J. W. Jones

I was born in Dayton OH. but moved to Detroit Mi. after mothers passing. I went to an all girl school which explains my 28 tattoos. I am obsessed with all things horror and just movies in general. I collect medieval weapons and have been told my genealogy makes me part Viking, so when I depart this mortal coil I am expecting a Viking funeral but with bagpipes. Blaze of glory and loud as hell! Writing my very first novel. Part horror, fantasy, sex and violence, with a little quantum physics thrown in for good measure. One of my other great passions are animals. Love them all and fight for their rights everyday.

Vic Tomlinson

I graduated from the University of Richmond with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English Literature. I have been a Member of Phi Beta Kappa since March 20, 1969.

I have a Master of Public Administration Degree from Penn State University. I worked as a budget analyst for Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond and Henrico County, Virginia.

I spent most of my career in public health as a public health advisor with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in sexually transmitted diseases, tuberculosis control and immunizations. I was assigned to multiple areas including Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Boston, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Texas, Louisiana, and Atlanta. I retired with 30 plus years of federal service in December, 2011.

Since I retired, I have written and published two action-thriller novels, "Man of Action," "Call Me Razor," and a recent book of poetry on Amazon. The book of poetry is "An Odyssey of Love, Nature & Life." It consists of 40 poems. Although it has only been on the market since the latter part of May, it has received over 20 five-star reviews. This book is also available as an audiobook and has been translated into French. I hope to publish another book of poetry during 2017. In addition, I am currently working on a children's book, "Life with Charlie."

I am currently taking an online editing course. It will be completed by April 7 and I look forward to doing some editing work for nonfiction books and papers and possibly fiction as well.

My wife, Susan, and I moved from Atlanta to Austin in March, 2012 to be near our daughter and our two grandchildren. My wife and I enjoy walking in the area, listening to music, eating the barbecue, burgers, and great tacos that Austin offers, and spending time with family and friends.

Vanya Vetto

is an avid traveler. He's a proponent of anti-traveling and typos, and the occasional repeat chapter. He's usually writing on the fly in hot spots of Asia -- check out Dirty Little War or Garuda's Travels.

He's best reviewer and fan so far would have to be Jake Needham and Ronnie Shaw. It seems that only America has discovered him. Some call him a cross between Jack K and Hunter S T, but Vanya is too busy filing to worry about such flattering distinctions.

Vanaya has also written a few novels, based on his travels. He's still desperately seeking an editor.

Sara Castro

was born and raised in the north side city of Chicago. Both her parents are Colombian natives. Sara's mother performed in plays when she was a teenager and her a father was a musician. She looked up to her mother for inspiration. Sara considers her mother a very brave and hard working woman for raising her four kids as a single parent while putting herself through school for a psychology degree. Castro says she gets her work ethic and determination from her mother. Castro comes from a big family of musically inclined aunts and uncles which in turn explains why she's been involved in the arts in some capacity: singing, acting and dancing. She attended a bilingual magnet grammar school where she learned about different cultures and the arts. Throughout her childhood she developed an enrichment for both her cultures; Sara is proud of her Colombian American roots.


Castro attended Columbia College Chicago for a bachelors degree in the arts and Journalism. Her first job out of college was a Reporter for CBS Palm Springs, California. She quickly realized hard news was not her forte which led her to start her own production company producing tourist entertainment television shows which she host and wrote. A couple years later Sara had the itch to return to her roots. She took a leap of fate and moved to Los Angeles to become a full-time actress. Castro has been living her dream ever since. She's done her share of character work in different independent films and has established a credible name for herself in Hollywood. She's best known for her role of Carmen in "The Shift" starring Danny Glover.

Liane Moonraven

started writing stories just about the time she was able to hold a pencil. Growing up in pre-Internet days, Liane acquired “pen pals” from around the world that, for a time, sated her love for writing. She wrote a LOT but it wasn’t until she attended college and enrolled in a Creative Writing course, that she began to take her writing seriously. She was strongly encouraged by her professor to hone her talent because Liane had “a natural gift for story-telling”.

Moonraven published her first award-winning novel in 2012 and followed up by publishing other shorter stories and novellas. She also joined a few writers’ groups and that’s when her writing really took off. As a role play writer (yes, in a King Arthur role play group!), writing with some the best writers on the Internet, Liane learned the sacred art of character development and weaving intricate plots and storylines. She practiced precision writing by participating (and winning) drabble contests, often landing on exactly one hundred words in the first shot. Making it to becoming a Finalist in one of the NYC Midnight writing contests, Liane continued to work at honing and polishing her gift.

By 2015, Liane had written her first full feature film script and also created The Carmen Online Theater Group, where she is Writer, Director and Executive Director of the online network. With her experience as an FM radio personality and a seasoned podcaster, Liane was able to combine all her talents into one project for the first time.

Moonraven began writing the first few episodes of her audio theater horror program, titled, The Burbs, an all original series that is based on actual true events that she experienced while living a certain suburb for ten years.

In April 2016 Moonraven joined forces with cinematographer, Ian Dangerfield from the UK and penned a script for the short film, Clarington - Darkness Awakens, which would serve as a prequel to the audio horror serial, The Burbs. Dangerfield is known for his work on the BBC, Skye, Channel Four and many other media outlets in England. The Darkness Awakens collaboration was such a success, the duo teamed up again later, in July 2016, armed with a full feature script based on an idea by Dangerfield and written by Moonraven. Liane flew to England and the psychological thriller, Paper Angels, was filmed in its entirety in the West Midlands, UK.

Liane is hugely influenced and inspired by Edgar Allan Poe, Alfred Hitchcock, Brahm Stoker and Stephen King and believes she has found a way to weave each one of those great author’s writing style into her own.

Liane Moonraven lives in a suburb of Washington, D.C. where she loves to cook, play with her dogs, work in her garden and commune with nature.   www.lianemoonraven.com

Larry's a genuine non-believer where technology is concerned. He's the one on the far right in the picture of four Mercer University guys from 1971.

Author/Illustrator


It's well known that an artist becomes more popular by dying, so I'm typing this with one hand while pummeling my head with a frozen mackerel with the other. I've done art for several magazines, newspapers, websites, commercial and governmental clients, books, and scribbling but mostly drooling - on tavern napkins. I also create art pro bono for several animal rescue groups. I was awarded the 2004 James Award for my cover art for Champagne Shivers. I recently illustrated the Cimarron Review, Stories for Children, and Still Crazy magazine covers. Take a gander ( or a goose ) at my online gallery: www.angelfire.com/sc2/cartoonsbycartwright  . No pixels were injured during the production of this website. And please hurry with your response  this mackerel's killin' me! Your pal, Steve Cartwright.

Michael C. Smith (from New Zealand)

Bio; Born in Plymouth England in 1945 had a wonderful childhood in a family of six, sister and two brothers. as a family we did not have much money coming into the household, but what we did have was far more valuable, parents that gave us a happy up bringing. Schooling was not for me I was dyslectic and that caused a lot of problems with teachers who did not understand a child who saw and wrote backwards both with words and numbers. By the time I was fifteen I was more then ready to leave school. Only one teacher inspired me and the subject was geography he inspired in me a desire to travel the world so after Farm working for six years, three of which was working for a UK company supplying emergency staff, that enabled me to travel all over the UK. At the age of twenty-one I emigrated to New Zealand by way of South Africa, Australia and having promised my Mother that I'd return after two years did so by way of the Pacific Islands, the USA and Canada. I stayed over a few months in the UK before heading across the middle and far east to Australia and on to New Zealand where later got married did a honeymoon trip, worked in a TV factory to the UK returned to New Zealand after nearly two years in the UK Travelled back on a Russian ship, that was an experience in it's self. On returning to NZ I joined PYE/Phillips electronics and over several years ended up as the Quality Assurance Manager. During this period I was very involved in Jaycee (a young mans service organization) it enabled me to travel to Hong Kong and attend a convention in Japan. My marriage broke up shortly after and I left the company and moved to Tauranga a small city only a hour away, that enabled me to see my children and start a new life. I soon developed a business in the building industry employing up to 25 men, remarried, travelled to many countries over the next twenty-five years and retired in 2012 to start working on the internet with beezeebooks in 2013 something I really enjoy doing, it's very rewarding being able to help and encourage authors in promoting their books.  I can class many as good friends.

Qumran Taj

Sometimes it feels like the last 50 years of my life has been a kind of restaurant 'sampler' dish. Everything looked good to me and I had to be a life-hog and sample everything on the menu!

My journey included being a Christian minister, public speaker, counselor and mentor, later on an Interfaith minister, published author, writer, freelance artist, amateur musician, radio host and Certified Professional Life Coach. The seminars, classes, workshops I create are always designed to help individuals to grow into the best and most authentic version of themselves possible. My writings, articles, quotations and poetry have appeared in many respected publications. I have been interviewed on various radio programs, television and feature film.

Opening my retail store/ learning center/ community meeting place called “Wizards” is possibly the single professional accomplishment of which I am most proud. We dubbed it 'a strangely curious place' for good reason! You would understand what a truly unique and marvelous place it was if you ever had the privilege of visiting there. It transformed lives young and old in the most positive and wonderful ways. It was a great asset to the community and especially the youth in the area but, alas, the recession and other factors forced us to close prematurely.

It has been a great privilege for me to have developed my own inner or “sixth” senses over the years and then to help others to explore and develop their own gifts. The fact is, mystics and spiritual adepts since the dawn of time have been trying to tell us that we are really spiritual beings having a human experience and that we ALL possess hidden abilities. My own personal experiences have proven that this is true and this positive spiritual concept is one of the lessons behind some of my teachings that highlight a three prong philosophy: 1) Know Yourself, 2) Find Your Path, 3) Live YOUR Life.

Olivia Stanton   (Nyla Vox)

 am from Philadelphia PA. I am a writer, artist and I enjoy photography. I’ve been through a lot. People tend to misunderstand me. They mistake my kindness for stupidity, and my tendency to lean towards Love and happiness to mean I have no dark side, when in fact there can be no light without dark. I Love to laugh, but I am quick to cry and I can be as mean as I can be nice, especially when it comes to protecting what I am passionate about. I Love helping people, but have a low tolerance for gossiping and backstabbing. My favorite season is the fall. I Love music and the arts. I dream hard, I play hard and I will never give up on my book, The Worsening. It’s not just a book to me, it serves a purpose. All I will say, is it is a story that needs to be told. I fight for a better good and I though I go about it in my own way, I have no intention on stopping. The world needs to better itself.


        I also have a YouTube channel for ASMR, as I said, I’ve had a rough time, and I know what it’s like to lay there with the day chewing at your thoughts. I have a vlogging channel as well, but promoting the book has proven to be exhausting, especially when after you drop the book, people are saying, “Oh I didn’t know you wrote a book.” I blame only myself, if they didn’t know, I didn’t convey my message properly. I maybe be late in getting things done, but I will do as I say I will I am a girl of my word. I still owe Critic a video, lol. There are some people who are simply wonderful and though I hate clowns, he’s one of them. YES I hate clowns, dolls and dummies, (the kind ventriloquist use) but I have no problem in adding things that scare me to my writing, in truth, it makes it easier if I am terrified while writing to convey the fear to my audience. I feel this holds true with all emotions.


        My favorite animal is the cat, but I suppose you know that, I used to fancy myself a dog person, but after finding some stray kittens, my heart changed. I Love dogs too, but I find more of my own disposition in the soul of a cat

Jessica Cameron

was born and raised in Owen Sound, Ontario in Canada and moved to Toronto to study fashion at Ryerson University. After finishing her degree she moved to Ohio to work as a fashion designer and in her spare time she decided to try an acting class. The acting bug bit, and Jessica decided to make acting her full time career.
In the last few years she has been cast in more then 70 projects including music videos, TV shows and feature films. In 2010 she won an industry award for being a Rising Movie Star. Some of her favorite recent performances include: playing sorority leader in The Sleeper and she starring with horror icon Steven Geoffrey’s in the film “Mr. Hush”. She also had the chance to work with legendary director Jim Wynorski on the syfy channel film “Camel Spiders” and the established horror director Jeff Burr on “Resurection”. She was thrilled to play screen legend Marilyn Monroe in “The Black Dahlia Haunting”, having been a fan of hers for many years.
In 2012 Cameron starred in the hit TLC Show Brides of Beverly Hills for its second season. Acting as a wedding dress stylist on the show utilized Cameron’s fashion history as well as camera skills.
2013 was the first year in which Cameron stepped behind the camera to direct and produce Truth Or Dare, a torture film that she co-wrote with Jon Scott Higgins. Truth Or Dare would screen nearly 50 times all over the world and win 33 awards. Cameron would direct several short films in 2013 including a segment for the Soska sisters Blood Drive PSA. She would produce 2 more feature films (Utero and Save Yourself) before embarking on her most ambitious project yet – filming 3 movies while traveling across the USA in an rv with some of her favorite film makers. The team shot 2 narrative features (Desolation and Mania) and the documentary surrounding the process called Kill The Production Assistant. Mania would mark Cameron’s 2nd time directing a feature film.

But who is she and what is her podcast about? I let some people answer that question.

Cleo introduces us to people from around the world who have interesting insight on every level.  Don't expect a slick production. There is no pretense here. I can't say that about many podcasts or people. Cleo understands something few interviewers do: Being authentic elicits authenticity. No obsequious flatterer, she. Cleo speaks from the heart, and her heart, ever curious and probative, knows more than your brain. Her guests, many or most of whom are listeners, understand this implicitly and respond accordingly. They laugh. They cry. They show who they are... to someone who truly wants to know.
Cleo is a fantastic podcaster, especially considering English is not her first language! Her guests are varied and all of them have a story to tell. Cleo is able to identify the aspect of these people that makes them unique and really focus in to bring it to the surface.
Such a good independent podcast! Cleo brings onto the show many unique individuals from around the world to share a part of they're lives. The fact that she's able to take a normal life story and make it interesting & funny is amazing! Download if you want truly good conversations & a good laugh or two!

When I was 17 I enlisted in the Navy, but entered boot camp when I was 18. I was stationed at NAS Guantanamo Bay for 1 ½ years as a Naval Aviation Storekeeper. For the rest of my 4 years I was stationed in Norfolk, VA at a drone squadron, VC-6. They were target drones used to train pilots.
In 1979 I returned home to Bozeman, MT and attended Montana State University where I earned a BS in Elementary Ed. with a math option. My first teaching job was in a one room school. The building is still there, but is no longer a school. I taught 4th -8th grade with 4 students.
I got married to a Montana farmer/rancher and had two beautiful daughters. I started writing my stories for my girls and have been writing kid’s stories off and on for over 20 years. During that time I was hired by Manhattan Christian School and have taught Middle school and 3rd grade. I have been there for 19 years now.
My book, Along the Way with Little Blue, got its start as a writing lesson for my 3rd Grade class. I wanted to show them how a lot of authors begin their stories with other author’s ideas. They then twist the plot and make the characters their own. So I read them two stories based upon Little Red Riding Hood plus my own. They then wrote their own stories based on other fairytales.
My book has taken on a life of its own, and I now have 4 more sequels that I hope to get published.
My second book, Montana Raised, I wrote and illustrated.
The third book, The Potato Duck, I wrote and a fellow teacher illustrated it.

Suzanne L. Holko

A teacher by trade, Suzanne had the aspiration of becoming an author, since writing her first poem in the sixth grade. Two decades later, she completed her first book, "Grampy and Me." Motherhood being her first priority, it would take another two decades-plus before Suzanne's aspiration became a reality, in March of 2012. This was followed by the publication of her second book, "Letters from My Father," in December of 2012. Both are non-fiction.

Suzanne grew up in the great outdoors, nurtured by the imagination and creativity it brought forth. Children were out and about all day (or so it seemed), and were home in time for dinner. Sad to see how lost this important aspect of growing up has become. The book she is currently working on, "The Lighter Side of Wisdom," reflects on those times.

Nordik Fire

The latest project of acclaimed violinist and singer Bethany Borg, offers listeners an energetic electronic and rock fusion that uses violin to replace traditional duties of rhythm and lead guitars. Coupled with evocative vocals, the music carries us from a traditional electronic experience into soaring leads of a rock and jam based improvisational world. Bethany has teamed up with Atlanta based hip-hop producer Billy Hume to bring this project to unconventional and ear pleasing results.
Bethany picked up the violin at age two, won her first of ten state fiddle championships at age eight, and placed third in the national fiddle championship at seventeen. Also trained in classical and jazz, she has played venues with various groups, touring throughout the United States, Europe, Japan, Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

Libby Fox

Hi, I'm author Libby Fox from UK and live in Robin Hood County. Life in England is very laid back, at least up here in the MIdlands. We also have the "Major Oak" a massive Oak tree which is supposed to have sheltered Robin and his Merry men.
I had traveled quite a little bit before I got married; visited the States, lived for some time in Canada, trotted around parts of Europe like Italy, Greece Cyprus and France and then, to Israel where I dropped my anchor for a number of years. .
I met my future husband in a pub in Jerusalem while living, working and studying in Israel.
Most of my life, I did Pharmacy work. About 10 years ago, I moved on to do Interpreting, soon realizing that being multilingual could come in handy.
Now I have to mention my Hot/Sizzling book BLACK FOR LAST which has been described as "way, way better than 50 Shades." by some.
More books will follow in this "Sizzlin' Hot" series.

Angel Lorissa Pridgen

was born on a warm Christmas Eve in Florida. My two sisters and I were part of a military family, and so I was privileged to spend much of my childhood and young adult years in different cultures. I began drawing at the tender age of four, pursued and attained my Bachelor of Arts degree in Visual Communication: Digital Design in 2009, and began illustrating professionally for Annie Acorn in the latter part of 2011. I wrote my first successful short story in the winter of 2012, and have been writing and illustrating for AAPub ever since. I'm a freelance character illustrator in my spare time, when I'm not working with rescue animals. I'm also a professed science fiction nerd, video game enthusiast, avid drinker of hot teas, collector of marble eggs and rocks from around the world, survivor of stage four melanoma, and devoted wife to an aspiring chef.

Anne Celeste Burke

Life is an extravaganza! Figuring out how to hang tough and make the most of the wild ride is the challenge. On my way to Oahu, to join the rock musician and high school drop-out I had married in Tijuana, I was nabbed as a runaway. Eventually the police let me go, but the rock band broke up. Our next stop: Disney World, where we trained to be chefs. More education landed us in academia at The Ohio State University. For decades I researched, wrote, and spoke about a number of gloriously nerdy topics. Retired now, I’m still married to the same, sweet, guy and live with him near Palm Springs, California. The Jessica Huntington Desert Cities Mystery series is set here in the Sonoran Desert, a spectacular place to ponder life’s mysteries while relishing the delights of the desert resort cities. The Betsy Stark mystery series, to debut in 2015, is also set here in the Coachella Valley.

Joe Eliseon

 Joe Eliseon, author of The Seamless Web: A Legal Comedy, has been an attorney for most of his life, writing non-fiction about other people’s problems. Now, he’s an author writing humorous fiction about his own problems or, rather, about his take on other people’s problems. (Joe admits to no problems of his own.) Joe found non-fiction frustrating. It rarely made sense because he could only tell disjointed bits and pieces of his clients’ stories. Worse, clients considered it bad form to laugh at them. He finds fiction more satisfying. It lets him tell the whole story. Even better, he can write fiction so it makes sense. You can laugh all you want. Of course, Joe’s been other things: ambitious lower middle-class kid; obnoxious Ivy League student; bleeding-heart probation officer; self-important Manhattan Yuppie; heartless real estate salesman; high-flying corporate executive; evanescent multi-millionaire (for 36 hours, before the roof fell in); and desperate, unemployed slob. His childhood resembled a Leave It to Beaver episode scripted by Mario Puzo. He’s a doting bachelor uncle, a devotee of Harold Lloyd, Robert Benchley, Preston Sturges and Ray Bradbury and a firm believer in Truth, Justice and the American Way.
