Biography - I was born nicotine stained. It is true.
My mother was a dancer aged nineteen and had been smoking since the age of ten when she had gone on the stage, with a children's troupe after the end of World War 1. My father had received a classical education in a prestigious Catholic college in England, and now had a wife but no skills in a way to make a living. His family had disowned him for marrying my mother, an eighteen-year-old chorus girl. Nonetheless, she taught him to dance, and they became a double act; an acrobatic dance team. They worked towns up and down England. I was born a year later, and slept in a dressing room drawer with chorus girls as my godmothers.
Today,I write Thrillers and live in Northern California. My Book, 'Who's Killing All The Lawyers is the first of a series of five. My protagonists, Agent Susan Koski and Agent Joseph Falk are based on two SOE agents (Special Operations Executive.) I met in Vienna, Austria, during the Cold War several months after WW II ended. British Army Intelligence trained several of us to search for Nazi fugitives by mingling with the general population and gather information for counter intelligence. My unnamed SOE couple taught us vital essentials along with the basics of the most dangerous game-- man; hunting man.

Book Description:
Publication Date: October 25, 2011
The immortal soul of King Rexa, is reunited with his beloved queen. But now the princess is kidnapped and the battle begins again. A darker, more malevolent force is in control and the free world is set to burn.
In a world ravaged by war, prophesy says the Awakener will come. Sand must risk everything to take the battle to the next level. But who is the mysterious Leader, who holds the invading enemy in thrall?
A fantasy novel of 86,500 words, Awakening Sand is the second adventure in the Secrets of the Revealers, continuing the story begun in Revealing Rexa.
From the Author:
This book has been with me for most of my life. The first tentative scenes were written down as a young teenager. The first draft was complete by the end of 1996. The novel went through several edits until the fourth draft was complete at the end of 1999. Then life took over and the book was put on a shelf.er ten years later, I stumbled across the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award via a post on Facebook. The manuscript reached the semi-finals of ABNA 2011. With the excellent feedback from the ABNA judges and Amazon Reviewers and the expertise of a professional editor and designer, I began work on the final edit.
I was able to improve on the lives and loves of my characters in ways that I would never have been courageous enough to do when I was younger. The book was split and I began work developing both halves separately. This volume is the second.

Birthright by: R. J. Palmer
http://rjpalmer.blogspot.com and http://www.headwingnut.com
Book DescriptionPublication Date: August 31, 2010
What if the next stage of evolution was caused by the oversight of man and what if that oversight was a simple medical mistake?
Raine Donnelly is born three months premature by emergency surgery after his critically injured mother is admitted to the hospital, having been the victim of a drunk driver though her early expectant state is not discovered until after a series of x-rays are performed to assess the nature and extent of her injuries.
Now as an adult, Raine knows about none of this and lives a quiet, functional and strictly routine life in Colorado though his life begins to spiral hopelessly out of control as he begins to have blackouts and believes he's hallucinating. He also starts to have the most dastardly effect on electrical equipment as for whatever reason, machines malfunction or short out completely when he gets anywhere near them while he's upset or confused.
His doctor thinks he may have a brain tumor and insists on further testing though that may prove somewhat difficult when a nameless and faceless someone keeps trying to put bullet holes in him and when he meets the wife and children about whom he has no memory, his life becomes even more complicated, partially because his wife is furious at him because she's thought him dead for three years.
Now, drawing on all his courage and what little understanding he can piece together with the help of his wife, Raine must unravel the mystery of his past and discover and accept who and what he is without getting he and his family killed.
RJ Palmer's next novel, Sins of the Father, has been released on Amazon Kindle as of 05/01/2012.
About the Author:
Hi there.
I'm R.J. Palmer and I'm told that I should write a little something about myself at which point I should probably tell you that if you slog through this I give you kudos, you've done very well. You see, there is nothing the least bit interesting about me and in truth sometimes I believe that I live vicariously through characters of my own creation in which case I should probably seek professional help straightaway.
I could bore you with dry facts recited by rote but that would be contra-indicative of my personality type which demands that I at least make this somewhat interesting regardless of the enormity of the task involved. Easier said than done I can assure you.
Good God, you guys want to know MORE about me? Okay, fine then. Here goes. My husband has longish brown hair and pretty hazel eyes. Ooohhhh, wait. That had nothing to do with me, did it? You can blame Wodke Hawkinson for this bio because you really got me onto having to think about the least related answer while tying it all together.
Should I get more serious now? Nah! Here's the 411 on the Head Wingnut in Charge...Or at least I am in my head. I'm an awesome writer and I buy in bulk whenever possible because the dozens of kids that I have eat a LOT! Okay, so that was a bit of an exaggeration but they seem like dozens when they all get going. Can I get an "Amen?" And why does it seem like all of them like to get an ornery attitude at the exact same time? Do they synchronize their watches and plan this stuff ahead of time? One of my favorite colors is that orangey yellow of the school bus even though it's a horrible eye sore.
Okay, now that you all know I'm a writer with a husband and children, I could let you know that I like to drink Guinness stout and I got mad when they took the widget out of the bottle. You know, that little plastic thingy that made noise when you were getting the stuff that looks like coffee grounds (Mmmm...coffee) out of the bottom of your beer bottle. I think people decided that the widget took up too much space that could've been better used for more beer. Not that I don't understand, I guess I just like crunchy beer or something like that. I like to chew that last swallow of my stout. I'm going to stop this bio before it gets any more idiotic.

Book Description Publication Date: December 22, 2012
Swords forged by dragon magic. Ancient rivalries flaring into all-out war. Dragon Riders caught up in a clash of hidden powers. A world hangs in the balance.
Dragon Blade, the final book in The War of the Blades, is the epic sequel to the story begun in Dragon Fate. Delno Okonan, his draconic bond-mate, Geneva, and their allies among the Dragons and Riders are once again caught up in events controlled by unseen forces. They must uncover the real secrets behind Corolan’s death and the Rorack insurgency to defeat a threat that could destroy them all and leave the world they know forever altered.
J.D. Hallowell Biography
I'm a 50-ish father and husband who is fortunate enough to have lived an interesting and active life. I've had one two-book fantasy series, War of the Blades, published, and I have several other fantasy and SF projects in the works. I like to keep many irons in the fire at once, so my work experiences include such diverse occupations as automotive mechanic, cowboy, photographer, psychiatric tech, paralegal assistant, bouncer, and medical billing clerk. I studied martial arts for over 30 years. I've been a soldier and an emergency medical technician, and I served as the chief of a volunteer ambulance squad. I was a diamond courier for a while, and later owned a working kennel where I trained dogs for law enforcement as well as personal protection, and most recently, I've trained one service dog, for myself. I don't get around much now (I've been shot, stabbed, blown up, bludgeoned, poisoned, and even had harsh language directed toward me, if you can believe it, and it takes its toll), but I write whenever I can. I have pretty wide-ranging interests and hobbies, including, but not limited to, history, archery, paleontology, cooking, RPGs (the games, not the weapons) and making jewelry. I live on the Space Coast of Florida with my wife, my son, and my Great Dane service dog, until I can convince the rest of my family and friends to move to Arizona.

I've had one two-book fantasy series, War of the Blades, published, and I have several other fantasy and SF projects in the works. I like to keep many irons in the fire at once, so my work experiences include such diverse occupations as automotive mechanic, cowboy, photographer, psychiatric tech, paralegal assistant, bouncer, and medical billing clerk. I studied martial arts for over 30 years. I've been a soldier and an emergency medical technician, and I served as the chief of a volunteer ambulance squad. I was a diamond courier for a while, and later owned a working kennel where I trained dogs for law enforcement as well as personal protection, and most recently, I've trained one service dog, for myself. I don't get around much now (I've been shot, stabbed, blown up, bludgeoned, poisoned, and even had harsh language directed toward me, if you can believe it, and it takes its toll), but I write whenever I can. I have pretty wide-ranging interests and hobbies, including, but not limited to, history, archery, paleontology, cooking, RPGs (the games, not the weapons) and making jewelry. I live on the Space Coast of Florida with my wife, my son, and my Great Dane service dog, until I can convince the rest of my family and friends to move to Arizona.

Legend tells of a great king, who used a magical charm to vanquish a terrible foe. Now the magic is lost and the ancient enemy is back.
When Miyam embarks on a dangerous quest to find the king's talisman, she comes face to face with the secretive world of the revealers, stirring memories of a life she once loved but was forced to leave. Her growing attachment to Evelar, the powerful and enigmatic revealer, takes her on a personal journey as she begins to believe her onetime dream might yet be made real.
A dark horde stands sizzling in the sunlight and travels by night, burning everything in its path. A lost princess is forced to surrender her innocence and a troubled prince is called to rekindle a lost power. A hardened revealer is required to give in to temptation and a talented young woman begins to reconcile her shattered life and rediscover her lost destiny.
REVEALING REXA invites you to lose yourself in a world where life is simpler and love is forever. Where magic still exists and where your troubles can still be ended with a loyal companion and a good sharp sword, or even just a bucket of water.

"Spirited Away" A Novel of the Stolen Irish

About the Author:
Maggie Plummer is a writer and editor who lives in northwest Montana. Along the winding trail to becoming a novelist, she has worked as a journalist, book publicist, census enumerator, school bus driver, field interviewer, waitress, post office clerk, fish processor, library clerk, retail salesperson, Good Humor girl, fishing boat first mate, race horse hot walker, apple picker, and bus girl. Maggie is the author of "Passing It On: Voices from the Flathead Indian Reservation," published in 2008 by Salish Kootenai College Press (Pablo, Montana). This is her first published novel.
From the Author:
A few years ago, I was reading about Irish history and stumbled across this information:During Oliver Cromwell's Reign of Terror in the 1650's, a majority of Ireland's Catholic population was either slaughtered, exiled to the west, or sold into slavery in the Caribbean. My jaw dropped and I did a triple-take, amazed. How could it be that I'd never heard of that? Others hadn't either.
The more I read about Cromwell's Reign of Terror in books and Internet articles, the hotter my Irish-American blood boiled. These massacred, ousted, or enslaved people were my ancestors. I had to write something about this obscure yet pivotal period of Irish history.
That is how this, my first published novel, came to be. My amazing main character, Freddy, is an "O'Brennan" from County Kilkenny, because my own Irish grandmother was a Brennan from County Kilkenny. With the exception of Cromwell, all of the characters in the novel are fictional. The story, however, is based on historical accounts of events that took place.In 1649 Cromwell led an invasion of Ireland that many historians call genocide, or ethnic cleansing. During the 1650's, Ireland lost about 41 percent of its population. The infamous Irish Famine of 1845 to 1852, by comparison, resulted in a loss of 16 percent of the population. Cromwell hated Catholicism and wanted to punish Irish Catholics for the rebellion of 1641. Catholicism was banned. Priests were wanted men. Irish Catholics were murdered, thrown off their land, or "spirited away" to the Caribbean. An estimated 100,000 Irish people, mostly women and children, were sold to sugar plantation owners and literally worked to death. Some were flogged to death. They toiled long days and suffered horrific conditions, disease, starvation, and torture. "The curse of Cromwell upon you" is still a popular Irish saying. To this day, Irish mothers threaten their misbehaving children with the ultimate punishment: "Cromwell's going to get you!" The bitterness caused by what took place during the 1650's has been a
powerful source of Irish nationalism for more than 350 years. Irish slavery was an atrocity that should not be forgotten. I find it outrageous that so few know about it. My hope is that this novel will help bring it to light.
Book Description
Publication Date:August 23, 2012
It's May 1653. When young Frederica (Freddy) O'Brennan and her sister Aileen trust a stranger on an empty beach in western Ireland, they inadvertently place themselves in the crosshairs of Cromwell's notorious Reign of Terror. Freddy awakens in the crammed hold of a slave ship bound for Barbados. She and Aileen endure the gruesome voyage only to be wrenched apart when purchased at auction by sugar plantation owners from different islands. Freddy is left alone to face the brutal realities of life as a female Irish slave on a seventeenth century Barbados plantation. As she struggles to survive the ordeal, Freddy's harrowing experiences paint an intimate, compelling portrait of 1650's Irish and African slavery in the Caribbean.

Book Description:
Publication Date: July 12, 2011
FBI Special Agent Pilar Campos lives and works in a man's world. She loves her job because the only interaction she has with people is pointing her gun at them and arresting them. She's a smart ass with a temper and is not above breaking bones if someone disagrees with her. Needless to say, she doesn't have many friends. She enjoys the fact that she inspires fear in her coworkers.
Pilar and her partner, Rick, have been executing surveillance on the Snowflake Militia Group for two years. Everything was going just fine with the twenty-seven million dollar operation until she was forced to shoot and kill Thorne Baker, the brother of Boone Baker, the self proclaimed leader of the militia group. Her life would never be the same.
Boone Baker initiated a one million dollar contract on Pilar's life and would go to any length to avenge his brother's death. Deputy Director Greg Olsen knows that he has to get his best agent into protective custody, but he also knows that she won't go even if he orders her to. She'll stay and fight to the end. The only reasonable action he can take is to hatch a plan to have her tucked away at a ranch in Northern Arizona owned by Amos Thomas, a man that dislikes people with as much if not more fervor than Pilar.
Away from the city, Pilar's life is transformed. She finds peace at the ranch that she had never felt before. She has a special bond with the animals that transfixes even the most seasoned ranch hands. She learns to open herself to the people at the ranch and develops close bonds with them. She falls in love with Amos, who wants no part of a relationship. Unfortunately for Amos, Pilar knows how he thinks. He is, after all, just like her and that makes his actions predictable. Pilar knows just how to handle him.
Unable to locate the woman that killed his brother, Boone Baker goes to extreme measures to draw her out in the open. In one fell swoop, he will destroy her life as she knows it. Will she be strong enough to continue on, or will he get his wish and kill her?
Author Biography:
I've been an avid reader for years. To my husband's dismay, I have bookshelves full of books, rooms full of books, boxes full of books. My cars have books in them. I just can't seem to get rid of them after I read them. You just never know when you will want to read it again, right?
About two years ago, my husband gave me the dream gift, a Kindle. It was love at first sight and my first foray into the world of ebooks. To say the least, I am a technologically challenged person but when a reader, such as I, is told that you can have the book you want to read in seconds, I'm going to do whatever it takes to learn how to use it as quickly as possible.
While I still have books everywhere, I no longer take ten or twelve books with me when I go on vacation. The only thing I need is my Kindle. It never leaves my purse.
My genre of choice is romance with a paranormal twist. My authors of choice are Diana Palmer, Iris Johansen, Catherine Coulter, Jill Gregory and of course, the queen, Nora Roberts. I am also very partial to Michael Connelly, who is not a romance author but damn that man can write!
In my life prior to becoming an author, I was a Legal Assistant/Office Manager for a wonderful local estate planning attorney (no criminals that I know of). Prior to that, I also worked my way up the ladder in a large corporation, from payroll clerk to supervising nine employees in operational accounting.
When my children, Shandelle and Pilar, were small, I took a few years off to be a full-time mom and help my husband with his accounting work for his auto repair shop.
After, Michael, my husband, sold his business, he changed professions and started working for a national construction company.
Michael and I raised two beautiful, strong women so that's who I write about. The women in my books are strong individuals that have moments of weakness and frailty to work through.

Book Description:
Publication Date: July 12, 2011
FBI Special Agent Pilar Campos lives and works in a man's world. She loves her job because the only interaction she has with people is pointing her gun at them and arresting them. She's a smart ass with a temper and is not above breaking bones if someone disagrees with her. Needless to say, she doesn't have many friends. She enjoys the fact that she inspires fear in her coworkers.
Pilar and her partner, Rick, have been executing surveillance on the Snowflake Militia Group for two years. Everything was going just fine with the twenty-seven million dollar operation until she was forced to shoot and kill Thorne Baker, the brother of Boone Baker, the self proclaimed leader of the militia group. Her life would never be the same.
Boone Baker initiated a one million dollar contract on Pilar's life and would go to any length to avenge his brother's death. Deputy Director Greg Olsen knows that he has to get his best agent into protective custody, but he also knows that she won't go even if he orders her to. She'll stay and fight to the end.

Book Description:
On Christmas Eve 2004 in a small Ohio town, John Arnold, a retired U.S. Senator dines on what will be the last meal of his life—this life anyway. His first life, the one lived as Bernard Baker, began in Victorian London in 1884 and ended on Christmas Eve in a 1965 prison fire. People think that Bernard Baker died that night. They’re wrong. What happened was much worse than the horrific fire that claimed the lives of hundreds of inmates, trapped in cells that refused to open. From the swirling darkness of another world, an old man summoned the Devil’s Fire. While demons fed, Bernard Baker received his reward—everything John Arnold, his young cellmate possessed—John’s youth, his likeness and his talents—everything but John's ability to love. It's 2004 and time for another reward. Time for Devil's Fire again.
Biography:
I graduated from UCLA, worked briefly as an actress before raising a family in Reno, Nevada. I spent several years casting film and television projects, and later taught English in the Los Angeles public school system. Needing to escape from the daily swirl of paper airplanes, gum wads and students texting while ignoring my threats, I decided to write a horror novel. The result is "Devil's Fire,"a tale inspired by a family story. "Virtual Enterprises, Inc., my second novel is science fiction. Social satire, soap opera and morality tale, it deals with life after death in a virtual reality computer program.

Book Description:
Publication Date: August 25, 2012
After receiving a mysterious message Gerard is left with more questions than answers concerning the well-being of his friend. Gerard could not see any reason for staying where he was, as yet another leak letting the dismal storm outside drip relentlessly on the floor next to him. Just another reminder of how unfair life has been for him. Gerard hopes he is not setting off on what he fears to be more of a rescue mission than a visit.
Gerard's concern over the welfare of his friend continues to grow, when on his arrival he is nowhere to be found. There is no trace of his friend only a journal talking of unspeakable terrors and creatures scratching at his window at night. The journal goes on to speak of mysterious phantoms he fears mean to kill him in revenge for a heinous crime he alludes to.
During his search near the bogs, Gerard finds himself caught up in a nightmare scene. Gerard stares in disbelief at a great winged creature. Is this a dream brought on by the entries in the journal? Gerard is not sure he wants to find out.
Biography:
I have often wondered what they based campfire stories on. Where did they get their ideas for creating the fantasy thriller, horror stories and legends? I wonder how many people other than myself have asked; what if they were not stories at all.
Taking this into consideration I have decided to turn my passion for reading and writing about the unknown, the undead, and the mysterious. Some times I try to create stories to explain away my fears. This unfortunately does not always work.
http://www.weaverofshadows.com/
Recently I started to write a book based on possessed Victorian, Harlequin and baby dolls. I clearly realized trying to control my fears through writing was not working when I took my Grand Daughters gift of a musical doll I had for her and locked it up in the shed outside.
I do this because I love doing it. I love entertaining people and taking them on a journey.

Book Description:
Publication Date: July 7, 2012
Sure, Jane Wilson had some problems. As in, she disliked her job and her stepson disliked her. Yet, for the most part, she couldn't complain too loudly. Her new husband, Sam, was a wonderful - and gorgeous - man; her beloved - and ugly - old dog, Devil, was weathering his age well. So, with all that in mind, Jane was looking forward to the holidays. Then along came Bambi…
And Jane was not prepared for the deplorable and depraved vindictiveness soon to befall her at the hands of her husband's unstable ex-wife. For Bambi had decided that the Christmas season was the perfect time to begin her psychotic destruction of Jane and all that she held dear. The results are not pretty.
***Approx. 45,000 words (Forewarning: Bambi is a huge fan of the "F" word)***
EXCERPT:
Jane tore down the hall and rammed her husband with the force of a linebacker, almost incoherent in her rapid-fire description of the grisly discovery.
Together, they went through the living room; Sam examining a couple of the corpses with professional detachment before disposing of the bodies, Jane wincing all the way.
Together, they went back to the kitchen to talk. Sam had a beer. Jane did, too.
Then, together, they went to the bedroom to change into clean clothes where the twelfth mouse lay in gory splendor on the bed. Sam fought to keep his composure while Jane lost hers…Devil never left the kitchen.

Barbara Ebel is a physician-turned-author who sprinkles credible medicine into her novels, but her characters and plots take center stage. She has lived up and down the US East Coast and now resides in a wildlife corridor in Tennessee. "Perfect for writing," she says.
Her adult fiction books are the 2012 bestselling romantic suspense medical mystery Operation Neurosurgeon: You never know...who's in the OR and Outcome, a Novel: There's more than a hurricane coming... Her self-help, healthy living book is Younger Next Decade: After Fifty, the Transitional Decade, and What You Need to Know.
"Doctor Barbara" has a trained therapy dog, Chester. She used him as the template to inspire good behavior in children and is both the writer and illustrator of the Chester the Chesapeake Series; she uses real pictures and the stories are from Chester's point of view.

Book Description:
Publication Date: July 12, 2012
Tlaloc, worshiped by the ancient Aztecs as a god of rains, storms and disease, has come to Corpus Christi, Texas, with an ultimatum: He will be worshiped as in times past, including Human sacrifice, or he will destroy the Texas coastline with a hurricane. It’s up to Police Detective Kat Morales, her Elven partner Tevis and the rest of an elite team headed by the Wizard Arvandus to stop Tlaloc before he makes good on his threat. The adventures that began for Kat and Tevis in Shadow Path continue as they race
against time, and between worlds, to defeat the Stormcaller.
P.L. Blair is a native of Tyler, Texas. After a few years as a "Winter Texan" - spending part of the year in Rockport where her family lives, she has returned to Sheridan, Wyo., where she has lived full-time for more than 20 years. She has worked for newspapers for more than 30 years. She is author of the Portals series, novels that blend fantasy, detective mysteries and an occasional touch of horror. In addition to her human family, Blair shares her life with a basset hound, a long-haired dachshund, a Jack Russell terrier (aka the Jackrabbit Terror), and a cat. Shilo, the basset hound in the photo with Blair, was humanely euthanized in April 2012 due to old age and the complications of cancer.

Book Description:
Publication Date: July 15, 2012
A suspicious rash of suicides has the police baffled to the
point they decide to enlist the help of a local private investigator. Rochester
accompanies an inspector to yet another 'suicide' and decides to knock on a few
doors... He receives the same response from everyone who is willing to open their
door and speak with him. The victim lived alone, had no family, no friends,
just a black cat with strange markings on his side. After comparing notes on
the other suspected cases a pattern begins to emerge. The one thing all of the
crime scenes seemed to have in common was that shortly before their death, each
person had taken in a black cat.
This would have been
of only minor interest to Rochester, if it had not been for his housemate
finding a cat matching the description in the reports, sitting outside their
door.
Biography:
I have often wondered what they based campfire stories on. Where did they get their ideas for creating the fantasy thriller, horror stories and legends? I wonder how many people other than myself have asked; what if they were not stories at all.
Taking this into consideration I have decided to turn my passion for reading and writing about the unknown, the undead, and the mysterious. Some times I try to create stories to explain away my fears. This unfortunately does not always work.
http://www.weaverofshadows.com/
Recently I started to write a book based on possessed Victorian, Harlequin and baby dolls. I clearly realized trying to control my fears through writing was not working when I took my Grand Daughters gift of a musical doll I had for her and locked it up in the shed outside.
I do this because I love doing it. I love entertaining people and taking them on a journey.

Each day he presents the same garish appearance at Nathan's open door, the same maddening stare. Each day the sameness eats away at Nathan, until he seriously fears for his sanity.

Book Description;
Publication Date: February 27, 2012
Something is wrong with Jane. She is still living in her childhood home with her parents. She can't stop drinking, keep a job or get her life together. She goes to therapy, and her therapist believes that she is repressing a memory. She tries to help her uncover the truth of what happened one traumatic night in her long ago past.
Jane tries to stay sober and goes to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings as if it were a full time job. During one of the meetings she sees a picture in the newspaper of her blue Chevette being dragged up from the bottom of Lake Winnebago. But that car went in the lake 20 years ago. Why are they dragging it up now? She can't remember what happened that night, but she must remember. She must remember what happened the night of the party.
Biography:
Anthea Carson was born in Wichita Falls, Texas, but kidnapped by a group of recovering alcoholics and raised in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, home to more taverns per square inch than any city in the United States. Instead of majoring in something useful, she got a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. With the fifty-cent cup of coffee she got as a result of this degree, she then became a tournament chess player, which meant an income of negative $3,000 per year. She has won such National awards as"Female Game 60 champion of 2003," and is frequently listed in the top 100 chess playing women in the U.S. Chess Federation's list of top chess players. She has worked as a chess coach in the schools since 1999. She is the co-author of "How to Play Chess Like an Animal," a children's chess book. Anthea has been playing chess and writing fiction since childhood. Although her favorite authors are Faulkner, Proust, T.S. Eliot and Joyce, her greatest literary influence is Beatrix Potter. She has several published novels and short stories, and many more on the way, including more chess books. Her novel The Dark Lake, about a madwoman from Oshkosh, Wisconsin is in no way autobiographical.

Book Description:
Publication Date: November 25, 2011
Hannah Jordan's life is shattered when she walks in on the double homicide of her parents. Forced to leave her home, Hannah desperately seeks a way to escape her pain. When she meets the seemingly perfect Josh, she believes she has finally found her safe haven. Or has she?
As Hannah's mind compels her to relive that night, she is disturbed by the idea that she is forgetting something important. Aided by her best friend, Matt, she begins to uncover clues indicating that what she had believed was a simple home invasion was actually something much more sinister. And the killer is still out there.
Finding My Escape is a young adult novel mixing romance with suspense and a twist of the paranormal.
Biography:
I fell in love with reading prose in the third grade when I first ran across "Little Women", but it was my fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Greer, who gave me the desire to tell stories. Every day after lunch, Mrs. Greer would read to our class: "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "Alice in Wonderland", and "Charlotte's Web" to name a few. Those stories captured my imagination and birthed the desire to tell stories of my own. Fun fact: I was on my college dance team. *blush*

SCIENCE FICTION
"Paradox Equation,"
By: Sharon Reddy
Author site on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Sharon-L-Reddy/e/B00512E67K/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_pop_1
Book DescriptionPublication Date: April 1, 2011
Science Fiction Paranormal Action-Adventure
All ten novels
1.15 million words
Sample download is the entire first book!
First published in 1993, this is the masterpiece of the first decade of my work. I won two FanQ's, the international fan quality writing awards, in 1992, for the first two stories I'd ever written. My publisher, Bill Hupe, told me I might be too good to continue writing fan fiction. Five women asked me to write for them, after I received my awards. Since I understood what they meant, I was the one to do it. This work grew out of ideas in my Dr. Who zine, but Gallant is not Dr. Who. It began with the question, "What is my 'perfect' time-traveling heroic archetype." So, in memory of Bill, and for those women and Colin Baker, my muse, who said, "Write," twenty years after its conception, I once again, offer it for your enjoyment.
The Knights Gallant chose to use their time travel technology to defend life in the multiverse. A chain of circumstance that kills a billion people can only be broken as it happens. While fulfilling their pledge, they discover they can only exist if they create themselves. They must solve the Paradox Equation of their existence.
This is a single story organized as a ten novel series. Of course, there are a lot of stories in that one. I really disliked not being able to find book three of a six-novel series. I don't sell the books of Paradox Equation separately. I decided that when I realized "story to here" for the fourth book would make it about a third again as long. This "family saga" has six generations in it. The default sample is 10%. That's the first full book and a piece, to decide if you like it. Since I get the same royalty at $9.99 as $20.99, you keep the difference."
BiographyPeople started telling me I should be a writer in about second grade, 19...53. Although the record of my forty year flirtation with higher education does appear to be training for it, I said, "If you can't say it in fourteen lines, you're complicating it too much." I thought, "I get paid for poetry and I am not doing that much work. I've got plenty to read," and then I ran out. I ordered a fan fiction story, and I wrote one, and another, and several, and a couple books... I won two Fan-Q's and a woman said, "Write for us. You can do it." Colin Baker said, "Write." I said, "Yes, Colin." Anyone who's read that fan fiction will see Paradox Equation began as a continuation. I was making the Sixth Doctor my archetypical time-traveling hero. It was time to leave fan fiction. The story concepts were good. The Doctor wasn't the hero who belonged in them. That was twenty years ago, spring of 1992.
I am a talespinner. I shall spin you a tale of heroes of the wide velvet night.
(c)1993 A Talespinner's Web http://www.targetyonder.com
I write science fiction romance, but it's the literary definition of romance. Swashbuckle, Baby, in "white tie and tails." High romantic fantasies, million word mysteries, family sagas, statesmen, gurus and wise immortals. Loving dads, sons and brothers, and of course, the women who understand and appreciate them. High fashion and landscape design. Materials and art, I use the reader's imagination to create them. This is where physiology comes in. The books are built to be read very fast, specifically for the way women visualize. Research on the soap operas of the fifties, trends in international populist (fan) fiction, technological development, and above all, long-term entertainment value. It has to be good in reruns. The intent is create a body of work that's just fun to read, in spurts or bursts over decades. Ethics, responsibility, nobless oblige, the power of money, the use of prestige. I write good guys win. Period. They're fantasies for women. Men with lots of muscle say, "I love you," a lot.
Most of what is currently published was written in the first decade, 1991-1999, before Mother Nature changed my personal definition of "mature audience." I hope you'll remain with me as I and my work mature and enjoy the second decade of my work now being published, as well.
I've lived many places and visited far more. My current residence is on a high mesa in New Mexico, in the United States, where I am engaged in a habitat restoration project.
Explanation of the Pilots Group:
Some of these works have been sitting on my hard drive close to twenty years and they're no fun for anyone just sitting there. They're exactly what they've been titled, pilots, like for a TV series. It is my intent and hope that other writers will choose to continue the adventures of the characters. There are only three restrictions. Don't kill off my heroes, don't make good guys bad guys and give my story credit if you publish. Yes, you may publish and make money on your stories. I loved reading and writing fan fiction, but the limitations on it could be frustrating, so... Have fun with these works that specifically don't have them.

How would those at the highest levels of government and power react when they learn of classified technology which would enable them to totally control others…..remotely?
Darren Vance propelled his biotech company to national prominence; but this new microscopic device, intended to revolutionize science and medicine, ignites covert attention from the White House and Beijing. When the First Lady and a Chinese General plot the theft of this technology, they swerve two powerful countries onto a collision course. Can they be stopped?
Betrayal, blackmail, treason and murder thrust the White House toward looming peril, where millions could die.
The nightmare is just beginning.
Biography: R.W. Graves
Born in San Diego to an elementary school teacher and a homemaker. He graduated from San Diego State University with a double major in biology and history and a minor in journalism. After college, he stayed in his home town working in commercial real estate. Later, he opened his own agency, interacting with private development companies, as well as the politicians governing their pursuits. Years of observing and learning how differing factions promoted their political views into creating projects, supplied Graves with valuable insights.
Those insights brought him back to an unfulfilled desire to write a novel. Long an admirer of writers such as Robert Ludlum, Ken Follett, Tess Gerritsen, Michael Crichton and Vince Flynn, Graves launched more aggressively into novel writing about 15 years ago. In addition to his first novel, Blank Slate, his second book, Moving Parts, will be released soon. He's currently working on his third.

Where would you draw the line between right and wrong?
When a wanted hacker from the '80's resurfaces with the means and intent to overthrow what he perceives to be a corrupt government, this question becomes of paramount importance to the future of the country. Scott Carver is asked to make this decision when the hacker asks him to help plan a revolution. While eluding authorities for decades, M.O.D. has pirated trillions of dollars in funds and equipment for his rebellion. He aims to topple the government in the name of the Constitution and its founding fathers. Is he maniacal? ... or is he right?
J. C. Allen was born and raised in the Charleston, WV area. He started writing as a way to stay connected to his children, to entertain them as they grew. Having written over 20 novels - ranging from political thrillers to teen fiction - he has four titles published to date: M.O.D., Novel Ideas, and Chronicles of Time: Books One and Two.To see some of the upcoming titles, check out J.C.
