead us?” also implies a concern for the quality and character of those who lead.
The incidences of leadership failure for a whole host of reasons are numerous. We have witnessed leadership failure in the Church and at the highest levels of our nation’s government, with tremendous repercussions and implications. From sports to entertainment and beyond, the examples and actions of those who have failed to live up to the high standards of leading well are plenteous and glaring.
In the absence of quality leaders, we experience a leadership vacuum where people are inclined to do things independently or with little collaboration. People may work in groups but with little coordinated effort or effectiveness when the way forward is not clearly defined. Also, leaders may exist who are perhaps ineffective and weak and, in turn, not respected by those seeking guidance. When that is the case, people are inclined to do what benefits them while continuing to ask, “Who will lead us?” The implications of this are dramatically affecting many. Just as nature abhors a vacuum, people detest a lack of credible leaders.
It is an undeniable reality that when leadership fails, in any aspect of life, followers are decimated, scattered, and become open prey for whatever may take advantage of them. The Lord Jesus Christ speaks to this in Matthew 9:36. Upon seeing the multitude, He is “moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.” Moved with pity and sympathy for these leaderless people, Jesus is touched by their condition. They were bewildered, harassed, distressed, dejected, and helpless. Having no shepherd meant they had no leader. And in the absence of credible, quality leadership, lawlessness abounds.
The need for leaders to lead well is evident for many reasons, and for them to remain credible, they must embody and exemplify certain timeless qualities. #LeadWell seeks to highlight those leadership qualities for readers to reflect on and study over a 31-day period. Some readers may discover some completely new ideas along the way. Others may meet some old traveling companions with which to get reacquainted. In either case, it is hoped that the book will inspire you to grow in ways to take on board qualities that are vital to leading well. One of the considerable benefits of this kind of growth is that it will make you better aware of patterns of behavior to avoid, and if you have fallen into any, how to overcome them.
Leadership development is a process and not an event. Being effective as a leader over the long term requires continued growth. It is what a leader learns, does, and passes on each day that will keep unlocking his or her full potential as a leader. In order to remain effective and productive, leaders must continue to grow in quality ways. This 31-day devotional for leadership development is the “sowing of seed” with the expectation of “a harvest” that will result in you leading well.
This book is not a light version of devotional reading. #LeadWell intends to make you dig deep and supplement your regular devotional time. One of the ways I hope you will do that is to go beyond the devotional material to the Father in prayer and further study in the Word of God. I also hope that you will go beyond gaining cognitive knowledge, despite all its benefits, to experiential or applied learning that produces quality change and growth. To improve the quality of those who follow Christ after us (1 Corinthians 11:1), we must influence them through our example. So ready yourself to be challenged, provoked, and experience dramatic increases in your leadership capacity and function.
To conclude, my purpose in writing this leadership development devotional is to encourage and inspire “growing” leaders to continue in their leadership journey. We have not arrived. But when we do reach our destination, we will all give an account of how well we have led. So my purpose in writing is also about stewardship. Those of us gifted, entrusted, and called to lead well must do so as stewards. God determines the measure for leading well, or leading others. I hope that at the end of our time together you will be more and more inclined to grow in such a way that God will commend you for having led well when you reach your destination.

Shocked and frozen, I stared at her as she rocked back and forth with her eyes closed and her head slightly tilted backwards. At first, I couldn’t understand what I was witnessing but then I soon realized that there were two feet, one on each side of her.
“Oh no! I walked in on Amara’s parents…”
I thought as my mind wandered off. I soon realized that I had loosened my grip on the money when I heard a thud and looked down to see the pouch by my feet. As I picked it up, there was a loud gasp that caused me to refocus and raise my head to see Amara’s mother looking at me in shock.

I have always enjoyed writing since childhood and am a big fan of the Supernatural and Horror genres. I have been reading a lot of books lately and had the thought that although I enjoyed the work of other authors I would like to write stories myself and inspire others.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
My characters are from my own imagination and often loosely based on people I have come across in my life. I am careful to craft them in a way in which they come across as realistic and having a real and authentic voice.
Book Sample
The Elevator
Michael
Chapter 1
Michael stands at the door. He’s not sure why he’s here. He’s not sure of anything really, only that he feels compelled. Funny word that is compelled, it doesn’t quite describe the way he feels drawn is maybe a better word, to open the door, and step inside, the elevator.
Why is he so fascinated, so desperate to enter this simple device a cage or platform used for hoisting people or things made of a belt or conveyor chain for raising or lowering. This elevator is Victorian, maybe this is why. He has always loved old things. An old soul.
It stands imposing all metal and gold frames, intimidating, regal powerful yet irresistible the promise it will take him somewhere. He presses the button, there is just a single button, strange, where will it take him, down or up. There are no floor number, but he is eager…. he wants to go.
There is a loud squeak and crank as the elevator shifts down, further and further decelerating fast. He holds to the sides of the walls but the fast deceleration lifts him off his feet and Michael loses his balance he falls, his nails scrape the floor as he clings red raw his bloody fingernail's snap like twigs, there is a pop as his head hits the floor, just before he loses consciousness a single thought: ‘Why, why did I enter?’.

Life is a passion play that when kept restrained can lead to frustration of the heart. But when allowed to run free can cause the heart to wander into many unexpected territories where love and lust and loss cover the landscape like a primal forest. One can get lost in its shadows or find life in its fecundity.
Carrie Skinner has wandered this landscape gathering bits and pieces of light and shadow then poured them into the poems in this collection. Here you will find deeply personal poems written from the heart that share the ups and downs of a life lived fully – the wonders and the horrors and everything in between. The book is divided into three sections; Love, Lust and Loss and if you look closely you may just discover a familiarity in the hills and valleys she paints with her pen. If you have ever loved, lusted or lost while living within the passion play of life these poems will resonate with your body, heart and soul. Read them slowly and let them bring you to the edge of their cliff where it is possible to either plummet or soar out into the wonders of a life lived fiercely and passionately.

The Need for Wings
The need to think
like white
on snow
consumes
presumes defeat,
the need engulfs
my center
destitute
I pry open your soul
its need to free you
like wings
of dead birds
lying silent
in baskets
on my shelf
waiting for
the seamstress
to sew you
together…
I have your wings here
tucked under mine
if you would like
I could sew them on for you…
Dream Needs
I brave this sleep
like some
unconscious seafarer
waiting for
the slap of waves to pull me
into the port
of you,
I want to dream of you
need the feel of your heart
next to mine
in the non-reality of sleep
to smell the spray of your life
in my face
wet and salty
on the wind of
fantasy oceans,
pull me to you
under the covers
of moonlit water
and we will sing
the song of the deep
into the impassioned ears
of the sea of sleep.

I've always had epic stories in my head. Often when I try to go to sleep, my mind just works on stories. Not works or voices, but the actual feeling of being in places themselves. This story inspired me to take the plunge and publish one of my epic stories. Indy author's inspired me to believe I can publish it.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
This is a hard question. The first chapter main character is based on a combination of myself and two other people. After a 2nd chance at life, I just let the character grow on his own. He told me what he wanted to do.
For the other characters, I envisioned the type of people and type of circumstances that would draw characters together.
Book Sample
Chapter 1:
I’ve built a life that anyone would consider pretty damn good. Many people would, or do, envy what I have achieved. I’m a Senior Manager of Software Engineering for a small, remote-first software company. Within a short period, I’ll likely get a promotion in the coming weeks and things look bright. It looks likely I am destined for the VP or CTO role with greater pay and more equity. I work with amazing people. I have a team that is excited to work with me every day and wishes to learn from me. It’s cool because I have the team’s back and they have mine.
I’ve built a good life. Over my career, the roles I held allowed my wife the option to do whatever she wishes to do, regardless of the salary she makes. We own a magnificent house that’s four years away from being paid-off, two amazing children, and a dog. Our credit card debt is at zero and our almost new cars are paid-off. Throughout my career, I did my best to save for the future. Over the years, we saved enough to cover four years of college for our kids and I’m working on my second retirement. Along with that, I have lots of wealth put away in investments. I’ll likely retire at 60ish in comfort. Less than nine years from now.
So why is it I consistently feel like I should do something else? Do something more? Sure, it could be the two years of Covid-19, but I don’t think so. Throughout my long career, I have felt out of place. While I have achieved great stuff and have found find myself in influential leadership positions, something has just not sat well with me. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to figure out what would make me feel better, but I’m just not sure what. It’s hard to leave the money I make and I’m getting ever closer to early retirement. So maybe I just need to suck it up. I hate the term, but maybe I need to ‘man up’.
I know shouldn’t think this way, but I do. Maybe it will be better when I retire. Maybe I should retire at 56. I could. I’ve got the money. Just in our retirement investments. I have a full pension paid for and a 401K with over 1 million in it. Hell, I have about 300k in personal play investments. The money I try my hand at being a super investor with. No, wait. Ethereum just went massively up. It might be 400k by now. Maybe I could retire even earlier. I can afford it.
Things are going great, and I should be happy. But it’s just not feeling quite right. Not knowing what would be right haunts me at night. I don’t know where to look. Maybe I’m just a fool. I have a fantastic life and it should satisfy me. But I have always felt I’m meant for more. I’ve been told I may have imposters syndrome like most of the workforce. But I don’t feel like I cannot do my job. I’m great at it. I feel like I should do something else, but I have no clue what.
A concerned looking young woman on the screen in front of me says, “Hey Jim, you there? Earth to Jim.”
I realize I have just been staring off to the side of the screen. I’m sure to Liz, that looks like I’m just totally not paying attention. Well, she’s right. “Sorry Liz, I don’t think I’ve had enough coffee yet. I was just lost in thought for a minute. I believe I missed what you were just saying. Please forgive me.”
Her face showed annoyance for a moment, but she catches herself. “Did you get what I meant about the presentation? Do the charts accurately convey our progress? Should we go over them again?”
I give Liz a smile and put a pleased and confident tone in my voice. “Last night, I reviewed them all. I made a few minor edits, including some of the grammar, and one data field was incorrect, but other than those minor issues, I think you did great on the report. I think this is close to being ready and I really appreciate your work. This will go a long way towards ensuring visibility for our stakeholders. But, because it’s a big deal, let’s walk through it one slide at a time. Not because I doubt your work, but just in case,”
I’m always careful to give praise when and where it’s deserved. Later, after the meeting, I’ll have to remember to post kudos for Liz in Slack. Others should know she rocks.
Liz pulls up the slide deck so we can review the slides for the upcoming status meeting. “All right, let’s dig in.”

My overactive imagination, my political awakening and the urge to write the kind of book I would want to read, as well as having so much free time during lockdown, inspired to me try my hand at writing a novel. It went better than I could ever have expected and I've learned a lot along the way.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
As the novel follows the travails of two political journalists and the news cycle, I think a lot of the characters were based around some of the stories breaking in and around the start of the pandemic. The character Isaac is loosely based on a Ghanaian man that I had dinner with in Prague once.

After
“Hey guys, I’m PegaGus. Welcome to my channel if you’re new here, and if you are, then what a time you’ve chosen to join me. Everyone who wants to know the real truth, not that bullshit the media tell you, should watch this channel, so like and subscribe, and tell your friends. Spread the word.
“Today I’m going to be showing you yet another example of how the world’s governments and big businesses are trying to exploit us, and this time it’s the implant that you are all hearing so much about in the media, the one which supposedly controls the blood-dealers.
“They’ve got you by the short and curlies. They have you utterly convinced that this implant does something. The dealers I’ve spoken to all say that they have a choice, that they have free will, that they could do whatever they like, but they’re all so scared of this thing that does nothing. They really don’t have free will at all. This is all the government’s doing by the way. They’re making it look like the big bad Blood Pound Gang are real nasty and controlling their dealers with an innovative and sinister technology. But they’re not. They just want you to think that they are.
“And if we let them succeed, how long do you think it’ll be until they utilise it legitimately, rather than dressing it up as criminal? How long until nobody protests, or is creative, or has any fun at all in public because they’re scared shitless of something that everyone just believes does something? They want to make us obedient, and it’s sad that the general public aren’t even going to make them work for it. They won’t even have to invent something capable of mind control. They’re just saying they have and hoping that people go along with it. And sadly some people are.
“You sheeple need to wake up. This blood shit is just a dressed rehearsal for what’s coming. They’re using dealers as guinea pigs because they’re all at the bottom of the food chain. They can’t experiment on the middle-classes unless they paid them all a shit ton of money, so they’re using desperate people with nothing to lose, happy to have a lump of metal carved into the back of their necks for the derisory amount of money they actually get to keep from each sale.
“They did the same thing with the pandemics, making you all stay two metres away from each other and wear those goddamn face-nappies like morons. Stop being sheeple, start allowing PegaGus to show you the light. And today I’ll be shining the light on this implant bullshit. I don’t believe in it, and I’m going to prove to everyone why they shouldn’t either. I’ve already proved that the earth is flat, and that Coronavirus and Hemo were both fake news, so now I’m going to debunk the myth that is… the implant.”
PegaGus’ intro clip and music plays for twelve seconds.
“So, your boy Gus here has only gone and managed to get himself an implant under false pretences, pretending that I’m actually going to be dealing blood. As if. Now watch as I livestream me taking all the blood out of this box, with the code the fake government stooge pretending to be from the BPG gave me, and then taking it and getting all the money for it from the blood bank. The implant is not going to stop me like all those pussies out there think it will. It doesn’t do anything. It’s all in their heads. The media has worked you all into a shoot over what the capabilities of this thing are, and the reality is – it’s just a lump of metal.
“I’m gonna start by opening up the box. Here we go. Four… Eight… Eight… Nine. Voila, box open. Woohoo, I’m still here.”
PegaGus dances around in the room where he films his YouTube videos.
“I’m only meant to open the box when I’m making a sale, and I’m not making a sale, and guess what? I’m still here. Because it’s fake news.
“In fact, fuck it, I’ll make a shitload of money from selling the blood, but you know what? I’m gonna burst one of the bags right now, live on screen. That’ll really stick it to the ‘BPG’. Even if they try and send some of their goons round to my house, I’ll still at least have shown the world that there’s nothing to fear from the implant itself. That it does nothing on its own. All you dealers can just go sell all your stock, make a fortune in doing so, and then the government will just take all the blood, that the BPG have supposedly stolen, out of whatever government facility they’re hiding it all in, and we can all go back to living normal lives again.
“Let me just grab something sharp… Oh, this pen’ll do. Okay ready folks? I’m gonna stab this pen into the bag of blood, it’s gonna spray everywhere and the BPG are gonna lose out on a couple of grand. And the implant isn’t gonna stop me, because it’s F-A-K-E, fake. Wake up sheeple. Stop swallowing all the bullshit that the mainstream media are trying to feed you. Okay, here goes. I’m gonna burst this bag. Three… Two… One…”
Gus starts shuddering violently like he’s having some sort of seizure. Foam starts spurting out from his mouth before he ends up lifeless on the chair in his home studio; his head drooped down onto his left shoulder.
The live feed lasted another forty seconds with him in the same position, not moving, before YouTube pulled the plug on it and the video was removed from their site. Of course, it had already been recorded by thousands of people and had been around the world and back in milliseconds. Was this moment PegaGus’ last flight of fancy or just a publicity stunt helping him to stay relevant?

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I got my inspiration from trying to find the balance I needed in my life. Also, a lot of people who can do great things and be great often doubt themselves. So I wanted to focus on writers and motivate them to write. I wanted them to trust in their abilities, start writing, and become who they are meant to be.

Fifty years ago, Captain Nina Brooke hand-picked a crew from across the world to accompany her on the mission of a lifetime. Today, they’re all waking up. The Posterity is making her final approach to their new home planet, and the work is about to begin. Humanity wasn’t an endangered species when they set off on this mission, but it’s a darn sight closer to being one now. No pressure, then.
The new planet seems perfect; plenty of resources, good settlement locations, habitable climates. After what happened to Earth, Nina is conscious that they need to take better care of this one. It takes all sorts to make a world, and Nina’s got all sorts asleep in her cryobay; not only the people required to build it, but the ones to make it feel like home, too. After all, what good is saving humanity if you leave the best parts of it behind?
Some people find it easier than others to start new lives here on the other side of the galaxy, but then, it all depends on what they left behind. As Nina navigates relationships old and new, will she finally find the one thing she’s never had: a home?
Targeted Age Group:: Adult/Crossover
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I write the stories that I would have loved to read as a teenager/young woman, where everyone is accepted in a new world and there are varied strong role models everywhere. I also love reading cosy novels and Posterity is that – a feel-good read.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Nina is exactly the sort of person I would choose to lead this mission, which is why I created her! She's strong but kind, with years of experience under her belt that will prepare her for anything (she hopes!). The rest of the crew fell into place around her as we discovered what skills people would need, then the rest of the colonists emerged as we progressed.
Book Sample
Captain Nina Brooke blinked as the haze lifted and everything started to come back into focus. Warm air rushed over her, soothing away the chill lingering in her fingers and toes. The face of her Chief Medical Officer pixelated into clarity, dark curls framing her serious face, then her words started to register.
“Welcome back, Captain. Remember to take it slowly.”
Nina eased herself into a sitting position and rubbed her eyes, chasing the last shadows from them. Dr Caimile backed up slightly to give her room as she stretched and looked around her. The cryobay looked exactly as she remembered it, enormous and sterile. It felt like no time had elapsed since she lay down in her pod.
“Whew. Any idea how long we’ve been out?”
“Not yet,” the doctor replied, shaking her head. “I’ve been awake five minutes longer than you; I just had long enough to run checks on myself before I got the alert that you were waking up. Now, if you don’t mind…” She gestured to the medical unit in the wall and Nina got down from the table that had been her cryopod, crossing gingerly to the recess and stepping in. She felt the familiar tingling sensations as the unit assessed her but ignored them, focusing instead on running through her next tasks in her head. After years of preparation, it was about to begin. The thought gave her a pleasant adrenaline rush as she tuned out the physical. After a moment, the unit bleeped and a small receptacle containing a number of pills emerged from the wall next to her. She threw them back and stepped down, grimacing as she swallowed them.
“Alright, Doc. Prepare to wake the rest of the crew. I’m heading up to the bridge to check it’s not a false alarm. I’ll let you know when we’re good to go.”

My Dad went to the donut shop in his small town in Texas. He often asked me to go when I was in town. As we visited one morning, the men around the table suggested I write a book about groups like this so that others could read about it, especially younger generations. This was my inspiration. Sadly, my dad passed away a week before the book was published. His buddies will receive copies at the funeral.

My husband was young when he was appointed to the bench. One of the first trials he presided over was that of a teenage boy accused of a triple murder. He knew that sending a teenager to adult prison would be devastating for the boy. It was a very difficult trial for my husband and very inspirational for me. There is no better inspiration than a real life situation that challenges ordinary people to make extraordinary choices.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Josie is based on a judge I know. She is a strong woman whose own teenage years were difficult and that makes her very sensitive to Hannah. Hannah is a compilation of girls who went to high school with my sons. So many of them were very streetwise, but all of them longed for more parental supervision. Archer? Archer is my husband. He is a good, strong, loyal guy.
Book Sample
"Strip."
"No."
Hannah kept her eyes forward, trained on two rows of rusted shower heads stuck in facing walls. Sixteen in all. The room was paved with white tile, chipped and discolored by age and use. Ceiling. Floor. Walls. All sluiced with disinfectant. Soiled twice a day by filth and fear. The fluorescent lights cast a yellow shadow over everything. The air was wet. The shower room smelled of mold and misery. It echoed with the cries of lost souls.
Hannah had come in with a bus full of women. She had a name, now she was a number. The others were taking off their clothes. Their bodies were ugly, their faces worn. They flaunted their ugliness as if it were a cruel joke, not on them but on those who watched. Hannah was everything they were not. Beautiful. Young. She wouldn't stand naked in this room with these women. She blinked and wrapped her arms around herself. Her breath came short. A step back and she fooled herself that it was possible to turn and leave. Behind her Hannah thought she heard the guard laugh.
"Take it off, Sheraton, or I'll do it for you."
Hannah tensed, hating to be ordered. She kept her eyes forward. She had already learned to do that.
"There's a man back there. I saw him," she said.
"We're an equal opportunity employer, sweetie," the woman drawled. "If women can guard male prisoners then men can guard the women. Now, who's it going to be? Me or him?"
The guard touched her. Hannah shrank away. Her head went up and down, the slightest movement, the only way she could control her dread. She counted the number of times her chin went up. Ten counts. Her shirt was off. Her chin went down. Ten more counts and she dropped the jeans that had cost a fortune.
"All of it, baby cakes," the guard prodded.
Hannah closed her eyes. The thong. White lace. That was the last. Quickly she stepped under a showerhead and closed her eyes. A tear seeped from beneath her lashes only to be washed away by a sudden, hard, stinging spray of water. Her head jerked back as if she'd been slapped then Hannah lost herself in the wet and warm. She turned her face up, kept her arms closed over her breasts, pretended the sheet of water hid her like a cloak. As suddenly as it had been turned on the water went off. She had hidden from nothing. The ugly women were looking back, looking her over. Hannah went from focus to fade, drying off with the small towel, pulling on the too-big jumpsuit. She was drowning in it, tripping over it. Her clothes – her beautiful clothes – were gone. She didn't ask where.
The other women talked and moved as if they had been in this place so often it felt like home. Hannah was cut from the pack and herded down the hall, hurried past big rooms with glass walls and cots lined up military style. She slid her eyes toward them. Each was occupied. Some women slept under blankets, oblivious to their surroundings. Others were shadows that rose up like specters, propping themselves on an elbow, silently watching Hannah pass.
Clutching her bedding, Hannah put one foot in front of the other, eyes down, counting her steps so she wouldn't be tempted to look at all those women. There were too many steps. Hannah lost track and began again. One. Two. . .
"Here."
A word stopped her. The guard rounded wide to the right as if Hannah was dangerous. That was a joke. She couldn't hurt anyone – not really. The woman pushed open a door. The cock of her head said this was Hannah's place. A room, six by eight. A metal-framed bed and stained mattress. A metal toilet without a lid. A metal sink. No mirror. Hannah hugged her bedding tighter and twirled around just as the woman put her hands on the door to close it.
"Wait! You have to let me call my mom. Take me to a phone right now so I can check on her."
Hannah talked in staccato. A water droplet fell from her hair and hit her chest. It coursed down her bare skin and made her shiver. It was so cold. This was all so cold and so awful. The guard was unmoved.
"Bed down, Sheraton," she said flatly.
Hannah took another step. "I told you I just want to check on her. Just let me check on her. I won't talk long."
"And I told you to bed down." The guard stepped out. The door was closing. Hannah was about to call again when the woman in blue with the thick wooden club on her belt decided to give her a piece of advice. "I wouldn't count on any favors, Sheraton. Judge Rayburn was one of us, if you get my meaning. It won't matter if you're here or anywhere else. Everyone will know who you are. Now make your bed up."
The door closed. Hannah hiccoughed a sob as she spread her sheet on the thin mattress. She tucked it under only to pull it out over and over again. Finally satisfied she put the blanket on, lay down and listened. The sound of slow footsteps echoed through the complex. Someone was crying. Another woman shouted. She shouted again and then she screamed. Hannah stayed quiet, barely breathing. They had taken away her clothes. They had touched her where no one had ever touched her before. They had moved her, stopped her, pointed and ordered her, but at this point Hannah couldn't remember who had done any of those things. Everyone who wasn't dressed in orange was dressed in blue. The blue people had guns and belts filled with bullets and clubs that they caressed as if they were treasured pets. These people seemed at once bored with their duty and thrilled with their power. They hated Hannah and she didn't even know their names.
Hannah wanted her mother. She wanted to be in her room. She wanted to be anywhere but here. Hannah even wished Fritz wouldn't be dead if that would get her home. She was going crazy. Maybe she was there already.
Hannah got up. She looked at the floor and made a plan. She would ask to call her mother again. She would ask politely because the way she said it before didn't get her anything. Hannah went to the door of her – cell. A hard enough word to think, she doubted she could ever say it. She went to the door and put her hands against it. It was cold, too. Metal. There was a window in the center. Flat white light slid through it. Hannah raised her fist and tapped the glass. Once, twice, three, ten times. Someone would hear. Fifteen. Twenty. Someone would come and she would tell them she didn't just want to check on her mother; she would tell them she needed to do that. This time she would say please.
Suddenly something hit up against the glass. Hannah fell back. Stumbling over the cot, she landed near the toilet in the corner. This wasn't her room in the Palisades. This was a small, cramped place. Hannah clutched at the rough blanket and pulled it off the bed as she sank to the floor. Her heart beat wildly. Huddled in the dark corner, she could almost feel her eyes glowing like some nocturnal animal. She was transfixed by what she saw. A man was looking in, staring at her as if she were nothing. Oh God, he could see her even in the dark. Hannah pulled her knees up to her chest and peeked from behind them at the man who watched.
His skin was pasty, his eyes plain. A red birthmark spilled across his right temple and half his eyelid until it seeped into the corner of his nose. He raised his stick, black and blunt, and tapped on the glass. He pointed toward the bed. She would do what he wanted. Hannah opened her mouth to scream at him. Instead, she crawled up on to the cot. Her feet were still on the floor. The blanket was pulled over her chest and up into her chin. The guard looked at her – all of her. He didn't see many like this. So young. So pretty. He stared at Hannah as if he owned her. Voices were raised somewhere else. The man didn't seem to notice. He just looked at Hannah until she yelled 'go away' and threw the small, hard pillow at him.
He didn't even laugh at that ridiculous gesture. He just disappeared. When Hannah was sure he was gone she began to pace. Holding her right hand in her left she walked up and down her cell and counted the minutes until her mother would come to get her.
Counting. Counting. Counting again.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I have spent the better part of this year writing about a topic I am very passionate about—my experiences in recovering from divorce and regaining my sense of self and optimism for the future. In my book “Journey to Joy…How my divorce recovery journey can be your guide to a joyful life” I tell my story focusing on how self care and self improvement assisted me in recovering from a traumatic divorce and facilitated my ability to thrive. Divorce can be a very difficult time for anyone, so I feel that it is probable that many people who have recently gone through divorce might find my story and suggestions helpful in their own recovery journey. In various chapters I provide exercises that can guide the reader toward self-analysis in order to help them get in touch with their inner feelings and desires. I believe this process can help them identify ways to rebuild a joyful life as well as finding healing from the past, by focusing on the self. I do believe these areas are connected and that the reader will gain insight on what is important to them as well as discover how to move forward with a positive outlook. My goal is to provide encouragement and hope to anyone who reads my written work.

Chapter 1…Sad but Not Defeated!
I was married for 23 years. What a big number that is! As many married couples, we went through various ups and downs throughout this time but we were happily married, or so I thought. We had many blessings during our married life—we had followed the Lord for our entire married life, we had three healthy, wonderful children, we both had good careers, served in church ministries, and enjoyed good health. We lived a busy life, participated in our kids’ educational activities, celebrated events, took family outings, and enjoyed a simple life of unity. Looking back, I can say there were little arguments in our home, we ate dinner together daily, and did devotionals with our children to emphasize the importance of including Jesus in our daily lives.
I was sometimes shocked by the differences of life within our family unit versus what we saw happening in some other families; I certainly never thought we would ever face the breakdown of our marriage thus adding to the divorce statistics. One day, my oldest daughter commented about being the only student in her class who came from a two-parent family. This statement shocked me but also gave me a sense of satisfaction that our family was intact. This was one of my last few memories of being happily married that is etched on my mind because shortly afterwards, everything changed.
As that year was coming to an end, it brought the demise of life as we knew it. First, I lost my teaching job due to state wide cutbacks. Then, a few months later, days after we celebrated our 23rd anniversary, it became apparent that my spouse was going his own way. This was a devastating time for me—the most difficult and challenging time in my whole entire life. I felt a terrible sense of abandonment from the one who was supposed to care for me in good or in bad times. When I lost my partner, one that I thought was for life, it was a surreal moment. I felt a variety of negative feelings all at once but most pronounced was a feeling of mourning, abandonment and anger. We were married since I was 21, so the reality of not being married anymore felt surreal and absolutely terrible. In those early days, I very strongly believed that I would never feel happy again, let alone love someone romantically again.
For several years I was functional but I noticed that I constantly walked around with what felt like an inevitable, dark sadness over my head. It was so powerful that I even gave it a name; I called it the ‘Dark Cloud’. I carried this Dark Cloud wherever I went and even though I consciously wanted to forget that I was in a state of mourning, it was just not possible yet. I felt the Dark Cloud hovering over me all the time, even while being around other people or while attending social events. Although I felt sad and lonely on and off throughout the course of my waking hours, I didn’t completely give in to these feelings because I consciously made a point to shake it off. I continued praying, attending church, often planned activities with my children, family or friends and did my best to find ways to enjoy life. Although I was mindful to remain engaged, it was a constant up-and-down battle—even thought sometimes I felt better, the sadness would eventually return. It was simply a time of bittersweet contradictions but in my mind and in my heart, I knew I had to be strong for myself and for my children so I made a conscious effort to maintain a life of normalcy.
Thankfully, this was a time of encouragement too! Instinctively, from the very beginning, I knew that winning against the whirlpool of feelings I was wading through, depended greatly on loving myself, so I made a habit of continuing to do things that made me feel at my best. Simple choices such as dressing up, doing my makeup, and grooming frequently was part of my routine. I paid attention to my hair, did manicures, pedicures, facials, and body spa treatments at home. This attitude of loving on myself while I was going through this time was wonderful for my self esteem.
As time went on, I found that even though the Dark Cloud wasn’t magically going away, it was progressively getting a little lighter; and as I realized this, I knew there must be a light at the end of the tunnel and that I was progressively healing. It dawned on me that this period of mourning would eventually pass and that all I needed was time. As the days, weeks and months wore on, I noticed that positive feelings arose more frequently—feelings of positive expectations about the future. The Dark Cloud was being pierced by rays of sunshine more often and for longer periods of time and I held on to those feelings fiercely. Deep inside of me, I knew for sure that the sadness would eventually end, and the Dark Cloud would forever go away. That was enough to keep me moving forward to that light at the end of the tunnel.
"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit"

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I was doing stand up and there was so much interest in my story, that I decided to write a memoir. My Whorizontal Life is the first of many books to come as this one goes through the first 6 months.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
As this is from my life, my experience, the characters are real.
All names have been changed to protect myself and them. So every one of the characters in the books existed and played a part.
Book Sample
It’s New York City. Late 1980s. Madonna is still Like a Virgin. And after five years in undergrad, a further four years at The Juilliard School, then one year on the road with The Acting Company, I am an actress, who was acting.
I am also broke.
The Acting Company job finished less than two months ago and I’ve already lost two waitressing jobs.
One because I spilled 5 a.m. over-easy eggs on Jon Bon Jovi’s lap.
The other because one of my boobs got in the mousse. Maybe also the soup.
Ok. I’m a terrible waitress.
For the past decade, I’ve been making up the short- fall between work, tuition, and expenses by living off my
student loans and credit cards. I’m into my second month behind on rent, with no solution. And I now have this humongous new debt called Student Loans: An entire week’s salary, at least, to be paid every month. Possibly for my whole life. Probably even after I die.
Also, just to make sure I fall entirely apart, Mean People have been calling. I learn they are called Debt Collections.
I didn’t know that.
I think they are just being mean. To me, specifically. Me and only me.
I don’t understand why they are so mean. Why would a big company like Chemical Bank need to yell at someone who is obviously struggling, to hurry up and give them $183 dollars? Are they going to go out of business if they don’t get my $183 by Monday? I mean, I understand I owe it. What I don’t understand is the very, very, meanness, especially over something like money.
I offer up my guitar. It’s the only thing of value I have. Also, I don’t play guitar.
I meant to learn, but besides it hurting my fingertips, I can’t hear the difference in the notes.
They decline the guitar and inform me they’ll call again. And again. And again. Later.
Nothing will be different later. I don’t understand why they are being so mean. I cannot function under ‘mean.’ It paralyzes me.
And don’t they think the world needs artists? Don’t they know that by crippling us with their meanness, they will hurt our creativity? Do they not understand the peril the world will feel if there is no art?

Raised by peaceful descendants of dryads, Corvin always feared a darker nature might lurk inside him.
Corvin is forced to watch helplessly as his family’s home is scorched by a pyromancer’s demonic fire. To spare them further harm, he must agree to guide a voyage across waters infested by mer pirates and haunted by an ancient evil, using powers he barely knew he had.
But others on the voyage are not happy to have him aboard, including Lady Hexton, who was forced to undertake the voyage by her father. And Commander Hardeton, a blood-thirsty man who is far more than he seems.
When the crew’s distrust of him finally boils over into a violent mutiny, Corvin is forced to take a life to escape. He came on the voyage to protect the adopted family he left behind, but now he seems to have more in common with the monsters around him.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The germ of this story was first born when I read "The Ballad of Patrick Spens." I fell in love with the idea of an ill-fated voyage. Over time, it also became an exploration of secrets, and unanswered questions. Corvin, the protagonist, does not know who he is by birth nor where he comes from, and strongly suspects he will not like the answers. The voyage then serves to force Corvin to face his identity, though the reader will see, sometimes answers only lead to more questions.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
My characters are in part dictated by the story I want to write before I begin writing, but in a very real sense I don't quite know who they are until I begin writing. In many ways, I don't feel so much like I come up with my characters so much as they reveal themselves to me.
Book Sample
Corvin leapt over mossy rocks and fallen trees as he sprinted through the moonlit forest. The silver bells on his sleeves and the hem of his long coat trailed ringing music in his wake. Following the sounds, a hunting party shouted and cursed as they tripped and stumbled in the dark, crashing through the underbrush. Rifle shot smacked into a dead tree several yards to his left.
Not their worst shot, which said more about the marksmanship of the would-be heroes of Hawestone Village than his ability to evade them. Then again, they were human and couldn’t see well at night.
The bells on his coat fell silent as he stopped, crouching in a patch of tall ferns growing beneath an ancient oak. Corvin watched his pursuers through the dark hair falling over his eyes. If he moved to sweep it away, they would hear him. Which they would eventually, but not until he decided they should.
The hunters stopped, panting, to listen for him. They never seemed to tire of this game. Corvin’s grove, or tribe, passed the village every year on the annual migrations. And every year the village sent out its mightiest warriors to protect their people from the peaceful sylvie passing by.
“You can’t hide from us, faeble,” their leader shouted into the night.
On the contrary, he could have escaped them easily enough simply by removing his coat and walking away. But that was not his objective.
The humans stomped around in the leaf litter, huffing like a herd of confused bulls. Corvin waved an arm, and the resulting jingle drew their attention.
The pack resumed their chase with blood-thirsty cries.
He darted out of the ferns, his coat ringing merrily.
Oh, what they would do to him if they ever caught him. He could almost smell their murderous intent. He caught a long willow branch, and used it to swing over a clearing in the woods. When he landed, he jogged a short distance away, and waited. Presently, he was rewarded by the sounds of cracking branches and profuse swearing.
Two days ago, the humans had dug a pit in the forest, hoping to snare one of the sylvie. They laid long, intertwined branches over top and covered it with leaves. They’d done their work well, and if Corvin hadn’t been watching their activities from the forest canopy, they might have trapped more than themselves. Apparently, they hadn’t recognized their own handiwork in the dark.
Corvin removed the jingling coat and stuffed it into a hollow log. Already he could hear the humans calling for their compatriots to rescue them from the pit. The task would keep them busy for some time, and with any luck, they would give up and return to the village afterward. He laid down a few false trails in case the humans should try to track him in the daylight and then headed toward the river. He stopped short when he heard a soft bird-like call.
He had been caught, if not by the hunters.
Corvin turned.
Hollis, his grove’s elder sylvie, stood in the clearing. The camouflage of the elder’s dark robe and green-black hair rendered Hollis almost invisible against the black wall of the forest. Only the pale green of his skin, gleaming in the moonlight, betrayed his presence.
Biting his lip, Corvin struggled to keep a grin from forming on his face. “Good night for a stroll, isn’t it?”
Hollis gazed at him with an expression inscrutable as a stump.
Corvin involuntarily brushed his hair out of his eyes, but he resisted the urge to straighten or brush dirt or debris from his tunic. He always felt untidy standing before Hollis. But the dark brown fabric hid dirt or bloodstains well, and Corvin knew he could see in the dark better than Hollis.
“You haven’t been fighting with them again, have you?” said Hollis.
“You asked me not to.”
“I know. But did you?”
“No.”
Hollis kept watching Corvin, as immovable as the surrounding oaks.
“I just made sure they wouldn’t bother us tonight.”
The elder sylvie gave a barely perceptible sigh.
If he was going to give another speech about trees bending in the wind…
“We should return to the grove. Appeline will have begun worrying,” said Hollis.
Corvin nearly gave a sigh of his own, of relief. He felt too old to be subjected to lectures like a child, but a sylvie his age would still be a seedling, not yet able to speak in complete sentences. Yet Corvin had aged as quickly as a human and was now an adult. The sylvie could live for centuries. Clearly, Corvin’s people did not.
He didn’t even know what his people were called. He’d never seen any, apart from his own father. Once. Four years ago.
His pointed ears suggested he might be some kind of elf, but his cat-like pupils and sharp canine teeth indicated otherwise. And he certainly was not an ent or a spriggan. Some of the other groves interacted occasionally with various faeble folk around Caladavan, but none of them looked anything like him.
A strange, sweet smell drifted to them on the breeze.
No, it couldn’t be.
“Smoke,” said Hollis, before whisking off through the woods.
Corvin scrambled through the underbrush, trying to keep pace with Hollis. The elder moved astonishingly fast given how little effort he seemed to expend.
His mind raced faster than his feet. It wasn’t the Inner Circle, couldn’t be. But who else would come after his family? The humans were occupied, and they didn’t know where the grove docked.
Hollis stopped, and Corvin stumbled to a halt to avoid running into him. The elder sylvie tilted his head, as if listening to something only he could hear. The sylvie had a way of communicating with each other over long distances. When his family tried to explain it to him, they said it was a language of scent perceived as sound, the way written words were heard inside a reader’s head. Whatever it was, Corvin couldn’t understand it.
“Stay here,” Hollis said.
“What?”
“You must stay here,” said Hollis. “Do as I say.”
The elder’s tone was as sharp as a knife; Corvin had never heard anything like it from him before.
“All right,” said Corvin.
Dread seemed to darken the shadows around him as he watched Hollis disappear into the forest. He could imagine only one reason why Hollis would insist he stay behind. The people attacking the grove had come to find Corvin. It was his fault. The mad cultists had come for him, just as his father said they would. He should have done something.
He scrambled up a tree and took off after Hollis, running and leaping nimbly through the branches. Corvin always felt more agile in the tree canopy than on the ground among the thick undergrowth.
The grove was on fire.

Life is supposed to feel good. I mean, what’s the point otherwise? What are you working so hard for if not to have a smile on your face at the end of the day? We make so many daily choices and life decisions from a place of necessity or for financial gain or to please other people, but we forget what’s really important. We forget that life is meant to be lived and that we can choose a life that puts a smile on our face. You have the power to choose what you want. So I ask, why not choose fulfillment?

It has always been my dream to have my books out there in the world, and this was the first step in realizing that dream. I had decided about two years ago, to take all the hurt and the laughter, and put it together in this collection.

Love is not an object that you can hold. It’s not cloth that you can pull close, taking in its scent. Even better, love is not something that you can see.
What you can do is feel love. There are times when you may feel power emitting from love, a rarely felt power. Should this occur, you might feel boundless and as if the universe has opened up for you.
Those are blessed experiences. And, although those experiences can occur countless times, they don’t. Hopefully, you will allow more of those amazing experiences into your life.
If the world truly does need more love, it must enter the world through each of us. How else is it to get in?
Here are a few actions that you could take to open up to love. Consider incorporating actions that yield good results for you into your daily routine.

As practitioners, we must initiate the change we need to see in the way we approach maternal and prenatal care.
As women, we need to educate and advocate for ourselves.

Nutrition is the most under-addressed and underutilized tool in the prevention and treatment of all diseases, but none more than the care of maternity.
Could the key to lowering our ever-growing negative maternity statistics be found in understanding the beautiful, functional workings of the female body and how nutrition affects the outcomes of these functions?

Chapter 1
A Society Of Lost Women
Maternity healthcare in America has become heavily medicalized over the last few centuries as I’m sure you’ve seen through your own experiences in the birthing world. I am not saying that conventional medicine isn’t amazing. Without the vast discoveries and medical advances,
we as humans would not have the life expectancies that we enjoy in modern times. There are many birthing women who do, in fact, need these interventions.
As we have advanced, our medical sciences with new techniques and procedures, we have lost our connection to the natural biology and preventative nutrition that cultures before us knew. An overuse of these lifesaving techniques also comes with risks and possible complications and should be reserved for only true emergency scenarios.
For the last several decades medical researchers, professors, physicians, midwives, doulas, mothers, and women like you have begun to sound the alarm and raise questions as to whether our medicalized approach to pregnancy and childbirth is to the benefit of women. They are beginning to question why we are seeming to need more intervention in birth. The changing environment of natural medicine and the increasing interest in alternatives to the conventional model of care abounds in all aspects of health—none more than in maternity support and care. Women are beginning to question the care they are receiving through these standard practices and are seeking more natural ways to experience birth.

CHAPTER 1: THE HOSPITAL-1, 2020
I was breathing intemperately, and it felt as if I am about to fall in hell and have to run as fast as possible, try as hard as possible. Suddenly I felt someone’s hand on my head; I screamed, “Jason!” and when I opened my eyes, there was that woman sitting in front of me, aged, curly brown hair patting my head slowly as if I was a child, a child that she never had. I asked her, “Who are you, lady? Wh…re, where is Jason? Where on Earth am I?” The woman uttered, “I am a nurse, and my name is Mary. Mary Haynes. You are in the City hospital and your husband, Jason, is in the other ward”
Mary was somewhat familiar to me, I have seen her somewhere, and so I asked her if she knew me from somewhere outside the hospital, and she denied. I asked her about what has happened to Jason and me; she told me that I fell from the terrace and the neighbours heard me scream, also she told me that Jason stabbed himself with the kitchen knife. My world came to a halt, my head was about to burst from the pain and the urge to see Jason, things started coming to me, Jason being stabbed by her and she pushing me from the terrace to get me killed and there, I can see a small boy hiding in the corner with fear in his eyes. But, who was he? And where is that bitch? Oh, she is somewhere around here, she is always here, wherever I go she walks with me, sleeps with me, and she will die with me.
“There is someone in my home, and she wants me dead. She stabbed my husband, and also pushed me”, I said to Mary with a voice filled in fear. “Fiona, your husband is fine and so are you, there was no one in the house but you both”, Mary told me, and then she left to bring me some food and my medicines.
I started memorizing the incidents, but it was tough to get anything out of my mind. My throat was sore. When I turned left to get me a glass of water, I saw him again. That boy, in my house, skin pale with big eyes, covering a part of his stomach with his hand, he was sitting there with the same fear in his eyes with his fists clenched, in awe or anger, “Who are you, son?” I asked him softly but suddenly the door opened and Mary came in with my food and medicines, the moment I looked back at the corner, he was gone. Mary fed me and took care of me. I asked her about Jason and then about the doctors. From the moment I opened my eyes till now, there was only Mary who was taking care of me, and no doctor came to examine my situation, “You are out of any danger now, and the doctors will come on the time of your discharge”, said Mary.
“Don’t do this to me, please”, I cried, begging her to leave Jason and me alone, to leave my house alone and to let me live. But she didn’t hear a word and stabbed me in my chest, blood in spades was gushing out of my body, and she started laughing, so did Jason. And the both of them kissed, caressed each other in front of me, watching me die they celebrated their victory.
Anguish filled me, I could barely breathe. The demon of deception was eating me up and I couldn’t do anything, just agonized through the suffering. My husband, the love of my life was in someone else’s arms, seeking pleasure in someone else’s vicinity, wanting someone else’s heed, fondling someone else’s cheeks, looking into someone else’s beauty, smiling for someone else’s happiness, breathing through someone’s else’s mouth and laughing watching me die for someone else’s delight.
Then I heard Mary, calling my name, “Fiona, get up there’s nothing to worry about and nothing to cry for”, there I was on the hospital bed again whining in my sleep, crying in my dreams.
Mary asked me about what is wrong, and I asked her if she has time as I have a story to tell—the story of me, the story of Fiona, the all of it.

In 1968, why did a gently raised southern girl quit collage, run away to sea, and join a scurvy crew of pirates, searching for sunken treasure and running contraband? Why did she allow the first mate to tie her in the crow’s-nest during a fierce tropical storm? Why did she flee the Bahamas in the cover of night, fall through a beaver dam during a Rocky Mountain blizzard, and hide out in a Colorado wilderness cave with her good dog, Rocky Raccoon.
Wren Godfrey told herself it was to escape the tragedy of the war in Vietnam and her failed engagement to the love of her young life. But then again, maybe it was to assuage her rebellious case of wanderlust.
With a strong female voice and sense of place in the Carolinas, Florida, Colorado, and the Bahamas, Pirate Girl describes a lifelong process of discovery through the adventurous lessons of Earth School.

By writing this memoir I hope to impart the story of my life with those who share my love of nature and quest for adventure in the great outdoors. I believe folks of every age who read this book will come away with the knowledge that it’s acceptable to search for authentic spirituality and live a life of discovery by falling through a few beaver dams of their own, and that by ignoring any shred of discrimination, it’s fitting for everyone, especially women, to live life to the fullest and do whatever they want with no thought at all to gender, understanding instinctually they’ve always been the equal to men. They just have to know they are. Atha dipa, Ana sarana, Anana sarana: You are the light; You are the refuge; There is no place to take shelter but yourself.
With limits of time and space, all events in this book have been kept as factual as possible. While most names are real, on a whim some were invented, and I ask forgiveness for those unhappy with a new moniker.

Sea Change
It was August 15, 1969, the weekend of Woodstock. As I sped past the Florida-Georgia line, I figured my old Volkswagen, plastered with peace symbols, fit right in with other campers and patched-up vans traveling to Bethel, New York for a music festival. Besides, it might be a good place to sell contraband marijuana. Yet halfway up the Eastern Seaboard, and despite having promised my college roommate I would meet her at Max Yasgur’s farm, I peeled from the caravan and headed to Fayettenam––my hometown. My eyes dripped tears as I sat at the exit ramp, clenching the wheel to keep from turning around. But let’s face it––my year of playing pirate was officially over.
Sixteen hours after leaving Key West, I stood on my parent's front porch, a stray wind plastering leaves against my bare legs. I reached for the doorbell. My fingers hovered over the buzzer, refusing to strike. I dropped my hand and glanced over at chipped siding. My mother disallowed the house to be its authentic self. Instead, she insisted on tricking it out with white paint, black balustrades, and Charleston-green shutters, the redwood rancher never going to be Tara, nor I Scarlet O'Hara––a quandary Mom couldn’t seem to comprehend.
I knocked lightly. No one answered. Un-balling my fist, I noticed my fingernails were dirty and scrubbed them on the frayed hem of my cutoffs. I peered back at Firefly––the name I'd christened Dad's Volkswagen when I was ten years old. Now nine years later she squatted like an orange bug beside his sleek Lincoln Continental. I turned back around and stomped my foot. Why couldn’t I just cut the rope and be free? But instead of fleeing back to Firefly and driving away, I pulled myself up tall and rapped louder. My year of working on boats wasn't nearly as hard as this dreaded day of my homecoming. And although I stood at the threshold of my childhood house, I felt a million miles from home. My true home was on the ocean.
What was I doing here anyway? Hadn’t I vowed not to return stateside until the insane war in Vietnam was over? But here I was, back in North Carolina––afraid to ring my own doorbell.
It seemed no one was home, so I grabbed my duffle and leaped down the steps. Nothing was stopping me from leaving. My parents weren't expecting me for another month, and I'd still be in Florida if I hadn't discovered my ex-fiancé was living in Key West. Why did he ruin everything? He should have stayed in Myrtle Beach where he belonged. Key West was my town.
I stopped short and trudged back. I hadn't seen my parents in over a year. Surely, I could manage a short visit. Besides, if I left, I'd never hear the end of it from my sister, but the thought of spending time anywhere near Fort Bragg made my insides clamp. War and death and friends coming home in body bags were why I'd left in the first place. Yet to be honest, 'Nam wasn't the only reason I'd quit college and run away to sea. It was hard to admit, even to myself, but the truth was I ran away to escape my fiancé. We were to be married in less than a month, except he…
God, what a disaster that was. To hear the story from my mother, you’d have thought her world was ending, not like my saintly dad who was cool with all my decisions––good, bad, or totally stupid. Still, hadn’t a year at sea cured me of that man? Damn straight it had.
I stomped back upstairs, ready to pounce on the buzzer. I reached for the doorknob instead. It turned easily in my hand. Unlike Key West and Nassau, my old neighborhood was still safe. The capital city of the Bahamas was especially perilous. A pirate’s den of miscreants for sure. Like me.
I tiptoed inside and felt dizzy, as if the tide were going out, pulling my feet backwards, my land legs weak and rubbery after living on boats for so long.
“Steady as she goes."¬¬ I grinned at Captain Doggett’s silly phrase he loved spouting when three sheets to the wind, which was often.
Dead silence pervaded until La Traviata shrilled from the kitchen––my mother's bel canto voice splitting airwaves. I flinched at the shriek. Waiting for my adrenaline to die down, I considered leaving and driving far away. Back to Key West. Back to Western Carolina University. Anywhere but here. I should have listened to Ed Abbey's stern advice to stay away from a rough life of working on boats. I hated to tell my radical professor, but after breaking my engagement to Shepard Seagraves, I'd enjoyed my fair share of chicaneries––including lovers. In truth only one lover, but surely Handsome Jack took the place of many. In fact, we should still be together, except he got lost. Or was it me? At any rate, Jack went north to be with Queen Mary, he called her––his real girlfriend in Canada.
“Hello, I’m back," I called out, stopping myself from thinking about Jack. I started at the click, wondering what ghost had closed the door behind me. I scuffed my feet on the doormat, listening for Mom's response. She had quit singing and in dead silence I heard the whomp, tick, tick, tick of tiny ball bearings spinning around inside an ancient rolling pin Mom and Granny Jo used for rolling out dough.
“Mother, I’m back!” It struck me odd, saying I was back. What happened to Hello, I’m home like I’d meant to say? Like I’d said my entire life.
With her arms open wide and starched apron flying, Mom clomped down the hall. She wore the same black pumps she'd worn forever. Everyday housework heels she called them. But really, they were the what-if-the-neighbor-drops-over heels, or the preacher, or hell, even the mailman.
“My dear child, you’re finally home!”
“Yes, ma’am, home at last.”
Returning her hug, I glanced down at my dirty feet. Chips of pink polish still clung to ragged nails, the ruined pedicure part of a salon treatment my sister had insisted on back in Fort Lauderdale––along with a Palm Beach helmet hairdo that sheared away my dreadlocks just when they were getting good.
“Our wayfaring daughter’s finally home,” Mom said, slapping her hands together. White clouds of flour puffed around her face as she held me at arm’s length. “But my heavens, dear, I wouldn’t have recognized you walking down the street.”
“Did you get my postcards?" I trailed behind her. Pausing in the den, I noticed nothing had changed, unsure whether I was relieved or disappointed.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I have been a science fiction/fantasy fanatic since an early age. I love the stories of Jules Verne and HG Wells. I was sitting at my desk bored out of my head when the idea for this book came into my head. It was a freak idea and I've carried it for over ten years.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I mostly came up with them randomly but I have based a few of people that I have known, for example, Lottie, the sister, is based on one of my daughters. The dads have a slight resemblance to myself as I see some connection with how they react when things occur during the story.

To secure her inheritance, she has to marry within a year, and her aunt is pressuring her to marry a rich man who teased and bullied her when she was a child. Neil and Mary Claire shouldn’t even be friends, but the gulf between them is bridged by a shared love of books. Can they cross the bridge to more?

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Years ago, I saw a French film about a chauffeur and noticed that his job involved a lot of waiting time, so I thought it would be a good fit for someone who loved to read. As often happens with me, it took the combination of two ideas to create the spark.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Mary Claire came to me, through a process I can't explain, exactly as she is on the page, right down to the names and fates of her brothers. Neil was originally defined by his job and his love of reading, but once he interacted with Mary Claire, he turned out to have a history and strong opinions too.

Prologue
August 11, 2001- Morgana Simmonds looked at her watch as Stewart Brown entered her home. He came up to where she was standing on the front lawn.
“Can’t you be early for anything? Imagine it’s my send off party and you have to be late. I can bet you were with April. No wonder you don’t want us to get engaged.”
“How many times must I tell you that April and I are nothing more than good friends? As for being late, I had to do something to my car.”
He reached for her hand, but she refused. Instead, she walked to the far corner of the lawn. Stewart followed her.
“Why are you behaving like that?”
“How should I behave? I’m so embarrassed when so many people have to be wondering where you are.”
“I told you where I was.”
“I don’t believe you.”
“Why don’t you call April and find out if I was with her?”
“You know that we don’t speak to each other.”
They found seats on a bench in the garden.
“When you return we can get engaged, there’s no hurry. I’d like it to be as short as possible.”
“Just like you, I’m in no hurry to get engaged too. It’s only mummy and Aunt Sally, who think it might be best for both of us. They feel that it might make us feel more committed to each other. Anyway, I want to know why I called your phone last night and only got your voice mail?”
“I didn’t know my phone needed charging until around midnight. If you had called me before then you wouldn’t have gotten me. I didn’t see your message.”
Morgana put her chin in her hands.
“Here am I about to leave the island and I’m not sure what’s going to happen while I’m away. I could return to find you with some other woman or even married.”
“You know that won’t happen. There are lots of great looking women out there, but I’m not tempted.”
“Honestly, Stewart, I don’t know where our relationship is heading.”
“What are you talking about, Morgana? I thought the time we’ve been together would have meant something to you.”
“We’ve been going around for more than five years now, but I just feel that it means nothing to you. I think you’re still angry because I won’t spend nights or weekends with you.”
“Am I pressuring you to do that? Look how long we go sometimes without sleeping together.”
“Okay, so tell me, while I’m away who will you be sleeping with?”
“Why do you think I would want to sleep with any other woman?”
“I don’t believe you and that’s why I’m in such a
confused state of mind. I don’t want to be over there and be constantly fending off rumors about you and other women.”
“You know that won’t happen. How about a compromise?”
She looked over at the dancing area which was in full swing now. She knitted her brows and seemed to be in deep thoughts.
“What do you have in mind?”
“You could come for the holidays, maybe Christmas and Summer.”
“Why do I get the feeling that you’re only after my body?”
Stewart stood up before sitting down again.
“If I was only after your body I could have left you long ago.”
“Why didn’t you?”
“Because I care about you.”
“If you behave yourself, I’ll come for the holidays and I’ll ask dad or his boss, Mr Norman, for a job to pay for my plane fare.”
They made their way to the pavement where the party was being kept and started dancing.
Morgana had finished her first degree and was off to complete her Masters degree in Business Administration at Mc Clelland International University. She had applied to that institution and had won a scholarship that would provide her with full tuition. It was several thousand dollars less than if she had done it locally. After she completed her degree, she would work for one year with her father’s cousin, Gordon Murdock’s management consultancy firm before returning home.
Stewart had wanted the party to be held at the Mountain Valley Hotel in Irish Town but she told him that her parents would prefer it to be held at their home in the Canrieves area of Upper St. Andrew. The two storey houses had been built in 1990 and had only thirty homes nestled among many fruit trees in the hills of this picturesque and sun drenched parish.
They had invited about forty people to the party and had hired a small sound system to provide the music. The family had gotten the services of a catering firm to do the food and drinks and prepare the party area.
As Morgana and Stewart danced, she could feel the coolness of the night on her back and wondered if she should go inside for a sweater.
She breathed a sigh of satisfaction as she saw friends and family members greeting each other and partaking in the feast. Some persons had brought bathing suits and were in the pool playing around.
Morgana saw her father, Byron, dancing with her mother, Monique, a woman at forty three, five years his junior. Her younger sister, Beverly, only nineteen, was dancing with her boyfriend, Rory Coombs.
Rory and Bev had been going around for about two years now. Bev was two inches or so shorter than her, but with a fuller figure. Rory was a tall, burly man and was twenty years of age. Bev was wearing a pair of blue shorts and a yellow long sleeve pullover.
Stewart went to shake Byron Simmond’s hand.
“Stewart, you’re going to lose your girlfriend for three years. Do you think you can manage it? I know if I was your age, I couldn’t. All I beg of you is not to break her heart.”
He shook Stewart’s hand and slapped him on his back.
Stewart felt a bit uneasy after speaking to Byron. He knew that Morgana had a lot of close relatives besides her immediate family and they were always looking out for her. He didn’t think he would do anything to make what Byron just said come to past.
Byron came from a family of fisherman. Although he now followed a different profession, he couldn’t resist the lure of the sea and had bought a boat. Stewart had gone with the family on a few fishing expeditions.
He went to greet Morgana’s aunt, Sally and her husband, Sid Strudwick. Sally was two years older than her sister, Monique and just as shapely looking, Stewart thought. Sid was a giant of a man towering over his wife and was probably a few years older than her.
“I hope you behave while Morgana is abroad,” Sally warned.
“You know I will, Sally,” Stewart replied.
Stewart knew that when he was in auditing he had often done stock taking work at Sid’s hardware. He was aware that the man had been suspicious that he had slept with at least two of his female employees.
“We know that he won’t,” Sid said and the three of them laughed.
After they had finished laughing, Stewart said.
“I know Morgana will leave me if I don’t stay faithful to her.”
“We’ll see, we’ll see,” Sid said as Morgana returned and she and Stewart started dancing again.

About Featured Book: Stevie Tenderheart Wait a Minute! (A Bedtime Story) by Steve William Laible
Based on a True Story. In this version, the author elevated the wildly popular children’s ‘picture book’ of the same name, to a 6 x 9” full-color illustrated paperback novella [77 pages] so older children can get in on the fun too. It’s a fuller, richer story.
Summary: A warm and ‘tenderhearted’ story of gladness and adventure abound in this amazingly crafted, splendidly illustrated story about a boy and his dinosaur and SO much more. We’re talking about puppies and parrots and rabbits and chicks; frogs and dogs and pollywogs, but we shouldn’t say anymore…surprises and all.
In keeping with the “BED” theme, of his first book, Stevie Tenderheart My Favorite Place to Be…(A Bedtime Story) where Stevie loves his bed SO much, he wishes he could take it everywhere he goes, in this story, Stevie FILLS his bed instead, with ALL of his favorite things. (If you can imagine.) It’s a hilarious bedtime story with calming twists and turns that both parents and kids adore. The animals and their expressions are just too adorable to miss.

About Featured Book: Miserable Lies by Nolon King
[Free from 3/25/2022 through 4/10/2022]
How many wrongs make a right?
Deputy Chief Quentin “Port” Porter is famous for catching the infamous Magistrate Killer, Linus Cole, whose murder spree included his best friend and partner, Miles Tate.
Port’s heroics caught the nation’s imagination, inspiring film and television, and skyrocketing his career while making him famous and wealthy.
Just one problem — Port may have lied about a key element of the case to put Cole away for crimes he was sure he’d committed.
Now, years later, as Cole is scheduled for execution, some are publicly questioning Cole’s guilt. When a new killer strikes using the same M.O. and going after targets related to the original case, Port finds himself searching for answers before the killer strikes again.
His job gets harder when Danica Tate, now a criminal psychologist, is brought in to consult on the case. Despite the fact that Port raised Danica after her father’s death and her mother’s descent into madness, the young woman won’t listen to him when he warns her away. She wants closure, but the deeper she digs, the more doubts she has — not just about the case, but about Port’s role in her father’s death.
Now Port must race against the clock to protect Danica, find the new killer, and prevent the world from learning of his MISERABLE LIES, so a killer doesn’t walk free.
Miserable Lies is a new stand-alone thriller by Nolon King, author of the No Justice series, 12, Pretty Killer, and Hidden Justice.

It is important to understand that there are no ‘good’ or ‘bad’ emotions. Each emotion felt is equally important for the child’s development. Unlike adults who have experienced various scenarios throughout their life, and have learned to deal with their feelings, children simply have not been presented with the number of experiences needed to create their own ‘database’ of emotional references. Without these references, forming emotional solutions and conclusions becomes difficult.
Children need to know that emotions are healthy and we all experience them. A child has the right to feel angry when another child breaks their castle of blocks that took them hours to build; the right to be afraid when they go to the dentist; the right to feel frustrated when something goes wrong and they don’t have answers.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I drew inspiration from some of my favorite fantasy books that involve magic, and as someone who has always been in the minority (female, POC, queer, Pagan in a family of Christians), I wrote what other people like me would want to see. I was inspired by the worlds I wanted to escape to.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I wanted to see strong female protagonists of color in this genre. I also wanted to see more queer characters who were just openly queer.
Book Sample
There’s the ground… slowly getting closer, as I fall… I’m falling… fast… Oh god, here it comes… This is it, isn’t it? This is how I die? Oh, g-
I sit up quickly in my bed. Another nightmare… I keep having them, and they’re always different except for the fact that I’m falling from a great height. I never know if I was pushed, if I jumped, or if I can even save myself. I just always wake up before… splat.
As if the morning weren't bad enough, it’s a Monday, and I start at a new school today. I began getting ready, throwing on some simple clothes, and sitting at my desk. I thought about doing light makeup, maybe just a little concealer to hide the fact that I slept all of two hours last night, but… God, is that a pimple forming? My mom walked in and chuckled to herself, watching me stare at this blemish. I already know she’s thinking “Ah, I remember those days.”
"Marlowe," she said as I turned around. "I won't see you after school today. The hospital wants me to cover an extra shift, something about some dangerous internet trend going around. Anyway, I left my new extension on the kitchen counter in case you need me. Have fun at school, and if you make any friends, feel free to invite them over. No boys, no mess, no parties. Got it?" I smiled at her.
"Got it, mom." She kissed me on my forehead and left. After a moment, I heard her car pull out of the driveway and down the street. I finished getting ready and walked out to my car. I tried to start it but it just made a sad "Eee…" noise. I sighed. I guess I'm walking on my first day. It’s not the first time it’s given me trouble. It’s an old car, my mom bought it from a family friend and I appreciate it, honestly… but didn’t he have a car that at least starts most of the time? I hopped out of the car and threw my bookbag over my shoulder. I had to carry it on my left side since I was in an accident when I was younger, causing my right shoulder, arm, and wrist to be very weak. It wasn’t a major accident, at least, I don’t think it was. I was 10, and all I remember was being in the backseat of a car with my friend… what was her name? Alessia? I don’t know. I never saw her again after that. A car hit us, and the next thing I know is: I’m in the hospital and my mom was yelling at police officers to find the driver. Nothing was broken thankfully, just don’t ask me to throw a ball; I can’t guarantee it’ll go in the direction I want it to.
Honestly, I’m not surprised that the school did jack squat about my injury as far as letting me sit out of certain gym class activities, especially since they put me in the night school program for a fire I didn't even start. I’m almost positive I didn’t start that fire. This girl made me angry in Chemistry, and as I slammed my hand on the desk, her sleeve caught fire and everyone put the blame on me. In any case, this would be much better; the students in night school were terrible and rude to the teacher. One student even punched the teacher in the face. I don't know what happened to her after that.
I finally arrived at my new “stomping ground,” that’s what my mom keeps calling it. Outside the front doors, a few students were standing in groups invested in whatever conversation they were having. Some looked my way curiously as I walked past to get inside. I guess that’s normal since I am new. My heart is pounding, but I’m not nervous… Okay, I’m not that nervous. I feel like I stick out like a sore thumb, and the short walk to the Main Office seemed to last forever. Is it too late to turn around and go home? I’m nauseous. A woman is sitting at the front desk, and from her nameplate, I assume her name is Donna Storm. She looks at me.
"Oh, good morning, what can I do for you?" She asked as she ran her fingers through her light brown bob haircut. She looked younger than the other two women in the back of the office, no older than 29 or 30. I smiled at her politely, but before I could introduce myself, there was a high-pitched clank as Donna’s eyes widened. Her ring slipped right off her finger and rolled across the room, under a chair.
“Oh, Jesus Chr- goodness gracious…” She said in response.
“Here, let me get it,” I said. I quickly went to grab the ring, wiping off a little dust on my jeans.
“That thing is always falling off,” Donna said in annoyance. I remembered something.
“Do you have a rubber band?” I asked. She looked around her desk and pulled a rubber band out of a cute little heart-shaped tin can, which also held a colorful assortment of paper clips and pens. I started to wrap the rubber band around the bottom part of the ring. “My mom taught me this little trick growing up. She said she did it to her engagement ring until she could get it resized,” I said, handing the ring back. Donna slipped it on and looked at her finger with glowing eyes.
“Oh my god, thank you!” She said to me happily, almost as if I were the one that proposed to her.
"You’re welcome.” I glanced at the clock on the wall, remembering why I’m here. “I'm Marlowe Moreau by the way, I'm coming from the night school program." Donna looked confused.
"Night school?" She questioned. "Are you sure it was night school?" Her confusion was contagious, to say the least.
"I'm pretty sure," I began. "Either that or juvenile detention the way those students behave." I thought about being around them again and tensed up. She must have sensed it.
"Oh, okay," she said. "Well let me just print out your schedule." She turned in her swivel chair and started typing at her computer. The two women in the back got up, telling Miss Storm that they had a meeting before leaving. I just stood there staring at my shoes, it's not like I had anyone to text. All of my friends' parents made them cut me off when they heard about the incident. Miss Storm got up and went through a door on the side of the room with a sign that said: "COPY ROOM NO STUDENTS ALLOWED."
I heard the door to the office open behind me and turned around to see who it was. In walked a girl wearing light blue jeans, white ballet flats, and a white halter top. She swung her curly blonde hair over her shoulder and glared at me. Honestly, she was very pretty, but the amount of makeup she had on aged her tremendously… but who am I to judge?
"Take a picture, it lasts longer,” she said. Apparently, beauty is only skin deep in this case.
“Wow, someone woke up on the wrong side of the tanning bed this morning," I said. She looked shocked. Obviously, she mistook me for someone who could be walked all over.
"What are you, one of those night school rejects they warned us about?" She asked. I turned to face her.
"Hun, it is 8 in the morning, calm down. I just got here. Also, I survived that place. If you went there for five minutes, they'd destroy that pretty little face of yours," I said. She rolled her eyes and looked away, I turned back towards the desk.
How long does it take to get one paper? I’m getting anxious.
"Is that what happened to your face?" She whispered. I looked around. Was she talking to me?
"Really?" I asked. "It took you that long to figure out an insult a five-year-old could come up with?" I laughed, clasping my shaky hands in front of me. Just then the door opened again, and in walked a girl with wavy brown hair that perfectly framed her heart-shaped face, a black button-down shirt with a purple cami underneath that complemented her green eyes, and converse sneakers. She looked nice but I've learned my lesson from Blondie here.
"W-well at least I'm not a night school reject!" Blondie screamed. I rolled my eyes.
"Come back when you have a better insult, sweetie. You sound like a broken record," I stated, she scoffed in response, which sounded more like a squeak. The girl with the brown hair stepped in between us.
"Hey, hey, hey, guys calm down," she said. "Lorelei, don't you have better things to do than to pick on new students?" The blonde girl, who I now know as “Lorelei”, rolled her eyes and left the office. Good riddance. The brown-haired girl turned to me and by her expression, I can tell we were on the same page about not liking Lorelei. She held out her hand and smiled.
"Hi, I'm Fiona," she said. "Fiona de la Fuente." I shook her hand and smiled back.
"Marlowe Moreau." Miss Storm finally came out of the copy room and handed me my schedule.
"Sorry I took so long," she said. "The printer ran out of ink, when I tried to fix it, it jammed." She laughed at her own clumsiness. Fiona looked over my shoulder at my schedule and then to Miss Storm and myself.
"Her first-period class is on the way to mine. I can show her the way," she said. Miss Storm thought for a moment, then nodded.
“Okay, fine. I trust you two,” she said, winking at us. Fiona and I walked out of the office and down the hall. Many people were already in class, but the bell didn’t ring yet.
"Sorry about Lorelei," Fiona said. "She has a habit of making things difficult for other people." I laughed.
"Difficult? Her? No, she seems like a sweetheart," I said sarcastically. Fiona laughed.
"Everything should be fine, as long as you steer clear of her and her best friend Morgan Cane. We used to call them the ‘Nightmare Sisters.’" I rolled my eyes.
"They sound pleasant." We continued down the hall, making small talk about my old school. To my surprise, she didn’t seem turned off by the fact that I was in night school. I left out the fire and that being the reason I’m here now, I just told her there was a misunderstanding but we were moving anyway. I felt like a small misunderstanding is less extreme than a fire randomly starting and igniting the sleeve of a girl I didn’t like. Again, she didn’t seem bothered by this. In East Meadow, if someone said they went to night school, they instantly became a social pariah. I feel safe with Fiona, it feels like I’ve known her my whole life. As weird as that sounds, she feels familiar to me. Given how quickly my old friends cut me off, however, I’m cautiously optimistic about this budding friendship.

We seek answers to many questions, yet these can never be told to you; as they can only be learnt by you. Why are we here, where did we come from, what is our purpose? Just to name a few. All this will begin to make sense before the end of this book, your life will have a new meaning and you will never again see living as the same.
Life is your very own faithful servant, but if not guided it can however become a terrible master. This all depends on whether you’re consciously creating the life you want, or if you’ve been habitually reacting to the conditions in your life. One manifests an ideal situation, while the other perpetuates unwanted life events. This book will interpret for you the story of creation, which will reveal the life changing truth for all.
The beginning you read about was only a development, and was not necessarily the origin of all that is. It was the beginning of time and the emergence of matter; but it wasn’t the origin of life. What we call the Big bang was just a life changing event, which mankind not only depends on but also seeks redemption from. The beginning and the end, for those who believe the truth, is the duration of an eternal energy while being made manifest as matter.
The thoughts presented are reflective of the scriptures, not as physical actions but as your own mental states; but they remain aligned with its motivated purpose which is for your redemption. To have knowledge of what is, what was and what will be; will allow you to better understand the visible world, and the world that is not yet made visible. You will also gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between the world that is eternal, and that which is limited by time.
We can only comprehend within the limits of our thoughts, and discuss amidst what the adequacy of our language permits. But your ability to see doesn’t determine all that is, and this will open your mind and excite your body. Knowledge is infinite, and is always evolving, what you currently know to be true is only true to the extent of the knowledge you currently have. What you now know may be right, but what is not yet known about it could also possibly make it wrong.
What good is having knowledge if you lack the understanding or the depth of what it really is, and what value is understanding if you don’t have the knowledge to actively express exactly what you have understood. To have both knowledge and understanding creates wisdom, and in that you will find a belief in the truth that will set you free.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Initially I began making a note of all I knew that i wanted to pass on to my kids. But then knowledge that was previously unknown to me kept showing up in my thoughts. I then decided to write a book and the chapters and title came to me as easy as the decision. This book has taught me the writer, as much as it will teach the reader.
Book Sample
Life will either be a mindless or a mindful dramatization of the questions you are asking, these answers are realized by you as expressions in your own reality. The generations before knew and they wrote, but these writings reflected the truth based on how it was recognized by their understanding. However, the truth is not concealed; only disguised by our need to experience what is real. Those who know have not yet understood, and those who understand erroneously assume they've already known. This book distinctively interprets the story of creation, in an effort to reveal these answers as the truth that sets us free.
The beginning you read about was only a development, and not necessarily our origin. Time is not everlasting, it's forever being depleted; time only exists as a derivative that became the norm between death and life. What we call the Big bang was just a life changing event, on which mankind not only depends; but it's also that from which we are seeking redemption. The beginning and the end, for creatures accepting the truth, is consciousness engaged as the creator recognizing its awareness as the creation.
This is not the story of creation, it is a story about creation. The process of creating is a mystery, yet it must be consciously performed by you, in every aspect of your life, although it is already the very nature of your Being. Inside these chapters you will discover the answers to many of life's questions, including those of life itself. You will even find answers to questions that you have not yet thought to ask. Raising deeper questions to the surface, therefore elevating you to a new level of enlightenment.
Some have the knowledge while others have the understanding, for those who find both will enjoy the reward; which is wisdom. You have everything you will ever need, even at this very moment, presently inside you. You simply lack the wisdom to bring it forth into your physical experience. Your seeking should be to know, since all there is to find is nothing; because once you know, you will be blinded by the light that was you all along.

How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
My comprehensive manual, a big-picture book inherently interweaves all things fashion. To achieve a circular, new, healthy approach, a multi-faceted approach is addressed. A diverse culmination of topics- from fashion psychology to fashion technology is included.
We are at the time of a spiritual awakening. The fashion industry is in a bit of transition right now. We are slowly catching on to producing and promoting fashion in pursuit of the mind/body/spirit.
My book speaks about multi-dimensional apparel as a part of the spiritual awakening. Meaning, fashion that supports us physically, mentally, emotionally, energetically, and spiritually.
I wanted to write a book that would be attributed as modern, fresh, and high-fashion for a new age. I have been fashion-obsessed, and I consider myself a fashion ‘psychic.’ I have spent a lot of time and energy creating new concepts for fashion both through artistic, philosophical and through a lot of research as well.

The Christian life was never meant to be a stagnant life; it was instead meant to be an active life that always seeks the next and higher level in Christ Jesus.
To this end, the Bible exhorts Christians to mature in knowledge and in how they carry themselves as they walk the earth. The Bible is truly a great teacher on issues pertaining to Christian personal growth and transformation.
INSPIRATIONAL SHORT SERMONS carries several short, uplifting, and insightful teachings, each of which can be read within 10 minutes.
The teachings, which are designed to help you to become much more than a name-plate Christian, will leave you with challenging thoughts and questions to consider as you go about your business.
The teachings will also stimulate self-introspection and encourage you to take your faith to a higher level, becoming more and more like the Lord not only in word but also in deed – thus living the Christian life to the full.

The book started as short Christian articles. I would write an article each time I got inspired while reading my Bible.
Whenever I came across a powerful Bible verse, I would write an article on it, because I believed it would be of help to other Christians.
I am Christian; what I find important other Christians are likely to find important as well, so I thought.

"Now this was John's testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, 'I am not the Christ.'" – John 1:19 (NIV)
John (the Baptist) was a great man. The Bible says, "There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John" – John 1:6 (NIV)
Some people thought that John was the Christ. John could easily have claimed to be the Christ, and many would have believed and treated him as such.
But John had pure motives and chose not to reduce himself to that level. Instead, he confessed freely, "I am not the Christ.”
Some people openly claim to be the Christ. We have a problem, but the problem does not emanate from such people.
Our problem emanates from people who by their words claim not to be the Christ, but their actions brazenly claim otherwise.
With their actions, such people say, "I am the Christ and you've to treat me accordingly."
Check your words. Check your actions. Nothing about you should suggest, even remotely, that you consider yourself to be the Christ!

Neil Johnstone’s soul is heading for eternal torture in Hell when he dies thanks to some dark magic in his employment contract.
For the past twenty years he has worked as an office administrator in Bleak & Fargon, a demonic multinational company that hunts and traps people, and their souls, by signing them up to their sole product called Peace. Peace renders the unlucky recipient practically invisible to the world, wholly insignificant, and forgotten by anyone who ever knew them.
Neil hates his job. His employers make him a tempting offer, a way out of his misery. Either he remains trapped in Peace or he can be freed provided he does the unimaginable and swaps his place in Hell with his own mother.
He’s thinking about it. Neil has some serious mother issues, but can he really do what it takes to save his own damned soul?
He seems to think so.
Targeted Age Group:: 18+
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The core idea of the book was influenced by a few factors. In the 1980s there was a speculative TV show called The Twilight Zone. As a teenager I was inspired by the memorable, creative and extreme what-if scenarios. I didn't think back then about writing my own speculative fiction story, that didn't happen until I began this novel a few years ago and discovered that The Twilight Zone's influence had stood the test of time.
For years I worked in various administrative roles in several companies and was saddened at times observing how mindless negative behaviours or actions would conveniently be jotted off to 'just business'. Trapped in Peace at its core is a good vs evil story based in a multinational company and my work experience lended credibility to the setting, and the 'just-business' cop-out attitude, well, that stuck to my psyche just like the Zone. Lastly, the overarching influence and continuing guiding light for this project was a spiritual element, specifically the theme of forgiveness, one that on my own personal spiritual path I have found both intriguing and, admittedly, at times a struggle to apply on a practical level. I've read plenty of non-fiction on the subject but wanted to explore through fiction just how damaging it can be to hold on to anger, fear, resentment and unforgiveness.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Most characters were created by a snippet of observation of people, combining one's facial feature, or clothes and another's gesture, or out of office interest, add a dollop of creativity and hey-ho a character comes to life.
The main character, Neil Johnstone, proved perplexing to create and flesh-out as the protagonist. The problem with him is that he has ugly characteristics; he's bitter, and goes through life with one helluva chip on his shoulder. He's at times, vile, angry, lost, hurt, vengeful. He was difficult to root for. But yet he intrigued me the more he came to life on the pages. I fluctuated at times in thinking what a horrible person, he's getting his just deserts in life and rightly so, to then feeling pity for him and rooting for him to turn things around. He experiences the extreme what-if; what if I was trapped in a demonic multi-national company fighting for my soul to be free and not be heading on a one-way trip to Hell for eternity. What-if I was offered a way out?
Although, in spiritual terms, Neil is best described as a lower-vibrational character, consequently that potentially meant for a richer journey story, and as a writer that was too irresistible not to explore.

About the book:
No mask can hide the truth…
Alex Kincaid is 24 years old and leads a relatively quiet life in a small college town. As an employee of Galen Industries, she spends her free time with her co-workers like Emma Bastian, who wants to constantly meddle in Alex’s love life. That’s what friends do, right?
But Alex is too preoccupied with the odd letter she’s received – one that grants her a large inheritance from a total stranger, including a magical mask that’s going to change Alex’s life forever.
After an attempt on her life, Alex is horrified to see the mask take the shape of her face. It’s endowed with the powers of the ancient sky deity Horus, the protector of order. But now Alex is in danger because Set, the god of storms and chaos, has vowed to take revenge against Horus for killing his lover. And since the mask fuses the personalities of its previous owners, Alex’s own identity is in danger of being lost forever.
As Alex and her friends attempt to solve the mystery, the stakes keep rising. With Set hot on Alex’s trail, not to mention her growing feelings for her co-worker Gabriel Reyes, she must thread the needle of destiny and fulfillment.
The Secrets of the Kings is a thrilling story about who we really are. Author Nora Delzelle weaves a gripping tale of ancient love and modern society into a compelling fantasy. And as the mystery is eventually revealed, one thing soon becomes clear: no mask can hide the truth.

About Featured Book: The Twelve Doors by Vicente Raga
NOW IN ENGLISH! Very special launch price, JUST $2.99 for a few days!
1 bestseller in Spain, Mexico and the United States (Spanish Version) – #1 bestseller historical thriller and mystery series in Spain for more than a year – More than 600.000 readers
“The Twelve Doors is the best saga of thrillers I have read in ten years. With simple language that manages to keep you in suspense until the last line. You finish a chapter and you need to read the next one. Vicente Raga it’s a real find.” Harald Brook, Tribuna Libre.
“Sell more than Ken Follet last Christmas in Spain is far from the reach of many. In my house, there isn’t one that hasn’t read it, even my three sons. Dynamic narrative and a documented novel. Very recommendable.” Roberto Marín, Florida Books.
Do you want to enter the universe of The Twelve Doors? Think about it, because once you enter, it will be difficult to turn around… Two stories are narrated in parallel. The first one is in The Jewish quarter of Valencia, Spain, where some kids stumble upon a secret society that still exists nowadays. All the characters existed in their time period and every narrated fact occurred in reality. The second story stars a group of friends, led by the charismatic and mysterious historian Rebecca Mercader, the main character, that must solve a centennial mystery.
The reader changes the story every 4-5 pages. Different characters and tales are separated from each other by more than six hundred years. It looks like two novels in one. The reader starts asking himself, why this? Why am I reading two stories that have no connections? The simple answer, my friend, is that you will figure it out if you keep reading, after all. Maybe they have more connections than you think and nothing is what it seems.
Mystery, thriller and real history, a cocktail that makes the universe of The Twelve Doors a novel series that is entertaining and easy to read, that WON’T ALLOW YOU TO PUT THE BOOK DOWN, but at the same time, based on real facts.

He is not a buffoon, though if something can go wrong for him, it will.
Gordon’s love life has not been successful , but he falls in love with a lovely redhead he gave a speeding ticket. The budding romance gets complicated when his new love turns out to be the major suspect in a murder case.

When I was 12 years old my mother died of cancer, now I'm on a mission to ensure no child has to go through what I did, ever again.
Book Sample
One of the most remarkable scientific discoveries in recent decades is that over 90% of diseases that exist today are metabolic in nature. In other words, no disease pathology can be looked at independently from metabolism. This means that for virtually all diseases, including Cancer, the genetic component has been vastly overestimated. From a practical sense, what this means is that if somebody in your family has or had a certain disease, you are in no way destined to develop it – and many times, you’re not even at increased risk at all. It is your hands on the steering wheel.
Since virtually all diseases are metabolic in nature, understanding how the body’s metabolism works and maintaining its efficient function is the key to health and longevity. When cells are unable to use oxygen, methylene blue can act like the missing enzyme, which quickly restores oxidative metabolism. This basic action can explain the long list of healing benefits methylene blue can offer – all with practically no negative side effects. It’s not difficult to see why the World Health Organization has added methylene blue to its list of Essential Medicines.

When her best friend is murdered, Pauline Riddell finds she must take the law into her own hands if she is to see justice done.
It’s northern England, 1953, rationing is still in place and the Cold War is heating up. But Pauline can see better times ahead, a home, a family, a responsible job, and she’s preparing for that future. Then her friend, Marjorie, is stabbed to death.
At first, Pauline is only concerned with helping the police. She’s intelligent and resourceful but also inexperienced, just out of school and still believing the world runs in trustworthy ways.
Then she finds the police think they’ve caught her friend’s killer and they’re winding down the investigation. Pauline now realizes this is a world where you can’t always leave things to others, you have to get involved yourself. But, as she investigates and puts pressure on the police for more action, she finds the killer wants her out of the way and the police have come to suspect she killed her friend. Can she catch the killer before she either faces the same fate as Marjorie or is hanged for killing her?

Late for the Wedding by MK Scott
The Senior Sleuths don’t mind a little peace now and then, but after a long bout of nothing out of the ordinary, they’re eager for some excitement.
No one could’ve imagined it would arrive with such a bang.
A mysterious explosion has rocked the assisted living community, disrupting life for everyone.
Despite the stern warnings from authorities, one of the Senior Sleuths can’t help but get involved. This is their home, after all.
Herman, always eager to root out the truth, ignores the warnings and hunts for answers. He’s convinced the explosion was a rouse to cover up something far more sinister. But the other seniors aren’t as eager to get involved. They’re focused on Marcy and Lance’s upcoming wedding.
Without his usual sidekicks, can Herman track down the bomber and a missing veteran who no one else remembers?

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I spent a decade at a convalescent center and made friends with the residents. Their wit and spunk impressed me.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Some of the characters are loosely based on people I met at the center. The other fifty percent are purely fictional.
Book Sample
Gus glanced at his watch, stood, and patted his companion’s shoulder. “You go find us a juicy case. I got a date with my gal. We’re part of a trivia team. Our specialty is serial killers.”
“Of course it is.” Herman waved to his friend and then continued to speculate on his current dilemma. The only cold cases they received came via Lance, Marcy’s partner. With no Marcy at the center, Lance failed to come by with armfuls of cold cases to interest the recovering detective, which meant he’d have to dig up his own unsolved mystery.
A loud boom erupted behind Herman, resulting in his jumping to his feet, placing a hand on his racing heart, and turning toward the center as bits of wood, shingles, and drywall showered him and the lawn. Gus lay prone on the ground with his hands covering his head. Not thinking twice about the noise and its origin, Herman dashed as much as his stiff knees would allow to his friend’s side. “Are you okay?” He gasped the words as he lowered himself beside his friend.
Gus lifted his head, shaking off a shingle particle, and asked, “Are we being bombed?”
Using his flattened hand as a sun-shield, Herman peered at the sky. “No planes in sight.”
There was no word of reproach for his friend who automatically assumed enemy fire. Complacency delivered many a soldier to an early grave. The words uttered years ago by his drill sergeant returned. Observe the area and check for the slightest thing awry. Herman stared at the single-story, rambling building with the gable roof.
Herman offered his hand to help Gus up, which he took. They both stood and hugged tightly, patting each other on the back. After a few seconds, they separated and delivered half-hearted shoulder punches to each other.
“I don’t know what got into me,” Herman muttered, running a hand over his face. “I saw you on the ground and I thought…” He paused and shook his head. “Oh, never mind.”
Gus inhaled deeply and said, “Me, too.”
Nothing more needed to be said by the two veterans. They turned in unison to study the roof. A dirty gray smoke clouded the sky, pouring from the ragged, blackened hole that hadn’t been there seconds before.
Gus pushed down his sunglasses and squinted. “What do you think happened?”
Well aware his friend refused to wear glasses because it might make him look old, Herman wondered how much he could distinguish. After taking an audible breath, Herman admitted, “I have no clue, but I think we were just handed our next mystery. We need to round up the troops.”

Geno and Vinnie Come to America (Freedom) by FLIP Roberts
Geno and Vinnie were born on the banks of the Urubamba River between Cusco and Machu Picchu, Peru. This area is known as the Sacred Valley. Geno and Vinnie came to be from different parents, but they became inseparable after birth. They made a promise to travel together to the shores of the U.S. of A. Little did they know that their mothers had made a deal with the owner of the Alejandro Alpaca Ranch to send their children to the land of the free.
The adventures that follow are the travels and experiences of Geno and Vinnie and their search for freedom in America. Their story is perfect as Alpacas are great story tellers.
Phil Roberts is an entrepreneur, creative writer, gardener, dog lover and friend of Geno & Vinnie. Having lived in the countryside for 42 years, he loves to gaze at the stars on a warm summer’s night. Geno and Vinnie came to share the Country Escape seven years ago and have added to the ambiance of the property’s’ unique setting. It was Geno and Vinnie that inspired the writing of the Freedom Series books as an expression of the joy that they experienced as they were allowed to run untethered on the property. Freedom is a unique and valuable right to both cherish and embrace as individuals of society. The interactions with animals and their uniqueness with self is a joy to be experienced like no other. Mr. Roberts’ vision is to share this through his writings of children’s books.

A gripping historical drama—the origin of Greek mythology’s Medusa is uniquely explored and reimagined in this allegorical work of historical fiction that takes us back to Ancient Greece during the rise of the Mycenaeans.
In 1650 BC, King Oceanus, a self-proclaimed lord of the sea, arrives with his soldiers on the shore of Tiryns and begins a struggle for power and dominance.
Thais, the Tiryns chieftain’s daughter, is caught between her father’s wish for peace without bloodshed, and the senior councilman’s desire to wage war. Yet the biggest threat to the people of Tiryns is not the soldiers in the plains but the growing division within the city.
Seeing no other option to end the pending war, Thais’ mother strikes a bargain with their Mother Goddess, trading her life for her daughter’s future. Thais is left to discover what her mother bargained for while lies, deceit, and secrets propel her and all of her people into one epic struggle for survival.

Tales from the Trail: Stories from the Oldest Hiker Hostel on the Appalachian Trail by Sherry Blackman
During the 2020 pandemic, one thing held true: Scores of people headed out for a day hike on the Appalachian Trail (AT) as if being in the woods, immersed in beauty and mystery, immunized them against an unseen enemy. The Appalachian Trail (AT) became a hospital for souls locked up in quarantine, needing to breathe, stretch, and be nourished by the earth beneath their feet.
For decades, the Appalachian Trail (AT) has been a sanctuary for seekers, the tired and the lost; those hungry for renewal, the broken and the grieving; and those who want to face and answer questions they have lugged around with them in invisible backpacks. Questions like, what is next for me? Is there a God? Should I live or end it all? How can I liberate my life from what weighs it down? How can I forgive God?
This book pays tribute to those who dare such a grueling and soul-satisfying adventure. It tells the tales of those on a pilgrimage through insightful conversations and encounters, exploring and revealing what angels the hikers wrestle with in the wilderness who call out to name them again. This collection unveils the spirituality of any such journey in sometimes humorous, sometimes heart-wrenching portraits.
Tales from the Trail explores what it means to be human.
Targeted Age Group:: Adult
Heat/Violence Level: Heat Level 3 – PG-13
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I wanted to pay tribute to the hikers who dared to walk the 2200-mile Appalachian Trail, to strip their lives down to its bare bones, to forsake their conventional lives for months to complete. As a journalist, I wanted to investigate what drives someone to undertake this often-grueling adventure. Why are they doing it? What lessons have they learned by the time they reach the hostel that lies mid-way on the AT? Writing their stories was a way to investigate what it means to be human, and how being immersed in the cathedral of the wild heals the deepest wounds in us all, most that are invisible to the naked eye.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Tales from the Trail is more than a collection of stories drawn from the oldest, continuously running Appalachian Trail hiker hostel, located in Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania. It’s about the sanctuary people find in the great outdoors, about finding renewal, making transitions, grieving, reinventing a life. People come from all over the world to hike the trail and stay with us. Everyone is on their own soul-searching pilgrimage. This book shares their struggles and their longings, as well as their life-changing discoveries.
Book Sample
“The 2,200-mile Appalachian Trail starts at Springer Mountain, Georgia, ends at Mount Katahdin, Maine, and runs through the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. On the map, the trail is drawn in red, perhaps as a way to speak for the sheer strength and determination required to walk it, for the blood that will be shed along the way, for blisters endured, and for blackened toenails lost. The trail wounds those who walk it with its demands and beauty, its wildness and solitude. It challenges hikers to know themselves as they have never known themselves before.”

Files reveal plans that could have saved hundreds of thousands of Jews from Nazi extermination.
New evidence has come to light regarding the destiny of Jews in Nazi Europe. An extraordinary opportunity of salvation almost crystallized into actuality. Central European Jewry was on the brink of being rescued.The heart of the matter was the fact that a country of salvation did indeed exist in the years leading up to the Second World War. Northern Rhodesia was in reality absorbing Jewish refugees freely and legitimately. This information was veiled and stifled. Nobody exposed the existence of this haven. This was the dark continent’s dark secret.

Stevie shares the magic of the night with your children. #GigglesAssured

Stevie books have received 600+ Goodreads ratings/reviews with the best review: “Best Children’s Author to come along since Dr. Seuss.” [As if, but still, pretty cool, huh?] Worst: “Too many words.”
Stevie books help parents put their kids to bed on time, every time. Just be mindful when you say, “It’s Stevie time.” They will likely hear, “It’s TV time.” [And that’s on you.] “-)
Stevie books provide a splendid bonding experience for parents and their kids at bedtime. (5-10 pages a night ought to do the trick.)

In the aftermath of the Big Crash, the President of the United States declares martial law. The National Guard rounds up citizens who are never heard from again. While fear and chaos reign, a small band of revolutionaries rise up to resist.
Lacy Monroe, barely out of high school, never saw herself as a leader. All that changed after the Big Crash. When the rest of her family fled, she remained on the farm, the last piece of land in the state holding out against the hostile government. Alone and vulnerable, she endures a horrific attack, yet survives and offers sanctuary to others like herself—until an old friend turns her world upside-down.
Jace Cooper has harbored a secret for years—he is completely in love with his best friend’s sister. The world is crumbling around them, no one knows how long they will survive, and all he wants is to protect Lacy and stay with her.
With the National Guard circling ever closer, hunger and sickness taking a toll, and betrayal and jealousy threatening to destroy the group from the inside, the struggle to hold onto the farm pushes them to the brink. And Lacy is keeping a secret so devastating it could drive Jace to unthinkable actions. Is the farm a safe asylum—or will the fight for freedom destroy them?

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The inspiration for this book came from asking myself some hard questions. What would happen if everything we've come to depend on as a society was stripped away from us? Could I survive without electricity and the convenience of a grocery store? More importantly, could my children?
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Most of the characters are a conglomeration of people I know. Lacy is the personification of all three of my daughters. The nefarious uncle in the story is loosely based off of someone.
Book Sample
State Capitol, Austin, Texas
When U.S. Senator Thomas Monroe foresaw
America’s downfall and began to declare a
national economic crisis, he had no idea he’d be
sitting at the helm of a revolution.
On a stifling July day, two months after the “Big Crash,”
Thomas sat brooding at his desk. A strong, healthy man in his
late fifties with more grey hair than black, he considered
himself worthy of the task. He’d serve the Federal Reserve
chairwoman, who labeled him Dr. Doom-n-Gloom, a big piece
of crow pie the next time they crossed paths. She negated his
warnings with one demeaning Forbes Magazine interview.
He shook his head, exasperated. “As if anyone could definitively
say there wouldn’t be another financial crisis in our lifetime,”
he muttered. “Look where we are now.”
He unbuttoned his shirt’s top button, loosened his black
Armani tie. Because the Wolves of Wall Street ignored the
blinding, red warning signs, the economy had spiraled into a
bottomless pit. As a result, panic swept the country in waves of
riots, looting, and arson.
He sunk back in his chair. Uneasiness crept up his spine
like a spider. He disagreed with the president’s martial law
declaration and new economic reform policy through forced
labor camps.
Unsure whether to follow the president’s new law, the
Texas governor looked to him for leadership. At Thomas’
urging, the State of Texas signed a secession agreement. Once
again its own Republic, the Lone Star State set a precedent
and California followed its lead. His involvement with the
insurrection put a bull’s eye on his back. With the stroke of a
pen, he made an enemy of the president.
He leaned forward, shuffled through some papers and
picked up a surveillance photo of his family farm in Oklahoma,
taken two days before. The picture captured his niece leading a
huge sorrel horse to pasture. He studied her image with grave
intent. Wind whipped her jet-black hair creating a veil that hid
her pixie-like features. To say he felt no apprehension when he
found it was his nineteen-year-old niece, Lacy, had agreed to
stay would be a lie.
Guilt wormed its way into his gut. “She’s no bigger than a
half-pint of ale,” he murmured. “What in God’s name were you
thinking, Emmett?”
He hadn’t spoken to his brother, Emmett, in years. Their
mother had been the wedge between them, her passing the
farm to him on her deathbed hammered the final nail into the
coffin of their relationship. When he called Emmett asking for
help, he hoped they’d patch things up, start fresh, but Emmet
refused to bury the past. Instead, he left his young daughter
behind to be the necessary beneficiary he needed to occupy the
farm. The image of a sacrificial lamb popped into his head.
Irritated, he dropped the photo on the file marked “Land
Trust.” His family farm now sat securely in the independent
State of Texas’ hands. Oklahoma no longer had jurisdiction
over those forty acres.
A short staccato rap jolted his heart.
“Excuse me, senator?” His assistant poked his head around
the door, his blonde bangs hung like macramé fringe covering
his eyes. “I have a new report.”
Thomas flicked two fingers in the air, motioning the young
man inside. “From where?”
“Oklahoma, sir.” He shuffled inside. “We just got a message
from one of our operatives at the Texas-Oklahoma border.” He
hesitated.
“Go on,” he ordered.
“Sir, they’ve organized the National Guard and are moving
across the state. They are gathering all citizens they can find
and hauling them by train to Fort Sill.”
Deep lines formed over his brow. He rubbed at the
mounting pressure. “If we want control over Oklahoma, we’ll
have to move fast.”
The nervous assistant ran sweaty hands over his khaki
pants. “We don’t have much time.”
Thomas reached in his shirt pocket for his Marlboros,
flipped out a cigarette and lit the tip. The sulfuric smell, the rag
paper between his fingers, settled his nerves.
“Do we have any news on Jake Cooper? He was supposed
to get a man inside the National Guard we can trust. I hoped
that would be his youngest son, Jace.”
“No, sir. Not a word.” The young man edged to the door,
his feet shuffling across the shiny tile floor.
“Well, keep trying Jake’s cell and land line. Oh, and check
the telegraph machine.” He pulled an ashtray from his desk
drawer and stubbed his cigarette. “That’s all, William.”
The young man left with a hasty “Yes, sir,” thrown over his
shoulder.
Thomas frowned. He needed a man on the inside who
could control the actions of the National Guard in Osage
County. His plan hinged on it. It would be a tough move.
Strings would have to be pulled. Carefully. He tapped his
fingers on his desk. Where in the blue blazes was Jake
Cooper?

“Spellbinding and bewitching, When Wishes Bleed is the perfect mix of magic, danger, death, and love.” – #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Jennifer L. Armentrout
One Prince. One Witch. One Fate.
The upheaval in my life began the moment a prince stumbled into my house and asked me to read his fortune. Any other night, I might have made an excuse to get him to leave, but this was no normal visit. My fingers prickled to touch him. So, I granted his request by handing him a single wishbone. When he snapped it, the wish … bled.
Hearing me suck in a shocked breath, he asked what it meant. Such an ominous omen could only mean one thing: his death was imminent. Fate revealed that he wouldn’t die of natural causes. Someone wanted him dead. Stunned by the revelation, the man I now knew as Prince Tauren disappeared into a night I feared he wouldn’t survive.
The following day, I received an invitation to the castle. While it seemed the prince believed I could intervene and uncover who was plotting his death, his motives didn’t stop there. I was being summoned to join twelve other women in vying for the opportunity to be his wife and future queen. Going could mean jeopardizing my plans to reclaim my heritage and resurrect the House of Fate. But staying would guarantee Tauren’s death, and the blood of his wish would be on my hands.

About the Book
Property Quadrants is a concept I was inspired to create in relation to property investing after reading Robert Kiyosaki’s “Why the rich are getting richer” book that explains his cash flow quadrants. Property Quadrants examines the four ways that real estate investing works and takes the reader through real life stories of how I have helped people turn their lives around using the formulas outlined in the quadrants. The real life examples also list all the numbers on passive income portfolios and explain how to get there.
My inspiration is around shedding the shackles of stress and struggle. I have made millions, lost millions and had to start all over again with nothing. My path back to making millions after experiencing the struggle of loss, has inspired me to write this book in order to show people how to secure their financial future through real estate.
The way I see it is that property is either your biggest cost making you cash poor or your biggest asset making your cash rich. Property Quadrants shows how anyone, no matter where they are starting from, can use property to become cash rich and help others do the same.
Quadrants one and two explain cash poor property, how making an emotional purchase means that you have to pay your mortgage or mortgages out of your wages. Effectively this leads the majority of people to being cash poor and living a life of struggle. That is why 80% of investors only have one investment property.
Quadrants three and four explain cash rich property. Quadrant 3 demonstrates how to work with property to make active income. As well as lump sums of cash to buy the lifestyle you want and get the deposit for investment property.
Quadrant four outlines my formula to buy passive income property. Once you have passive income, you secure your future as you no longer rely on a job and you can pay your family home off quicker and buy those quadrant two properties without draining your pockets.

Free from Feb 28th through March 8th, 2022.
Cascade Labs said it was impossible for a robot to harm a human – it violates the code. But the murders of Bronson Dodge’s wife and daughter proved otherwise. To keep him close and quiet, Cascade Labs gave Bronson a lucrative job that channeled his need for revenge into hunting down robots who’ve evolved beyond their programming.
So heavily augmented that he’s practically a robot himself, Bronson hunted robots for Cascade until he retired. His nanite augmentations are now coming to the end of their life cycle and Bronson’s days are numbered.
But when Cascade engineer Isla Bligh comes to him for help, he decides to take on one last mission that goes against everything he believes: protecting a robot who shouldn’t exist from Cascade’s next generation of hunters.
Ava is a new kind of synthetic human, appearing to be a flesh and blood in every way, but she represents the next step in human-robot evolution. Bronson would’ve gleefully hunted her down himself … before his retirement.
Too bad he’s desperate for money – not to prolong his own pointless life, but to make amends ahead of his death.
Can Bronson overcome his own prejudices and smuggle Ava to safety under the noses of Cascade’s best hunters?

Immerse yourself in the intelligence, wisdom, and majesty of the wolf as you journey through wolf-history heretofore unknown by humanity. Discover what every dog knows about the true beginnings of human civilization. You will find yourself wondering if it really did happen this way.
It was the age of the lone wolf, an ancient time of isolation and hostility. When Arn and Versa, two of the most powerful wolves to ever roam the earth, clash in a mighty battle lasting two days and two nights they collapse on the battlefield, virtually drained of life. Only by helping each other can they survive certain death. Forced to trust each other, they overcome the poisoned blood of the lone wolf and forge a super-partnership never before enjoyed by any other carnivore.
Fully healed, they become The First Wolf Pack, a hunting machine dominating all lands they choose.
Lone wolves, pressed to survive, form alliances in an attempt to destroy The First Wolf Pack. While their adversaries assemble, Arn and Versa must teach their extraordinary offspring the secrets of pack life.
For The First Wolf Pack to survive, the most gifted of their young offspring, Tria, must grow up quickly, battling countless foes and her own deep flaws. Soon she becomes the invincible wolf others fear; destroying all enemies in her path, but her spirit remains empty and broken. Suffering great internal struggles to overcome her unparalleled power, brutality, and suspicious nature, Tria must learn to forgive and trust those who misunderstood her.
She embarks on an epic sojourn across continents and time in an attempt to change the course of wolf, dog, and human history. But the question remains—can she fulfill the improbable destiny that awaits her?
The legend is shared by the narrator, a British dog named Bingley, who has been granted the right to speak “human” by the great wolf spirit. Discover how The First Wolf Pack created The Wolf Ways and, in the process, how wolves and humans came together to create the ancestors of modern dogs.
Targeted Age Group:: Adults
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The First Wolf Pack: A Dog’s Fable, my first book, was inspired by several disparate factors. Love of dogs and wolves, fascination with ancient foundational myths, the grandeur of God’s creation, and contemplating the purpose of fireflies in the grand scheme of creation. Somehow these things coalesced into a story about overcoming ignorance, narcissism, suspicion, and self-pity.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Other than the historical characters who are obvious, my anthropomorphized wolves are amalgamations of certain personality traits of people I have known, blended with the personalities of dogs I have had the honor to adopt. I love all of the members of The First Wolf Pack. If I had to pick one, I’d pick two—Arn and Tria. They each had the most psychologically complex personalities, especially their recoveries from selfishness and ignorance.
Book Sample
Perhaps in no other being is the will to survive greater than in the wolf. Essential to the survival of the lone wolves and continuing through to the prospering of The First Wolf Pack was the tenacity that lay at the core of their nature. It was through the teaching of The Magnificent Ones that persistence was tempered and thus perfected. Blind, persistent suspicion after all was part of what doomed countless generations of my ancestors to paltry lives, but fortunately it was the will to survive that kept them from extinction.
Jett recalled Tria’s explanation how Arn and Versa discovered that persistence required a sister who they knew as discernment, and how they discovered that their decisions based on a life dedicated to each other provided them with much more than the individual gave up. They also knew when to apply their natural persistence to battle, to the hunt, and to leadership. Tria once said to Jett about
the alphas, “They were the first to discover that at times, a growl was superior to a bite.”
Jett found no doubt or flaw in this lesson. That is why he let Ellip live. As she ceased her futile struggle against Jett’s incredible power, Jett let her get to her feet, stepped back and turned his back on her and the now fly-covered swine.
Ellip dove to her prize of two different battles and hastily ate while Jett watched, then he trotted off slowly with the breeze at his back, his nose knowing all the while that soon he would have a companion. With a barely perceptible limp from her bleeding foreleg, Ellip soon bounded after Jett, enamored with curiosity and something she had not felt before, respect. He called to her, “What is you seek by
following me?” And Ellip replied in a way that greatly amused Jett: “I will let you know if you do something noteworthy.”
Let me interrupt the story to tell you here that what you call love is not as powerful in our pack as is respect. The love you place upon us like primates with hugs and kisses we tolerate, and some of us enjoy more than others, but it is not what drives us to loyalty.
That afternoon as Ellip came closer to Jett, he stopped, turned, and stared at her until she froze in her tracks, lowered her head and neck in a cowering posture not
daring to make eye contact and approached slowly. Then when within only a few feet of Jett, turned and came to him sideways, not face-to-face which is often a sign of aggression. Having only known the way of the lone wolf it is a mystery to us that she submitted to him in both battle and in approach. While Bord first submitted to the great Arn like a puppy, and then learned from the Magnificent
One’s pack the ways of regularly showing submission to the alpha, Ellip had no education of adult submissive behavior. Perhaps she was one of the lone wolves observing the pack from a distance. Our legend does not tell us why but we do
know that her act of submission was lurking within her nonetheless, for without it, Jett would not have allowed her to join him. And live she did.

It gives access to expertise in a short time with limited exposure to what others have been forced to do in trial and error that have often resulted in unfavorable outcomes.
Excerpts: “Multigenerational families invest differently than regular companies, and family-owned firms are no exception. Likewise, several assumptions about business are likely to be incorrect. Successful companies are similar to families who have collected vast fortunes. It is tough to bring them to life on screen, and it is much more challenging to keep them alive after you have given them life. Particularly when taking into consideration the span of many generations.””

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Victim of an always active imagination, I write the books that I myself want to read. I have been involved in emergency services for many years and it has obviously been the doorway to come up with new stories to tell.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I write what I know. I know emergency services, and I know relationships. That being said, the characters created their own identities the more I wrote. The character Jake, was easier to put into the story as he and I have many shared traits. The love interest Anna, she was intriguing for me to try and figure out. I started with the infectous energy of a few people I've known, then wanted to balance that with a stong, sucessful, driven young woman. All the other supporting cast are inspired by real life people in one way or another which each reader can relate to as they identify the same traits other people in their lives.
Book Sample
The airport bar was cold, drafty cold, and also had a very sterile feeling. Not sterile in a clean way, sterile in a clinical, no personality type way. Nashville was a common stopover point when flying and Jake liked the area, but right now, he was feeling pretty uninspired sitting here, sipping on a hefeweizen and watching the other travelers meander this way and that. His return flight had already gotten delayed by the bad weather up north that was affecting flights across the country and he had a feeling it wasn’t going to be letting up, pushing his return trip home that much farther back.
He had just spent the better part of two weeks at the National Fire Academy dealing with incident management and resource allocation. Just the title of the conference alone made him want to order the beer he was now sipping on in the airport lounge as he waited for his flight.
The department had paid for his travel, his airfare, and lodging while in Maryland, but if he got a hotel room now it would be on his own dime until they could reimburse him. He hadn’t considered it until overhearing someone talking on the phone about how the storm was wreaking havoc with all the flights across the country. He had been attentive at the conference, learned a lot, networked a little, but after all the time off and then having to go do that side of the job he really was in need of relaxing, going out, or something, which was strange because going out was not something Jake Foster did. He knew it though, he needed some excitement in his life again. The early season snowstorm in the northwest where he was trying to get back to was seemingly intent on making sure he stayed in this mundane trap that much longer.
Another group of people appeared down the concourse headed his way. After sitting in the airport this long he was able to judge when a plane got in by the traffic flows of people walking around in the airport. Nearly everyone was on their phone, either talking or walking and staring at the screen, all probably trying to figure out how long their next flight would be delayed.
Jake shook his head light-heartedly at the herd and took another sip of his beer. Near the back of the pack, he noticed a smaller figure, a young woman with her head staring down, lost in her phone. She was petite and couldn't have been much more than five foot two but with her head down and her auburn brown hair thrown up on the top of her head it was hard to tell for sure. He wasn’t trying to stare, but as he was people watching, she had caught his eye.
His stool at the high table was at the edge of the bar area, near the walkway and her current path would bring her right close by. In his current mood he almost, almost, felt like saying ‘hi’ as she came by, mostly just to appease that little twinge of excitement he might get from an attractive young woman looking his way and smiling a hello in return, but as she came closer he politely averted his gaze to not be like every other guy that probably hit on women at airport bars. Before he did though she looked up and he was caught off guard. It was her that actually looked at him and held her eyes on him. That was why just as her mouth opened to maybe say hi, she ran into the older couple who had stopped just in front of her.
The couple merely stumbled forward slightly, remaining on their feet, but the girl went crashing down, already apologizing to them as she fell. “Oh! Oh sorry!” she exclaimed as she landed on top of her carry-on bag. Out of natural courtesy and professional habit, Jake jumped up and went to help, even knowing the mild fall probably didn't hurt her. Kneeling next to her, he hesitated, then extended a hand under her arm, gently placing his palm at her elbow to help steady her, and held out his other hand to take with hers, offering her a way back upright.
Instead of standing up to her feet, she instead rose only enough to match how he was kneeling on the hard tile floor. She looked at him in the harsh airport lighting. “Oh, hi,” she squeaked. He was handsome, nearly ruggedly so, but also in a warm, good natured type of way. Not something she was necessarily used to seeing.
“Hi. Uh, I’m Jake.”
He never had been very smooth when trying to talk to girls.
“Hi, um… I’m… mortified,” she announced, but since she said it with a smile, he knew it was ok to laugh along with her at her joke. Despite her words, her eyes never left his, not until the couple in front of her that she had crashed into had stopped to mutter an apology before continuing on their way, and then another lady that had witnessed it came by to check on her. “Are you ok, that looked really bad!”
They both bit back a snicker and she looked to the concerned lady. “I’m fine, thank you,” she said, then looked back to the man who had come to her rescue. Even kneeling there she could tell he was tall, probably over six feet, and strong. His face was clean shaven and passive, not giving away anything other than that he was obviously intelligent, observing, and measured. She hadn’t known many if any, guys like that, but somehow she knew that was the type she was looking at right now. His dark hair was close cropped and was just beginning to show the salt and pepper speckles of either heredity or stress. She couldn’t be sure of which. He was maybe a little older than her but only by a couple of years, which was funny since a magazine article had just hit the stands a few days before quoting her as saying how a little age gap didn't matter to her. It was his eyes though that held her attention. Green flecked, deep, and soulful.
“You alright?” His voice was mellow and steady, with a bit of a smile in it like he knew she was ok, other than probably being embarrassed. His normal day to day demeanor was practiced and poised, but he was having a hard time channeling that calm right now for some reason.
“Yeah, sorry. And um, thank you!” she quickly replied, never one usually at a loss for words, yet now finding them hard to find.

I wrote The Dawn of Speech because it was therapeutic for me. I went through some hard times and writing these poems helped me to get through it. I know that I'm not alone in these experiences of life and so I decided to publish the collection to help others connect to it. We're never alone.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The young man in the poems really was me. I was the young man that went through all of these experiences. I didn't realize until after I'd written them that, in reality, the young man was all of us. We all feel these emotions and go through these experiences.

Take my hand
And I'll take yours
In our grasp is love untold
The rain will fall all around
But all I see is you
My Queen in her crown
We'll dance in the dark
As the rain comes down
Our bodies pressed together
Our lips unbound
Slow dancing in the rain
Passion unrestrained
I've found the one I love
And I will never be the same

Macramé is a very ancient art characterized by a game of threads that, once intertwined and knotted, give life to plots and decorative and ornamental patterns that embellish furniture, clothes and objects.
Knotting is one of the earliest cultural manifestations of mankind, a very important and essential human characteristic in many types of manual work, indispensable to society.
There is deep symbolic content in the conscious act of tying a knot. Most diverse cultures include it as a behavior inherited from the past, in effect and projected into the future.
I invite you to discover this art of craftsmanship and have a creative experience making decorative knots.
In an age of digital connections, macrame also offers you the opportunity to relax, disconnect from the computer world and take care of yourself, it allows you to slow down the hectic pace of your life and let yourself express yourself creatively.
This book is intended to teach you the basic techniques and help you discover the wonderful art of knotting !!

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
‘Zombie Diaries’ is a funny, off-beat story of Mavis Harvey, Girl Zombie. Readers will get to know Mavis a bit, and they will get a strong sense of the personality of this girl who is slowly turning into a flesh-eating monster.
This is not a horror novel in the traditional sense, and I never intended it to be. What I wanted to do with Mavis and her life was, have fun by asking, ‘What would it be like if a normal, everyday girl were to experience this type of change alone, out of the blue? What if she retained her intelligence and logic, realizing something was happening, but not sure what? How would she deal with it?’ I wanted the book to be light, with a tad of humor, and I wanted it to contain a story that was acceptable for reading for an audience of almost any age.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I didn’t intend for Zombie Diaries to be bloody, or scary. What my vision for Mavis consisted of was something laid-back and fun to read, something that takes an already insane idea (zombies) and turns it into a story that takes away the sting of the same old idea. With that in mind, readers of any age will enjoy the story of Mavis, and they will want to stick this crazy experience out with her until the bitter end.

Mavis Harvey reclined lazily on the family sofa, one leg resting on the backrest, a shoe dangling from her toes. Both of her arms were thrown up over her head, and her other foot tapped to the poppy tune pumping out of the television speaker. She loved this show: The Cravens. It was about a family of nerds, with the exception of one daughter, who just happened to be the hippest, most popular girl at her high school. Mavis often daydreamed that her life would be more like that of Carrie Craven on the show.
As it was, Mavis was pretty much your average, everyday teenage high school girl. Almost seventeen, she liked boys, but as of yet, she had failed to gain the attention of the opposite sex at all. She was limited to her daydreams and hopes for the future. Hopes of changing from what she considered to be an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan, and gaining the attention of boys.
It didn’t help that she was pretty down-to-Earth. She wasn’t a ‘Barbie girl,’ as she called them. Her hair wasn’t perfect, and she didn’t pile on the makeup. Mavis Harvey was about as real as one could get. With Mavis, there were no false pretenses or masks. She was just… Mavis.
Her best friend was Kim Coleman. Kim was a pretty girl who carried just a bit too much weight. She was funny and smart, but she did depend on makeup and hair to balance the scales of her love for all things food. Mavis didn’t care how Kim looked. She believed that someday, they both would blossom and surprise every last idiot at Westside High, especially every girl who had pointed and snickered at them when they’d walked by.
Mavis lived in Greenville, a small suburb of Toledo. She had lived there her entire life; in fact, her mother and father had bought their home when Mavis had been only eighteen months old. She was a very content, happy, and well-adjusted teenager, with goals, ambitions, and dreams.
A commercial came on, and Mavis put both of her feet on the floor. She was hungry. It was two o’clock on Saturday afternoon, and they wouldn’t eat until six. Jumping up, she raced to the kitchen and, in a hurry to get back to The Cravens, blindly grabbed a fresh bag of chips and jogged back to the sofa just as the commercial ended.
Carrie Craven was bringing a boy home for the first time ever, but he wasn’t just any boy; no, this one was the captain of the football team. Carrie was embarrassed by her family’s nerdiness, so before he came, she was trying to make them all cool. This Carrie character was one of the ‘Barbie girls’ that were so unlike Mavis and Kim. In this episode, her entire family was running around the house like chickens with their heads cut off, trying to do and be what their daughter wanted them to do and be for this guy she was dating, and Mavis thought it was hilarious. She laughed loudly as she opened her chips automatically grabbing one and popping it into her mouth.
Suddenly, her eyes went wide; the chips were burning hot, seasoned with some kind of pepper. Jumping up, Mavis ran for the kitchen and grabbed the first glass she saw out of the dish drainer. With a quick turn of the knob, she filled the glass with water and proceeded to gulp it down. After a moment, she knew it wouldn’t be enough.
Mavis held the glass out to refill it but immediately stopped. The water coming from the tap was now brown, and a bit snotty-looking. The water in her glass had been clear, and a smack of her lips told her it tasted normal, overall. Maybe a slight dirt taste, but nothing she would have ever noticed if she hadn’t seen the sludge oozing from the tap. She stared into the depths of the glass, but the few drops of water inside appeared to be clear.
“Mom! Dad!” Mavis left the water running and yelled around the corner and down the hallway. “Something is wrong with this water! It’s all gross and stuff!” Her father’s head popped out of their bedroom door. “What? What do you mean, gross?”
Mavis shrugged and rolled her eyes. “I don’t know, Dad. It’s all brown and stuff. Like, dirty, you know?”
Todd Harvey stepped out of the doorway and started up the hall, his wife Jane right on his heels. He was dressed for the day in blue jeans and a polo shirt; his wife was clutching a robe around her body, and a towel was wrapped like a turban on her head.
“I just got out of the shower ten minutes ago, Mavis and the water was fine,” she scolded.
Ten seconds later the three of them stood before the double-panned kitchen sink, staring at the muck which was shooting out of the tap. It was thicker now, and still brown, but there were tinges of green here and there as well.
“See?” Mavis muttered. “I told you so. Gross.”
Todd took a coffee cup from the drainer and caught some of the muddy mess in it. He held it up to his nose, took a brief whiff, and jerked his head back, a sour, disgusted look on his face. Mavis could almost see the wheels turning in his head as he tried to figure out what the heck was going on.
“Well, Todd?” Jane asked. “What is it?”
He shrugged and set the cup aside, then turned off the tap and plucked his cell phone out of his pocket. I have no idea, but nobody drink this water until I get the plumber over here, got it?” He turned to Mavis. “You didn’t drink this, did you?”
She gave him a surprised look. “Dad! That’s disgusting! Actually, I filled a glass, and the water was fine. I drank it and went to fill it again, and the water was like this; it happened just like that.”
Todd looked her over, contemplating. “Did it taste bad?”
“No.”
“Okay,” he continued. “Well, no more. I’m calling Ralph to come to take a look at it. Back to your business, everyone.”
Mavis and her mother exchanged a brief glance before leaving the kitchen and going their separate ways, Mavis back to the television, and Jane to her room to finish dressing. As soon as she plopped down on the couch, however, Mavis realized she had completely missed the rest of The Cravens; she groaned and flopped back in annoyance before grabbing the remote and beginning the search for new entertainment.
After a moment, she found some reruns of Rock and Roll High School, another popular program for teens her age. She put the remote on the coffee table and settled in, her father’s voice echoing slightly from the kitchen as he spoke to Ralph, the plumber. Mavis barely let it register, though. She was feeling a bit as though a nap might be a good idea. What a lazy Saturday.
“Mavis, wake up.”
Her eyes fluttered open to see her mother bending over the back of the sofa, leaning toward her daughter. “What? What do you want? I was sleeping.”
Jane put her palm flat on her daughter’s forehead. “You’re covered in sweat! Are you feeling okay?”
Suddenly, Mavis was very aware of the sweat; she was covered in it, her shirt even soaked clear through. She struggled to sit up. “Yeah, I am all sweaty,” she muttered as she plucked the material of her top away from her skin. “Must be super-hot in here, Mom. Turn the heat down.”
Jane turned to the thermostat on the wall. “The heat isn’t on, Mavis. You need to go take some medicine and put yourself to bed.”
Suddenly, the girl was wide awake. “Bed? I thought we were going to eat out. Prime rib? I know what’s going on.” She reached up and poked her mother playfully. “You want my share. I see how it is.”
Taking her daughter by the arm to help her up, Jane shook her head. “Stop being silly.” Jane felt her head and knit her brow. “You don’t seem to have a fever. You’re sure you’re feeling all right? I sure hope that water didn’t throw your system off somehow.”
She began to steer the girl down the hall to her room, and even though Mavis felt fine, she didn’t fight it. If she was honest, she did feel a little bit woozy, even though her appetite was in full raging force.
“No, we aren’t going for prime rib,” Jane replied, opening Mavis’ bedroom door and pulling back her blankets. She put her daughter in the bed and pulled the blankets up under her chin, then flipped on the small flat-screen hanging on Mavis’ wall. “We have to wait for Ralph to come about the water. We’ll eat here. Are you really hungry? Because, to be honest, you look like death warmed over.”
Mavis let her mother tuck her in. “I’m starving! Promise to wake me up when it’s time to eat, please Mom?”
Jane gave her daughter a kiss on the forehead and smoothed her hair back. “You don’t seem to have a fever. Just rest up, and as soon as it’s time for supper I’ll come get you, okay?”
With a loving look, Mavis smiled and closed her eyes. Her mother was right, perhaps; she did feel tired, and even a bit dizzy. It was much cooler in her room, even with the blankets on, which made it easy to get comfortable, and before long she was snoring lightly and beginning a new dream.
She dreamed about being the most popular girl in school, like Carrie Craven on TV. She was going to bring home a boy, and she didn’t want her dork family to embarrass her. While the story played out behind her closed eyes, Mavis smiled.

Every stupid thing anyone has ever done has been done for power, or love … or love of power. The Gods are no exception.
Athena has been told by the Fates that humanity is on the brink of extinction. Unbelieving in magic or gods, the insidious fear within the humans will drive them to their demise.
Only a priestess sent by the Gods can save them.
Prometheus, creator of the humans and bearer of foresight, is adamant that sending the priestess to Earth will cause more harm than good. He has no intention of aiding the goddesses’ plan; Fates be damned. He also has no intention of falling in love.
When he steals white fire, a symbol of the Gods’ knowledge, and gives it to the priestess … the Fates align. Humanity will never be the same again. A new era will begin.
But at what cost to those involved?

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Prometheus walked into my head during a meditation in August 2020. From there it was impossible to ignore him, or the story he wanted to tell about the humans. Because, of course, there's always another twist on a myth that we haven't considered. And the only thing men really change for is love. Why would we not consider the gods the same?
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
As I said, Prometheus walked into my head fully formed. As did all the Greek Gods, Goddesses and the Fates. It was more like having conversations with different entities outside of myself when writing them.
Amara (our female protagonist) shared many experiences with me, but in the end became her own woman.
Book Sample
The tapestry of humanity lay threadbare, metres and metres of it stretched out, until it lay unfinished, on the wooden hallway floor. One of the threads had caught on a nail, not quite embedded in the floor, and torn slightly, creating a little pocket in the tapestry. It would become a vacuum where nothing would exist for that part of humanity.
Apparently, the humans called it a ‘black hole’.
Earlier in the work, much earlier, the tapestry had been full of life and colour. Emerald greens of the earth and lapis lazuli blues of the oceans were interwoven with autumnal reds, cherry-blossom pinks, and every colour in between.
Recently though, the strings the Fates had been called to spin on the loom had been beige, dull greys, and obsidian blacks.
Humanity was dying.
The ends of the tapestry lay on the foor limply while the three sisters the Greek world knew as the Moirai, the Fates, stared at the ends of the threads, wishing them to spring to life of their own accord and knit together a new picture.
Alas, the threads weren’t magical. It was the work of the three sisters that made the tapestry what it was, and while they could sometimes be swayed to tell a story a particular way, sometimes the threads spoke of their own free will.
Clotho hunched over, her black cloak and hood giving her the impression of Death rather than the life she was responsible for selecting. For it was her who chose the threads, her who decided who lived. She did, however, get the choice to not pick up the threads again, effectively ending life as easily as she gave it. It was a point of contention amongst the sisters.
She sighed. It wasn’t that she wanted humanity to die; it was simply the fact that something else was being called to be birthed forward. Fear.
“I have no desire to pick up another one of these wretched threads.” She stared at the beige silks and obsidian blacks beside her in disgust. She may as well have been sitting next to a pile of hay and chewing on cud, so bland and distasteful was her job at the moment.
“Well, you must.” Lachesis, her elder sister snapped as she measured out the latest thread with her rod and began to weave it into the tapestry. Unlike Clotho, she was dressed in a sheath of white as pure as the destiny she represented.
“The story is not finished and I cannot tease the tapestry out anymore until you pick up the next thread,” she continued in that pragmatic way of hers that spoke of her position as the middle child. Not that the sisters had been children for eons. Now they were old women, if you could even call them that, hunched over a loom that creaked with unfathomable age.
Unspoken remained the words that the tapestry would remain forever dormant, lying on the floor like an abandoned sweater.
“Atropos, what say you?” Lachesis asked.
The eldest, and smallest, of the three sisters scowled, deep grooves marring a long-ago smooth forehead.
“It doesn’t end nicely. How am I supposed to end something so … unfinished?! No, you must continue Clotho.”
The youngest of the three, and perhaps that was why she was in charge of the youthfulness of birth, huffed. Really, she thought, Atropos had no right to tell her what to do after all these years. Just because she had always chosen the manner of death and cut the threads didn’t mean she got to be in charge of everything. But the eldest among them was stubborn to a fault and bossy with it. There was no changing her mind, Clotho grumbled, even as she admitted that her sisters were right.
While the beigeness of life had begun to bleed into most of the tapestry, the grey steel of the industrial and technological age of humanity apparent, the black obsidian had not yet taken over. Oh, at first it had just been wisps of black. That jagged edge of fear that was necessary for human survival.
It gave the tapestry definitive structure as the scenes from history played out in real time.
Now … now it looked like a thick oil stain had been smeared across the Fates’ work until it trickled through life, through the remaining threads and onto the wooden floorboards. But the tapestry wasn’t yet completely pitch black. Fear hadn’t yet cloyed and choked the living breath out of humanity completely.
The occasional thread of gold had still managed to sneak its way into the tapestry. There was hope yet.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
After becoming a born-again Christian as an adult, I realized that what I had learned about the relationship between God and his saints in her youth was different from what was recorded in The Holy Bible. This led me to engage in in-depth studies of the Godhead and the kingdom of God where I discovered that the true relationship that God desires to have with his saints is more intimate than what religious traditions have taught. This revelation led to the birth of Children of the Godhead.
Book Sample
King David asked the question: “What is man, that thou are mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him” (Ps. 8:4)? Mankind is still seeking answers to this age-old question. With the use of scriptural reference, Children of the Godhead answers this age-old question by providing some amazing facts about God and his relationship with the saints of God.
God chose the people of Israel to be his special people and separated them from the other nations of the world. However, the children of Israel rebelled against God by disobeying his commandments and rejecting the words of his prophets. The primary message of the Holy Bible from the book of Genesis to the book of Revelation is God’s desire to be reconciled to his people. To save his precious people from destruction God devised a plan of salvation that would reconcile his people to him. Through his son, Jesus Christ, God would extend himself to mankind.
The mission of Jesus Christ was three-fold. Jesus was to sacrifice his life for the sins of mankind; be the means through which God sends the Holy Ghost to mankind, and establish the Kingdom of God on earth. As Jesus takes his last breath on the cross, he said, "It is finished." After three days, Jesus was resurrected having all power in heaven and in the earth. Jesus Christ was the first extension of the Godhead in the earth.
Jesus Christ returns to God after his resurrection and God combined his spirit with the ghost of Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost was born. The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of God and the ghost of Jesus Christ. However, the Holy Ghost does not operate of itself. It is a gift to mankind that only operates through mankind. The Holy Ghost is the second extension of the Godhead in the earth.
To receive the Holy Ghost, mankind must complete God’s plan of salvation which requires repentance of sins; baptism in water for the remission of sins; and receiving the indwelling spirit of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost operates through the saints of God empowering them to fulfill God's will and purpose on the earth.
Children of the Godhead describes the true relationship that God desires to have with his saints. This book takes a unique look and the Godhead and the kingdom of God as described in the words of scripture and reveals that God desires to have a more intimate relationship with his saints than what is taught through religious traditions. This book reveals that the answer to mankind's continual quest for spiritual identity is found in their relationship to God.

I love storytelling and wanted to write a story about my favorite question: "How far would you go to protect your loved ones?" Also, I've always been intrigued my morally questionable main characters, fast-paced action, and introspection of every person's double life.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I based most characters on various people in my life, whether they are friends or family. That being said, the "bad" characters took a little more creativity and were a combination of various villains about which I've read or seen in movies.
Book Sample
There have been so many horror movies with the same plot: A family has a demon in their house, so they move to a new house, hoping that they left the demon behind. They spend a couple of nights in the new house, only to realize that their child is the demon. Sometimes, people fail to see something that is right in front of them. In my case, I thought that getting out of Buchanan would allow me to start a new life and escape my demons. But after seeing everything that was hidden in the black of the M/C night, I saw what was obvious: I am the demon.

For 17-year-old Saphy, an orphan hailing from the chaotic city of Crisium, there is no choice. The 2249 graduation is imminent and the draft is mandatory for all Lunariians. If Saphy isn’t recruited by one of the seven Guild corporations, she’ll be shipped to the deadly solar mines.
The Fortuna corporation dominates on the dark side. For 134 years, they’ve guarded the spatial rifts between Terran and Lunarii, ever since the Reckoning that decimated their planet, and the exile that saw technology outlawed. Fortuna do not recruit outsiders. Until now.
Enter Kepler, a cynical Legionnaire General’s son from the unyielding city of Humboldt; Cleo, a socially awkward engineer from the innovating Imbrium City; and Riff, a neurotic medic from the drug-addled city of Serenity. Forced to leave everything they know behind, Saphy and her new squad must survive the perilous Fortunan training regime, and fight for a future they could never have foreseen.
Yet, someone is determined to stop them succeeding at any cost.
Change is dawning in Lunarii and long buried secrets begin to surface. The new recruits don’t know who to trust, least of all in each other. When a switch in Fortunan leadership threatens to derail their progress, together they uncover a conspiracy with the potential to destabilise the entire Guild.
The Reckoning saw their ancestors exiled from Terran. This squad isn’t expecting a red carpet on their return.

I blinked owlishly when the glows in the hall flickered on with a high-pitched whine, bulbs blazing too bright and hot, before settling down. Dust motes floated above two heads in the first row. They were dressed in a uniform, slick black neoprene suits that were instantly identifiable even though I’d never seen them in person before.
“Are those…Fortunans?” Pascal breathed with wonder.
“Sure looks like it,” I said. “How…curious.”
“But they’re exempt from the draft.”
Of all the corporations that formed the Guild, I knew the least about Fortuna. Calling them elusive wasn’t just an understatement, it was a jest. They guarded the rifts and controlled all passage – which was fine by me considering it was rumoured to be perilous. They kept themselves isolated on the dark side, allowing no visitors, joining no gravkey leagues.
Given the Terran artefacts that flooded Umbra Market, I suspected they did far more than protect us from hostilities. What they didn’t do was draft outsiders. Ever.
The horde of students stirred behind me; noise levels rising to an irritating buzz punctuated by the odd crack of thunder. I shifted on my feet, shoes pinching my toes.
“It’s time, kids,” Lineman yelled.
Nervous energy sparked the air as the graduates streamed by. Coach gestured for us to follow and split off down the opposite aisle, every other step clunking and wheezing. “You’re to sit front and centre where I can see you.”
“This is discrimination,” I protested, eyeing the only other occupants of the row. It was reserved for guests, for students’ families. It was predictably empty.
“Just do as I say and zip it, Stebbins.”
We straggled behind him. Outside the window, lightning thrashed in an echo of my thoughts.
The air tasted metallic and sour on my tongue.
Pascal slouched into the seat on the end of the front row. I took the one beside him, leaning against his shoulder to increase the distance between me and the officials. The geocologist in me couldn’t help searching for differences, for similarities. One was as pale as stardust, likely Scandinavian origins. The other a beautiful bronze, I guessed at Hispanic.
“They’ve got to have drafted someone.” I tucked my chin into Pascal’s shoulder to avoid being overheard.
“Maybe they’re here as sponsors?”
“Doubtful.” I looked over my shoulder at the agog Seniors. Chatter rose through the crowd, scraps reaching us. “But why open themselves up to outsiders now?”
“I bet it’s Skandia Welkes,” Pascal whispered. “She scored highest in tactical last year, and she’s a bruiser.”
“Zip it,” I protested. “It’s got to be Benji Elpher. He got the highest intelligence score across the board.”
“I heard Dendra Yardley saved three children from drowning in a vat of chem waste. It must be her,” he said.
I scoffed. “It was one child and a tub of freeze-dried cream.”

This novel, and its characters have been a part of my life for many years. As a young man, in my early twenties, I began drafting some character descriptions, but I put them away for many years (two decades). At the start of the pandemic, I pulled these ideas out of the "closet" and began writing. The early days of COVID set the tone for me, to begin drafting this story.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
My characters have been loosely developed over the course of twenty years. It was the start of the pandemic that helped me "carve" out the true nature of each of my protagonists. The characters started to take on roles that I never expected, and I was very pleased with that!

Clayton and Azra stood shaken in the farmhouse’s kitchen, after Mr. and Mrs. Donovan finished their discussion about Ellen and their work to help her to salvation. They headed toward the church to greet the congregation before the service began. Azra was thinking about how she was going to continue to get to know Ellen.
She decided she would slow her work with Clayton and spend more time working with Ellen on her morning chores and her scripture recitations. Azra came with Clayton to Colorado to fulfill one purpose and now was the time to begin the transition to fulfill her key priority. She just needed to find a way to bring this up to him.
Clayton, Azra, and Ellen walked together to the barn for the service where everyone would meet the new visitors. Clayton was wearing a plain, dark-blue suit, Azra was in her cherry red dress, and Ellen donned the kelly green dress that was attractive but marred with the memories of her first experience in this renovated church. Since Ellen’s rite of sacrifice on the altar, she feared walking into the barn at all, even when there was no one else in the building, but she had no allowance for fear in this situation. Mother and Father saw fear as the most selfish form of weakness in children, and her daily punishments, and the service rituals, were all attempts to remove her fear.

When you’re trying to boost your mood it can be very helpful to have happy people around you. Find your very own personal cheerleaders and have them help you make it through the tough times and bring up your happiness. Of course we also talk about the flip side ñ negative people who tend to bring you down and how to deal with them.
Moods are contagious. If you’re around a bunch of sad and depressed people, you’ll start to feel down. If on the other hand you are in a group of happy people, you can’t help but start to smile. It makes sense then to surround yourself with happy people if you want your own level of happiness to increase.
Does this mean that you should shut all people who aren’t super happy out of your life? Of course not. We all have important people in our lives whom we love and cherish, even if they don’t have the sunniest outlook on life. Plus we all have happier, and sadder seasons in our lives. It would be horrible if we avoided loved ones during though times.
Instead, what I suggest is that you take note of who the happy people in your life are. Who are your cheerleaders that will cheer you on no matter what, and who will put a smile on your face anytime you spend time with them? Take note of those positive people, be their friends, family, or even just acquaintances. Build a support system of happy people that you can turn to when you’re feeling down.
Along the same lines, you want to be careful about the negative and sad people around you and how they affect your own mood. When you’re having a hard time and are struggling with your own happiness levels, it may be better to avoid people that you know will bring you further down. Those are the times when you want to spend time with your team of cheerleaders, or your happiness support system. Again, this doesn’t mean that you need to completely shut people out of your life, just take note of their energy and how they affect you and spend time with them accordingly.
When you are happy, don’t be afraid to share that happiness and spread it around. Smiling, laughing, and feeling good about life is contagious. Spread the joy and soak it up from happy people around you when you’re not feeling your personal best. Call up that friend that can instantly make you feel better, and talk to people around you who love and care for you about this idea of contagious happiness. Let them know when you could use some cheering up and then return the favor. Because, let’s face it, we all have times when we’re happier and in a much better mood than other days. Make it a habit to build each other up and create that happiness support system. It will make a huge difference in your life and those around you.

And flirtatious winks from my patients.
It’s all a distraction because I’ve got my sights set one beauty.
Amelia’s luscious curves are all I can think about. I want to make her mine.
It’s a good thing I’ve mastered the female anatomy…
Cause it’d be a sin not to worship every inch of her.
But Amelia is clever – she’d never go for the “playboy” she works for.
Get ready Cupid…
This Valentine’s day, I’m on a mission to kiss away all of Amelia’s wounds.
And prove that my touch is just what the doctor ordered.

About the Book
My earthly father was abusive, manipulative, narcissistic, angry, mentally ill, and sometimes violent. Because of the way he treated me, I’ve had trials with fear, depression, post-traumatic stress, and even demonic oppression.
But God is good. As my Heavenly Father, God protected me and took extraordinary steps to reveal Himself to me, teaching me that He is nothing like my earthly father. Through Jesus Christ I have been healed and sustained. God has called me to share my story with the world, to glorify the One who saved and redeemed me, and to reach those of you with traumatic backgrounds who struggle to understand your identity and the love God has for you. Jesus came to bring us abundant life, and I am living, breathing proof of His love and healing power.

Gritty crime fiction from Wales
The best in crime and suspense you’ll read all year…
“Teenager” and “Brecon” might evoke fond memories of summer backpacking in the Welsh hills. Probably not the image of an adolescent girl’s body under a bridge in the middle of a winter night.
Found by the River Usk the next morning, nobody local knows who the victim is. DI Ben James and DS Erica Bevan find nothing nationwide either. So young, how could anyone not have reported her missing?
As soon as drugs enter the picture, it would be easy for the police to conclude she was just another tearaway who has taken the wrong path into drugs and crime.
But when ex-detective Heidi Holtz sees first hand and close to home how determined and ruthless dealers will use youngsters for their county lines operations, the case gets personal.

Having gone through a divorce myself I wanted to share my knowledge and experiences of what I went through, and help other women who feel they have lost their way. Knowing yourself is a major part of learning to love yourself and is a journey of change which can be daunting. My book will help guide you on your way and making the most of the here and now.
Book Sample
Breakups and separations are tough on the mind. In the heat of a breakup, your heart shatters, and your mind is racing, regardless of whose fault it is. People trying to be kind will tell you to keep busy and spend time with people you love, but that doesn’t help, does it? Even while you are busy, your mind buzzes with all of the past’s excruciating details, and you’re unable to think of much else.
Here’s what you need to do: stop. Take a breath and empty your mind. Make space for positive thoughts and new inspiration. The only way to foster wellbeing is to relax, release built-up tension and stress, and get to a place of balance. You can do this by starting with de-cluttering your mind.
Before we get into how you can do this, let’s first think about what causes a busy mind, riddled with anxiety and overthinking, especially when dealing with a broken heart.
Often, the underlying reasons are that:
• You doubt yourself (the decision to break up).
• You worry about being judged.
• You wonder if you could have done things differently.
• You question what is wrong with you.
Worrying and obsessing serves no useful purpose. It doesn’t help you. Ask yourself if this worrying or obsessing is going to change anything? Will the answers make a difference? The only way to ever know if you have done the right or wrong thing is to love yourself first, give yourself time, and allow yourself to live in the present moment. When you come out on the other side, you will have greater clarity, and the answers you have been searching for will be obvious. Until then, it’s time to put the worrying thoughts and questions out of your mind.

About Mike C Erickson
About the Author
Mike C. Erickson grew up in the idyllic college town of Logan, Utah, but because of a twist of fate he graduated from high school in Honolulu. He left Hawaii brimming with aloha and enrolled at Utah State, where he was awarded two degrees and self-proclaimed minor intellectual status, which was of dubious value when the US Army invited him to vacation in South-East Asia. Ten days after leaving Vietnam, he began decades of dispensing pearls of wisdom as a high school history teacher, academic decathlon coach, and on occasion, as a community college instructor in the Sacramento area. Mike and his wife Trudy, have two grown sons and a grandson born soon after this novel is published. When not in Hawaii or another exotic locale, they live in Gold River, California. This is his first novel.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?

There’s a reason why a negative word hurts so much more than a positive one. Our brain is biased towards negativity. Realizing what’s going on and what’s causing it will make it easier to learn to deal with criticism, negativity and even trolls.
Have you noticed that negative comments and events stick with us much longer, and influence us more than positive ones? I’m sure you’ve experienced this quite a few times. A positive comment by your teacher for example is appreciated, but the effects wear off quickly. A negative comment on the other hand sticks with you much longer. Why is that? It’s because our brains have a bias to negativity. It’s measurable and there have been brain scan studies done that show that our brain reacts more strongly to negative stimuli. The big question then is how do we fight against our brain’s bias to negativity?
What can we do to make sure negative remarks and criticism don’t get us down? The first step is that we realize that there is such a thing. This allows us to take each piece of negativity with a grain of salt. It can be incredibly helpful to acknowledge that our mind and heart may be overreacting about something negative. On the flip side, this knowledge also allows us to make it a point to savor the positivity. Don’t dismiss a compliment out of hand. Instead, savor it, think about it, and make it a point to remember it, and allow it to lift you up when negativity brings you down.
Of course all of this is easier said than done. Since this bias to negativity is hard wired in our brains, it takes a lot of time and effort to build new, more positive habits. Remind yourself each morning that your mind is trying to force you to focus on the negative stuff and that it takes a conscious effort to balance it out by being mindful of all the good and happy things in our lives.
Over time this will allow us to grow a thicker skin when it comes to unwarranted criticism. Should you ignore every single comment or suggestion that you don’t like? Of course not. There is such a thing as constructive criticism that helps us to grow and get better at what we do. What we need to guard against are the negative words, events, and feelings that make us go hide in a cave. We don’t want to encourage inaction in ourselves. Instead, we want to use the positivity around us to lift us up and help us make it through the tough times, get stronger, and get better at what we do.
Reflecting on both the good and the bad on a daily basis can be a great exercise to help us gain a little distance and see everything that’s happening to us in a better light. Keep a journal or set aside some time for quiet contemplation. Talking things out with a friend, particularly when you’re struggling with something negative that you’ve having a hard time getting past is another great idea. Above all, do what you can to outweigh the negativity with the good stuff. Keep a box or file with some of the best positive emails and comments you’ve gotten. Peruse through them whenever you need to counteract something negative. As time goes by you’ll grow that thicker skin that will protect you from your harshest critics.

In 1968, why did a gently raised southern girl quit collage, run away to sea, and join a scurvy crew of pirates, searching for sunken treasure and running contraband? Why did she allow the first mate to tie her in the crow’s-nest during a fierce tropical storm? Why did she flee the Bahamas in the cover of night, fall through a beaver dam during a Rocky Mountain blizzard, and hide out in a Colorado wilderness cave with her good dog, Rocky Raccoon.
Wren Godfrey told herself it was to escape the tragedy of the war in Vietnam and her failed engagement to the love of her young life. But then again, maybe it was to assuage her rebellious case of wanderlust.
With a strong female voice and sense of place in the Carolinas, Florida, Colorado, and the Bahamas, Pirate Girl describes a lifelong process of discovery through the adventurous lessons of Earth School.

Have you wondered how it’d be like to dump the rat race to sail around the world?
Here’s how that worked out for the author, a gripping, constantly on-the-edge-of-disaster sailing adventure punctuated by the unique and wacky characters from the worldwide cruising community, all with the same wild and crazy dream.
“My 35-foot Erickson sloop Grendel was sinking in the Pacific Ocean. I’d bragged about sailing around the world, but two hours after I began, it was a disaster. I was slip-sliding around Grendel, searching for leaks, enveloped in an eerie blanket of fog with zero visibility, surrounded by invisible hazards. Glub, glub.”
So, it didn’t go exactly as planned, a reality like nothing you could envision, a comedy of errors on land and at sea. An absurdly true story and prequel to RV the World.

Book Sample
My thirty-five-foot Erickson sailboat was sinking in the Pacific Ocean. I’d bragged about sailing around the world but two hours after leaving Todos Santos Sur, an island a few miles off Ensenada, Mexico, I was slip-sliding around searching for the source of a colossal leak, enveloped in an eerie blanket of fog with zero visibility and surrounded by invisible hazards. Glub, glub. The floorboards were floating as I ran below, stubbing fingers, frantically yanking open cupboard doors, looking for ruptured water lines. If my longtime girlfriend Mary had come along as planned, I wouldn’t be in this predicament. Solo sailing seriously sucked.
I feverishly searched the lockers on the starboard side, flipping red levers to close through-valves, unable to find the leak that threatened to destroy years of planning and everything I owned. A life jacket bobbed in the galley as I yanked open another locker. No leak there either.
Whirling dervishes had nothing on me. I was all over the boat, pulling everything out of lockers, checking nine through-hulls. I found no leaks, but the second I stopped holding down the manual switch for the bilge pump, the bilge began refilling. I couldn’t tell where the water was coming from. I must have been insane, sailing a small vessel single-handedly on the largest ocean in the world.

A fresh new introduction to the beloved ‘Industrial Age’ series.
In a remote country village on planet Turaset, seventeen-year-old Celeste yearns for excitement. When the bright lights of a distant city beckon, she makes her way there, and city folk show Celeste more of the world than she ever imagined.
But these people have their reasons to cozy up to a country teenager, because Celeste’s family carries an ancient genetic ability to track carbon emissions by sight. This trait is powerful enough to undercut Turaset’s oil industry, and the titan running that industry wants Celeste’s family killed. Soon, she realizes how out of her depth she is.
At 40,000 words, Seven Strengths is an otherworldly but familiar coming-of-age story. It highlights the enduring strength borne of family and friends.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Several side characters in my longer novels insisted they had stories to tell. I've slowly been working those stories out, and this one in particular is a great way for readers to discover a new series and a new author. I wanted to listen to Celeste as she justified her perspective on the challenges she faces later in the series (as a side character). Following her as she learns the bias against people in her family revealed the depth and dimensionality to her character.
Other similar projects with other characters are underway.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The characters in these stories (The Industrial Age series and related content) are part metaphor, part 'bits of myself,' and part archetype. It's the relationships between them that intrigue me most. When the character who serves as a metaphor for science, and who is my introverted self, first interacts with a character who reflects my mother-self, for example, what is revealed?
I continue to develop characters, drawing from archetypes and listening to inclinations within myself that have yet to be given voice.

Celeste saved the bleeding for last.
Her parents said do it first, but the smell was so cloying, and it came strongest when the animal drained. Something to do with nerve fluids mixing with the sulfur-rich blood—a protective response to repel predators. It certainly repelled her.
She debated where to start in on the half-grown, five-foot tharel splayed out on the table before her. Three milky blue eyes, four stick-thin limbs, although one of those was only a partial bud. This tharel had lost a foreleg, which explained how the hunters had managed to nab it. If the creature had had another day or two, the limb would’ve regrown.
Burrs littered the lavender fur down to the soft silver undercoat, and while the fleas hopped less thickly now, that was the only improvement in the animal’s condition. Celeste thought, not for the first time, that her sister was old enough to dress kills, but somehow the job kept falling to her.
“No one should do this,” she murmured, brushing the longer fur that ran along the tharel’s spine. A barely audible tinkling sounded from the hair shafts, and stilling her hand, Celeste said, “You deserved to live.”

I am an entertainment agent by day and one of my puppeteers had been interviewed about the rights and wrongs of his show Punch and Judy. The puppeteer was there to defend his shows but the presenters had their own agenda and were intent on saying the his shows promulgated domestic violence which he denied as the topic covered only 45 seconds of his show. I got to wondering who actually came up with the stories depicted by the puppet show and why? Surely it wasn't just some Italian marionette performer in Covent Garden who one day decided to tell the tale? It had to have started off somewhere? And how would they feel that their story was being twisted in this way? It was then that Joan, or Dame Joan to be precise, came to life. Joan was the original name for Judy so the history goes.
The puppeteer being interviewed was put on the spot and in the end he said he didn't understand why the fuss 'they're only blocks of wood!' he said.
'Only blocks of wood… only blocks of wood!' In my head, I could hear Joan getting more and more annoyed… She wasn't just a block of wood. Her story DID matter! She wasn't advocating violence; she was totally AGAINST violence! She wanted everyone to speak out when the saw wrong-doings! Call 'JUDY' she tells the children, if they see Mr Punch doing anything to hurt The Baby. Call Mr Plod she tells them. She is TOTALLY AGAINST any sort of naughtiness!
It was time that Judy aka JOAN, told her story. It was time she spoke out… It was time heard the truth!
And so 'Joan – Put on a Happy Face' came to life; in the imaginings of Carol M Mottershead.
This fictional biography of Dame Joan, known to many as Judy, the wife of Mr Punch, historically depicts the life of an immortal family – Joan, Pulcinella and Baby Nicholas; the grand daughter of the famous Nicholas and Perenelle Flamel in the first of this trilogy; I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed researching and writing it!
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Coming up with the characters wasn't too difficult as the basic ones were in all Punch and Judy shows as stock characters. The thought about how they fit in with the life of a real person was the challenge. I saw Joan (Judy) as the initiator of the puppet shows. Much the same way as any young mother would make up stories for her children today, Joan amused her baby Nicholas by telling him stories about their own family, then introducing other friends and family as her child grew up. When she suffered post-natal depression she could help herself release some of her emotion through play for example when her husband did silly things instead of hitting him like she did the first time, she could make fun of it and lessen her sense of guilt over using violence and so the story takes her through their lives, their love, their joys, their jealousy and even the murder of their best friend and the ensuing nightmares… The story touches on mental health issues experienced throughout their four to five centuries of living and Joan survives! With help from her friends… The characters depict real emotions that many readers will be able to relate to. A funny yet emotional family saga the story has been called by some readers.

The one thing that attracted me to Pulcinella was the way he could always make me smile. Even when trying to be serious. After wiping away a tear, he took both my hands in his, as he had done many times before, and vowed to conquer any trial my Father gave him. Climb the highest mountain. Swim the widest ocean – or die trying. I was worth it he said – although it was hard not to laugh, when he added in all sincerity, that he really hoped it wouldn’t come to that because he wasn’t sure he could even swim!
As he then bowed his head to kiss both my hands as usual, I glanced over at Governess – she was looking out across the gardens, I leaned forward and gently kissed him on his head! Blushing with embarrassment and excited at his touch, he looked up at me, and smiled. He had such a wonderful, cheeky smile that I could always see in my minds’ eye whenever I thought of him.

She can’t grow up. Literally.
In the kingdom of Elpax, juveniles must walk through the mysterious Crossing Gate to become adults—and seventeen-year-old Lenora is determined that her third attempt at crossing to adulthood will be successful. Even though adulthood means facing horrible realities, such as sin-spots appearing on her body whenever she commits a sin, it also means being able to have a job. And Lenora needs to work to support her struggling family.
But Lenora’s Crossing Day goes horribly wrong.
Accused of trying to start a revolution, Lenora must obey the kingdom’s laws to the letter if she wants to take suspicion off herself. But following the rules isn’t as easy as it sounds. Especially when she meets a mysterious and handsome stranger who makes her feel emotions she’s never experienced before—even though juveniles in Elpax aren’t supposed to be capable of falling in love.
With the long arm of the law looming over her and her family, Lenora must walk a tightrope between following the rules and investigating why she’s unable to cross. Not to mention discovering where her new adult emotions are coming from. But as Lenora uncovers more of Elpax’s terrible secrets, she realizes that fighting the system might be the only way to save her family, her country, and her first love.
The first in an epic series perfect for fans of Victoria Aveyard’s Red Queen and Lauren Oliver’s Delirium, The Crossing Gate combines the tropes of classic YA dystopia with a Greek-inspired setting and fantasy elements that will whisk readers away on a journey like no other.

The idea came from my own experience in growing up. I remember that I went shopping with my friend, and I stopped in front of a storefront that was filled with girly cushions. I told my friend they were so pretty and I even took a picture for them. Her reply was casual but unexpectedly annoyed me! She said, “Yea, they are so pretty, but they are for kids and not for you.” Her words hit me so deeply, thinking what was wrong in liking cushions that were made for teens- and not a typical taste of a thirty-two-years grown-up mom?
All the way back home, I kept thinking about her words. I often like/think and dress like a much younger person and not the way my society is expecting from me at my age. But I won’t be myself if I just did what others were expecting from me. Sometimes when I hear harsh comments regarding my clothes or a certain behavior, I feel sad and helpless. I wished if there was a machine that will force me to “grow up” to the accepted standers. Yet again, what if this machine stopped working in the middle of the process?
I slept, and I dreamed about Lenora standing in front of the Crossing Gate. I wrote the scene when I woke up, and from there, the story slowly was built to become a complicated and tangled book!

I texted Mary the street's name and looked at the shops, trying to guess what they contained. A pink storefront with a lace ribbon seemed to be for women. Then the blue must be for men. The sign showing a bottle with a glass indicated a shop that sold the "adult drink"—the one my father used to buy and become dazed after drinking.
I hadn't yet figured out some symbols, such as harem pants, an apple with a chiffon tie around it, a pink arrow, and a rainbow flag. What did they symbolize? What would happen if I looked inside one of those shops? Perhaps getting a peek at adult life would help me fight the dizziness during my next crossing, to show my stupid brain that crossing wasn't so scary after all.
I walked to the store with a pink apple on it. All I needed was a peek—just one. As I approached, I noticed the flashing writing on the door. "Curiosity is a sin." I rolled my eyes and put my ear to the door. There was the sound of music and men's voices. They were yelling numbers as if they were fighting to buy something. I could hear one woman laughing, and another moaning.
What the hell was going on in there?
"Juvenile!" yelled a man's voice from inside, and I jumped a step backward. "Go away before I call the Corps."
For sure, my crossing dress told him who I was with no further investigation required. I sighed. I wished Mary could answer my queries about these shops. If only the pesky word-catchers would allow her to.
What if we had a code that she could use to tell me? Why had I never thought about that before? A code was an excellent idea. How would the government ever find out?
Oh, right, the sin-spots investigation would tell them.
I turned around, searching for Mary, and soon her car pulled up beside me. We both looked at each other and burst out laughing.
"Mary!" I exclaimed as I sat in her car, my eyes scanning her dripping hair that soaked her green shirt. "How did you get so wet?"
"How do you think? Running after you, trying to make my voice heard in the thunder and lightning," she quipped.
"I'm sorry for ignoring you, Mary. It felt like everyone's sarcastic words were following me." I touched her hand in apology.
She squeezed my fingers. "Don't worry about it. In fact, I owe you an apology. You weren't ready, and I pushed you to cross." She started the engine. "Now, are you ready for the big day tomorrow?"
"What day?"
"My wedding, silly! Have you forgotten already?"
"Of course not." My heart sank in shame. I hadn't even remembered Mary's wedding with all my worries about my crossing. My hand reached my eyes, rubbing them. "I still don't know what drives a sensible person to marry. You don't need his money!"
"Leen, we cannot limit the purpose of marriage to money, and I can't talk more about it." She smiled. "All I can say is he's a kind man."
"I'm happy for you, my friend. But for me? I will never cross for that reason."
Mary was about to take off, but the Law Corps' armored cars showed up out of nowhere, blocking our way. I gulped. Did the man from inside the adult shop call them already?
Apparently, I wasn't the target. The cars stopped across the street, followed by a ground mobility vehicle, its weapon pointed at a group of women. Soldiers rushed out of the car. They held riot shields and long metal bars.
"Selene Dukasi. You are under arrest."
Her picture showed on some of the tower's billboard screens. The rest of the women stepped aside at once, leaving their friend shaking with fear. She ran as fast as possible, but the soldiers followed and knocked her down.
"I did nothing, I said I did nothing!" she yelled, resisting the soldiers, who started beating her up with their bars. My eyes widened with horror—yet, people in the street ignored what was happening and continued walking on. I stepped out of the car right away.
"What are you doing?" Mary shouted from inside. "Get in the car!"
But I did the exact opposite. My feet bolted across the street toward the woman, who curled up on the ground, bleeding. The soldiers were beating her while other female soldiers surrounded them, forming a human barrier, preventing anyone from coming closer.
"Juvenile, do not interfere!" a blonde soldier cried out. Her solemn face burned with anger, and all the female soldiers raised their bars at once to stop me.
"They're killing her!" I said, my feet pacing continuously as I tried to reach the woman on the floor. "Stop it . . . please . . . stop it!"
"Juvenile, this is your last warning!" she yelled, and all the soldiers hit the ground hard with their heavy boots, ready to beat me up too. Although their orders didn't allow them to touch juveniles, their solemn faces showed the determination to do so. I fought my eagerness to kick them, but this was a fight I couldn't possibly win; they might arrest me too if a high ranked soldier ordered them to. My helpless eyes turned to the woman. She was moaning with anguish, and blood splattered on the ground and soaked her clothes. It was a scene that would haunt my dreams for the rest of my life.
How long would women keep suffering at the hands of the ruthless Law Corps? They never bothered to arrest men this way, as far as I knew.
Amid this chaos, one of the male soldiers stepped out of the armored car. My heart sank into my legs as I noticed his teal uniform replete with silver military medals attached to its lapel. He was a high ranked general.
The general approached me with measured steps, holding a small device and pointing at my ID lines.
He wanted to know who I was.

Saving the king was Lara’s first mistake. Her second? Looking up from her book and getting stuck as a spy.
Lara reads to escape her dead-end life as a scullery grunt. Before boredom can finish killing her slowly, she discovers (and foils) a secret plot to murder the king. Recognizing talent when they see it, the monarchs express their gratitude by plopping Lara into spy training.
Spying, however, is not as fun as one might expect, even with her trainer’s sense of humor and fascinating eyes as a distraction. There are hours of lessons in stealth combat, code-breaking, and dragon care. Then there’s all that nonsense about learning how to operate as part of a team. Especially aggravating are the physical aspects that all seem to require sweating.
Lara’s used to being the smartest one in the room, and should be the best. But being the best means putting down her book and risking the potential of real danger. Or worse, failure.
Can Lara master her fears to become a spy, or should she return to her lair under a pile of books and ignore the danger threatening the kingdom?
Over the Edge is a fantasy novel with a sweet romantic subplot and mild cliffhanger. It is the first book of the Magpie Network Series.
Targeted Age Group:: Teens and Adults
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I read faster than my favorite authors can write, so I decided to write the book I wanted to read. It worked and now I'm writing the sequel.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
"What if" questions always spark my interest. For this book, I wondered what would happen if a book-loving introvert was forced to interact as part of a team of extroverts. Lara was born to answer that question. Her teammates soon followed.
Book Sample
“There’s the island,” Matthew said.
Lara watched as an island filled her starboard view. It wasn’t huge by any stretch of the imagination, but it did boast a pier jutting out into the ocean. Jungle crept to the water’s edge, leaving no room for sandy beaches. Aside from a few birds, nothing moved. No boats were tied to the pier, and nothing could be made out through the thick greenery.
Lara watched as the island grew larger and closer. It then grew smaller and farther as they passed by without checking their speed. She sent Matthew a puzzled look.
“Oh, that’s not our destination,” he said before looking away from her to gaze straight ahead. “But it is a convenient decoy for anyone who tries to locate our actual supplier. We’ll stop there on our way back to meet the inhabitants and leave sufficient goods to maintain the illusion.”
“Then where are we going?” Lara asked. “There’s nothing left.”
The roar of rushing water had increased dramatically since lunch. If Lara strained, she could imagine the smudge on the horizon was the Edge she knew to be coming.
“You’ll see. When the island behind is about the size of your thumb, look forward and you’ll see our access point.”
“Our access point. Not destination?”

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Victim of an always active imagination, I wrote the story that I myself wanted to read. While there are some parallels in my life, I didn't write this as a "what if things were different" type of plot for me. If anything, it is as real a look into my conscious as I've ever shared as well as a love letter to what could have been.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I write what I know. I know small business and small towns, college basketball, and college relationships. That being said, the characters created their own identities the more I wrote. The character Riley, was easier to put into the story as there are many shared traits. The love interest Denara, combined a coulpe of people who were quite important to me at different points in life. All the other supporting cast are inspired by real life people in one way or another which makes them relatable to each reader in their own ways.
Book Sample
The dress for the day was boringly normal, just a t-shirt, blue jeans, and boots. He used to dress much nicer, more professional, by most standards but found a lack of respect from his crew for their “college boy” boss that had never worked in the field as far as they knew. The truth was he probably had as much if not more time with a paintbrush and roller in his hands as the guys twice his age, but they didn’t know that.
He opened the car door, tossed his backpack on the passenger side seat, sat down, closed his eyes, and sighed before starting the car and backing out of his parking space.
The tires spun on the uneven surface but grabbed quickly as he feathered off, then rolled his foot back onto the gas pedal. He was going way faster than the posted speed limit already. Actually, Riley King couldn’t even remember what the speed limit on this road was. Hell, he didn’t even remember the name of the road that he had driven on at least a thousand times before.
An old wood and brick house with a metal garage came into view. It was the house his buddy in middle school had grown up in. There was the treehouse, and even the old bike ramp they had dug and shaped with shovels was still there, now overgrown with weeds. The sight was lost in a blur as he sped by. The next curve on the road Riley knew from experience was gradual until you realized you had gone in too fast and it suddenly cut left. It was where Tom’s girlfriend had rolled her truck that one night before their senior year. That was a bad night.
Riley lifted his foot but didn’t brake or downshift. The high-performance Mercedes engine and its gearing would bring the speed back into a zone that he knew he could handle and maneuver through the turn without the tires even coming close to losing traction again or squealing in protest… unless he wanted them to.
Like his family, most all of his friends were gone now, having moved on or moved away from the small country place where they had lived and grown up. It wasn’t quite a one-horse town, but it was damn near close enough that most people got out as soon as they could and never looked back. The days of living in the same town you grew up in had passed by a generation or two ago. Not for Riley King though. He had a big mind but was a country boy at heart. He didn't have to be, it wasn't like it was bred into him by coming from a long line of farmers or something, but his parents had made a nice living for themselves by buying into and eventually becoming the sole owners of a small, yet very well reputed commercial paint company out off the freeway. His father had worked his butt off, probably too hard, to make King’s Commercial Painting a very lucrative and valuable business.
The freeway. Most people in the small town of Cheney Washington only saw it as a lifeline to get them to a real city, Spokane. Although most of them complained about how Spokane was no Seattle or Portland or San Francisco. Hell, most people couldn't place Spokane, let alone Cheney, on a map. Most everyone thought that if it was a town in Washington, it must be close to Seattle, right? Cheney wasn’t your stereotypical college town, instead, it was merely a town with a college in it. A distinction which equated huge differences.
The town itself was a ten minute drive away from Spokane, which meant that was where the shopping, eating, and everything else was. Cheney wasn’t isolated enough to contain their college residents. Most people only drove there to attend classes, then back to Spokane where they lived, worked, and played. Nothing lasted in the little non-farm town that wasn’t already there. Trains and bars, the rest were just revolving businesses that occupied the same buildings one after the next. Developers came through with great plans and visions, spent some money, lost it all, then moved on, leaving only the longtime residents like Riley in their abandoning wake.
The Mercedes SLS roadster roared more than sang as Riley pulled it out of the turn and rolled his foot hard to the floor. It was a rare and way too nice of a car – read: expensive – to be found in even one of the bigger towns on this side of the state… or the country for that matter. His father had been a car guy, a speed guru, and had very good taste in vehicles. Over the years he had amassed a small collection, but none as ridiculously over the top as the 570 horsepower SLS. It had cost an absolute fortune, but as a future retirement present to himself, he had justified it when a killer deal fell into his lap. Any roadster was not a very practical thing in this area. Impractical, and not as safe as was probably necessary with the four full seasons of weather, plus random animals and other wildlife constantly crossing the roads, not to mention other drivers who were not used to caring about nice things. In many ways it was a good thing it had been the Land Rover and not the Mercedes they had been traveling in that night, Riley thought. Not that the outcome would have been any different in the end.

Book Sample
Slowly trotting up, the rider pulled the reigns on his steed, stopping the beast approximately thirty feet from Abraham. Abraham could see the man was dressed in black, with two swords strapped to each side of his waist. It was hard to tell how tall he was, with him sitting on top of a horse, but Abe guessed he was slightly bigger than the average man. He had piercing eyes and a rugged look, but there was definitely nothing supernatural about his appearance.
“I am Abraham. What is your name?”
The dark figure said nothing. He just sat there on his horse, staring ahead with those dark, cold eyes.
Raising his voice, Abraham said, “My Master would like to meet you. He has sent us to escort you to him. Remove your weapons and come peacefully, or face the consequences.”
“The only consequence will be your death, but I will save you for last, so the fear can mount as your army diminishes before you,” the dark figure responded in a calm, calculating voice.
As soon as the last syllable left the dark figure’s tongue, he attacked. Abraham watched in awe as this man moved faster than anything he had ever seen. Pulling out his bow, he notched an arrow and fired, all in one motion. It seemed as soon as one arrow hit its mark; another was already being released. Before Abraham could even give the command to attack, five of his soldiers lay dead.
“The Master commanded to take him alive!” Abraham screamed wide-eyed as he bit his lower lip. “Surround him and use your numbers to overwhelm him!”

Tigeropolis is the story of a group of tigers battling to save their forest from deforestation. It’s fun, yet also with a strong conservation message that should appeal to children of all ages. Bittu and Mattie, our brave tiger cubs, lead the way in a series of adventures using their ingenuity to find a way to save their beloved Tigeropolis from the bulldozers.
Targeted Age Group:: 8-12 years
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The Tigeropolis series was directly inspired by my first ever sighting of a tiger – I’ve seen quite a number of tigers since then, but I’ll always remember that first encounter. We'd gone for days and days without seeing a single tiger. I was really keen to see one. It was my last night in India. I was flying back to the UK the next day and it was late, it was now near dusk. We’d had no luck and so we were driving back to camp, defeated. I was resigned to never seeing a tiger as I wasn’t sure when I’d next be in India.
Just as we were about to drive out of the park a tiger suddenly decided to stir and show itself. In all probability the tiger had been there for hours, laid up in the undergrowth escaping the 40 degree heat of the mid-day sun. It strolled past us for a a hundred yards or so, let us take a few photographs and then disappeared back into the jungle. It was totally in control. Right there and then I thought – why not write a series where the tigers are in control. I started mapping out the first book on the plane back to London.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The stories revolve around Bittu and Matti – brother and sister tiger cubs.
Bittu is about 8 years old in human terms and is enthusiastic, if a little impractical. Matti is a little older (10), fun, but also more of a thinker. The cubs might occasionally bicker, but in combination they are central to the tigers’ success.
In the real world tigers are quite solitary, so the cubs only with live their mother Tala. Her name is taken from the name of the area in Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve in Northern India where I encountered my first tiger in the wild after days of searching.
Uncles Raj and VJ are twins, but very different. Raj is very formal, ex military – he was a mascot in the army, whilst VJ is a kaftan wearing hippy that persuaded the family to turn vegetarian.
The two forest guards – Mr Mistry and Akash – are also central figures. Although sometimes the butt of the humour, they are also an affectionate tribute to the thousands of real Forest Guards who work tirelessly everyday, often during quite demanding conditions, to safeguard tigers and other wildlife in tiger reserves across India.
Book Sample
Bittu was tired… and just a little lost.
He’d been having a great time chasing a little sambar deer through the jungle. They had run past the old abandoned fort, past the tumbled-down whitewashed stone temple, past the old hollowed-out water storage pond filled with the darkest greeny-black water you could imagine, and down a twisty, sandy track to the very edge of the old sal forest where he lived.
He knew he should have stopped. But chasing sambar was such fun and he felt sure that in just a little while more he would have caught him. Twenty minutes later, however, he realized the sambar must have given him the slip and disappeared through a hole in the fence somewhere back
at the little crossroads.
‘Oh well… next time,’ thought Bittu.

Only royal fae blood can lift the king’s curse on the alpha bloodline. And one fae is about to pay that price…
When Fae Princess Athroxanne loses her father in a brutal battle, a blood curse makes her the biggest target of the wolf shifters…dead or alive.
Her only hope is a risky bet to bargain for her life: if she can win the duel against the Alpha, she’ll be set free. Except, she loses the battle, binding her to a promise to help lift the curse.
Problem is, the Fae Council forbids their kind from associating with wolf shifters, which means Athroxanne if forced to chose who’s trust she will betray: that of her leads, or that of wolf clan who’s Alpha has already proven capable of ending her life.

It’s the moment just before death that I fear most. The healing energies are the hardest to craft, and weaving the yellow spell cord hurts like a fire burning from within you. But killing someone with a blue spell cord is much worse. Your blood becomes cold as ice as the cord makes impact with enemy skin.
Fae don’t even talk about the red cord.
Right now though, there was a need for a substantial yellow healing cord. The limp rabbit in my hand had been wounded by claws dug deep into its flesh. Four cuts ran down its neck and onto one of its front paws.
I sighed and looked up at my father. “Why would anyone do this without first blessing it in a Fae Temple?”
“It looks as if a big beast was hungry.”
That made me worry my biggest fear had come to fruition: that a wolf-shifter had strayed into fae territory.

The dynamics between the characters develop from even in society around them, however the characters grow with the decisions they make. Anthorxanne is thrown into her responsibility after her father dies and have to take on the responsibility as roler from having been daddy's girl.

This book, The Pastor, is the final sequel to its predecessors, The Contractor and The Sheriff. It picks up right where The Sheriff left off, in the middle of the new sheriff, Huey, chasing after his prime suspect. I had to tie up a lot of loose ends and bring closure to this series.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I brought back as many characters from the first two books in the series, as well as introducing some new blood to the mix. They are all just as colorful and exciting as the old familiar faces.
Book Sample
Chapter 1
Sheriff Huey Morgan was in the biggest predicament of his professional career. No more than twenty minutes ago, the biggest criminal in the most recent history of the town of Fellowship, maybe even all of Duck County, Tennessee, just slipped through his grasp… and he was partially responsible.
No doubt about it, Pastor Judas Daniel Jones sped down the highway out of town, with Huey hot on his tail. They, dangerously, came close to taking out mailboxes, the Shippy’s dog, and a ton of Mayor Rube Willis’s re-election signs (Huey wasn’t so upset about that part).
What he was upset about was the fact that a little boy, Gabriel Hunt, was the only thing standing between Pastor Jones and a cell in the Duck County Sheriff’s Department. You see, Gabriel Hunt stepped out in front of Huey’s patrol car, just as Huey was reeling in on the pastor. If Huey hadn’t stopped to avoid serious harm to the boy, then he would have nabbed Pastor Jones in that moment. The highway splits off at that point, and Huey had no idea which direction he was heading. It made no sense to pick one of the three possible routes, because chances are, he would’ve picked the wrong one.
Huey had already returned back on his trip through the town to the police station. He decided that, although the pastor was out of sight, he could still interrogate the person that let him go, a Miss Cynthia Henderson, special investigator to the state, who was currently residing in the cell meant for Pastor Jones.
Huey was still full of adrenaline after that chase, then add almost hitting the little boy into the mix. He was trying to calm himself down and be more composed in front of Sharon as he headed towards the station.
But, as he walked through the parking lot, towards the door, Huey noticed that something wasn’t right. The door was cracked open. Even in his hurried attempt to catch his man, Huey knew that he still closed the front door. He always closes the front door. It’s a good practice to have, and it keeps the flies out. Huey hates killing flies…
His pace quickened, as he reached the front door. The smell of old money still emanated from inside. No matter what they did, Huey and Absalom could never get rid of that scent. It had been there so long that it was part of the building now. Huey was certain that there was still money hidden inside somewhere, maybe something that the old bank manager was illegally stashing off to the side, and every time that he smelled it, those thoughts flooded his brain. But, there was no time to think about that now.
Seeing that door cracked open, now his heart was pounding a mile a minute again. He could feel the blood rushing to his brain. Huey slammed the door open. The light fully rushed in to the bank, bouncing off the once-invisible, but now-disturbed dust particles. Dashing into the office, he swiftly looked over to the cell. There was, in fact, someone locked in there, but it wasn’t who he expected to see. It was Sharon Hunter, his fiancée.

My husband I were talking about various Gads (Gods) and Dieties. How they all still live in various places and forms, the inspiration behind where they live, etc. I wanted to tell a story of slavery, but make it fiction so it could be entertaining while still giving a life lesson. I thought of how strong and brave our people are, but added a little fiction to the story.

Nirjin laughed and said:
My entire realm, let alone my planet, isn't anywhere NEAR

Nirjin, Khyra and Thorus engaged in battle. Many elders were captured. The children escaped into the tunnel below the castle. Khyrus stayed behind underneath the hidden door to watch their fight. He didn't want his home to be in Nirjin's control. He wanted everyone to be happy. Live the way they always have. Not have a leader who's only for himself.

Diamond Young is a Dallas postal worker who does black market butt jobs on the side, creating havoc in her life and that of others, which comes to a shocking head.
Targeted Age Group:: 18-65
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Many women deal with self-esteem issues and resort to low-cost butt enhancement on the black market, which leads to hazardous and tragic consequences. The Pumper is intended to highlight and forewarn of this reality.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Diamond is typical low middle-class individual seeking a better life but going about it in an illegal pathway. Her life is a cautionary tale, and characters surrounding her act as foils, and give direct and subtle opposition to her sabotaging route in life.
Book Sample
Diamond walked out a Dallas post office in her carrier outfit and found her black Lexus coupe—what remained of it. The torched body rested on the flattened tires and blackened $2,000 rims. The windows lay like crushed ice on her melted seats when she looked in. She grabbed the edges of the frame and felt the jagged glass when she swung around in disgust, shaking her head toward the ground and her closed fist dipping toward it.
“Damned!”
She surveyed the parking lot and saw nothing but a yardful of USPS jeeps and vans, and Jade and Boston’s cars parked nose to nose near the barbed wire fence. She snatched out her cell phone and dialed while sprinkles of rain dampened her screen.
“911, do you need police, ambulance, or fire department?” the dispatcher said in a flat voice.
“Police.”
“What’s the nature of the emergency?”
Diamond fidgeted and walked around to get a better look at her windshield. It said in fat white letters: Watch your back!
“Ma’am?” said the dispatcher.
“Yes…my car was totaled out. Burned up…windows busted. I just want to file a report.”
“Your name?”
“Diamond Young.”
“Address?”
“Post office on Tom Landry Freeway.”
“Someone is on the way to you. Stay on the line, ma'am.”
“Okay.”

Most people learn to write comedy through trial and error, an intuitive process that can take years to develop. But what most people don’t know is that formulas and techniques exist which can cut that process down to about a month. Whether you’re a novelist, essayist, blogger, journalist, speechwriter, ghostwriter, or advertiser, if you’re looking for ways to integrate more humor into your writing, this book is for you.
In two short volumes, we’ll cover over two dozen comedy-writing techniques and formulas, including:
– The Algebra of Humor
– The Listing Technique
– The Mind Mapping Method
– Spoonerisms and Malapropisms
– The Backdown Formula
– The Truth and Observation Formulas
– The Smashing Assumptions Formula
– The Roast Technique
– The Clash of Context Formula
– The Switch and Reverse Formulas
And many more. So what are you waiting for?

Many years ago, I took a class which promised to teach joke writing formulas, one new formula per class session. After five class sessions, it just started repeating the previous ones. The instructor apparently knew a total of five such techniques. I knew there were more, so I spent a decade finding and testing them.

Comedic irony works best when it’s built into the characters, like a guy who means well but knows little, or someone suffering from a crippling case of Dunning-Kruger effect. But my personal favorite is the one I’ve taken to calling Schrödinger's Butt. You’re probably already familiar with Schrödinger's Douchebag, where a character says demeaning things which they really mean until/unless someone complains, at which point they suddenly insist it was all just a joke. Well, Schrödinger's Butt is when the butt of the demeaning statements-turned-jokes flips the joke back on them. The Paul Finch character in “American Pie,” the one who sleeps with Stiffler’s mom, is an example of this.

There will be sad days and days when you feel overwhelmed. We all have them. They are part of life and frankly it would get boring if it was all sunshine and kittens. We can’t avoid the bad days, but we can chose how we deal with them. Today I have some tips to share with you when you are struggling to find happiness in a sea of sadness or overwhelm. I hope you find it helpful.
We all go through hard times. There are periods in our lives where it is hard to find much joy and happiness amid a sea of sadness and overwhelm. We have times when we feel like we’re in way over our head and can’t think straight. That causes lots of stress and as we’ve talked about in a previous post, stress kills happiness.
There are also incredibly sad times in our lives. Relationships end and we lose loved ones. There is certainly a time to grieve and we need to process that loss. We also need these sad moments in life to contrast the happier ones. Without sadness, happiness would be very meaningless. Think about that for a moment. If you’re never sad, always happy, happiness becomes the new normal, not something to appreciate and strive toward.
That being said, there are things you can do to find a little happiness during these tough times. Often that is all it takes to help you make it through that period in your life. You can’t expect to flip a switch and suddenly everything is rainbows and roses. And why would you want that? We need time to process and grieve when we lose someone, and the overwhelm and stress help us stay on our toes and get stuff done. What we need is to see a little light at the end of the tunnel. We need that little bit of happiness to give us hope.
Let’s talk about how you can go about creating that little bit of happiness to get you through the hard times. The first thing you may want to focus on is gratitude. Whenever you feel particularly bad, sad, or overwhelmed and don’t know where to turn, think about the many people and things in your life that you can be grateful for. If you’ve recently lost a loved one, be grateful for the time you’ve had with them and the things you’ve learned from this special person. If you’re stressed out at work or in your own business, be grateful that you’re growing and making progress. It may not be easy, but this overwhelm and stress usually means that much better things are ahead.
I find it’s also extremely helpful to find the joy in the little things. Maybe you’re not ready to be grateful and that’s ok. Instead, pay attention to your surroundings and find a little joy in what’s around you. Let that toddler playing in the park put a smile on your face. Enjoy the first warm rays of sunshine in the spring, or notice how beautiful that flower in your garden is. In other words, look around and find a little joy and happiness where you can. Above all, remember that even during hard times, it’s ok to find and appreciate these little moments of happiness.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Two people inspired Seasons. First a friend of mine whose husband abandoned her leaving her with two children and no support. I was in awe of the courage she showed moving forward. While I was visiting a nursing home, I happened to cross paths with a man who loyally tended to his sick wife. I am amazed at how the human spirit can triumph and conversely how easily it can be crushed.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I identified with Elizabeth. She isn't perfect, she makes mistakes, but she is hopeful. Max is my dream man. A loyal, take charge guy who only reaches a breaking point when something or someone he loves is threatened.
Book Sample
"Oh, Brad, don't you love the name? Emerald Isle. It sounds so exotic. And look, there's the park. It does look like a big green island, just like the brochure said."
Elizabeth MacMillan sat forward, the seat belt straining across her huge belly. The fingers of one hand were spread on the window as if she could touch the lush green grass through the glass, the other lay directly over her baby's kicking feet. She grinned that southern grin of hers. All teeth, sensuous wide lips tipping up making her look like the girl she really was.
"I think Christopher likes the name, too."
Her drawl became soft when she said the baby's name. She reached for her husband's hand and said "feel" but he pulled back
"Honey, come on. I'm driving. I don't want to have an accident." The reprimand was so even, so softly spoken, that Elizabeth didn't notice the edge to it.
“Don’t be a goof. We're only going ten miles an hour," Elizabeth laughed. Life was grand, her head was in the clouds, and her feet were nowhere near the earth. "What are we going to do if you're always this careful? How will this boy ever learn to ride a bike if his own daddy doesn't want to live a little? Raise your voice once in a while. Give me a little what-for when I need it instead of romancing me all the time with that poetry of yours.”
Elizabeth leaned across the seat and put her head on Brad's shoulder.
“Not that I don't love the poetry. I surely do. Then again, I can see your point. It probably wouldn't be seemly for a brilliant young college professor to go throwing caution to the wind, would it?"
She poked him in the side then sat up straight, tiring of the fun before Brad could decide if he was having any. Her green eyes widened. She pointed.
"There! There it is. Our new house. Our home, Brad."
Brad eased the car toward the curb and was out of the door before Elizabeth managed to open hers.
"Out you come," he said.
Brad hung on the open door, as Elizabeth got out of the car. She tugged at the t-shirt that showed every last bulge of her belly. He looked away, pushing his sunglasses up his nose, looking at the place that would tie him to a thirty-year mortgage at a whopping eight and a half percent. Then he looked at his wife as she waddled up the brick walk, calling for him, chattering about the landscaping, curtains, and furniture. He shook his head, thinking that his pretty little wife had her rose-colored glasses firmly in place if she thought they could afford all that. Yes, those glasses were rosier than the rosiest ones in the world. She was his little cheerleader, Elizabeth.
Smiling ruefully, thinking fleetingly of what might have been if Elizabeth hadn't shined her light on him, Brad MacMillan closed the car door and followed. He put down his peevish mood to buyer’s regret. Then again, maybe it should be called life regret. Tenure hadn't been awarded yet, and the payments on this place were high. Sometimes the nine-year difference between him and Elizabeth seemed more like a hundred. Where she felt energized, he felt tired. Where she saw possibilities, he saw roadblocks.
"Hurry, Brad," Elizabeth called, and he did.
He even felt happier because she had a beauty that couldn't be ignored and her happiness couldn't be detected. He learned long ago that it was better to embrace her energy when it came at him like a fireball, or he'd get scorched as it whizzed by. Eighteen months of marriage and Brad MacMillan was just beginning to realize that Elizabeth was actually infectious, and he still had a bad dose of the disease.
"It's a great house, sweetheart. I hope you like it as much in thirty years as you do now," he said as he walked up to the door.
"I will," she whispered, slipping her arms around his waist and pulling him as close as she could. The baby jumped and in that instant Brad MacMillan's heart swelled. He loved Elizabeth, the baby, and this big tract home more than he loved anything in the world. When she put her head to his chest, he buried his lips in her hair. What a lucky man he was. She gave so much and expected so little.
"Well, we might as well take a look."
Brad held Elizabeth aside and opened the door for her, but she didn't move. Perplexed, he waved her in, but she stayed still.
"It's our first home," she said. "Aren't you going to carry me over the threshold?”
Before he could react, Elizabeth laughed and lumbered past him before it dawned on him that she was joking. Experiencing an Elizabeth moment-of-nonsense always threw him off track.
He shook his head and followed her. The August heat felt more oppressive in this closed up house than it did outside. He turned to close the door but was distracted by the sight of the huge park outside. Instead of the lush green oasis of Elizabeth's heart, all Brad saw were heat waves shimmering o the blacktop that surrounded it. Nine o'clock in the morning and the sun was already unbearable. He hated heat. Air conditioning would be expensive, but necessary. He would just have to get used to the sacrifice now that he was a family man.
Closing the door Brad MacMillan listened to Elizabeth's excited exclamations echo through the house as he thought about air-conditioning, his growing family, his impending tenure, and fatherhood. Most of all he thought about a change of season. That would be nice. Yes, a change of season.

When Brigit, the niece of Thia’s secretary, tells her parents that she is going to visit her boyfriend’s family in Pakistan instead of coming home immediately for her school holiday, they’re nearly panicked. But Thia assures July that the girl is just exploring life and not to worry. Now, the girl is not on the flight she promised her parents she would be, the number she gave her parents in Pakistan claims not to know the boyfriend, and no one has heard from Brigit in more than two weeks. At this point, feeling guilty for her somewhat cavalier attitude before, even Thia is slightly panicked. If only Derek—her lover and spook for the government—were here to advise her. Not to worry, she tells July, she’ll pop over to the Middle East and find the girl. Sounds simple to her naïve mind. Does she have any clue the culture into which she’s stepped? Uh… No.
Derek Hawkins is in Tajikistan, posing undercover to apprehend and halt a drug and weapons dealer known throughout the Mid-East as the Claw. He’s ruthless but knows how to entertain clients waiting for their product. In addition to a well-stocked bar, the Claw offers a well-stocked brothel, with women from all around the world. Most especially just now, with a young American woman. Derek doesn’t know how the woman found her way to the butt hole of the world, but she doesn’t seem in need of rescuing. Derek can only imagine how incensed Thia would be over such an establishment. Then he doesn’t have to imagine—This is there. Great. How can he get her out while trying also to liberate ten American missiles, stolen and being sold by the Claw? It seems an agent’s work is never done.

You’ve heard ‘don’t sweat the small stuff’, but there’s a flip side to this conversation. While you don’t want all the small annoying things and little stresses stress you out, you do want to pay attention to small things that bring you joy and happiness. That’s what today’s blog post is all about.
‘Don’t sweat the small stuff’ they say. And they – whoever “they” is – have a good point. It’s easy to get caught up in all the little things that stress us out and ruin our day. Frankly it’s not worth wasting a lot of energy on a lot of things that happen on a daily basis that we don’t like.
Sure, we could get upset over the fact that someone else took the last good parking spot, or that the grocery store is out of our favorite brand of cereal. Or we can choose to not make a big deal out of it and use that small, fairly insignificant stuff to practice seeing the positive side of things. Having to park further away means we get to exercise a little and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine for a couple of minutes while we stroll into the office. Not being able to find our favorite cereal, means we get a chance to try something new that we may like even better.
There are often two sides to any situation and as human beings we have a choice in how we look at it. Make it a goal to look on the bright side and watch your happiness and contentment go up. Then take it a step further and start to really pay attention to all the good stuff around you. Stop and smell the roses, if you will.
I’m serious. There’s a lot of value in noticing all the positive things around you. There’s a lot of tiny little things around you that will put a smile on your face, if you take the time to notice them. Make it a habit to spend some of your downtime this week to savor the small stuff. Notice how your cup of coffee smells, how it warms your hands on a cool morning, and how it tastes. Pay attention to the birds outside your window and notice how watching them and their antics around the bird feeder makes you smile. Appreciate the hug your little one gives you after you pick her up from school. In other words, savor all the small stuff that makes you happy. It may not be much, but it all adds up to a very happy life. You just have to make the time to notice it.
Over the coming weeks, practice noticing and savoring the small stuff. Don’t let the bad stuff bring you down. Instead, make it a goal to find something positive about everything that happens to you throughout the day. Pay particular attention to all the little things that make you smile. Acknowledge them and it won’t take long before you feel this simple little exercise making a big difference in your overall outlook on life.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I was inspired to write this book following my retirement from the U.S. Army after 27 years of service. I had shared stories of deployment and combat with friends and family, and they urged me to put it in writing. My intent was to share my experiences so that younger Soldiers could possibly learn something, and to share with anyone interested in our Nation's military history and warfare.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
My inspiration for the whole series was my 9 year old daughter. She is such a precocious delight who definitely would raise a demon if she thought she could. A lot of the characterization/plot is my religious upbringing accidentally shining through years of being a skeptic. And for this particular book–the back story appeared when I was writing book 2 of the series, and I had to follow that down the rabbit hole. I've lived in the Pacific Northwest for a very long time, now, and it's so beautiful here, so that makes the settings a no brainer.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
As for the rest of my characters – they are pieces of me and people I know pulled out and spun together. (And, if I'm really upset with a person, they might just find their name in my next murder mystery… Just sayin'.)

Once you accept, the miracle happens.
Who doesn’t want to achieve a prosperous, wealthy, peaceful, and evergreen life? Actions follow the path that diverts us from reaching the goal. If the right person takes the right action at the right time, the goal is achievable.
Success, money, fame or happiness are values. You use the money to validate wealth or service. It would be best to recognize that money is the value that is a return to your action. It is the transformed form of the energy you apply in your action.
“To perceive this super consciousness, you must have an entrance to the zero frequency state.”
This book is a short story of a fantastic person with unique, extraordinary knowledge of human life.
He says, “As you know, we may not notice something with our binocular vision; our peripheral vision does that. In the same manner, our conscious mind may ignore an incident; our subconscious mind sees that. One step further, you can say nothing is unseen by our unconscious mind. As we can increase the area of our peripheral vision through exercise, we can gain the skill to recall memories from our unconscious mind.”
We often meet people with extraordinary qualities in our day-to-day life. Some of them amaze us with their exceptional knowledge. Even a simple fact may explore a whole alternative universe in front of us with their unique explanation. Mr Anand, with his vast knowledge of science, religion, psychology, and history, is a person of this domain. A wonderful personality I have ever met. I was introduced to this amazing person by Joy Malhotra, one of my friends. We used to meet him in the evening to listen to him.
In such an evening, Joy raised an unusual topic about his dream. Naturally, we ignore this type of incident and forget it. But the explanation Mr Anand gave forced me to brood over the matter. This book is a narration of Mr Anand’s explanation. There is an urge in this story to rethink what we already may know. I hope readers will enjoy the story.
Mr Anand says, “We make several new decisions and take further actions in our day-to-day lives. The day passes by, and we forget it. We can not remember the process behind it because we did not repeat the process. Considering those recent actions as a newly learned skill, we can look into how we took action. Once we repeat the operation numerous times in our mind, we learn it. It becomes our experience.”
“If we could remember every action we had taken, our lives would have been more productive and straightforward. If we could find out the fear that stopped us, achieving the desired goal would have been just a matter of time.”
Thus, the book is written with some unique ideas of Mr Anand. I hope you will like it.

Cameron Vargas is just a regular teenage girl. She has crushes, friends, and awkward fights with her parents. But she’s not a regular teenage girl. Her friends are all imaginary, her crushes are all book characters, and her parents are nonexistent. And even if she can’t control her parental situation, she can sum up all her other problems into two words: Oscar Winefield. Her life is the same day in and out, but through a twist of fate she is introduced to a world she’s only imagined in her fantasy books.
Oscar has his own problems. He doesn’t have a support system, his parents don’t care about him, and his family life is falling apart. He has no problem with her, but he has bigger things to worry about than Squirrel Girl and her weird friends. But no matter how hard he tries to avoid them, his past mistakes keep popping up to haunt him. Despite all of this, he still tries to lead a normal life, even when he agrees to a favor that has him questioning the definition of ‘normal.’ But when that favor starts to snowball into something he doesn’t want to be a part of, Oscar has to wonder whether he’s still up to the task.
Targeted Age Group:: 13-18
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The whole initial point started with a dream. I dreamt about Cameron staring at and walking into her school, which is how I started the book. I wrote it down into Hiveword and took a look at it, and, using my imagination, the plot started to develop from there.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I had a dream about a girl who could talk to animals. I winged chapter one, but then at the beginning of chapter 2 I thought, 'why not make Oscar a main character?' So I did! That's how I got my two MCs, and I added characters like Devon and Kai because… well, you need supporting characters. Why not an expressive Asian girl and a Black-Hawain best friend?
Book Sample
Devon helps me up again and we continue down the hall. He shakes his head. "I'm such a great friend, Oscar. You should be so grateful to have me. But you have a lot of explaining to do."
I sigh. "Later, OK? When there aren't any people to overhear."
He rolls his eyes as we open the door to the nurse's office. Cameron, Kai, and Keven are already there. Keven isn't glaring at me anymore, and Kai is sitting in a chair with her leg elevated.
Cameron is sitting with her head in her hands. Keven pokes her in the ribs.
"Cam. Company."
She looks up and widens her eyes slightly before hastily looking at the ground. Devon eyes me out of the side of his eye.
"Oscar, my dude. The effect you have on women is legendary."
I sneer and stick my tongue out at him, ignoring my friend and his sarcasm. I look around.
"Where's Dr. Helese?"
Kai shrugs. "Left to go find some more gauze."
Devon stares at her for a minute. She's gazing out the window at the sun (why?).
While the nurse is out, I might as well ask the question that's eating me up inside. So I blurt it out.
"Why are you guys here? On the Crust, I mean."
Kai glances up from the window and points to Devon. "He's safe?"
I nod. "He doesn't necessarily believe you guys exist, but yes."
Kai and Keven both look at Cameron, who just whimpers and hides behind her hair (I'm starting to realize she does that a lot). Keven pokes her again.
"Um… Cam? Are you OK?"
Kai slaps his hand away. "Leave her alone, Keven. She's shy." She turns to us.
"Cameron is from the Tropos. She didn't know, though. So Keven and I are here to help her sort out her life. And I have to beat you up. Also, I wanted to try fasta."
Keven grunts. "Pasta, Kai."
"That's what I said."
I blink. OK, then. Devon is looking supremely confused. He puts me down in a chair.
"So you're telling me… all that stuff Oscar told me was real? About there being other inhabitable layers of Earth?"
Kai glares at me. "You told a Crustacean?"
I frown. "I'm Crustacean. What's the problem with telling another Crustacean?"
Devon frowns as well. "I… don't like being called that."
Keven raises an eyebrow. "Why not?"
Kai tilts her head. "Probably because it makes them sound like crabs, Keven." She looks at me. "What's your specialty?"
I flinch under her intense gaze. It's cold and it… sees straight into my soul. I shudder as I respond. "Well… I'm good at basketball. And art."
She grunts. "I have no idea what basketball is. How good are you at art?"
Devon pipes up as he sits in a chair beside me. "Super. He won an award for recreating the Mona Lisa almost to perfection. Almost. Apparently her left eyelid was up slightly too high."
Kai stares at him before turning to Keven. "Kev! You're the expert on humans; what's the Mona Lisa?"
The boy tosses an arm around Cameron's shoulder. "It's a famous painting by Leonardo de Vinci of some lady with a really tiny smile. Real masterpiece. If he recreated it, he's worth it, Kai."
She stares hard at me before nodding with a small smile. She turns the intense-icy-soul searching gaze on Devon, who struggles to hold it.
"What's your name?"
He swallows. "Devon."
She crosses her arms. "And what are you good at, Devon?"
He blinks and looks to me for help. I frown. "You don't know what you're good at?"
He scratches his head. "Other than basketball? No, not really."
Kai makes a slightly disappointed face as I rack my brain. I hum. "You're good at… computer stuff. You're good with technology."
Devon blinks. "That's not a talent."
Before I can say anything, Kai's eyes light up. She gasps. "You're a technology person? Can you help me with my phone? Keven and I got Crustacean technology to match Cameron's."
Devon bites his lip in curiosity. "What's wrong with it?"
Kai pulls out a phone. It's the really expensive one that just came out last week. She hands it to Devon, who furrows his brow as he presses the power button. After a minute, the screen turns on and the logo shows up. He purses his lips and raises an eyebrow, handing the phone back to Kai.
"It's… dead, Kai."
The girl blinks. "It's… what? How? I didn't even do anything to it! I'm not a murderer."
Devon holds out his phone to show her the battery. She tries to look before realizing she can't go anywhere with her leg. She frowns. Devon (seeing her discomfort) moves to the chair beside her.
"Look," he says, pointing to something on his screen. "That's the battery. See how it's in the red? That's because it's on one per… oh. Well, it died. Just like yours."
Cameron suddenly runs out of the room with her head in her hands and Keven runs after her. After frowning at them for a bit, Kai turns back to Devon.
"So… how do we get it to live again?"
Devon blinks slowly. "You charge it. Don't you have chargers in… wherever you're from?"
Kai huffs. "It's called Layara. And no, we don't. Our phones don't die. Only animals, plants, and people." She groans loudly and hurls the phone at the floor. Devon barely manages to catch it.
"Hey! Do you know how expensive this phone is? You can't just throw it at the ground!"
Kai refolds her arms and glares at the phone. "Your technology is primitive! And where's the nurse? It shouldn't take this long to get gauze. I can't even stand up to grant you your official respect."
Devon smiles in confusion but doesn't say anything. Staring at Kai's clothes, he asks a question.
"Hey, Kai?"
"Hey, Devon."
"What's the point of your hoodie?"
She hums and raises an eyebrow. "Well, I'm wearing it because I'm cold. And I'm wearing it because I like it. I'm also wearing it to cover my shirt. Do you want to know what my shirt covers, Devon? Are you that curious?"
I snort as Devon's ears color. He looks away and the nurse comes back, carrying two rolls of gauze. I guess he was asking because Kai's hoodie says 'I speak English. Watch me spit bars in Portuguese.'
Yeah, I don't get it either.

Killian is a terminally ill Iraq War veteran, and he wants only one thing before he dies: To avenge his best friend, Tyler, whom he failed to save in Iraq.
When he runs into Hassan, an ordinary family man who looks like the insurgent that killed Tyler, Killian is certain that he has hit the jackpot. Finding out that Hassan’s family is away on vacation, Killian invades Hassan’s house, determined to get a confession out of him.
As Killian goes to great lengths in this “enhanced” interrogation, some dark and disturbing secrets begin to surface for both of them. But everything changes when Hassan turns the tables on Killian and forces him to confront the naked truth…
Is Killian making a grave mistake? Or is Hassan the new face of jihad?

I have watched the second Iraq War through visual and print media. I have seen the atrocities and the suffering on both sides. I have served as an officer in the Turkish Gendarmerie Forces for 5 years, and I know how a soldier feels and acts. I wanted to explore and tell the hopes and pains of the soldiers and civilians on both sides, who are crushed by the greed of the rulers.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I have served at a border station in the Turkish-Iraqi border and I have lost several friends in that area, as the American soldier has in the novel. I know how a soldier feels and acts in those situations. This is where that character has come from.

PROLOGUE
One-one thousand.
First, you hear the crack of the bullet whizzing by, and then you start counting. But instead of saying ‘one, two, three…’, you say ‘one-one thousand, two-one thousand, three-one thousand…’ to make up the entire second. And you don’t stop counting until you hear—
BANG!
Then, you multiply the seconds elapsed between the crack and the bang by 300 yards, and you’ll have the average distance between you and death. And you thank God that your enemy isn’t a good shooter, or that he (or she) has decided to aim at another poor soldier instead of you.
Good luck with survivor’s guilt for the rest of your life.
You learn this basic knowledge in boot camp. What you wouldn’t learn is that if the bullet is meant for you, then you won’t ever hear the crack or the bang. The bullet passes the speed of sound, and then it changes your world faster than the speed of light.
Killian first used this counting method when they were pinned down by a sniper in Iraq. Later, he caught himself using it at close firefights, and then again, when they were blown up by an IED. To his surprise, he found counting very relaxing. He kept it up whenever he felt bad or worried, even after going back home. And he’s been counting a lot since coming back home.
Although he has felt like waiting to catch a bullet his whole life, he’s now about to die from a stab wound in the back of an ambulance rushing toward the nearest hospital. He wants to laugh at the irony of it all, but the injuries he’s sustained from this – both the best and the worst night of his life – make it impossible to move even a muscle.
The ringing in his ears, which has been with him since his days in Iraq, suddenly evolves into a loud howl. It’s so loud that it drowns out the wailing of the ambulance siren and the frantic voices of the paramedics, desperately trying to save his life. But having wished he were dead for some time now, – at the moment of actually facing death – Killian realizes he wants to live.
He knows from experience that, to survive a bullet wound, the first thing you should do is to stay calm and avoid going into shock.
Calm down, Killian tells himself. Calm down. Relax. Take a deep breath.
He locates a spot above him and fixes his stare on the roof of the ambulance. Then he begins to count…

After graduating college (B.A. in English (Creative Writing, of course) and a Minor in Nutrition), I was so LOST.
I thought a job would just fall in my lap after I graduated college. And one did, but not one that pays the bills and lights that fire of passion inside me. While all of my friends went off doing big kid things, I ended up getting a job as a server (and I LOVED my job and my environment), but something was MISSING.
I discovered a new coffee shop that had opened up nearby. I had only recently become a coffee lover (8 AM college classes do that for you) so walking in there was like tiptoeing on eggshells only with the scent of freshly ground coffee instead of eggs (1000% better in my opinion, but no judgment here). I had no idea what to order! What’s the difference between a latte and a mocha? A cappuccino? Coffee and espresso?
Thank the Lord for baristas–home girl helped me out and that’s how my addiction to lattes began (NO JUDGMENT HERE).
I sat down in a wooden chair, rather uncomfy for my bum if I do say so myself, and set my notebook down and started writing down the stories swirling around in my head waiting to spill out. Thankfully, I learned that a laptop was more efficient for me to get out the words, I was a much faster typer than I was a penman. My writing professors would be so offended if they ever found out (that’s why they’ll never see this post ).
From that point on, I would travel over to that coffee shop and write my little heart out for hours. And do it over again on my next day off. When I went out of town to visit friends and had to wait for them to get off work, I’d try out a local coffee shop and write. I was utterly lost in my writing and I LOVED it.
I’m just thankful there are people out there that are interested in reading my stories. That girl 3 years ago, the one slurping on her iced vanilla soy latte, had no clue what this journey had in store for.
And the woman writing this? She’s sipping on a HOT soy vanilla latte working hard to get this book published and out to the world.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
A lot of my creative inspiration came from Pinterest. I'm a huge fan of different styles of art whether it be setting or character-focused. When I found character art that kind of "clicked" for what I wanted or felt inspired to have in my book, I added it to a board as visual inspiration.

Chapter 1
Screams and shouts echoed throughout the humid night’s air. My heart rapid-fire against my chest.
The sounds of her struggles cut off. The raged warrior cry abruptly morphed. Terror combined with unimaginable pain heightened the pitch of her voice, latching onto me as I peeled farther and farther into the bare forest. My throat squeezed, but I pumped my arms faster. Her screams followed me, the steady stretch of distance dimming the heartbreaking confession of agony. A loud crack slammed into my senses causing me to stutter in my stride. A branch had broken underfoot. I couldn’t hear much over my rushed footfalls and ragged breathing. They had to be following me. Were they close? Breathing down my neck? Back of my neck tingling, I pushed harder. Faster. Far away from here. From them.
Air whistled past. Branches smacked my skin. Rocks stabbed my bare feet. My muscles burned, begging me to relent. To ease my pace. But I couldn’t, not now. If I was caught, a promise of a much more painful fate than my lack of endurance awaited me.
Blood and dirt marred the once-white material of the formless dress I was forced to wear. I endured a relentless pace. Sweat soaking my skin. Add in a dash of humidity, a whole lot of fear, and I was drenched, the dress clinging to my body like a second skin.
When I was first captured, I’d plotted and planned every second I was awake. How far I would go to get out, what I would do to them once I got out. Bitterness raked my insides. But what could I do? Nothing. I was powerless. Weak. Helpless. That point had been absorbed harshly and quickly after my first—and only—attempt at escape. I didn’t try again.
I had given up hope. Until tonight.
I would have rotted in that cell if it weren’t for her. She created a window of opportunity. A small one, but one that couldn’t be wasted. And yet, I had hesitated for the barest of moments.
That hesitation might cost me.
Time passed. I wasn’t sure how much.
I moved on autopilot. Fearful and paranoid, I ran and ran, sustaining my pace with an innate sense of direction. Somehow, I didn’t run into a tree or—God forbid—off a cliff. My muscles were screaming.
The terrain blurred past as I continued on as if the hounds of hell were nipping at my feet. In the dark, the trees loomed over me. An eerie presence at night, now comforting, as if I were being shielded in the cover of their bare branches. Everything was dead and dark here. The trees had no leaves or greenery. There was no grass, only dirt and rock. Life had been sucked out of this place.
Inconvenienced by my rebellion, would they kill me on the spot? Or would they take me back and make me plead for death? I shuddered, hardening my resolve to keep going. To hurry. For there was one solid conclusion in what would happen if they took me back.
I wouldn’t make it out a second time.
I scrambled for a plan, mind racing at a pace rivaling my feet. Find shelter and food. Somewhere to lay low and recoup. Resentment that burned like acid had me surging forward with renewed fervor. Laying low was impossible, and not because of the current state of my clothes and matted hair that hid my natural blonde coloring. What kept me from being considered invisible, from blending in, wasn’t removable. Etched into my skin was a sour reminder of who and what would find me if I stopped running. If I was caught.
Flames steadily encroached, penetrating my lungs and making it hard to breathe. The fire spread to my legs as I pushed on. White clouds ghosted past as I gasped for air. The night air had grown chilly, my sweat-soaked gown worsening the conditions tenfold.
Out of nowhere, a blast of wind slammed me in the face, momentarily blinding me. I gasped in shock and then again in fear, for when I opened my eyes, I found myself surrounded, but not by pursuers. Gusts of air encircled me, and I shrieked as my feet left the ground. I tried grabbing onto some sort of anchor, a stray root or branch, but what I could only describe as a typhoon of wind enveloped me, leaving me helpless to its tempestuous force. Absolutely terrified now, I clutched my limbs to my torso and covered my head.
Then, as abruptly as it had come, it was gone. I yelped, my back smacking the forest floor. I lay there, stunned, dragging in air like a banked fish.
Grass cushioned my forearms and hands, replacing the barren ground of sticks and dirt. Lush greenery covered almost every inch of space available, the rich color of plants boasting the bountiful nutrients provided to them. Birds flitted about, chirping happily and singing to anyone who would listen. The aura of this place was so…light. Sunlight peeking over the curtains of the mountains contrasted heavily to the eternal darkness I had escaped from.
Steeling myself, I stood up on shaky legs. I examined the surrounding luscious oaks, tall pines, and rich flora for hints of danger, like say, sudden typhoons. My concerns were left graciously unfulfilled. Seeing no other option but to adapt to the turn of events, I warily trekked forward into the unknown.
The pulsing urgency to run, to move, had dissipated. The tension tightening my shoulders lessened the further I traveled. Wherever this was, they weren’t. The hairs on the back of my neck, previously ramrod straight, steadily flattened. More than once, I staggered. Invisible metal chains dragged behind me as I pressed on. My lungs were able to catch a break at this ambling pace, but my legs? They were giving out, and I wasn’t far from giving in. The luscious forest floor was increasing in its appeal as a makeshift bed.
Still, an inexplicable sensation prevented that from occurring. It drew me forward, a magnetized pull from deep inside my gut. Tugging at me when I paused for too long, the energy to rebel nonexistent. The charged sensation willed me to persevere. To blindly follow.
Eventually, the tree line receded. A beautiful two-story wood house came into view, standing in the center of a large clearing. The porch lights were off, along with the indoor ones. It appeared empty, but too well-kept to be abandoned. Maybe it was a vacation home for a rich family with three kids and a St. Bernard. My legs were starting to give out as the adrenaline rush abandoned me. My feet dragged as I wobbled closer. Grass caressed my shins as the sun languidly rose higher into the sky.
In the removal of shadow, in the dawning of light, the house was like a beacon. I was the puppet, and the house was the puppet master. That, or whatever awaited inside.
It was unsettling how quiet it had gotten. The song of birds gone, the rustle of leaves silent, as if holding their breath. Waiting. Watching.
I reached a wide set of stairs leading up to two massive double doors. Legs shaking, my knees knocked together. Halfway up, my legs decided they’d had enough. My knees cracked on the wood stairs, splintering the skin. I cried in silent frustration. On my hands and knees, I crawled the rest of the way, cursing whoever deemed it necessary to design houses with more than a single story.
Somehow, I managed to drag myself up to the thick, oak doors. Beyond it lie what had called me here. I stretched a hand up, hovering over the gold handle. A tear fell as I shut my eyes. I prayed. Prayed that the door was unlocked. God, let there be no one inside. I had nothing left in me to run or defend myself. I had to open the door. Holding my breath, I lowered my hand, pressing down against the cold metal handle.
Someone above must have been listening, granting me mercy. The door creaked open.
The strangest sensation hit me. One of coming home after a long time away. The intensity rocked me, hitting my chest and squeezing it tight. A relieved sob left me, along with my breath.
Bonelessly I fell to the floor. Sleep finding me.
Sunlight crept into my vision. I was being pulled out of the comforting relief of sleep. I groaned, covering my eyes with an arm. Then groaned again for a different reason.
What did they do to me this time? It felt like I had carried a bag of bricks across the country. Twice. My body was battered. I was stiff. My joints ached. I shifted to test for any blatant signs of injury. Pangs came from my feet and knees, but otherwise, the only other pain was the soreness of my muscles. Hushed sounds reached me from nearby. My head began to pound, and as the sounds continued, my ears started to ring. The simple noise triggered something in my memory.
That’s when I remembered the screams.
Remaining where I was, I listened for what woke me. Fear slammed into me. Fear at what I heard—the sound of urgent whispers nearby. Unmistakably deep and throaty in pitch.
Male.
I scrambled upwards on all fours, wincing at the cries and pangs of my hurting body. I ignored the figures that flinched back at my abrupt movement. I had passed out in the entryway, with the door still hanging open. Without sparing another glance at the figures, I rushed outside on aching limbs.
“Wait!” A deep voice hollered.
I had been foolish, passing out and leaving myself vulnerable. No matter how exhausted I’d been. If they didn’t have me arrested for breaking and entering, then I’d be taken to the hospital or the police station based on my outward appearance alone. Either one would end up with questions and nosy reporters, which I couldn’t afford.
Nothing would stop them from retrieving me. A human would be a tasty snack in their way. A badge and a gun were of little consequence to them. I wanted to prevent the meaningless loss of lives—and whoever was chasing me now would be no match for what was coming.
I refused to go back.
I crashed back out through the open door. I didn’t bother with the stairs, throwing myself over the railing. I rolled forward until I came to stand on two feet.
“Holy crap.” Another voice said somewhere behind me.
I didn’t bother to hear what else was said. I bolted. All my focus on the tree line in front of me. Please don’t follow, please don’t follow, please don’t follow. When I heard the sounds of feet pounding closer, I urged my heavy limbs faster with a whimper on my lips. Entering the edge of the forest, I dodged trees and rocks the size of minivans. The effort strenuous on my sore limbs. My heart raced in fear with the strain of pursuit. I desperately hoped it was equally as challenging for my new pursuers to follow. Yet, the sounds of their footsteps remained persistent.
A loud roaring found my ears, the sound drawing closer ahead as I raced forward. A cluster of trees came into view, a clear blue sky lying behind them. Freedom, it said. Freedom is here.
“Stop!” A voice yelled, “That drops off to the river!”
My breath seized. The sound of rushing water roared louder and louder, consuming me.
“I’m sorry,” I whispered to the sky. Sorry for not being strong enough. Fast enough. For wasting your sacrifice. For having to resort to this.
I tilted my head upwards to embrace the warmth of the sun on my face one last time. Sucking in a ragged breath, I clenched my hands and pulsed my arms faster.
“Kade, grab her!”
They wouldn’t be quick enough.
It was a bittersweet feeling. I wouldn’t have to fear for my life. Looking over my shoulder and covering up my footsteps in order to hide my presence. But that bubble of relief was popped by the knowledge that I would never see my parents again. I would never bathe in the sun’s warmth or see my parents’ smiles. I would never get a chance to live again. But it would be better than fighting to survive in confinement. It had to be. Going back would drown what was left of my soul in acid. I was not going to die by their hands. I would not let them take that unique piece of myself that made me—me. They would not receive the pleasure of ripping my body and soul apart any longer.
Rocks jabbed my bare feet, but I didn’t care. The stabs of pain would be the last. I reveled in that fact as I ate up the last few strides to the edge.
“Nooo!” A chorus of voices roared.
I jumped.
Blue sky and sunshine welcomed me into its motherly embrace—and didn’t quite let me go. I didn't fall, plunging to my death in the river below as gravity intended.
Something held me suspended above the river, smoothing away unshed tears as I curled into myself. Like a doll, I remained helpless as a brief touch of light caressed my cheeks with whispers carried in the wind. Words that I could make out clearly past the angry roaring of the river below. A calm strength spoke to me.
It is not your time, child of mine.
The voice was unhindered by the roaring of the river and the gusts of wind rushing by. Clear as a bell and as unwavering as the rising sun. He spoke. Gentle, yet firm. He told me of what was to come. Warning me of the evil that did not discriminate. That would take down any in its path of greed and destruction. How I would need these very strangers I ran from at my side to succeed. His words struck a chord within me. My mission to come was one of trial and pain. Weariness dragged my consciousness, pulling at me like a determined child. Would I find no rest?
Vaguely I thought how weird it was to be having hallucinations as I fell to my inevitable demise. But who was I to judge? I was about to die.
A distant flapping of wings beating reached my ears, and then I was released from the suspended embrace mid-fall. All at once the angry roar of water and the whipping of air returned. I was dropping. I shut my eyes as the raging water below rushed to meet me.
I was free.
Sitting on the porch at home, I snuggle into a fuzzy blanket. A cup of hot chocolate warming my hands.
A soft, feminine laugh echoes through the open window beside me. A male voice responds in turn with a bellowing laugh, and I snicker quietly into my cup.
The screen door creaks open, my mother stepping out. Wavy brown hair falls to her shoulders, gentleness in her caramel eyes as she looks at me.
“Okay, honey. We’re going to head out for dinner.”
“Wish me luck, sweetie,” my father stage-whispers to me. “I heard she’s an expensive date.” My mom smacks his chest, her eyes twinkling. Her hand rests on my father’s chest, his arms encircling her waist.
I roll my eyes playfully at their shenanigans.
“Have fun!” I holler as they stroll to my dad’s truck. “And be back by midnight or you’re both on dish duty for a month.”
“Ok, Mom!” They yell back past their laughter.
Shaking my head, I settle back down into the cushions, watching their car leave until the red taillights are no longer visible. I take another sip of my drink, feeling the chocolatey goodness warm its way down to my stomach. Resting my head back on the back of the porch swing, I revel in the cool breeze and peaceful night. Eyes drifting shut.
I wish I would have known what would happen once I opened my eyes. If I had, I would have never fallen asleep. I would have made my parents bring me along with them. I would have done something, anything different.

Suzanne finds a dead body on a ski slope at a Lake Tahoe resort. There seem to be a lot of people in California and Nevada who wanted to see the victim dead. Which one killed him? From the lush forests, well-groomed ski slopes, and scenic grandeur of the Tahoe wilderness to the glitzy casinos of Reno and the sumptuous excesses of the Hollywood party scene, Roger follows a twisted trail of treachery to a killer who just might have committed the perfect murder. This suspenseful thriller, which can be enjoyed as a standalone novel, is available in e-book or paperback formats.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I know the setting well as we live an hour's drive from Lake Tahoe. I wanted to use this very special place as a backdrop for a thriller. All of my books are designed to be read as standalone mysteries, but the series features recurring characters who deserved a good vacation. And I wanted to do an updated contemporary treatment of the classic noir California private eye novel as a series entry.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Most of my characters are not new, but are veterans of previous books in the series. Roger and Suzanne, my main detectives, are in all of the books. The other people in the book have characteristics borrowed from real individuals I know or have worked with, and are adapted as needed for their roles in the story. A few of the minor characters just popped into my head as I went along, so we might say they introduced themselves to the story as needed.
Book Sample
In the spring the top layers of snow on the well-groomed and well-marked ski slopes were machine made, covering the many times melted and refrozen natural snow known affectionately to the locals and visiting skiers as “Sierra Cement”. To each side of the groomed slope were “out of bounds” areas where the snowpack was irregular, with occasional rocks, trees, and bushes marring the natural snowpack and creating a safety hazard. Advanced skiers often liked to ski on real snow in these out of bounds areas, rather than the manmade variety on the groomed slopes, in areas where the natural snowpack out of bounds was adequate to cover all of the obstacles.
About a third of the way down the carefully groomed slope they were skiing on, Shasta spotted a likely looking stretch of real snow that had been protected from melting by the shade cast by a thick stand of pine trees further beyond the out of bounds markers. She turned gracefully to the right heading in the general direction of the clump of trees beyond the out of bounds marker, calling out to Suzanne to follow. They both slowed down to enjoy the feeling of real powder snow under their skis until they got a good look at what was waiting for them in the out of bounds area further down the slope.
As they neared the trees, well beyond the groomed slope all of the other skiers had descended, Suzanne saw what appeared to be a downed skier, half-buried in the snow lying motionless. From the extensive damage to the back of his head, it was obvious the victim was dead. The two women pulled up several feet from the downed skier, not wanting to disturb what might be a crime scene.
Suzanne, like Shasta no stranger to finding dead bodies, pulled out her cell phone and dialed the emergency number she had programmed into the instrument before beginning skiing today. “I want to report a dead body off one of the ski trails at Squaw Valley,” she told the emergency response operator who answered.

In 1991, at the height of the Somali civil war, twelve-year-old Abdi Warsame ran for his life through the streets of Mogadishu.
In a flash, his legs were paralyzed and his cousin killed. With his country literally falling apart around him, Abdi had little hope for recovery.
But, with his faith, his family, and his indomitable spirit, Abdi pursued every available route for a better life.
Because of his father’s tireless endurance to see his son healed, Abdi and his father eventually immigrated to America—a place that would present its own particular challenges but would also provide Abdi a path toward independence and success.

Hope for my rescue faded as quickly as the Mogadishu dusk turned dark. Even the cats in our city knew that anything moving at night was fair game for target practice. It didn’t
matter if you backed Barre’s regime or fought for the revolution. The lack of lights—a glaring sign of our crumbling infrastructure—only highlighted the immense darkness that fell on the city as night descended.
When are all blind, all are enemies.
Minutes earlier, the civil war that had so damaged our country had made its indelible and lifelong mark on me. I didn’t realize it in the moment, but the rocket that killed my
cousin and sent me flying had also paralyzed me.
I was twelve.
Though the revolution would end months later, my personal war had just begun.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
After publishing two books, I struggled with all the advice from self-proclaimed experts who would have indie and small press published authors throwing money at an endless array of must-haves in order to sell books. There had to be a formula for a decent return on our investment of both time and money, so I gathered up years worth of notes and produced this little manifesto.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Even though my book is nonfiction for the most part, I did dream up some amusing dialogue set in a boardroom of a big five publisher somewhere.
Book Sample
Preface
Caveat Emptor: ‘Let the buyer beware.’
The book publishing industry is full of smart people. . . and by “smart”, I mean they know how to fleece excited unsuspecting marks who have completed a manuscript, and even authors who have been published many times.
Fortunately, I am not the trusting sort, and the few risks I have taken in my publishing journeys were not without exhaustive research ahead of time. Did I make the right call on every cheque I wrote? Most definitely not. Did I make the best decision I could with the information I had? I’d like to think so. Did I cut big cheques because I was in a hurry to see my book in print and was not interested in learning new skills? You bet. Was it worth it? Yes, for quality reasons, and no, in terms of a return on investment.
The sentence you just read is the reason I wrote this book. There must be ways to break even or make some money as an author until you write “the book” which has agents, Hollywood producers, and the Big Five publishers throwing around six or seven figure sums when talking about you.
The odds of your first book garnering this type of attention are infinitesimally small so forget about it. Instead, be proud of the fact you wrote a book. Less than 1% of all the people on Earth will. Your accomplishment has already made you special because you finished something which required tremendous persistence. Your willingness to gift it to the world, allowing total－often unqualified－strangers to judge it, shows you are far more brave than the vast majority of those who will be passing sentence on your work.
If this is your first effort, welcome to our very exclusive club. If you’ve published ten books or more, I admire your staying power. Now, let’s see which paths are best for our book(s) while examining what pieces of the puzzle we may have overlooked or become bogged down in.
The $1.99 Author is about playing in and staying in the publishing game without going broke while working our way up an old wooden ladder－ladened with greasy cracked rungs－that no one told you existed. Sounds a little scary, right? I hope you enjoy the climb, and you can do it once you are properly equipped with safety gear and some instruction.

Co-author Mia lived in a guest house and witnessed an urn buried in the yard then agreed to mourner manage the site.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The "dead girl" whose urn was buried was a health guru had a following. The struggling actress was inspired by Mia's journey entering the industry in middle-age. The dysfunctional family and friends are also hybrids of real people. The financial shenanigans and witness protection program comes from decades of experience with such characters and circumstances.
Book Sample
Just after I moved into the guesthouse, they buried a dead girl in my yard. That’s when my life turned upside down and inside out for the second time. The first time was when the doctors rearranged my colon.
I was thrilled to move into the Topanga Canyon guesthouse, a boho-chic area north of Los Angeles. I knew about Topanga from growing up in the nearby San Fernando Valley. Now, as a struggling, mostly unemployed actress, I was living in a shitty, Hollywood neighborhood. Although it was a cute, little bungalow, the environment was killing me—dirty, filthy, hot, too much traffic, zero fresh air, noisy and people living on the edge. Hollywood was no longer glamorous. And parking was a son of a bitch. Also, at age forty-six, I was done stepping over homeless people. Sorry-not-sorry, and I deserved different and better. Even though many times, I had been close to homeless myself.
The universe spoke when I met Lily Jin at a Hollywood acting workshop. She was an exotic-looking and a mixed something. A twenty-two-year-old gal, and a lite-Buddhist, like me. I usually do just enough chanting to keep the demons and gremlins away for the day.
Lily was wearing torn jeans over her long, model-like legs and a midriff exposing a flat, firm tummy. There was not an ounce of fat anywhere.
Oh, to be twenty again and be able to eat, drink, smoke and snort anything. That was several decades behind me. My five-six, lanky frame was getting flabby. Yes, even skinny people can get flabby. I was now in yucky perimenopause, with the last of my overcooked eggs dropping into withering fallopian tubes and heading down through my dried-up hoo-ha. Luckily, at first glance, you can’t tell this is happening unless you’re airport security staff.

The past was glorious. A future disrupted by technology is almost here. But India still awaits its technology-based prosperity. With deep-rooted inequalities, disinformation and corruption running through the veins of the Indian society, it’s hypocritical to pretend that technological solutions can solve all our problems. We are also relatively unprepared for the genuine challenges technology presents. While the benefits of technology are numerous, the challenges have the potential to magnify existent biases, exacerbate social and economic inequality, and break the social fabric.
Reluctant Technophiles: India’s Complicated Relationship with Technology sheds light on what technology can solve and what it can’t. Drawing from the discussions of ancient religious text, quantum computing, Greek mythology and current events, the book tries to find the sweet spot at the intersection of technology, policy and society.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
It is clear that technology is a big part of Indian life today. Paanwallahs and rickshawallahs use cellphone, Aaadhar card, and internet. At the same time, the superstitions and the discriminations continue. Godmen thrive. Modern day India reports lynchings, horrific sexual violence, and riots.
All of this leads one to ask: What is the relationship between technology and the Indian society? How does the uniqueness of Indian society impact attitudes towards technology? How does it impact access to technology? How does it affect technological innovation? Conversely, how is technology uniquely impacting Indian society? What unique opportunities and challenges does technology present in India? What path should India tread if it must rely on technology to become a better, more prosperous nation.

Superstition, mysticism, and religion weave like tangled vines through the tales of Amelia’s newly discovered ancestry. As a widow struggling to sustain herself and her ten-year-old son, Amy’s modest life is tragically disrupted when a dubious lawyer determines her late mother, adopted at birth, was the estranged daughter of the recently deceased Lexington McClary. Although the net worth of the once enormous estate is petty, Amy decides to travel several hundred miles to attend the funeral, in the hope of at least learning a semblance of her newfound ancestry.
After the interment, alone in the secluded rural cemetery, Amy trips and bashes her head against a tombstone, suffering a coma and complications requiring medical care and convalescence for several months. While precariously recovering, Amy is visited in the depth of nights by a mysterious woman who tells stories of Amy’s maternal grandparents, their families, and acquaintances. The tales of her ancestors reach back nearly a century and include their immigration from Ireland to New York City and their migration westward to Indian Territory.
Poignant remembrances of her own life and the altered world into which she regains consciousness portray the unconquerable but elusive human spirit, confronting failure in the wake of triumph, tragedy dispelling romance, madness shaming war of its glory, and the cruelty of murder in defiance of reason.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
From my early childhood, I recall the stories and tales of my family, tales recited from their first-hand experience and those recalled from generations past. My ancestors were mostly of German, Irish, Dutch, and Czech lineage.
Their cultures were rich, colorful, and strongly held. I was impressed by their tales and fond of their knack for story-telling.
Upon retiring from a career in industry, I found the time, without much pre-occupation or distraction, to acquiesce to my dormant urge to write the essence of those stories of my ancestors.

How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
My characters are composite personalities of people I have known, including relatives, friends, officials, and adversaries. I created the characters with mixed traits, admirable or deplorable, which I enhanced, selected, exaggerated, or subdued from those of the people I knew.
I defy any reader, of any age or gender, to not find part of themselves in at least one of my characters.
Book Sample
One morning, Dorine took a blanket under her arm and ventured into the mansion’s chilly study. While the early December day warmed to nearly sixty degrees outdoors, the unheated study was still as cold as the early morning, always lagging several hours’ delay for warmth to creep through the walls toward whichever zone was cooler, indoors or out, depending on the season, the time of day, and the current weather.
Venturing away from the gloomy core of the closed-off house and entering any of the grand exterior rooms was uplifting for Dorine. Sometimes, even when the upstairs was freezing cold, Dorine would go there just to get a change of scenery and a chance to trigger memories of happier times, romantic times, and times when she was a young woman, strong, and optimistic. But she had to be careful where she allowed her memories to take her, for much of her past remained torturous to recall. Thus so, Dorine tried to concentrate on her most enjoyable memories, avoiding those of maddening regret.
The flash of flickering sunlight was sudden with the opening in the overcast clouds. Dorine caught the glimmer from the corner of her eye. Something foreign was approaching Sunnalee’s courtyard. Turning to look straight on, she toyed with the notion of a gallant knight in flashing armor galloping boldly and ostentatiously into her castle courtyard to rescue her, a helpless maiden locked in a dismal prison. She imagined herself so, as much realistically as whimsically. Indeed, she felt helpless and trapped. As soon as Lex left for town that morning, Dorine had taken a soft blanket and her second cup of coffee into the study. She had been there for almost two hours, dozing, thinking, remembering, and crying, before the sun broke out of clouds and glistened through the huge window with blinding brilliance. It seemed an omen, an act of God, something to cheer her. It was in that burst of light that the shiny, bodacious red car charged into the courtyard. The real object was no less thrilling than her first perception and
imagery; it appeared to be a fanciful knight mounted on his steed, both shrouded in shiny red armor. Someone bold and flamboyant had come to visit the McClary’s and to bring cheer, perhaps wealth—or anything would do—to break this depressing mood, she thought, half-flippantly and half-cynically. Dorine was certain, whoever the visitor, this was an event that would catapult her out of her doldrums
and back into meaningful life. She was at the edge of the precipice separating mortal life from heaven’s eternity on the other side, with hell’s doom in the depths below. Dorine felt that something had to happen to her at this precipitous point in her life, and this flash of color and light in the midst of a dull gray winter was surely the harbinger.

We are social creatures who work well together. Without cooperation and a great social structure we wouldn’t be where we are today. It only makes sense then that our brains have some positive rewards systems built in for social connection and interaction. In other words, hanging out with other people and working together makes up happy.
Like it or not, we are social creatures who crave human connections. It is hardwired into our brains because we need to work together to ensure the survival of our species. We have to work together to make this happen. It only makes sense then that forming and maintaining those connections has an internal reward built in. On the flip side, when we spent too much time isolated and alone we start to feel sad, depressed and if that isolation lasts too long, we can go mad.
And it is our interaction with other people more than anything else that brings us happiness. It isn’t the amount of money we make or have stashed away in a bank account. It isn’t the big house, the fancy car, and all the stuff we accumulate over the years. What makes us happy is spending time and sharing experiences with other people.
Of course not every single person makes us happy. We all have to deal with plenty of people we don’t particularly enjoy spending time with. We do it to work together on a project at the office, because they are our neighbors, or because they happen to work out next to us at the gym. Some people we are ambivalent about, others we’d rather not spend time with given the choice. Yet, there are still benefits to these relationships. We work well together, challenge each other and become better people, and better contributors to society at large when we collaborate. This has its own rewards.
When we are with people we love and whose company we enjoy on the other hand, we get a lot of joy, satisfaction, and happiness out of those interactions. We have evolved into beings who crave the mental, social, and physical connections. There’s a reason almost everyone appreciates a heart-felt hug.
Spending time with people who love and encourage us, and those that challenge us, and make us push harder, help us grow as human beings. We get better when we have cheerleaders and mentors around us. There’s a reason people say that you are or will become the average of the five people you spent the most time around. Pick those around you wisely if you want to grow as a person and if your goal is happiness, spend as much time as you can with happy, positive people.
Above all, make sure you nurture those important close relationships with family and friends. Those connections will help boost your happiness and make you feel like you’re part of something bigger that gives meaning to your life.
About Featured Book: The Winding by Avi Datta
Would you alter reality for love?
Morally complex, orphan, and absolute genius Vincent Abajian is hellbent to uncover all he can on Artificial Intelligence. His relentless pursuit distracts him from a traumatic childhood loss—his childhood best friend Akane was engulfed in a time-turbulence, a random rift in space and time.
But when a beautiful, temperamental, post-doctoral scientist, Emika Amari, joins his Center, everything changes. Vincent is convinced that Akane is inside the irresistible Emika. As they begin a life together, Vincent’s past and his connection with a time turbulence survivor challenge everything they’ve created and push them into a spiral of politics and conspiracy. Vincent’s silence to protect Emika threatens to tear them apart. Unknowingly, Emika is torn between what she wants and what Akane wants from her. With his newfound power, Vincent struggles with whether or not he should create another time-turbulence to free Emika from the grasp of Akane once and for all. But will tinkering with time be more destructive than anything he has ever encountered before?

Warning: this book cannot make you rich.
Probably not the blurb you expected for a book about making money online, was it?
But here’s the reality: there is no book on earth that can give you the Golden Ticket. The idea that you can print money from a magical money vending machine (“put $1 in, you’ll get $4 out!”) is a lie. It is spread by internet marketing gurus who have a vested interest in your belief in it. More belief in the lie = more seats sold in their “masterclass.”
So, what’s the truth?
You need to learn the fundamentals. In How to Start and Grow an E-Commerce Business, we’ll teach you the time-tested principles of entrepreneurship and digital marketing. We’ll show you the framework that thousands have used to create brilliant businesses, since long before the dot com boom.
But this book cannot make you rich. It’s up to you to find it within yourself to apply the fundamentals to the real world. We’ll teach you the steps, point you towards the right resources, and encourage you to take action. However, at the end of the day, the task of building a great business lies on one person’s shoulders: yours.
If I said anything else, I’d just be spreading the lie.

It all started from a never-ending stream of questions that Sofiya, now 16, brought to her mom, Maria:
How to be confident?
Who am I?
Should I follow my calling or chase money?
How can I be a good friend?
How can I manage my time? What is happiness?
Maria tried to answer them all, but keeping in mind the separation period, she was also looking for an independent source that could be helpful for teenager like her daughter. She was trying to find something wise, positive, mentor-like, easy to read and understand. It did not exist.
Coincidentally, Maria was an Editor-in-Chief of a Russian non-fiction publishing house and a former management consultant, so she read a lot.
It gave her the idea and confidence to create this source from scratch — a simple, visually attractive, very concrete, laconic book with short text blocks about the most essential life skills that modern teenagers can grasp without being bored.

Fear is one of the primary concerns that become a barrier on the way of success and happiness. What could you achieve on the off chance that you had no fear? Would you get that advancement or raise your current situation, or start a business you needed to? Would you work on your current relationship or at least outfit the nerve to converse with that somebody extraordinary?
The vast majority’s explanation isn’t adequate if they’d prefer little to do with capacity and much to do with fear. Let’s apply the Language of Mind to Eliminate Fear, trauma, grief, or anxiety.
It has been a great experience to deal with individuals with several mental issues from different social categories. Though every condition was different, one common problem was almost always there. Some fear!
I found if people could overcome their fear, they would instantly have felt better. So, it has always been my priority to help people get rid of their fear or phobias.
This book is an effort from my side to allow individuals to get rid of their fear. Using the NLP technique explained here, one can eliminate their fear instantly. ‘Eliminate Fear Instantly’ is a self-help book. This book is for everyone who wants to remove fear from themselves. This technique not only removes but eliminates fear. Some can get rid of their fear with just one go. Some require 5 to 6 goes. This technique indeed eliminates fear. It works for severe fear too.
NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming. It provides us with essential tools to communicate with our subconscious mind.
When you try to communicate with someone who speaks a distinct language and does not realize yours, it is not unusual that you ask for something, and he gives you another. It often happens in a restaurant in a foreign country. We order sandwiches, and the server serves us a burger.
The relationship we have with our subconscious mind is precisely the same. We think of something, and our subconscious takes it another way. You order your subconscious for a healthy relationship with your friend, and the result may appear in a reverse way. It is because the translation was not correct. Several NLP techniques become the translator for us. NLP translates our conscious thought and conveys the correct meaning to our subconscious mind. It also teaches us the language of our subconscious mind.
Fear can be real or imaginary. For example, the dog is going to bite me. The dog may bite you, or you may imagine a dog bite. Thus, you may develop a fear and stores it in your memory. We sense danger, and we feel afraid. In most cases, fear develops in an instant and can be eliminated as quickly.

Despite his long list of accomplishments, he wants to add another check to the impressive list. With encouragements from her best friend and her mom, Claire decides to enter the contest as a stepping stone to ease her introversion. It would be her first time to enter the competition and if she wins, it is an excellent addition to her portfolio for acceptance into the best art schools in the country.

When my daughters were in middle school, they seemed to come home every day with the most current “drama” in school. I asked myself how can these barely experienced humans have so many “to die for” worthy crisis? Seriously, it was “OMG! My life is so over” four times a week. With that, I decided to dive into the mind of a teenager which can be very scary for any parent. This book is about a teenage girl surviving high school in her own way despite being a target of the most popular people in school. She learns her abilities to overcome difficult situations are more than she expects with the support of her friends and family. Even though she is the recipient of petty and spiteful actions, she remains kind to everyone. I hope this book, along with others to follow, will bring some humor and compassion to the daily life of a teenager. It was fun and exciting for me to piece together the story and characters who brought this book into fruition. Enjoy!
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
When I was developing my lead character, my eldest daughter came to mind, so I centered my thoughts on her personality and interaction with other people.
Book Sample
The happy days ended when Tommy lost his dad to cancer. He passed about six years ago and it was quite heartbreaking to see him after his dad died. Claire was at a loss trying to figure out how to make him happy again; he seemed lost and alone. After his father’s passing, Tommy closed himself off from everyone – even her. Making the daily trips to his house several times a week and inquiring of his welfare was pointless. Claire was disappointed each time but she did not give up and continued her visits. As usual, a relative sent her home telling her Tommy was too busy or not available. She even tried to call him and he was not interested in talking or once again too busy. After months of frustrations and letdowns, giving up was now the best option. The once close friends grew apart. As the years went by, Claire continued with her life and Tommy became the most popular person in school. If only…
CRASH!
She was shocked back into reality when she fell to the ground and her glasses were knocked from her nose and her backpack hit the concrete with a thump.
“So sorry, my fault!” She said as she hastily gathered her things off the floor.
Claire wanted to kick herself. There was nothing more embarrassing than colliding with somebody due to day dreaming. Why even think about such nonsense? She swung her backpack over her shoulder and squinted at the person in front of her as she strained her eyes once more. Maybe the lack of sleep last night was affecting her eyesight. She rubbed her eyes to be certain what she was seeing was real. Her mouth unwillingly dropped open. WOW. Not a foot away from her was the very person forever stamped in her mind. He was dressed in a red polo neatly tucked into his dark blue jeans. His towering height was evident when she saw his striking eyes looking down, staring at her. Tommy Connor had the entire school population at his feet. He was student president, member of the honor society and member of the art and community service clubs. Not only did he possess the brains; he also had the brawns. With his six-foot muscular frame, he joined the football (as of course, the quarterback), basketball and track team for the school. His dark blond hair, chiseled masculine face, and dreamy blue eyes had girls speechlessly staring when he walked the halls. Most of the girls swooned when he was near; transfixed by his presence and to be included within his group was the ultimate success.
Students looked to him to determine their status in school as his clan was at the top tier. The exclusive premiere level involved ten people from the student body; usually, cheerleaders or star athletes had achieved this ranking. Getting the occasional five-minute hallway chatter with him was considered the middle tier. The majority of the school population was included within this pack, but there were ways to upgrade to a higher tier if a student followed the snooty and superficial behavior usually exhibited in the top tier. Of course they would need to be accepted by peers of the top level, which was difficult to obtain (Savannah usually made sure of it). Hence, upgrading was not achievable for the middle-class tier.
The bottom tier was the passing “hello” or “see ya” in the hallways. These students were the extreme introverts, new students or the “don’t care” kids. Claire was on top of this list because she did not care and did not like being around too many people. She shook her head, not understanding the drama surrounding him. Were people that superficial and shallow? She thought the attention that followed Tommy was ridiculous.
“Not a problem,” he answered with a slight smile as he handed her glasses to her.
Like a dummy, Claire stood silently, speechless. She cleared her throat and straightened her shoulders. He furrowed his brows, probably wondering why she was being such a dweeb with her rolling eyes and silent treatment. Could it get any more awkward? Mortification and shame slowly consumed the core of her existence; the heat of the incident slowing traveled within her. She could feel her face burning with embarrassment. Claire’s mind went blank and the situation was extremely strange; she was lost on how to react as she just rushed past him.

Hunted by exterminators and sickened by radiation, young strays Ony and Belka struggle to make sense of an unprecedented nuclear disaster.
In this hauntingly original exploration of mankind’s carelessness, the pair must decide if they can trust the creatures who’ve caused them so much harm – and whether the trauma of their past will define their future.
‘The Dogs of Chernobyl’ is the first book in the ‘Animal Eyes’ series: Man-made disasters as seen by nature’s most defenceless victims.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The idea to write a novel from the perspective of stray dogs came about way back in 2011 while I was working as a teacher in Bangkok. It’s a city where stray dogs can be found in packs all over the place and they charmed their way into my memories.
As for Chernobyl… I’ve worked in several former Soviet capitals, spent time exploring Bulgaria and Russia, travelled the Trans-Mongolian/Trans-Siberian railway and have enjoyed several trips to China. This all provided insights into the Communist world and gave me a lot of experience to draw on when creating the world of stray dogs Ony and Belka.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
After Bangkok, I moved to Bucharest to teach and the city had a major issue with stray dogs. The Romanian strays were much harder to befriend than their Thai counterparts and this is where the inspiration for Ony, the main character of ‘The Dogs of Chernobyl’, came from.
Book Sample
'The Dogs of Chernobyl'
Scene 1 of Chapter 1: Hurt Dogs
Soviet Ukraine
April, 1986
Now wasn’t the time for pain.
On the crest of a riverbank, a lone stray stood calculating his next move. His wounded flank heaved in and out, but his pursuers would appear from the pines any moment, and if they caught him, he was dead. Hurting would just have to wait.
Opting for the mudflats, he took a single step down the bank before changing his mind. The murky water waiting below was a barrier. As soon as he grew hungry enough, he’d be driven up again, into their fangs.
The stray threw a glance back at the western horizon, where tall tubes, like strange limbless trees, were towering from the roofs of Plant. How very unappealing that vast site was. The smoke it belched gave it the impression of an enormous sleeping creature, and it thronged with industry at all hours – yet it seemed now to be his best option. Human folk wouldn’t stand for a scrap on their turf, after all.
Turning back on himself, he dashed toward the forest, his paws a blur of white and his bright coat aquiver as spring air rushed across his torso. A dog with fewer smarts would have paid for a mistake like that, but not Ony. His enemies had nothing on him.
Enemies. It jarred as it went through his mind. How had relations with this pack become so very strained? Until today, those boys were little more than troublesome acquaintances. But when Han and Starla cornered him behind the vegetable stands this morning, it was clear a new phase of animosity was about to begin.
‘Meet us by the river later, bony Ony,’ Starla had growled, pleased with his rhyme.
‘We want to discuss your behaviour.’ But when the time came, all they offered was abuse, which wasn’t the same as chat. Acquaintances didn’t hurl threats and insults. Foes did.
As he rushed into the maze of pines, Ony went over their riverside meeting in his mind.
It was Han who’d set the tone. ‘Ever since you gave the butcher that nip, he’s been lashing out at the rest of us. And we don’t appreciate it.’ The half-dozen other ruffians snarled in agreement, emboldening Han. ‘Do you hear us, Ony-all-alone-y? You’re to keep your mangy muzzle away from the butcher’s shop.’
Ony considered the instruction carefully. ‘Who’s telling me? You, or your alpha?’
Feliks, the biggest of the six, stepped forward with a scowl. ‘We’re telling you, Ony.My father’s not concerned with a little cur dog like you.’
‘Why do you keep trying to attack the old man, anyway?’ asked Han. ‘That business happened ages ago.’ But the answer was so obvious Ony gave no reply.
Glancing at his pack mates, Starla let a smirk spread across his face. ‘It’s not like the butcher forced your mother to eat that meat. If she hadn’t been so stupid in the first place, she’d still be alive.’
And for saying that, Ony ended the meeting early by taking Starla’s life.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The Divorced Dad, a blog that resides on Facebook (shameless self-promotion but please like and follow), was conceived and born like an unplanned pregnancy. It was intended as a one-night stand, a simple fling, a means for me to write my feelings and weird ass thoughts down as a form of self-therapy but oh damnit…. the condom split. Now nine months later, still in somewhat disbelief, I am raising and nursing (with my hairy as hell nipples) a semi-popular comedy blog about mental health, dating, parenting and divorce that acts as a platform to have an open conversation about difficult subjects in a humorous and exaggerated means.
Book Sample
So, you have been chatting for a while, been on a few good dates, maybe even shared a few saucy pictures and it seems to be going really, really well but then she asks “Would you like to sleep over?”
“Oh shit!” you utter “She’s going to want to see Dumbo the world’s most depressed mini elephant who is shrouded in thick jungle and has not trumpeted in an incredibly long time.” So thus starts an endless cycle of worrying and self-doubt that builds to a crescendo that culminates at the arrival at their door.
Jessica had these exact worries and concerns as she stood in front of the door of a man she had been talking to for a few months, but little did she know the night was about to take a turn that no one could have possibly expected.
A genuinely, and I emphasise this, nice gentleman asked the young lady of our tale to accompany him as a plus one to his mother’s birthday party and suggested it would make sense for Jessica to crash at his for the evening before the do. They laughed through the entire night eating food and watching movies.
What movies you ask? I didn’t ask you nosey bugger. Let’s make a random assumption that it was an Arnold Schwarzenegger marathon which started with the iconic Sci-fi hit Predator, then was lightened up with the festive comedy Jingle All the Way and climaxing with the hilariously bad Batman and Robin. It was truly a perfect evening full of fun, frolics and Schwarzenegger doing awful ice puns to George Clooney in a bat suit that included bat nips. The evening was so alive that the engrossed couple, so infatuated with one another, did not realise that Jessica’s phone had died.

Thrive in Self-Care to Thrive in Higher Education
Spotlight on Dr. Monica Walker
For higher education educators, maintaining a meaningful, lifelong career requires self-care. This spotlight is on Dr. Monica Walker because she embodies a higher education educator who thrives professionally and personally through self-care.
Dr. Walker has 20 years of experience in higher education, significantly marked with her leadership roles and accomplishments in student success. Monica Walker, EdD, is the Dean of Developmental Education and Special Academic Programs at the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) in Maryland. She serves as the chief advisor in the administration of developmental education, academic pathways, library services, honors program, learning communities, academic development, culturally responsive teaching, high school collaborations, academic support, and tutoring. Prior to this appointment, she held posts as department chair and associate professor of English and coordinator for developmental writing and learning communities at CCBC and as an English instructor and assistant to the vice president for learning at Howard Community College and Anne Arundel Community College, respectively.
Dr. Walker has been honored by the League for Innovation in the Community College and the North American Council for Staff, Program, and Organizational Development. She is passionate in her commitment to the community college mission and the completion agenda. She holds a Bachelor of Science from James Madison University, a Master of Public Administration from the University of Baltimore, and a Doctorate of Education in Community College Leadership from Morgan State University.
Dr. Walker provided some tips on managing a successful higher education career through managing self-care. “The expectations and demands are growing, and leaders are expected to assume more responsibilities in their various roles,” Dr. Walker said. Therefore, self-care is vitally important to meet the growing expectations and de- mands of a career in higher education.
First, she stressed not focusing on balance and perfection, for in her view, they are unrealistic. Instead, Dr. Walker focuses on alignment and excellence with a purpose in mind. Her purpose is connected to her personal values and mission, and she endeavors to help others to achieve their goals and best quality of life, especially through higher education. To stay true to her purpose, anything that is not in alignment with her purpose or serves as a distraction “comes off the table,” Dr. Walker said. Also, it is “okay to say no” to things that are outside the alignment or are not purposeful.
Second, Dr. Walker strives to do her best and focus on excellence. She is realistic that there may be mistakes along the way; however, as she pointed out, “you learn from the mistakes, and it is part of the process.” Another tip that Dr. Walker provided is the need to “check in with our- selves.” One way that she checks in with herself is making sure that she is healthy in body, mind, and spirit. Dr. Walker stays healthy physically by being active through daily exercises such as walking, aerobics, or Pilates. Staying active helps to minimum her stressors and, at the same time, builds a foundation for a healthy lifestyle.
For the next tip, Dr. Walker reinforced the need to get a life beyond focusing primarily on careers. For example, Dr. Walker has added fulfillment to her life by being active in her community. She enjoys giving back and likes to contribute to the community through volunteer service. She believes that by giving back and helping others, she does not take herself too seriously, and it helps to make a positive difference in the community.
Last, as an essential component of self-care and well-being, she supports the need to make sure that relationships are strong. Dr. Walker believes that it is imperative to find the time to reach out to loved ones and to show appreciation for them. One way that she maintains a strong relationship with a loved one and, at the same time, gives back to the community is through volunteering at her daughter’s elementary school.
The self-care tips provided by Dr. Walker are applicable to anyone in higher education as well as transferable to any occupation. Her wealth of knowledge has been gleaned from years of personal and professional experience. As Dr. Walker demonstrates, self-care is necessary to achieve successful, meaningful, lifelong service in higher education

I wondered one day what my version of a fantasy world like Oz, Narnia, or Wonderland would be like and I was suddenly filled with ideas. This is the result. The story will continue in a series. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Some of my characters are drawn from life, either friends I've known or public figures. Others just sprang to life in my head. I've enjoyed giving them all their own voice.
Book Sample
Billy soon ran out of tunnel, er rather hallway, and entered a room about twice the size of the living room in his and his mom’s small house. Purple tiles still lined the floor and wood paneling the walls. There was a lopsided vaguely trapezoidal shaped door on the far side of the room. Two crooked looking sofas and two armchairs of grey leather or horribly patterned fabric lining the walls, all scaled down for people of a rather small stature. He walked nearer to a sofa that had a dotted fabric on it only to realize that the small dots were in fact insects. The bugs on one of the cushions scrambled out of the way, giving him room to sit down, but not before spelling out ‘sit here please’ in all caps and then crawling off to the side, still in formation, like a marching band halftime show. He didn’t sit down. As he backed away from the sofa, he could have sworn he heard a thousand tiny sighs of disappointment coming from it.
Between each of the chairs and sofas was an end table of some sort, each supporting some of the ugliest lamps Billy had ever seen. The tables themselves had been crafted with all the loving care of a nearsighted carpenter who didn’t own a tape measure, a square, or a level, and had never held a hammer in his life, and who was working with his feet instead of his hands. In the center of the room was a dining table with four mismatched chairs. On the table was a pitcher full of water and four cups, none of which was perfectly round. There wasn’t a single right angle, level surface, or straight line in the whole room.
The water reminded Billy he was thirsty. As he looked closer to the pitcher, he noticed little fish swimming around inside. Weird looking fish that were subject to the same laws of dimension and proportion that affected the rest of the room. As he looked closely at the fish, one of them took notice of him, swam up to the glass and said, “what?” in a voice both too deep for such a tiny fish and muted like you would imagine someone speaking underwater would sound like. He also sounded a bit irritated.
“Nothing,” he replied, backing away. He pulled his backpack off his shoulders and grabbed his own water bottle. He froze before opening it when the door opened and in walked the strangest creature Billy had ever seen. It didn’t see him though, it was staring at the floor as it walked in, mumbling to itself. Its mumbles were interspersed with strange whistling and popping sounds.
“Hello,” Billy said, announcing his presence, startling the creature badly.
“Oh my! Oh my,” it said, waving its arms around and jumping back. “You scared me half to death.”
Billy studied the creature while he, (it sounded male Billy decided), calmed himself down. He was about three and a half feet tall and was just as unsymmetrical as everything else in this strange place. He had ten fingers at least, six on one hand, four on the other. One of his lower teeth was a fang that stuck out over his top lip and was so long that when his mouth was closed the tooth in question rested perfectly, deep within his left nostril. This is what caused the whistling sound every time he exhaled with his mouth closed. The popping sound was that same fang overcoming suction every time it left his nostril when he opened his mouth. He had dark curly hair on the right side of his head and straight red hair on the left. His eyes were different in size and color. Every time they fell on Billy, the creature winced and turned away. The clothes he wore were almost normal all things considered, a bright red, button down short sleeve shirt with what looked like yellow two-headed lizards on it and brown slacks with rough looking, different sized, boots on his feet. Billy was pretty sure the lizards were moving around a little.
Presently it said, “(Pop) I assume you came from the…uh…Outside? (whistle)” It met his eyes again and quickly looked away and grimaced, although that may have just been his normal expression.
“What do you mean by Outside?” Billy said, confused. “I came down the tunnel at the end of that hallway he said turning toward the end of the room he had come from. The arch over the hallway opening had a sign above that read “The Gallery” in crooked uneven lettering.
“(Pop) I know that. I live here. You came through the entrance from the Outside,” the creature said, a tad impatient. Like this should be obvious, which Billy supposed it might be in a place like this. “(Pop) They told me when I bought this house that this might happen, (whistle pop) but that it was very unlikely,” he added, more to himself.
“Well, I’m here,” Billy said. “If you could just tell me where here is, I’ll be happy to return to the…uh Outside and get out your house.”
“(Pop) That would be great actually,” the creature answered. (Whistle pop) “You’re quite ugly and hard to look at to be honest. But you can’t go back that way. As I said, it’s an entrance. To go back you need an exit.” Again, his tone was that of a parent explaining something obvious to a particularly dense child.
“What do mean I’m ugly?” Billy said. “And why can’t I leave through the way I came in? It’s a tunnel, isn’t it?”
“(Pop) Sorry. I didn’t mean to be rude, but your face is rather…. symmetrical.” At this, he shuddered as though the thought repulsed him immensely. “And as I said, it’s an entrance, not a tunnel. One is one-way and the other is not. Is that not how things work in the Outside? Go look for yourself if you don’t believe me. (whistle)”

As a longtime fan of novellas, I decided to write one of my own for the holiday romance genre. For many, the holidays kick off in November and launch a solid two months of nonstop places to go and things to do. As enjoyable and exciting as the events are, I still crave a few minutes to wind down with a book. For me, submerging myself in a full-length novel isn't in the cards during the holiday season. Novellas are the perfect solution. I hope that Tinsel and Tea Cakes fills the need for other avid readers looking for a short, sweet dose of fun reading.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Scarlett has not been lucky in the romance department. She's quick to succumb to the initial feelings of excitement and rush into relationships that don't go the distance. Her vow to take a break and be more selective in the future is tested when she bumps into a vacation fling. Wes is rebuilding a life with his young daughter after divorce and hasn't quite figured out how to share many truths. Clarice is a supporting character. Stepmom to Scarlett, she keeps everyone on their toes.

Lights flashed in the side view mirror. Another car parked behind them, but snow blocked all visibility through the back window. Boots crunching through snow announced the hulking figure before he appeared at the door. A scarf and hat covered most of the stranger’s face, and only a pair of emerald-green eyes peered in.
Scarlett inched down the window a crack. The possibility of this person being a deranged lunatic couldn’t be overlooked.
“Scarlett?” The man stepped back and tugged down the scarf.
She knew that face and opened her mouth to speak but couldn’t find a word. This day just kept getting better. Those eyes should have been the first clue, but never in her wildest dreams did she expect to see him again. The blur of memories racing through her mind dropped a throat-constricting concoction of confusion, hurt, and vile hope on her chest. “Wes.”
“What are you doing here? Aren’t you a little far from home?” A line formed between his eyebrows.
Clarice leaned forward to get a better glimpse of their potential knight in shining armor.
“More than a little.” Coherent thoughts took shape in the form of questions and accusations. Every fiber in her being burned at the thought of asking him for help, but alternative options were few and far between. Who knew how long before roadside assistance arrived? Fine, maybe he’d get her out of this mess, but making small talk didn’t need to factor into the exchange.

A Heaven of Their Choosing is a collection of thirteen stories that explore the complexities and messiness of faith, marriage, illness, and grief. A widow plans her husband’s funeral feeling as much resentment towards him as grief. A mother believes her young son has the DNA of a long-dead ex-boyfriend. A woman becomes obsessed with a drifter who stands in the same spot every day in her neighborhood. A couple grieving a series of miscarriages set out to adopt in China, only to get pregnant again. These are stories of ordinary people finding the extraordinary in their lives and allowing themselves to be hopeful.

Each of these stories developed around an incident, image, or character that lodged in my mind. I like to write about ordinary people who find the extraordinary in their lives. I also have lived through two bouts of cancer and there's always a current of fear — sometimes loud, sometimes quiet but always present — that I wanted to explore.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I try to be very observant and I'm fascinated by people. In fact, I often myself staring and it's a wonder I haven't gotten into more trouble because of that. Sometimes I create a life for the person, as in my story "Acts of Kindness" where a woman becomes obsessed with a man who stands outside his building all day. There was such a man — someone I saw everyday standing outside — and I couldn't get him out of my mind, so I wrote about that.

From the story "Seamus"
Deidre always wanted a redheaded baby, but when Seamus was born, his hair obviously orange even though it was darkened and plastered to his head with placental fluid, Deidre’s first response was panic.
Her eyes darted to Phillip, her brown-haired husband. His eyes moved from the baby to her. She was guilty and caught. The baby’s hair was not hers and not Phillip’s. Though Irish, she was not aware of any redheads in her family. Phillip’s Italian family had none, either. It was her first love Sean’s lush, auburn hair.
Then she did the math, or more precisely, her sense of time began to function properly. Sean had been dead eight years. Deidre and he had split up a year before that. She recovered and smiled at Phillip.
A nurse said, “Look at that hair. Where did that come from?”
The other nurse leveled her gaze at her, as if to remind the inquisitive nurse that this was something they all had been instructed in, that it was in the handbook of delivery decorum: Do not mention anything about which parent the baby looks like or doesn’t look like. Be especially discreet if the baby looks like neither parent or appears to be of a race other than the parents.
Phillip said, “Well, you always loved red hair. You must have wished it into your DNA.”
Deidre wondered if it were possible.

Sylvanus, the little brother she helped raise, is an adventure-seeking physician on his way to Western Africa in support of the colonization effort which seeks to establish a safe-haven for former US slaves in the colony of Liberia.
In the decades leading up to the American Civil War, the siblings find themselves on the opposite sides of a monumental political argument as wide and complex as the ocean that separates them. Each must question what it means to fight for freedom and determine whether political and moral convictions are enough to sever the strongest of family bonds.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
When my grandmother passed away, we discovered among her possessions a lawyer cabinet that contained a drawer with a false bottom. Beneath it was a family diary dated 1837 that had been presented to a sister from her brother as he prepared to travel to Liberia as a missionary physician with the Methodist Episcopal church. It contained some correspondences and family records and it pointed to a piece of American and Liberian history that isn't well remembered in the US. That led to a great deal of research and eventually to a story that felt really important to tell.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The book's main characters are Annie and Sylvanus Goheen, historical siblings who were brother and sister to my grandfather's great-grandfather. The book is definitely fiction, but I did my best to reconstruct them as faithfully as I could, relying heavily on their own writings whenever possible. Many other characters that appear in the book are also taken from the actual historical accounts, though in some cases little more than their names could be considered to be nonfiction.

Prologue
August 13, 1837
Even the buzz of the insects hushed as the final preacher of the Sabbath day stepped onto the stage to claim the pulpit. It was this man they'd come to see-the farmers and the merchants, the ladies in their finest silks, the young lawyer who, at the request of his friends, had left piles of work in his office six miles away in Springfield only to hear the renowned speaker.
Peter Akers didn't disappoint. He was a giant of a man. More than six feet tall and broad with long limbs and large hands that animated his speech, he loomed above the crowd. They leaned into his words in the slick heat of the Illinois summer.
He began his sermon with a text from Zechariah 9:9: Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold thy King cometh unto thee. Akers favored the Old Testament prophets, often preaching from these strange and ancient texts sometimes for hours, diving without hesitation into high-minded allegory and apocalyptic language, inviting his congregation to ascend with him to new intellectual heights.
His were not the emotionally exhilarating sermons of his colleagues. He neither condemned nor flattered. His words did not inspire the quaking and contorting otherwise common at camp meeting revivals, yet he held his audience rapt and eager.
Like Jacob of old, Akers wrestled with God, and all who listened came away changed. His sermon danced among the words of God's prophets, from Zechariah to Isaiah, from Ezekiel's proclamations of the unrighteous overturned, to the book of Revelation and Babylon's inevitable fall.
And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise anymore: the merchandise of silver and gold and precious stone, of wine and oil and fine flour, of sheep and horses and chariots and slaves and the souls of men.
Akers paused here, his eyes raised to heaven and at the same time locked into the hearts of each silent person awaiting the forthcoming conclusion, breaths held in anticipation.
"If we interpret the prophecies of this Book correctly. . ." Though the preacher's commanding voice lowered to nearly a whisper, not a word could be missed. "There will soon come a time when the head and front of this offending shall be broken; a time when slave-ships, like beasts of prey, will no longer steal along the coast of defenseless Africa. When we shall cease to trade in the flesh and souls of men but will instead expel forever from this land the manacle and the whip.
"I am not a prophet," Akers explained to a congregation that did not believe him. "But a student of the Prophets. American slavery will come to an end in some near decade."
At these words, shifting and murmuring rose in the crowd, some perhaps angry but most filled with hope and awe at the sheer audacity of the assertion. Undaunted by the excitement, Akers carried on, saying, "Who can tell but that the man who shall lead us through this strife might be standing in this presence."
This was a pronouncement rather than a question. The preacher paused, giving space for the seed of prophetic vision to find fertile soil.
At the edge of the crowd, the young lawyer drew a long breath, rubbed his weary eyes, and reflected on the preacher's powerful words.
One of his friends clapped him on the back. "What do you think, Mr. Lincoln? Are you glad you came with us?"
"As odd as it seems," he answered with only slight hesitation, "When the preacher described those changes and revolutions, I was deeply impressed that I should somehow strangely mix up with them."
He did not wait for a response from his dumbfounded friend, but stood tall and stretched the stiffness from his shoulders and limbs as he thought of the many tasks awaiting him on his desk, and of the much greater work he'd yet to begin.

Exercise is a great way to boost your happiness. The good news is that you don’t have to run for thousands of miles to experience runner’s high or anything like that. Simple little things like going out for a short walk, or doing some simple stretches before bed can have a big impact.
If you need a little extra motivation to move more and get your weekly exercise, you don’t want to miss today’s motivational post.
When you’re having a bad day, or are feeling down, the best way to increase your happiness, may be to exercise. There is a strong link between exercise and an improvement in mood and well-being. Give it a try. Go for a 30 minute walk whenever you’re feeling depressed and unhappy. You’ll notice your mood starting to increase throughout the walk. As you get back, you may notice that you’re feeling even happier.
This increase of happiness and well-being after exercise is caused by two different mechanisms in our body. The first is that exercise causes the release of brain chemicals like endorphins and other mood enhancers. This happens just a few minutes after you work out and the effect can last for a good 12 hours. The second part to the equation is that exercise also helps reduce the levels of stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline in the body. That means you’ll instantly feel less stressed. This one-two punch can have a powerful effect on how you feel. Something as simple as a brisk walk can help you feel better almost immediately.
For best results you want to exercise a few times per week. Take some time during your lunch break to go for a walk, or work a quick workout in before you head to work in the morning. It doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you start moving around and get that blood pumping. Pick activities you enjoy that you will stick with.
In addition to the everyday mood booster you get from exercising regularly, there are quite a few additional long term benefits. Exercise is good for your health and you may start to get fitter and even slimmer and more toned if you stick with it. This in turn will improve how you feel and how you feel about yourself. That added confidence can be a great additional mood booster.
For best results, try to get as much exercise as you can outside. Fresh air and sunshine add to a feeling of wellbeing. Come up with some simple things you can start doing right now. Maybe it’s going for a walk each afternoon. Maybe it’s taking up jogging. Maybe it’s signing up for a yoga or Pilate’s class at your local community center, or maybe it’s joining a basketball team. It doesn’t matter what you choose to do as long as you make it a goal to get more active and move around. Switch it up and plan a group hike for the weekend, or dust off your bike. There’s a lot of fun ways to move around and enjoy the world around you.
