I write fast-paced, gritty romantic suspense. I've lived an adventurous - sometimes harebrained - life in South Africa, the Middle East, and Utah. Thanks to numerous careers and escapades (Jill of all trades, master of some) I've been lucky enough to have traveled the globe. I love to write about strong independent women and the men that support them. I try not to include any weak-ass protagonists in my books - if I ever do - you have permission to kick my typist bum. When I'm not writing about men whose beards smell of Cordite, I work as a Corporate Trainer in Utah. I love British Chocolate, and my little wigglebum 'British' Cocker Spaniel.

Born in Leeds, currently living in Huddersfield, Paula Acton is many things, an author, a mother to two amazing kids, grandmother to two gorgeous little people, and a slave to a dog, and a cat. She also has two horses which she claims are cheaper and more effective than therapy. She has a tendency to write with a dark twist but also writes the occasional romance after success in various anthologies trying out different genres. When not writing she can frequently be found wandering around randomly with her camera or with her headphones in listening to True Crime Podcasts.

Charlotte Brice started writing at the age of thirteen when her handwriting looked like a drunken spider tried to navigate its way across the page. Practicing her handwriting got a lot more interesting when her gran gave her two Rawhide books, and her imagination took over. Charlotte is left-handed and can lick her own nose. She lives in England with her husband, and many animals, four of them human. Attack chickens, confused dragons and moving rocks make up the majority of the menagerie. We can't expect much better from someone who studied fruit flies during her animal science degree and then qualified as a vet. She remembers those days fondly, when putting her arm up a cow's bottom, and socks on emus' heads was her kind of normality. Now her head is filled with tentacles and schizophrenic phoenixes.

With a degree in Criminal Justice, and a fascination with the supernatural, Black combines experience and imagination to create dramatic stories that are believable, but don’t end quite the way you would expect. An animal and nature lover, Black lives in the United States with her husband, a myriad of wild critters and two aliens disguised as cats. One of the furry darlings is rumored to be ET’s second cousin, but that has not been confirmed. Best known for her short story, "Mountain Justice," where a horse takes center stage in a story of violence and suspense, her first novel, "Race Into Murder," is also equine related. Other publications include Long Stories Short, an anthology, and three short stories, Close Your Eyes and They’re Gone, Treacherous Love, and “A Candle in the Darkness.” Contributions to Five Minutes at Hotel Stormcove, published by Atthis Arts, Rave Reviews for the Writers’ Soul, Watch RWISSA Write, and 31 Overlook Hotel complete the list.

I am a professional freelance writer with a love for urban fantasy. I am interested in spiritual evolution (my own and the planet's), the paranormal, prophetic dreaming, UFOs (Come on! Disclose, already!), transcendent experiences, "forbidden" history and archaeology, and heart math (check it out at the HeartMath Institute) among other oddities, anomalies and conundrums. I am not, however, much of a conspiracy fan. I love science as much as spirituality, and I think we will eventually understand that "God" is another name for the quantum source field. I've worked a variety of jobs over the years, some good, some not, but the activities that have always sustained me under any and all conditions (including a couple of brutal years being slapped silly by panic disorder) are reading and writing. I could always escape into a good book, no matter what else was going on around me or inside my head. It is my calling to provide this same escape, entertainment and enjoyment to others. I am married to a great guy who understands my love of writing (and absolute horror of what goes on in the corporate world), and is genuinely happy to help me escape the legal slavery that is big business. I can finally, honestly say, "It is my pleasure to serve."

Wife and mother of four, my days have been reduced to begging for the littlest to sleep so I can have time to write my books. I'm blaming my reduced schedule on Cupcake. Facebook is the best place to find me, or you can sign up for my newsletter here (https://leannryans.com) to keep up with current and upcoming projects as well as special promotions and such. I grew up on Sci-fi and Fantasy books with some of my favorite authors being Anne McCaffery and Mercedes Lackey. In 2013 I discovered paranormal romance and delved into a whole new world. After reading Omegaverse stories from Addison Cain and Nora Ash, I had the idea for The Omega Prize and decided to take a shot at writing a book of my own. The beginning was rough, it took two months to write the first five chapters, but as my 2019 New Year’s resolution I said I was going to finish the story and committed to writing every day. It didn't take long for the book to begin telling itself, and from there I just kept going. Most of my books are Omegaverse, but they span other genres like Sci-Fi, dystopian, and historical barbarians. There is even a small-town Enemies to Lovers Romance story in there. They main contain dark elements but I wouldn't call them dark romance since my alphas tend to be a little mushy in the center. I promise there's always a HEA.

Currently, he is working with several exciting projects as he prepares for his next offering to the literary world. About the book; Can you remember a time before video games? A time where kids were forced to use their i-Maginations instead of their i-Pads? Where “Tribes” were formed and innocence was lost? Where growing up and growing strong was not just for the body, but also, for the spirit? The Streets of our Youth follows the hilarious and often embarrassing adventures of Richey Storm and the Draden Tribe, a club of ten- to fourteen-year-old boys caught up in the tumultuous times of the sixties, just trying to get from one day to the next. The story opens on November 22, 1963. President Kennedy has been shot and the Draden Tribe is faced with a weekend without television. What to do? "We all chatted about how crazy someone shooting our President was and then we tried to figure out how to pass the time. We decided to form a squad of bad-asses and find out who had done such a thing! “I am going to be the 'Hulk' and go find this guy and SMASH him,’” I announced! Comic book heroes ruled! End of story. Come join Richey Storm and the Tribe as they boldly go where only the most fool hardy dare. Armed with only their imaginations, the boys tackle the challenges of boredom, the joy of the holidays, the pain of "girls" and death defying antics only those emboldened with courage born from the eternal optimism of unbridled youth would ever attempt. As we follow their exploits, we are transported back to a time before 500 channels, DVRs, laptops and zombie-zapping video games, when young boys and girls fended for themselves. They lived life to the fullest using ingenuity and creativity to invent magical worlds and dangerous excursions while shaping the hopes and dreams of a generation. The Globe!!! The Globe" is an exciting and incredibly detailed journey of three everyday folks thrown into an anything but everyday situation. They fly to Italy to face the awesome wrath of Teuates to try and win control of the Treskele globe! Funny, intense, frightening and wonderful all rolled into one great book. I would LOVE to see a movie come out of this! Ron write's in a unique and captivating way that is impossible to put down. Highly recommended!

Janina Carol (J.C.) Seal I’m from Germany, from the beautiful Black Forest area. I live in a small townhouse with my loving husband, my wonderful teenage daughter and my eighteen years old tomcat. To pay my bills, I work part time as a lab technician in cancer research. I only started writing in October 2018, but loved to read all my life. Maybe you wonder, why does someone from Germany write in English? I still remember the first English book I ever read. Staying in the USA as an exchange student when I was sixteen, I picked a random book at a public library, ending up with “Dragonsong” by Anne McCaffrey. It was the beginning of my passion for stories reaching beyond the confines of the mortal human world, and also the beginning of my love for a language that’s so much more expressive than my native tongue. When finally risking the step from reader to writer, the language was out of question. Feel free to join me in my world of fantasy, paranormal, adventure, with a bit of romance. When I’m not writing, I like playing computer games or watching crime series on TV. I’m also part of the parents’ council at my daughter’s school and a committee member of the garden club around the corner.
