James Murray Meet The Author Linktr.ee In the spring of 2020 ( The start of the Pandemic in North America), After numerous lockdowns, social media and the entertainment industry could only bring us so far, and then the boredom kicked in. That's when I noticed a change in people that brought back many of my childhood memories from the '80s. Kids were riding their bikes and skateboarding together (I even noticed people rollerskating and rollerblading), families were outside going for walks and biking together, I hadn't seen this much family interaction since the '80s. Having siblings of various ages throughout the '80s, I witnessed and absorbed the New Wave era. Summers consisted of friends knocking on your front door (All the time!). You were hyped, anticipating the "Knock." We would walk or bike everywhere, arcades, movies, go fishing, swim. The most crucial part of the '80s was that friends simply hung out together and talked for hours. Imagination, friends, and the outdoors made the 80's. I'm James Murray, and I would like to dedicate this book to all the 80s fanatics around the globe. Here are his books. James Murray E.L.

As the science lab coordinator for a Colorado community college, I enjoyed helping revise lab manuals, so why not become a travel writer? I managed to learn enough to sell freelance articles to several major publications. Then I wrote a travel adventure novel, which led me into giving lectures on cruise ships and writing another novel. Can't wait to see where that dream's going to take me next. ​ Here are her books. Ann Payton Melina Druga Meet The Author Website Rockstar Goodreads BookBub All Author Instagram YouTube Pinterest Twitter Facebook Rumor has it that Melina Druga came out of her mother’s womb with a pen in her hand. While we can neither confirm or deny this, you could say she was destined to become a writer. Melina was so young when she began writing that she can’t remember exactly when the urge began. She does remember, however, her first novel – an historical fiction story about two sisters living in an Ohio canal town in the 1840s – that she wrote at age 10. Music keeps Melina sane, and it has gotten to the point that she cannot write without it. It keeps her awake, alert, motivated and productive. Music has even inspired her fiction. And not just The Rock Star’s Wife series. The My Chemical Romance song “Mama” was the inspiration for her historical fiction novel Angel of Mercy. Melina lives in the Midwest with her husband, daughter, black cat, books and CD collection. ​ Here are her books.

Anne R Bailey Ginny B Moore Meet The Author Website Linktr.ee Newsletter Ginny was the kid who loved kissing scenes in movies and always rooted for Mulder and Scully to hook up. Her first piece of writing was a horrendous fanfic romance based on The Three Musketeers when she was thirteen that will never see the light of day. Ginny started writing romance with purpose in 2021 to avoid doom-scrolling social media and has never stopped. To pay the bills, she is a middle school assistant principal and has been in education for fifteen years. Most of her writing is done on her phone or in the parking lot of her kids’ extracurricular activities. When she is not writing, Ginny is a very slow long-distance runner or making a dent in her endless “to be read” list. She is the mother of three kids, two exceptionally stupid dogs, two codependent cats, and the grandmother to a hermit crab. While she started writing during the pandemic, she has found it to be a new lifeline and form of self-care and has already planned her next five books in the series. ​ Here are her books.

Clive Aaron Gill Arlene Lomazoff-Marron Peter Scholes Lisa Barker Emorie Cole Serlina Rose Linda Rettstatt Havelah McLat Sunshine Rodgers Tiffany Daniels Clare Bentley Mia Sivan Jonathan Ashman Laura Lyndhurst Lee Bukowski Kim Wilch Herm Rawligs Literature & Fiction Authors + Herm Rawligs Herm Rawlings Meet The Author BOOKS BY HERM RAWLINGS ​ FAMILY TRADITION : What started as a handwritten, 4-page short story 30 years ago became my first effort at writing a book. I was stationed aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Tamaroa and back then, we didn’t have all the luxuries of today (internet, satellite, cell phones, etc.) so we had to make our own entertainment. A short story contest was held while we were on patrol and I came up with the initial story. Last year, I found the story and decided to try my hand at a book. I knew I had to really expand the story so off I went. Through trial and error, and a hefty dose of assistance from an old high school friend (John Sheirer, who happens to be an English Professor), we finished the book and released it through Scantic Books last summer. The following is the description on the back of the book: “Every sailor knows the legends surrounding the Bermuda Triangle, including young recruit Josh Hartman onboard the Coast Guard Cutter Tuckahoma. During an otherwise routine patrol off the Atlantic coast, Hartman’s ship gets drawn into the adventure of a lifetime. As Josh delves deeper into a stunning mystery, he realizes that his future depends on connecting with his own past to discover the true meaning of his “Family Tradition. This debut book by Herm Rawlings shows a detailed knowledge of ship operations from his own service in the Coast Guard. Rawlings enhances that first-hand realism of life onboard ship with a vivid imagination, strong character development, and gripping action to create a story that stays with readers long after turning the final page.” Family Tradition is a novella of 105 pages making it good for a short read. FOLLOW THE MOON: I had a lot of folks that read Family Tradition express to me that the story had questions that they wanted answers to. Kind of left them hanging, so to speak. So I put the ol’ thinking cap on and came up with a follow-up story that hopefully answered their questions while also leaving open the possibility of another “episode”. You don’t have to read the first book to understand this one as I tried to make it a stand-alone book. But it will definitely help if you read Family Tradition as well. Most of the characters in this book are based on people that I know. Mainly the four college friends all have been based on my son and three of his friends. I incorporated the main female character based on my wife. Even our dog Hannah has an appearance! Chatties Lounge is an actual business on Chincoteague Island, Va., and if you visit them on Sundays, you may see Laura behind the bar. If you do, tell her you read about her! The geographics of Hyndman, Pa., are accurate as well as I can remember as that’s where I grew up. ​ Here’s a brief description of the book: Follow the adventure of four college friends out on a day fishing trip as they find themselves drawn into an experience like no other. What was to be a relaxing trip turns into a series of events that none could have expected or imagined. What's on the "other side"? No one knew...until now. ​ Follow The Moon is much larger than Family Tradition, just over double the word count at 135 pages. "It's really terrific! The entire story holds well together very well. The interplay between the characters is witty and works well to develop each one, and the range of characters interconnects clearly. The dialog is fantastic, and the action sequences are the best part of the book. Overall, it's a great spin-off from the first book that connects stories while creating a unique and independent story. Bravo!"...John Sheirer, Scantic Books. ​ I hope you enjoy my efforts and I sincerely appreciate all your support. Stay tuned, you never know what will come out of this head in the future! My biggest influence when I’m writing is Clive Cussler, the award-winning action/adventure author who just past away. I have every one of the Dirk Pitt novels and I think you’ll see his influence in my books. During the writing process, I’m constantly running the story like a movie in my head, making sure it flows and makes sense. Most of the time it works but inevitably, sometimes it just doesn’t work for me. Perfectionist? Yeah, when it comes to the story I am. And it’s always a slight struggle to determine if it’s done or not. Should I add more or expand? Will the reader see it as I do? With the help of my publisher, we get to where we think it should be. Ok I'll work on it shortly Here are his books ​ Linda Rettstatt Linda Rettstatt Meet The Author Website Linda Rettstatt was born in Brownsville, Pennsylvania and worked for her hometown newspaper following graduation from high school.

She was raised by a single mother and didn’t care to know her abusive biological father, instead considering her stepfather to be her dad. Playtime for her growing up was filled with creating scenarios to act out and making up dance routines to her favourite songs of the late 80s to early 90s. She discovered a love of writing in secondary school English, which was the only lesson she cared to attend, and the only GCSE’s she actually got a decent grade in. She never really had a passion for anything other than being a mother until she was one, and that’s when she decided to try her hand at writing. It started with fan fiction, about Backstreet Boys, then *NSYNC and – more recently – the TV show, Supernatural. She loved it and met some incredible friends that encouraged her to use her skills to tell her own stories, with characters she created from scratch.

When she’s not concocting unique recipes in her kitchen or hovering over her keyboard, this attorney and former laboratory scientist spends her time as a competitive runner. With experience racing from sun-drenched Hawaii to frigid Iceland, her first publishing credit was in Simon & Schuster’s best-selling book series, Chicken Soup for the Soul, Running for Good, highlighting the historic 2013 and 2014 Boston Marathons. Growing up immersed in beloved “Teen” novels, Kelly now crafts her own sweet stories that bridge the gap between middle grade and young adult fiction that is so often forgotten but so sorely needed in the market today. In fact, she is so passionate about bridging this gap that she founded the imprint Link Press, dedicated to bringing these stories back to young readers. As a believer that there is magic in the everyday, she has a soft spot for the kind and sincere yet flawed character, who tries to do the right thing, stumbles along the way, but eventually becomes a hero in everyday life. Kelly resides in Providence, Rhode Island with her architect husband, Jonathan, and her spirit animal and trusted kitty, Otto. Her new young adult ice hockey mystery/thriller Frozen in Time releases in early fall 2023. ​ Here are her books. Kelly Swan Taylor Peter Scholes Meet The Author One Last Waltz With Every Breath I am a primary school teacher by day and single parent to a beautiful little girl the rest of the time. Writing is an enjoyable hobby of mine when I am not planning lessons or watching my beloved Carlisle United (something else that has been denied us for much of this last 18 months in these strange time). I love to write and take myself to all sorts of weird and wonderful places. I have recently finished my second and third novels, Once Upon A Time There Was A Man and With Every Breath after releasing me 'Conscience' a few years ago. I have written a series of children's books (www.beyondthehill.co.uk ), plays, scripts, poems and educational resources for schools. I am self-published through Amazon and am not represented by anyone as yet but I hope it is only a matter of time before publishers and agencies beat a path to my door. I would very much like to retire early. :-) ​ Here are his books. Peter Scholes

Leta Hawk Leta Hawk Meet The Author Amazon Page Facebook I don't remember when I knew I wanted to be an author; storytelling has always been a part of my life. Words have always fascinated me, especially the way the right words strung together could capture almost any experience and make it live for whoever was reading them. In fact, I loved writing so much that I was that one weirdo in class who would rather write a 10-page essay than take a multiple-choice exam. I have tried my hand at many kinds of writing--poetry, children's stories, short stories, novels, scripts, and the occasional song lyric (although I usually deal with parodies of popular songs rather than my own). In addition to writing about Kyrie Carter's paranormal adventures, I am also working on a cozy mystery series, and am planning a young adult series based on Kyrie's teenage children (spoiler alert). When I'm not writing, I'm a substitute teacher at the local high school, a wife, and the mother of two very active, creative, and intelligent boys and one very naughty, energetic dog. ​ Here are her books.

Ophelia Kee Meet The Author Website Not who everyone thinks she is. The product of someone’s imagination. The end result of a lifetime wishing to get out. Do not buy the lie. If you live in fear, you give up freedom. Taking the risk and making the leap. Too much of anything is a bad thing. Innuendo floating on the mist that rises above the water. Walk away and leave it all behind. Telling the story that haunts a fantasy. Catching a dream. She does not exist.

She was raised by a single mother and didn’t care to know her abusive biological father, instead considering her stepfather to be her dad. Playtime for her growing up was filled with creating scenarios to act out and making up dance routines to her favourite songs of the late 80s to early 90s. She discovered a love of writing in secondary school English, which was the only lesson she cared to attend, and the only GCSE’s she actually got a decent grade in. She never really had a passion for anything other than being a mother until she was one, and that’s when she decided to try her hand at writing. It started with fan fiction, about Backstreet Boys, then *NSYNC and – more recently – the TV show, Supernatural. She loved it and met some incredible friends that encouraged her to use her skills to tell her own stories, with characters she created from scratch. And that led her into the world of self-publishing. Here are her books. Clare Bentley Melony Ann Meet The Author Website Newsletter Facebook TikTok Goodreads BookBub Instagram Amazon Melony Ann began writing short stories and poetry as a child.

Melony believes that if her writing can inspire just one person, then all of her hard work is worth it. Her hope is that her writing allows each and every one of her readers to escape for a little while. To dive into a different world one book at a time. ​ Here are her books. Melony Ann Ann Payton Meet The Author Linktr.ee Sometime in the 90s, I decided I needed a dream to pursue between working and raising three children. As the science lab coordinator for a Colorado community college, I enjoyed helping revise lab manuals, so why not become a travel writer? I managed to learn enough to sell freelance articles to several major publications. Then I wrote a travel adventure novel, which led me into giving lectures on cruise ships and writing another novel. Can't wait to see where that dream's going to take me next. ​ Here are her books. Ann Payton Christine M. Germain Meet The Author Instagram YouTube Facebook Goodreads Twitter Christine M. Germain is an Award-Winning American author of Horror Thriller & Paranormal Romance fiction. Born March 8, 1981, in Brooklyn, New York, she found her passion for writing in 1993 and wrote her first horror story at twelve. Watching horror movies and reading young adult horror fiction novels influenced her love for writing a story with a protagonist that looked like her. African American women weren't portrayed as solid leads in horror films or books. Instead of waiting to see if that would happen, she created a story that she would love to read and watch on the big screen that catered to more diverse characters. Admiring authors such as Stephen King and R.L. Stein, Christine pursued her writing journey majoring in literature, and graduated with a performing arts degree. Known for an imagination unlike any other, Christine is ready to take you to a thrilling shapeshifter world with Four book series, "The Brother's Curse Saga." ​ Here are her books. Christine M Germain Mike Cooper Meet The Author Website Mike grew up in Brisbane, Australia, imagining he was everything from a rogue pirate to an intergalactic traveller. His desire to write began as a student at primary school when one of his short stories won second prize in a local writing challenge. University and teacher training – another childhood imagining – beckoned following high school. His career spanned nearly 40 years during which he shared his love of learning with students of all ages, from pre-schoolers to adult learners. Now retired, he continues the sharing through this website and his scary, exciting fantasy novels aimed at the 10-12 age group. Mike’s other interests include playing piano, watching basketball games (his playing days are over) and story-telling with his grandkids. ​ Here are his books Mike Cooper Linda Rettstatt Meet The Author Website Facebook Instagram Blog Linda Rettstatt began her writing career at the tender age of 18 while working as a classified ad clerk for her hometown newspaper. She covered the local community theater stories no one else wanted to cover, and she did so with enthusiasm, insisting upon a by line. Rettstatt’s creative nature steered her into a career as a semi-professional folk musician for a number of years. Finally, in 2002, she sat at a computer determined to find out if she could write a novel. That novel and three more were contracted by a small press. She moved from small press publishing to self-publishing in 2014 and has forty+ novels and novellas and several short stories in her bibliography. Six of her novels were finalists for the prestigious EPIC eBook Award, and two novels, Love, Sam and Ladies in Waiting, won the award in 2012 and 2016 respectively. In April of 2021, Linda retired from her social work position in NW Mississippi and relocated back to her home state of Pennsylvania where she continues to write and to offer services as an editor and writing consultant. ​ Below are all of Linda's Books Linda Rettstatt Madeline Vaughn Meet The Author Website Death Before Dishonor Etsy I have always been passionate about writing and storytelling.

She wrote her first novel aged eight on her mother’s old typewriter. The (very badly written) novel is now lost in an attic but the dream of being a writer and having a book cover remained. As the years passed she devoured books hungrily. With the everyday demands of motherhood, work and daily life, she discovered the pleasure a good romance can bring… and, even better, the escape and passion a great fantasy paranormal romance offers – and so turned her hand to writing them. Beth Linton lives in North Wales, UK. Beth is often found with her laptop on her lap absorbed with her characters as her son happily plays Lego, her jungle of houseplants grows and wild birds visit her bird feeders as her husband weeds the vegetable patch.

Beth Linton Melina Druga Meet The Author Website Rockstar Goodreads BookBub All Author Instagram YouTube Pinterest Twitter Facebook Rumor has it that Melina Druga came out of her mother’s womb with a pen in her hand. While we can neither confirm or deny this, you could say she was destined to become a writer. Melina was so young when she began writing that she can’t remember exactly when the urge began. She does remember, however, her first novel – an historical fiction story about two sisters living in an Ohio canal town in the 1840s – that she wrote at age 10. Music keeps Melina sane, and it has gotten to the point that she cannot write without it. It keeps her awake, alert, motivated and productive. Music has even inspired her fiction. And not just The Rock Star’s Wife series. The My Chemical Romance song “Mama” was the inspiration for her historical fiction novel Angel of Mercy. Melina lives in the Midwest with her husband, daughter, black cat, books and CD collection. ​ Here are her books. Melina Druga Euryia Larsen Meet The Author Newsletter Website Euryia Larsen grew up thinking that what she was told about the world was only part of the story. She loves myths both historical and modern and often sees the the possibility in ‘what if’. A good romance with strong ‘alpha’ heroes and even stronger heroines that can be a partner for them are her favorite kinds of books if the heroines are just a tad crazy, even better. Euryia is a stay-at-home mom of two beautiful daughters, four crazy cats, four crazier dogs, and a husband to round out the bunch. She deals with her fair share of health issues while dealing with Fibromyalgia and other complications and as a result, she finds an escape in books where there is always a happily ever after. She’s always been creative and has written for herself as an audience for longer than she can remember. ​ Here are her books.

In fact, she is so passionate about bridging this gap that she founded the imprint Link Press, dedicated to bringing these stories back to young readers. As a believer that there is magic in the everyday, she has a soft spot for the kind and sincere yet flawed character, who tries to do the right thing, stumbles along the way, but eventually becomes a hero in everyday life.

Ryder William Schumport Havelah McLat Alexandra Grace Vicky Peplow Shelly M Neinast Kevin Hudson Author Interviews Interviews appear in Amber's (A.R. Grosjean) newsletter on the 15th when available, and will begin appearing here as well. If you would like to be interviewed please fill out the questionnaire here . Thank you! These are Indie Authors. J.M. Samland Jamie mostly writes in dark fantasy, but he does have a book of short stories that dabble in contemporary fiction, mystery, and steampunk. ​How did you decide to become a writer? I wrote a lot through high school, then stopped for almost 20 years. I started back training taekwondo, something I also quit in high school, and when I was close to black belt, I thought "what else have I stopped?" And blam, 5 books in 2 years. What inspires you, and motivates you to write? I pull inspiration from myself, hoping to get a fan someday. Other than my mom. She's my #1 fan. ​Do you get writer's block? What do you do to get out of your writing funk? Not really. If I'm stuck on one project, I go to another, which lead to my book of short stories. ​Share an inspirational story you encountered on your writing journey. Since I've published, several friends have said they want to write a book too. Only one is. She's told me what an inspiration and model I am to her. It's very touching. ​The most recent release or the next book you're about to release......Share blurb and 5 reasons why someone should read that book. Include a link if already released. If there are any reviews for this book, please include them as well. Ooo Shiny! Volume 1 will be released on August 8th. It's a collection of short stories marketed for reading on the toilet. https://amzn.to/3AOFXxE 5 reasons to read it? - quick read - not immersive, very accessible - fun and funny - variety of genres - my mom says the story about the pawn shop is the best thing ever ------ The dark lord's call pulls the exalted king from his eternal slumber, but he's trapped behind a stone wall. A centipede pleads for help, but what if it's a hyper-advanced AI from the future? An assassin uses everyday objects in his craft and grooves to 1990s top 40 hits. Cannibal ghosts drive campers into an eating frenzy. What if Ivan the Terrible's Golden Library were hidden under the Red Square Krispy Kreme? What if a competing dungeon offered dental? Ooo Shiny! is a collection of 19 absurd stories from a mind that can't focus, each taking only 5 to 15 minutes to read during your morning constitutional. Sometimes rambling nonsense that aims to make you smirk or your eyes roll, even the most black-hearted, humorless souls will find at least one chuckle in this collection. Grab a stick of unicorn jerky, put down your time-traveling phone, and respawn into the dungeon next to the D.E.D. sorority mixer! As one advance reader called it, "Fun... In a disturbing way..." ​Who is your ideal audience? "new adult" and up. I don't go overboard with violence or language, but some of the imagery might be a bit much for younger. ​What sets you apart from other writers? Probably not really anything. I don't take myself too seriously and have fun with the process. Is there another author your books are similar to? James Clemens (aka James Rollins) was a strong influence in my early work. ​If you have multiple books available, which one is your favorite? And why? I'll have 5 out by the end of September. I'm proud of them all for different reasons. - Realms of Terswood was my first - I drafted Trials of Throk'tar very quickly, like it was writing itself - I drafted Necromancer of Urbus for NaNoWriMo and didn't plan on writing it until the week before I started. - Ooo Shiny! was just fun to be ridiculous and silly - Seeds of Farsil is a farewell to a trilogy with a scope far greater than my previous novels. ​What does your writing process entail? Planner, pantser? Research required? Editing methods? etc I'm mostly a pantsers. I'm trying to plot more so that I'm more efficient and have to toss out less after draft 1. I've started using a plot wheel so I can see the gaps in the pacing and clearly see how events foreshadow later things, etc. After draft 1, I try my best to set the work down for a while, but I'm insanely impatient, so that rarely works. ​Behind the scenes......Music or no? Any other tactics used in the aid of writing? Streaming Lofi girl all the time! I can't write in silence, but also can't have lyrics or anything with too strong of beats. It's so hard to not tab over to Chrome... I haven't come up with a way to avoid that yet. ​What would you tell a new writer to help them get started? Just write, have fun with it. Don't edit too hard or be hard on yourself reading it back. Just get words down. ​Do you have a newsletter? Share a subscribe link if you have one. Include what to expect with your issues (if you'd like to share this information) https://jamiemsamland.com/free... I give a link to download some free stories with a signup. I email very infrequently with updates about my writing. I'm working to come up with more content for greater value. ​Is there anything you would like to add? Any tips or anecdotes you'd like to share? I wrote REALMS during the COVID lockdown, like I'm sure 4 million other people did. I had a bunch of terrible fan fiction from high school and scraped all that when I was preparing to test for my black belt. I published the book a week before I tested for my third degree. This interview is on our new site! J.M. Samland Pat Spencer How did you decide to become a writer? Include age when you began to write. I first decided to become a writer in First Grade when my teacher made a big fuss over my report on George Washington. But in my later years, when my career guidance counselor told me how little the average writer earns (think starving artist syndrome), I decided to go into education and write as a sideline. During that time, I wrote for a newspaper, a tabletop magazine, and a trade journal and published a textbook. Only after retiring did I write fiction. ​What inspires you, and motivates you to write? I enjoy the writing process so that motivates me. I also like the camaraderie of participating in writers' critique groups. I also think writing is good for the brain. What genres do you write? Or plan to write in the future? My published book, Story of a Stolen Girl, is an international thriller. My two works in progress are historical and literary fiction. I also published several short stories. ​Do you get writer's block? What do you do to get out of your writing funk? So far, knock on wood, I have not had writer's block ​The most recent release or the next book you're about to release......Share blurb and 5 reasons why someone should read that book. Include a link if already released. If there are any reviews for this book, please include them as well. I am currently querying publishers for two books: Golden Boxty in the Frypan which is inspired by my mother's experiences as an orphan in the 1930s. The second novel is Sticks in a Bundle: The Early Years. This novel, the first of a trilogy, is about a woman, born in South Africa in 1961, who grows up in a Soweto shanty under the rule of apartheid. She dedicates herself to fighting racial injustice with her written words. ​Who is your ideal audience? My ideal audience is made up of readers who like to learn while being entertained and are ages 13 to 100+. ​What sets you apart from other writers? I think I am more compulsive than most writers about editing prior to letting anyone read my work. ​Is there another author your books are similar to? Share all that applies to each book. Others have compared my writing to Barbara Kingsolver's work. I am humbled when someone says this. I only wish that were true. If you have multiple books available, which one is your favorite? And why? Story of a Stolen Girl is the only book I have published at this moment unless you count my textbook. The novel is definitely my favorite so far. I also several published short stories. ​What does your writing process entail? Planner, pantser? Research required? Editing methods? etc I do an enormous amount of research before and during the writing process. I try to be a planner, but as I write, I have bouts of being a pantser. ​Behind the scenes......Music or no? Any other tactics used in the aid of writing? I don't listen to music while writing, but I do while editing. I get tense and irritated when finding some of my dumb mistakes or reading something that I thought was wonderful, but now makes no sense at all, so I listen to soothing music during editing. ​What would you tell a new writer to help them get started? Read online articles about the craft, and specifically read lots within your desired genre. And join a supportive, yet honest, critique group. ​Is there anything you would like to add? Any tips or anecdotes you'd like to share? It is important to me that my writing takes the reader to a place, era, or circumstance they know little about and leads them to learn more about the subject. This interview is on our new site! Pat Spencer Ann Payton How did you decide to become a writer? Include age when you began to write. I've always loved to read, and when I was around 12, I noticed that teachers reacted enthusiastically to my writing. That stayed in the back of my mind through young adulthood. I remember sitting in a pediatric waiting room with my little ones and reading an article a mother had written about daycare options on cruise ships. I was blown away to think she'd gotten PAID to do that. So, when our kids got older, and I felt I needed a goal to work toward when I wasn't working my day job in a science lab, I decided to become a freelance travel writer. ​What inspires you, and motivates you to write? Working toward an exciting goal makes life so much more exciting for me, I can't imagine going back to mundane, going nowhere ruts. I also find that when the world is insane, or bad things are happening to loved ones, I can take refuge in the world I'm creating in a book. What genres do you write? Or plan to write in the future? When my daughter was in her senior year, I dealt with my empty nest dread issues by writing a travel adventure novel about a mother who handles her empty nest by running off to Colorado and having crazy adventures there. I followed up with a mystery novel set in the college science lab I coordinated for 20 years. Making that mystery work involved so much time and frustration that I took a break from it and wrote my father's story which expanded into a family biography. I finally made the mystery work by cutting the end off, but there's so much good stuff in that amputated end that I need to expand it into a second book. After that, who knows. I hope to get back to giving lectures on cruise ships one day. ​Do you get writer's block? What do you do to get out of your writing funk? I generally don't have problems with writer's block. When I get stuck, it's because I don't know what's going to happen next and doing more research fixes that most of the time. ​Share an inspirational story you encountered on your writing journey. Not long after becoming a science lab coordinator, I saw a notice offering small grants to boost preschool learning programs. I’d just left a preschool teaching job, and I’d been wishing that the little ones could play with some of the science toys in the lab, so I had a brainwave. Wouldn’t it be cool if we could check kits out to teachers, so every kid in class could have a set of bottles full of magical but harmless chemicals to explore? My new bosses who made suggestions for the proposal and then brought in a grant specialist. He liked the idea but said we should make videos to explain how the chemistry works. All I knew about making videos was that homemade ones were usually lame, so what chance did I have of making good ones? But I soon realized that I had a superpower. The whole college seemed to be behind me, providing help with all the stuff I didn't know. Later I took the kits to the University’s the annual Chemistry Day.

Include a link if already released. If there are any reviews for this book, please include them as well. Coordinating a college science lab seems a terrific job for this fledgling graduate. The instructors are fun and appreciative. Maci loves helping with field trips and magic shows, and the intrigues of science are endlessly fascinating. Except, why all the secrets? The dean orders Maci to say nothing about finding a bleeding man in the parking lot. Reporting missing lab equipment is also taboo. When Maci investigates fraudulent expenditures, the lab reagents she prepares fail. Toxic fumes from a broken bottle force an evacuation. Someone uploads a devastating virus into a state-wide system—from Maci’s computer. While she’s pushing to discover who’s behind the trouble, the instructors conclude that it’s Maci. Her one loyal ally acts a lot like a stalker. She’s on her own dodging booby traps, bloody threats, and termination. Anne's 5 reasons 1) Enthused reviews on Amazon! 2) Details are 100% authentic 3) Fun characters 4) Beautiful Rocky Mountain settings 5) Heart-pounding lab chase scene Mile High Lab Rat (A few of many reviews!) Captivating “Very creative writer. Captivating story. Lots of detail. It's a book you just want to read without stopping. I look forward to the sequel." Naomi Hamann A Lab Rat Mystery that keeps you on the Edge! “...there was never a dull moment! I felt like I was in Maci's shoes the whole time wondering just who I could trust and who was after me!” Valerie Temple Author A Patch in the Wilderland Lots of twists and turns “This book is definitely for the current, former, or future "lab rat"! Lots of detailed and accurate descriptions of behind-the-scenes lab preps and life in the sciences, interspersed with a mystery of epic proportions.

Markelz Great blend of science, romance, and mystery! “Great setting of a science lab to learn about a world I never knew about! Story is driven by romance and mystery and a head strong MC that you root for! Great read.” Caitlin Howell A great read I couldn’t put down “A stunning, fast-paced story packed with surprising twists…laugh out-loud funny…written beautifully. I would follow Maci anywhere!” Judith Fowler, forensic psychology writer ​ Who is your ideal audience? Adults who love nature, science, Colorado, mysteries, and/or learning new things. People who've spent time in science labs will love revisiting that ambiance. ​What sets you apart from other writers? That's a tough one. Several people have told me that I'm odd. I was surprised. I didn't see anything odd about what I'd said, but I took it as a compliment. The editor who worked my final draft of "Mile High Lab Rat" said that it was fantastic, and she'd never read anything like it. I can't say why, but maybe you'll read it and tell me. ​Is there another author your books are similar to? Share all that applies to each book. "Mile High Lab Rat" has commonalities with Nevada Barr's national parks novels. "No Market For 'Em" is similar to Rick Bragg's "All Over But the Shoutin" and Tony Hillerman's "A Life," but each life inevitably takes its own course. My best comparison for "Rocky Mountain Walkabout" is Winton Groom's "Forrest Gump." ​ If you have multiple books available, which one is your favorite? And why? "Mile High Lab Rat" is my opus. My writing skills have grown considerably, and I also took the time and got the feedback required to make this work top-of-the-line. ​What does your writing process entail? Planner, pantser? Research required? Editing methods? etc I can't just sit down and write. I have to know what's happening next or I tend to tap dance with words. Yes, research is huge! ​Behind the scenes......Music or no? Any other tactics used in the aid of writing? No music. Maybe I should try it, but I haven't. ​What would you tell a new writer to help them get started? Forget the clock/calendar. Give your writing all the time it needs to be all it can be. ​Do you have a newsletter? Share a subscribe link if you have one.

Blaise How did you decide to become a writer? Include age when you began to write. My writing journey began when I dreamed of becoming a professional writer around the age of ten. I wrote my first story after waking up from a nightmare. However, I only started calling myself a writer when I began working on my first book, The Last Lumenian, in 2014. ​I spent over six years developing and writing the story until it was ready for publication. My main inspiration came from a dream. I was on a cross-country road trip across Europe with my family. I woke up in the middle of the night, jetlagged, with an idea and wrote it down with the only illumination coming from my phone. It was the first draft of my story. Although a lot changed from that version to the one I published, the world, characters, and storyline all started there. What inspires you, and motivates you to write? I'm inspired to write knowing that I'm creating a unique experience for my readers. I hope to create stories that gets readers thinking about the characters even after the book is finished. Although these stories take place in an intergalactic setting, the characters go through experiences similar to what we experience, and the reader sees it from a different perspective. ​What genres do you write? Or plan to write in the future? While The Last Lumenian series is a fantasy action story, it also weaves together elements of romance, magic and mythology with science fiction, creating an original and complex setting for the main hero. The readers experience multiple storylines that allow them to be truly immersed inside the story and get to know Lilla and her world as if they are experiencing it themselves. ​Do you get writer's block? What do you do to get out of your writing funk? Through my writing journey, I have discovered a method that works for me that eliminates writer's block. I tend to generate as many notes as possible and produce a rough outline of each scene. So when I sit down to write, I let the words flow like water. While this may not work for everyone, I also find it vital to have other creative outlets that allow my mind time to take a step back and think before going back to writing again. I've recently taken up improv and found it remarkable to assist my writing and incorporate more improvisation when needed. Share an inspirational story you encountered on your writing journey. It is surreal to look back at the very beginning. There were so many emotions--excitement, joy, and even fear. At first, I felt embarrassed to call myself a writer. Hiding the fact that I began to write a book. It was the most vulnerable I’ve ever felt--writing is like opening up your soul. Letting your readers gain a glimpse of who you are. It was exhilarating and so scary at the same time! When I sat down and began to write, it was like the floodgates opening up.. Every second I had, I spent it on writing. Every fiber of my being demanded I keep writing, no matter what. I realized that I had a serious need to learn the writing craft that would allow me to tell the best story. So I searched for a place where I could take workshops focusing on writing and found a local writing community. This wonderful community offered many useful resources and workshops. I immediately signed up for one. That first critique session, I sat on needles and was sweating bullets, waiting for my turn to bear the comments and critiques. I had no idea how it would feel! How would I react if someone would be too critical of my writing? I knew that I did not want to be defensive or to take it too much to heart, it would destroy my ability to keep writing. I decided then and there that I would keep an open mind. Anything they said might help make my writing better. My goal was to elevate my writing and become a better writer. The fact that I was shaking like a leaf, and could barely take notes was beside the point. Yes, there was frustration hearing certain comments that seemed to miss the point, prompting a reflexive and protective stance that wanted to bubble to the surface, but I smashed that urge to speak up and took the comments smiling, deciding to examine them later. Not only did I survive that twenty minutes where eight people took turns commenting on my baby, (I mean writing!), but I left that meeting feeling inspired and with a slightly better understanding of storytelling. I chalked it up as a win! This experience taught me that when we push ourselves out of our comfort zone, there are endless possibilities to where it might lead us.

Sci-Fi Fantasy lovers any age from 15+ What sets you apart from other writers? I differ from other authors because I want to make the world a better place, one fantasy at a time.

Furthermore, I aim to help other aspiring writers fulfill their dreams of being an author by offering tips and tools to assist in their writing journey. Is there another author your books are similar to? The Last Lumenian Series has sci-fi elements similar to Brandon Sanderson’s Skyward and fantasy elements like Wheel of Time from Robert Jordan. If you have multiple books available, which one is your favorite? And why? Although each book in the series holds a special place in my heart, my favorite book in The Last Lumenian Series is the first in the series, The Last Lumenian. The Last Lumenian lays the groundwork for the series as a whole. It introduces the main character Lilla and gives background into her upbringing to provide the reader with a better understanding of the character. What does your writing process entail? Planner, pantser? Research required? Editing methods? etc My writing process entails spending a couple of months researching, developing notes, and outlining the story. Once writing starts, I spend anywhere from 4-8 hours on writing, as long as it takes to finish the scenes I started on. After, my work is sent to the editor for any needed adjustments. I have found that this process works best for me. Behind the scenes......Music or no? Any other tactics used in the aid of writing? Depending on the scene I am working on, I will put on some music or eat something that might provide further inspiration for the writing process. What would you tell a new writer to help them get started? If you want to write a story, sit down and start writing now! When inspiration sparks, fan the fire and write for as long as you can. Sometimes the hardest part about a writing journey is the beginning, but it will be worth it in the end. Do you have a newsletter? Share a subscribe link if you have one.

Havelah McLat Alexandra Grace How did you decide to become a writer? Include age when you began to write. I've always love to write. I started with short stories and poetry when I was young, but my dream was writing a novel. The problem...never had an inspiring idea. It wasn't under my early forties that I was struck with an idea and gave writing a book a try. It was during the COVID-19 Pandemic (2020). With everything slowing down, I guess my brain was given time to think about something other than work. As I started writing down a few things and plotting my debut novel, I was struck by how much writing and my characters fueled me. From that point on, I never looked back and writing is now an obsession. I hope to never stop. What inspires you, motivates you to write? All my books so far and others planned have or will have a military or veteran main character. I've always been inspired by them and touched by their sacrifices. I want to bring attention to both. Now, writing is something I have to do or I feel empty, and military personnel and veterans are my muse. What genres do you write? Or plan to write in the future? Contemporary fiction with a touch of romance and Contemporary Romance What do you keep in your writing space? I'm a little chaotic. I have writing materials all over the place and it's unorganized. Maybe when I get to do this author thing full-time, I'll be a little more organized. :) What is your writing routine like? Whenever I have a few minutes, I write or edit. Lunch break at work, at night while my husband is watching TV, weekends, early morning before work. If it's an unfilled moment of time, I'm probably filling it with writing or editing. Do you have any writing pet peeves? Not yet, but the longer I do this, I'm sure I'll gain some. Share an inspirational story you encountered on your writing journey. The only one I can think of is the one that inspired my debut novel. I saw a documentary on veteran Micah James Herndon's Boston Marathon run in honor of his fellow service men and women who didn't make it home. After that, my MC (Jackson Vane) and his story were born. The most recent release or the next book you're about to release......Share blurb and 5 reasons why someone should read that book.

Most recent release: A Journey Worth Taking (prequel novella, Sydney & Will's Story) - Link: https://www.amazon.com/Journey... - Reviews: 1) 5 Stars by Emily = I will preface this by saying that I don’t read a lot of military romance because they just make me too sad. But I’m so glad I took the risk to read this one, and I will definitely be reading the other books in this series. Normally, the instalove trope doesn’t work for me; it usually feels cheesy and forced. But in this case, the author makes it feel as natural as breathing. I love how one look at Sydney had Will turning away from his playboy ways. I love how Sydney made Will fight for her, and how eventually he melted down her barriers. I loved the opposing family dynamics between the two partners, and I loved their past relationship history. The writing style of this book was engaging. I loved the inclusions of the journals and letters. I also loved a dual POV story, and this author did that really well. Finally, the cliffhanger ending was done beautifully. Overall, this book is a solid five stars. I can’t wait to find out more about Sydney and Will’s story. 2) 5 Stars by Jenn = READ IT!!!! A Journey Worth Taking is a beautifully written and light-hearted novella. For Will and Sydney, it was love at first; like a written in the stars, finding your soul mate kind of love. This story was funny, truthful, and heartwarming, with just the right amount of tastefully steamy moments. It has it all!! I don't know what I was expecting when I picked this book up, but I was pleasantly surprised. It flowed well and was easy to get into. I highly recommend A Journey Worth Taking!! Alexandra Grace, I am desperately needing more from them. 3) 5 Stars by Andrea = Journey worth taking is a true heart melting love story between Sydney and Will, two side characters in the journey series. While reading this book I had to frequently stop because I wasn’t ready for it to end. I also had to take breaks so I didn’t ball my eyes out knowing how their love story ends. I love how Sydney is a strong independent woman who doesn’t need no man. Yet along comes Will who won’t take no for an answer. His charm and determination are what every woman dreams of having. For a closed door romance Alexandra aced the sexual tension throughout the book. This is a great start to the series and is definitely a brilliant start to the series. Upcoming release: A Journey Beyond (Book 4 in The Journey Series) Who is your ideal audience? Women of any age that likes sweet with heat romance stories with emotion What sets you apart from other writers? I hear that my stories are unique, making them refreshing for readers since they don't follow the expected path. It may not set me apart but readers seem to mention it a lot in reviews. Is there another author your books are similar to? I'm still searching for a similar author. :) What would you tell a new writer to help them get started? Never stop writing. Even if the story isn't coming to you the way you want or in chronological order. Write down the scenes that come to you when they arrive. Piece them together later. One successful scene will lead to another and another and you can fill in the gaps as they come. Newsletter: https://1cce63-6085.icpage.net...

[The cover will be shared once Amber gets it] This interview is on our new site! Alexandra Grace Vicky Peplow How did you decide to become a writer? I became an author five years ago. I had a story stuck in my head for a while and figured it was time to get it on paper (actually a computer screen) and see if it was worth publishing. It turns out, it was. What inspires you, motivates you to write? Everything around me inspires me to write, but the most part is my partner, Lorie. She supports me in everything I do, and I couldn't be more appreciative. What genres do you write? Or plan to write in the future? I like to dabble in multiple genres and so far, I've written in paranormal, crime, thriller, historical fiction, children's books, and romance. In the near future I'm looking to branch out into sci-fi, space opera and poetry. What do you keep in your writing space? We actually have an office/computer room where I do my writing and keep all my research and other writing materials. What is your writing routine like? I usually check emails before I start and re-read what I've wrote so far before I begin writing. I usually start around 9 am and finish my day around 4 pm depending on what I'm writing. Do you have any writing pet peeves? Yeah, I have dyslexia, so I tend to have to go over everything I write twice to catch mistakes I've made. My editor catches those I don't see. Share an inspirational story you encountered on your writing journey. When I wrote The Old Coal Miner's Lamp, I got to speak to a few ex-coal miners, and they told me their stories which I incorporated into the book. One miner told me about when he had lost a brother in another mine, and he was certain the spirit of his brother came to him while he was working and told him he was ok. He only found out when he got home that his brother had actually died that morning. I could hear the emotion in his voice even though it had happened over fifty years ago.

Follow Shelly in these locations BookBub GoodReads Facebook Amazon This interview is on our new site! Shelly M Neinast Kevin Hudson What genres do you write in? Include subgenres. Young Adult Contemporary and Speculative Fiction When did you start writing? What kickstarted this? When I was in high school, I thought I wanted to be a writer/director/Special Effects Artist. I convinced my friends to help me make movies in my garage, which was a really fun thing to do as a teenager. Eventually, that passion for movies took me to the Filmmaking program at UCLA, where I studied screenwriting. After graduation, while I was still in my 20's, I didn't have the desire to sit in front of a computer all day, so I instead focused on Special Effects, and worked on many Creature/Special Effects Makeup films like Predator 2, and Edward Scissorhands. Eventually, Computer VFX came into vogue, and I retrained myself to do VFX work on a computer, which so fascinated me that I learned to sit in front of a computer all day. I worked as a Computer Graphics artist for over 28 years, contributing to films such a Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Dark Knight Rises, Contact, and Ghost Rider. This career took me all over the world, which was an amazing journey giving me life experiences and my global outlook. I evolved my career again, joining the Walt Disney Animation Studios in 2013, where I contributed to many of their animated films like Frozen, Zootopia, and Big Hero Six. In 2016, I joined forces with a bunch of coworkers to create a short film, "Weeds." which traveled all around the world spreading it message of empathy for immigrants and people in need. This little film won awards all over the planet, was qualified for an Academy Award, and ended up showing on over 450 screens in North America. This experience reawakened the writer in me and I began writing screenplays again. I had such fun writing a screenplay called Ukrainian Summer, which is based on my years living in Europe, and time visiting Ukraine, that I decided to adapt it into a novel. And now I have my first Debut Novel written. What's in your writing space? I have a room at home that is kind of my "Inner Sanctum." I have a bunch of film memorabilia in it with models and 3D prints of different creatures I've built, and posters from films I've worked on over the years. I like my two screen setup, so I can have my outline on one screen and Scrivener up on the second screen. I remember reading an interview with the famous Western writer Louis L'Amour years ago, where he said he could write in the middle of a busy intersection. My ability to focus is good, and I can tune out most distractions, but he's got me beat. I don't know that I could do that. What is something about you that makes you different? I've done a lot of travel around the world and tend to think in a very Globally Inclusive Way, My writing reflects that with lots of characters discovering "found families" in different cultures. Also, because I have a background in film writing and production, I write in a very cinematic fashion. I basically write the movie I see playing in my head, and run it backwards and forwards till I get the words right. Got a routine? How would you describe it? Most days, I get up early, have a cup of coffee, and go to the gym. Afterward, I do a morning meditation and get to work on my computer. I love outlining my story extensively. It is the most fluid way to develop a story, and to discover weak areas, and problematic pacing. It also allows me to do my drafting non-linearly. I tend to write my beginning, scenes in middle that at fun, or ones that intrigue me to help me find the characters, and then I'll write my ending. I love writing the ending early, as it inspires me to finish the story and link it all together. Any writing pet peeves? My pet peeve is when I can quite land a story point, and I have to get it working. I surround myself with critical people I trust to tell me when it's not working, and I'm grateful to have them. We all need people to keep us honest. Name the titles you've published. Ukrainian Summer will be my Debut Novel, and am currently fielding representation. For your new release...What are 5 reasons someone should read this book? Ukrainian Summer is a beautiful escapist story about Liam, a Teenage Polyglot who can speak five languages but has a hard time connecting with people, so he embarks on a one-year language exchange to somewhere he thinks is about as far away as he can get - a fantasyland called Ukraine. Only as we see in the book it's a real place with wonderful people who help Liam to find himself. Many people had never heard of it prior to the war there, but the book introduces us to people and their culture. My hope is that people who read it will come away with a greater sense of how small our world is and the magic it holds for all of us. Do you have any crazy quirks? Name them. I can be a bit OC, but aren't most authors as we are working hard to manage around 100,000 words in a novel. Your favorite book. Why is it your favorite? My current favorite book is Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin. Being a big computer geek and having worked during the independent gaming company days of the 90s, I so related to the characters in it and their passion for creating art. I even visited the Nezu Shrine in Tokyo on my recent trip to Japan as a result of reading this book. Who is your favorite author? I love John Green and have read most of his books. Such a great writer. Crisp clean prose. Efficient and transparent. Love love love. You are in a room filled with inspiring writers. What would you tell them before they write their first book? Research, Interview and Outline! Really brainstorm ideas. Speak the truth of your experience and don't be afraid of diving into difficult subject matter. Your ideal audience. Who is she/he? My ideal audience is made up of people who love travel and are seeking, as my character Petro in Ukrainian Summer says, "To make this world a more empathetic place for everyone, especially for people who are different."

Egan Tory Richards Kelley Heckart Beth Linton Celia Martin Linda Rettstatt Leanna Sain Morgan Gauthier Havelah McLat Dawn Corbett Romance Authors 1 + Dawn Corbett Dawn Corbett Meet The Author Website Facebook Page Hello! My name is Dawn Corbett; I'm currently an author, writer, mother, Grammy, an elementary teacher, and CEO of Laotong Publishing LLC. I enjoy reading, writing, teaching, and spending time with my family and friends. I have 3 wonderful children and 7 even more wonderful grandchildren. They are the light of my life and the reason why my TWEENS! Bully No More series has a special place in my heart. They are the inspiration behind my characters. I am a creative writer. I bring vivid imagery to the minds of my readers. Fans of my work are of a large variety of ages and mindsets. I love bringing my readers into the depths of my imagination. My passion lies in bringing many genres to life with multiple extended stories, novels, and short stories. As I introduce my creative words to the world, I plan to entertain my readers for a very long time. Dawn writes more than romance. All of her books are listed below. On New Site with Updates Elizabeth Anne Porter Meet The Author Facebook Page On New Site with Updates My life (and consequently, most information about me) is very boring. So, instead of boring you with the details of my life, I've transferred my webpage Q&A to this space. Enjoy! Q. How are you inspired? A. Honestly? They (the characters) are in my head and have always been there. They drive me crazy until I push back by writing it down. Then (sometimes) they leave me alone for a while. Some are more adamant than others. Some sit quietly in the background and wait patiently for my attention. Q. Are you crazy? A. I've been called worse. All of her books are listed below. Elizabeth Anne Porter Amanda V Shane Meet The Author On New Site with Updates Amanda is a Colorado native and fully admits to being a library dork growing up. To this day, she loves the smell of book paper on an almost fetish level (okay, maybe not, but that gives you a peek into the dark and twisted mind of this author). One of her first book romances came at the age of nine when, in a far back aisle, she found the story of King Arthur and was entranced by the blood purple canvas cover with gold leafing (she likes shiny things.) Since then, she’s been hooked on stories with magic, mythical beings, daring heroes, and, of course, desperate romance. She started writing at a very young age, but somewhere along the line, she left the creation of tales on the page for those on the stage and enjoyed a short career as a professional ballet dancer and an even longer one as a dance instructor and youth company director/choreographer. Nowadays, she is happy to be bringing fantasy and romance together in the written form again and has had a wonderful time writing about some of the more obscure characters from the world’s most renowned story ballets such as The Nutcracker and Swan Lake. You can read these timeless romances in her Enchanted Lands novels. She writes paranormal and fantasy romance from her home where she lives with her family and a Basset hound that she routinely has to fight for the “soft” end of the couch to set up with her laptop. She likes chocolate, wine, coffee, and kids, in no particular order. Visit Amanda on her website at www.amandavshane.com and join her mailing list for book news, upcoming events, and other fun! Receive Pearl of the Moon in return. ​ All of her books are listed below. Amanda V Shane Celia Martin Meet The Author On New Site with Updates Website Goodreads Facebook Twitter Amazon Blog I am a retired history teacher living in So. CA, and I love writing historical adventure romances, some with mysteries. I love reading historical works and mysteries and travel and music. Here are her books. Celia Martin Ivan Scott Meet The Author Instagram Goodreads Facebook Pinterest Twitter YouTube On New Site with Updates Ivan Scott has lived in Atlanta for over 30 years. He is married to a Genuine Ginger, so having a redhead protagonist is a must. He lives with his beautifully saucy wife, two troublemaking kids, and a Rat Terrier named Beesley in the Atlanta suburb of Sandy Springs. He is a die-hard Detroit Lions fan (Yes, one of the few remaining), and like Billy from Redhead in a Blue Convertible, he has a huge collection of the three B's: Bourbon, Bow-ties, and of course, Books! He has Dyslexia, but instead of looking at it as a challenge, he sees it as an advantage since it helps with creativity and helps to look at writing a story in many different ways. He hopes his example will help others with challenges follow their passion and make their dreams a reality. This is his book. Ivan Scott Sophia Sinclair Meet The Author On New Site with Updates Sophia Sinclair grew up in a town so small (pop. 170!) that the little town of Fairview where this series is set seems like the big city to her. For many years, she was the editor of a small town's daily newspaper, so she understands the rhythms of small-town life. When she started writing romances, she decided to set them all in a small town called Fairview. If you're from a small town, you'll feel like you've been there. If you're from a larger city, don't be surprised if you start yearning for small-town life. It's often said that in a small town, everybody knows everyone else's business, but the truth is, there are still a lot of secrets in small towns! She is married to a European man, has two grown children, and two lovely grandbabies she spoils to death. There's a little bit of Sophia in every one of her books. Molly is a librarian who wears plain dark dresses and looks very conservative but often wears racy underwear under that plain black dress. Sophia dresses the same. Lori likes to have a good time and always has lots of boyfriends before meeting the love of her life. Sophia will take the Fifth on that one. Catarina has a German poem on her bedroom wall; Sophia has the first two lines of that same poem tattooed on her upper thigh, in German. (It's Rilke, and the first two lines translate to: "You see, I want a lot. Perhaps I want everything." As for Julie in Perfect Fit, Sophia is mad about all aspects of pregnancy, breastfeeding, childbirth, and babies. She attended many of her friend's births, taught breastfeeding to WIC moms as a volunteer, started a business that handled pumps, bras, slings, etc., and gave very serious thought to working as a lactation consultant, doula or midwife once the newspaper industry died. Instead, she started writing these romance novels, and she very, very much hopes you'll enjoy them. She also writes for Curvicality.com, an online women's lifestyle magazine aimed at plus-size women. That's why Julie in Perfect Fit is plus-sized. She wanted to show that love is for everyone; not just the thinner ladies. Here are her books. Sophia Sinclair Tracy Kincaid Meet The Author Website Facebook Page On New Site with Updates ABOUT ME: The books I write are Contemporary Romance, Paranormal Romance, and Time Travel Romance.

Beth Linton Meet The Author Website Facebook Page Instagram Twitter Pinterest All Author Goodreads On New Site with Updates Beth Linton is the author of The Guardians’ Trust series – fantasy paranormal romance novels that feature passion, adventure, and shapeshifters. She wrote her first novel aged eight on her mother’s old typewriter. The (very badly written) novel is now lost in an attic but the dream of being a writer and having a book cover remained. As the years passed she devoured books hungrily. With the everyday demands of motherhood, work and daily life, she discovered the pleasure a good romance can bring… and, even better, the escape and passion a great fantasy paranormal romance offers – and so turned her hand to writing them. Beth Linton lives in North Wales, UK. Beth is often found with her laptop on her lap absorbed with her characters as her son happily plays Lego, her jungle of houseplants grows and wild birds visit her bird feeders as her husband weeds the vegetable patch. Beth was recently featured in the University of Chester’s Author’s Corner, 2020.

She covered the local community theater stories no one else wanted to cover, and she did so with enthusiasm, insisting upon a by line. Rettstatt’s creative nature steered her into a career as a semi-professional folk musician for a number of years. Finally, in 2002, she sat at a computer determined to find out if she could write a novel. That novel and three more were contracted by a small press. She moved from small press publishing to self-publishing in 2014 and has forty+ novels and novellas and several short stories in her bibliography. Six of her novels were finalists for the prestigious EPIC eBook Award, and two novels, Love, Sam and Ladies in Waiting, won the award in 2012 and 2016 respectively.

Slate Raven Slate Raven Meet The Author Website Goodreads LinkedIn Instagram Facebook ​Born and raised primarily in Illinois, Slate R. Raven started his writing career after attempting several other means of artistic expression. However, after a debilitating injury to his spine, Slate was left with the option of watching daytime television or finding something that proved to be more productive. So with that, Slate chose writing as a means of purging the turbulent emotions that coursed through his veins over being a prisoner of one's own body. The first of many novels emerged while sitting under a Laptop computer, a generous gift from his father. To pass the time during the long months of surgery and physical therapy Slate continued to write finishing his second novel, Fresh Start, which is where he was offered a contract with a publishing company along with several other of his books. After several years, Slate has made the decision to go the Indie route and has recently pulled his old novels from shelves and began again. Doctors had embedded a morphine pump in Slate’s abdomen, allowing a drop of morphine to hit the nerve directly once per hour. This allows Slate a great deal more movement and less pain than prior to the injury; as an added bonus since the amount of the morphine is so slight since delivered directly to the source, Slate isn’t forced to walk through life in a perpetual fog that oral painkillers bring about. Life has started to look a whole lot better! As of 2021 he has two novels in print, ebook and audio formats, and will be publishing 2 more novels in 2022. ​ Here are all of Slate's books Reviews Available!

She has currently settled in Ontario working for a non-profit organization and writing in her spare time. Stephanie’s love of writing came at an early age, drafting her first “real story” in Grade 2. This love of writing has continued throughout her life, and she’s found a home in telling thriller stories that challenge people to see the world with different eyes. When not writing or working, Stephanie enjoys fueling her passion for Ancient Rome and combatting her arch nemesis: her love of cookies.

Stephanie M. Matthews Leta Hawk Leta Hawk Meet The Author Amazon Page Facebook I don't remember when I knew I wanted to be an author; storytelling has always been a part of my life. Words have always fascinated me, especially the way the right words strung together could capture almost any experience and make it live for whoever was reading them. In fact, I loved writing so much that I was that one weirdo in class who would rather write a 10-page essay than take a multiple-choice exam. I have tried my hand at many kinds of writing--poetry, children's stories, short stories, novels, scripts, and the occasional song lyric (although I usually deal with parodies of popular songs rather than my own). In addition to writing about Kyrie Carter's paranormal adventures, I am also working on a cozy mystery series, and am planning a young adult series based on Kyrie's teenage children (spoiler alert). When I'm not writing, I'm a substitute teacher at the local high school, a wife, and the mother of two very active, creative, and intelligent boys and one very naughty, energetic dog. ​ Here are her books.

Richards Peter Scholes Brenda Akwar Kim Wilch Kelly Swan Taylor Alyssa Casanova Kristi Shimada Elora Canne Cynthia Myer Children's Books Authors + Cynthia Myer Cynthia Myer Meet The Author Website Facebook Author Page Facebook Plant Info Page Facebook Pet Info Page Cindy (Cynthia) Myer lives the country life in central Illinois, the U.S.A. with her husband, children, and dogs. She enjoys a great cup of hot tea while watching the sunrise over the pond and snuggling up with a good book to read and a dog to keep her feet warm. For more than two decades, Cynthia Myer spent her days teaching in a public high school, community college, or small groups such as Boy Scouts, Bible School, and Prevention programs while raising a family of three children with her husband. From a very young age, she knew she wanted to be in a profession that helped others - doctor, nurse, teacher, farmer, etc. In her early college days, she discovered tutoring and a joy in teaching others to succeed. Decades later as the education environment changed, she found herself drawn to teach and help in a different way - as an author of books. As a teacher, an urgent issue was quite apparent: our children as high school students were not well-equipped emotionally to be young adults. These students could hardly identify their feelings accurately and efficiently, much less react productively. The simplest thing (book knocked off a desk by a classmate) could inspire an extreme outburst and possibly a verbal or physical altercation. To address this issue, Cynthia began exploring WHY this was happening. The American family structure had fundamentally changed in the preceding years. Gone was the two-parent structure with family meals together and hours of honest communication. Single-parent homes, both parents forced to work longer and longer hours, overtaxed - physically and emotionally - modern parents simply had less time and energy to give to their children. Those children either learned on their own, from other adults in their lives or not at all how to deal with their emotions. Cynthia decided to address this issue by writing a series of books aimed at younger children AND the adult in their lives. (Younger children are more open and adaptable.) George the Grasshopper was born. This Read WITH Me Emotional Literacy Series book approaches common emotional and social issues facing our children. BUT that's not all! Each book includes built-in lessons/questions Cynthia wrote based on her years of teaching. It's like a road map for parents to open conversations with their children. Honest connections. Honest discussions. Both build the relationship AND emotional literacy that will help the child grow into an emotionally resilient young adult. Plans are in place for more George the Grasshopper books to address the growing concerns of our changing society. These are all of her books. Amanda DeShane Amanda DeShane Meet The Author Website Instagram Hello! My name is Amanda DeShane. I am a fairly new author, digital artist, cover designer, and lover of fantasy stories. There is nothing better than slipping into a book, to experience unlimited adventures within its pages. I enjoy reading, writing, and spending time with my family and friends. I live happily with my spouse and kids in a small British Columbia town in Canada. I have one teen and two-step children, and a mischievous cat named Thackery Binx. The children and the four-legged kid that meows are all the center of my universe. I am a fantasy writer, who thrives off world-building and intricate stories with vivid imagery and mythology angles. I started out as a children's book author, then decided I wanted to write fantasy novels for a living. Being creative with no lack of ideas and creative drive, I jumped right in with two feet. My first adult novel, Asgard Academy: The Prophecy, is a fantasy reverse harem novel. It is an intricate web of a story that takes place in both the human realm and Asgard a Norse mythology realm. Aurora, my main character grows up in foster care completely ignorant of the fact that she is not human. Until the day her hands start going off like stun guns at the ready. Readers go on a journey as she discovers her birthright and who she is. Asgard is a world full of witches, warlocks, giants, all sorts of shifters, sirens, demigods and so much more. I love mixing legends and mythology with paranormal twists. Creating worlds that are unique and an adventure that makes you cheer, laugh, cry, and rage as the main character fights for what is right or just. I can’t seem to ever just pick one genre when writing so much of my work is written with multiple genres, multiple points of view, and twists. I currently have five books in the works to hopefully release in 2021. ​ Here are all of Amanda's books. A.R. Grosjean A.R.

Rosewood, wrote her first short story when she was just thirteen years old in a school textbook, which was called, 'Looks Aren’t Everything'. During her GCSE English exam, she was supposed to write a two-page short story; but once she’d started writing, she couldn’t stop, ending up with a thirty-page story, failing the exam. In her twenties, she began writing poetry and to date, has had five of them published in various poetry publications, but, as her family and life grew busy, she found she had to stop writing. Almost two decades later though, she was inspired to write again, when she met bestselling author Jojo Moyes at the open evening of Harts Books store in Saffron Walden, Essex. A month into starting the book, her mother was diagnosed with the same disease as the main character in Reasonable Lies so again, she halted all her writing to concentrate on helping her mother through her ordeal. Thankfully, her mother recovered and told her she had to continue with the book and the rest is history as they say! T.A. Rosewood lives in North Essex with her husband, two children, and two dogs.

She was raised by a single mother and didn’t care to know her abusive biological father, instead considering her stepfather to be her dad. Playtime for her growing up was filled with creating scenarios to act out and making up dance routines to her favourite songs of the late 80s to early 90s. She discovered a love of writing in secondary school English, which was the only lesson she cared to attend, and the only GCSE’s she actually got a decent grade in. She never really had a passion for anything other than being a mother until she was one, and that’s when she decided to try her hand at writing. It started with fan fiction, about Backstreet Boys, then *NSYNC and – more recently – the TV show, Supernatural.

During her GCSE English exam, she was supposed to write a two-page short story; but once she’d started writing, she couldn’t stop, ending up with a thirty-page story, failing the exam. In her twenties, she began writing poetry and to date, has had five of them published in various poetry publications, but, as her family and life grew busy, she found she had to stop writing. Almost two decades later though, she was inspired to write again, when she met bestselling author Jojo Moyes at the open evening of Harts Books store in Saffron Walden, Essex. A month into starting the book, her mother was diagnosed with the same disease as the main character in Reasonable Lies so again, she halted all her writing to concentrate on helping her mother through her ordeal.

I immediately replied that I would write a novel. I wondered why I had replied so quickly and with such conviction. I considered college and a career in writing, but decided to go to nursing school instead. I hadn’t thought about writing a book since my adolescence. I didn't realize writing a novel was on my bucket list. Beneath A Blanket Of Snow was my first novel. Due to the wonderful reviews from readers, I decided to keep writing. My second novel, If We Had Known, was released in April 2021. I am working on a third novel for a 2022 release.

While we can neither confirm or deny this, you could say she was destined to become a writer. Melina was so young when she began writing that she can’t remember exactly when the urge began. She does remember, however, her first novel – an historical fiction story about two sisters living in an Ohio canal town in the 1840s – that she wrote at age 10. Music keeps Melina sane, and it has gotten to the point that she cannot write without it. It keeps her awake, alert, motivated and productive. Music has even inspired her fiction.

Crow Elise Smith Sunshine Rodgers Shakina Shaw Elora Canne Melina Druga Anne Hamilton Fowler Jerri Miller Ann Payton Cynthia Myer Non-Fiction Authors+ Cynthia Myer Cynthia Myer Meet The Author Website Facebook Plant Info Page Facebook Author Page Facebook Pet Info Page Cindy (Cynthia) Myer lives the country life in central Illinois, the U.S.A. with her husband, children, and dogs. She enjoys a great cup of hot tea while watching the sunrise over the pond and snuggling up with a good book to read and a dog to keep her feet warm. For more than two decades, Cynthia Myer spent her days teaching in a public high school, community college, or small groups such as Boy Scouts, Bible School, and Prevention programs while raising a family of three children with her husband. From a very young age, she knew she wanted to be in a profession that helped others - doctor, nurse, teacher, farmer, etc. In her early college days, she discovered tutoring and a joy in teaching others to succeed. Decades later as the education environment changed, she found herself drawn to teach and help in a different way - as an author of books. As a teacher, an urgent issue was quite apparent: our children as high school students were not well-equipped emotionally to be young adults. These students could hardly identify their feelings accurately and efficiently, much less react productively. The simplest thing (book knocked off a desk by a classmate) could inspire an extreme outburst and possibly a verbal or physical altercation. To address this issue, Cynthia began exploring WHY this was happening. The American family structure had fundamentally changed in the preceding years. Gone was the two-parent structure with family meals together and hours of honest communication. Single-parent homes, both parents forced to work longer and longer hours, overtaxed - physically and emotionally - modern parents simply had less time and energy to give to their children. Those children either learned on their own, from other adults in their lives or not at all how to deal with their emotions. Cynthia decided to address this issue by writing a series of books aimed at younger children AND the adult in their lives. (Younger children are more open and adaptable.) George the Grasshopper was born. This Read WITH Me Emotional Literacy Series book approaches common emotional and social issues facing our children. BUT that's not all! Each book includes built-in lessons/questions Cynthia wrote based on her years of teaching. It's like a road map for parents to open conversations with their children. Honest connections. Honest discussions. Both build the relationship AND emotional literacy that will help the child grow into an emotionally resilient young adult. Plans are in place for more George the Grasshopper books to address the growing concerns of our changing society. These are all of her books. <--Children's Books <--More to this series coming soon NonFiction Mark Bridgeman Mark Bridgeman Meet The Author Website Mark Bridgeman was born in Swindon, Wiltshire in 1965 and is now based in Highland Perthshire, Scotland.

Crow is an LGBTQ+ Author that lives in the Dallas / Fort Worth area of Texas with her two lovely roommates and two very odd dogs. She has always written for fun since she was a child. Having a hard childhood would help her make up imaginary worlds in her head to escape. In her 20's, she sat down and wrote a book. Admittedly, it wasn't very good as she had no idea about the craft of writing a novel. However, she did it anyway. Sadly, she lost the manuscript, but the story lives in her memory. As a former owner and editor of two internet magazines, she has some writing experience. In the mid-2000s, she was a member of the Fort Worth Haiku Society and was honored to be the President of the Society for a time. Her poetry was published in a compilation and in the Society publications. In November 2020, she signed up for NaNoWriMo and rewrote the story from her 20's. Having so many more skills now as an author than she did in her 20s, she was extremely glad she could add more flare to the story. Currently, she is a home health care worker, poet, writer, and independent novelist. When she isn't writing, she's reading a good book. In her viewpoint, age is just a level of experience to play to the end. By sharing her work and journey with you, she hopes we all can become better readers and authors together.

Amanda DeShane Meet The Author Website Instagram Hello! My name is Amanda DeShane. I am a fairly new author, digital artist, cover designer, and lover of fantasy stories. There is nothing better than slipping into a book, to experience unlimited adventures within its pages. I enjoy reading, writing, and spending time with my family and friends. I live happily with my spouse and kids in a small British Columbia town in Canada. I have one teen and two-step children, and a mischievous cat named Thackery Binx. The children and the four-legged kid that meows are all the center of my universe. I am a fantasy writer, who thrives off world-building and intricate stories with vivid imagery and mythology angles. I started out as a children's book author, then decided I wanted to write fantasy novels for a living. Being creative with no lack of ideas and creative drive, I jumped right in with two feet. My first adult novel, Asgard Academy: The Prophecy, is a fantasy reverse harem novel. It is an intricate web of a story that takes place in both the human realm and Asgard a Norse mythology realm. Aurora, my main character grows up in foster care completely ignorant of the fact that she is not human. Until the day her hands start going off like stun guns at the ready. Readers go on a journey as she discovers her birthright and who she is. Asgard is a world full of witches, warlocks, giants, all sorts of shifters, sirens, demigods and so much more. I love mixing legends and mythology with paranormal twists. Creating worlds that are unique and an adventure that makes you cheer, laugh, cry, and rage as the main character fights for what is right or just. I can’t seem to ever just pick one genre when writing so much of my work is written with multiple genres, multiple points of view, and twists. I currently have five books in the works to hopefully release in 2021. ​ Here are all of Amanda's books.

I'd survived my childhood, which was really saying a lot. It was time for me to enjoy life as a college student. Party with some friends, flirt and maybe even date a nice guy. It was time for me to move away from my past. When my twenty-first birthday approached, however, my mother's past returned to claim something that should be rightfully mine. I always thought it was hard having a mother that told me demons were coming for me. A mother that tried to kill me in order to save my soul. But then I started seeing a demon everywhere I went, and he told me he had a claim to my soul. I started to worry that maybe my mother knew something the rest of us didn't. Now I'll have to find a way to save myself, and prove to those closest to me that the demon I'm seeing is real.
