Mark Stevens is an award-winning commercial writer, author and blogger (http://www.houseof8balls.com). His work has appeared on television and radio, in newspapers and magazines, online, on billboards and bookshelves. His first e-book SHORTSTUFF 1 is a collection of 8 tall stories done short, that are equal parts silly, weird, absurd, funny and far fetched. He lives with his wife and 3 children in a yurt on a vast plain in Mongolia. He doesn't really. He lives in a house in Australia. With heating.

Sue has been writing since high school but never became serious about it until a skiing accident laid her up for an entire summer and she turned on the word processor to combat the boredom. A couple years later, her first urban fantasy novel, Fade to Black, was a finalist in the RMFW Colorado Gold Writing Contest. By day, she’s a dedicated speech-language therapist in an inner city school district to pay the bills but her life as a writer is her true passion and the creative outlet keeps her sane. Sue is a member of the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers and The Pikes Peak Writers. Her creativity extends into her garden and the culinary arts. She is the second oldest of six girls with an avid reader mom and her dad, the family’s single drop of testosterone in a sea of estrogen. Fate thought it hilarious to give her a son but maternal instincts swing both ways and she didn’t break the little bugger. She lives in Colorado with her miniature dachshund, Snickers and hears from her son, Jonathan whenever he needs something.

Welcome to my page! This is where I’m supposed to tell you about myself, and I know you won’t sleep until you have the details. I was born and raised in Reading, PA, where I fully expected to grow up and become a rock star. Instead, I graduated college with a degree in Education and relocated to Arizona where I eventually completed my MBA. After spending fifteen years in the Grand Canyon State, my family moved to Denver, CO, where we currently reside. When I’m not writing or spending time with my wife and two girls, I can be found singing and playing guitar.
