Author Bio:
Jeff Stilwell excels at the unexpected.
Not content with his midwestern roots, he found ways on the cheap to explore the wider world including selling gummy bears in high school to visit the Alps of southern Germany. To pay for college, he worked a slime line as a head chopper in the clammy tundra of Alaska.
His thirst for adventure next took him to Asia where he studied the martial arts and Asian philosophy while exploring exotic locales such as the Himalayas and the lands of Lord Jim, even surviving a squall in the Gulf of Siam.
Attracted to strong women lifelong, he met and wooed his wife, jewelry designer Manya Vee there, winning her heart by following her to Java. Upon returning to the States, they founded an art gallery just north of Seattle. She taught him to gallop bareback at the family farm in the storied Yakima Valley, the inspiration for his first novel Fighting for Eden.
His flair for the dramatic led him to write and stage fifteen plays in and around the Seattle theatre scene. His works earned numerous laurels such as “an intense dramatic comedy you don’t want to miss…an uninterrupted 90-minute power pack with something to say,” for his One Tile Short and “a trip and a half in a little more than a hour and a half through an Alice-like wonderland and a half; ground-breaking in ways more than one,” for his Teacup Tipsy. (The Enterprise Newspapers, Dale Burrows)
Too restless, however, to merely sit behind a computer, he recently completed a solitary 750 mile hike from Stevens Pass in Western Washington to end, a Biblical sounding forty days later, at Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone National Park. Once upon a time, he even ran for Congress. If it’s big, Stilwell has dreamt it, attempted it, or achieved it.
I wanted to die, but I changed my mind by Ana Dragalina
About I wanted to die, but I changed my mind by Ana Dragalina
Do you miss love letters and still believe in True Love Stories? Do you believe that you have fears that don’t let the real You blossom? Do you ask the sky “Why?” all the time? If you do, then here is a gift for you:
The non-fiction book “I wanted to die, but I changed my mind” – a deep search of a tormented soul endlessly and beautifully caring about finding The One. It is an epic search beyond time and social constraints. A letter transformed into a book which starts from the idea that two souls are searching to meet and to „recognize” each other in order to fulfill the dreamt of the whole. The letter is displaying a full register of sides love may embody eternally and humanely by revealing many characters playing the role of the Lover who cannot be reached and fulfill the insatiable for the „ideal partner”.
The book is an endless longing for the missing image in the mirror, a disclosed narcissistic quest that is leading towards a profound yet common leitmotiv of defeat – the self – goes in search of its missing half and meanwhile, it is painfully suffering an imminent loss. The stories explain the process of purification and knowledge of the fear keeping things at bay, and most importantly the process of reaching to many beautiful insights with any new love affair.

Stim by Kevin Berry

Accompanied by his quirky flatmates, Chloe (who also has Asperger’s and mental illness, amongst other things), Stef (who hasn’t, but doesn’t mind) and their oddly-named kitten, Robert endures a myriad of awkward moments in his quest to meet a nice, normal girl…and not even a major earthquake will stop him.

Author Bio:
When an adolescent Kevin Berry handed in a 50,000 word murder mystery for his high school English assignment, his long-suffering teacher accepted the stack of papers with poorly masked horror. Today, Berry’s work is generally met with a stronger reception, including multiple independent writing awards and glowing critical reviews.
Berry’s fiction is known for its high stakes and dramatic action, but his stories are drawn from his own life experience. In 2010 and 2011, Berry lived through the devastating earthquakes that struck Christchurch in New Zealand, forever changing how residents saw their city. His personal struggle with Bipolar Disorder and Asperger’s Syndrome inspired the characters in his novels Stim and Kaleidoscope, described as powerful and authentic representations.
When Berry isn’t raising his two sons, reading other indie authors or working as a copy editor, the writer can be found hunched over his laptop, face scrunched and fingers flying well into the early hours.

When she’s not circumnavigating the globe (65 countries and counting, plus all 50 states), communing with sea critters on the ocean floor (in her scuba gear), or climbing every mountain (on the back of her husband’s motorcycle), or flying planes (at least as a student pilot for now), you can find her writing.
Ann is the author of the newly released romcom/chick lit LIFE IN THE HOLLYWOOD LANE, mystical SPELLWEAVER about a woman during the witch hunts in Scotland in 1597, the hilarious ANGELS ON OVERTIME, the deep MARY’S MESSAGE (about Mary Magdalene), and reach-for-the-stars VISIONING. Ann’s life-affirming books weave tales of love and intrigue that take readers on mystical journeys. Her characters live radiant lives touched by magic, an ability Ann believes we all have.
Ann is also an award-winning documentary filmmaker. Her first movie was about a group of vets returning to Viet Nam to perform humanitarian work, give something back to the people, return to their Areas of Operation, and heal their wounds of war. Her second movie involved traveling around the world and interviewing people from all walks of life—heads of state, street kids, academics, artists….the folks of this world—on how they envisioned creating world peace. The website for this movie won numerous awards. Ann is also an award-winning humanitarian.

Author Bio:
Ever since the age of twelve, JC Gardner has aspired to be an author. Writing stories became an escape, a way for her imagination to come alive on the handwritten pages of steno pads, notebooks and journals. A closet writer for many years due to a series of unfortunate events, when it came to sharing her writing, a cloud of self-doubt would follow that it wasn’t worthy or good enough; so it would stay buried, deep within a drawer, a satchel, or just locked up in her mind.
An extrovert by nature, slowly but surely her love of writing seeped into homemade greeting cards, personalized poems for friends, song lyrics and of course, lots of stories. What God has placed in your heart, no one can take away. It may be suppressed, even overshadowed, but writing stories is part of her DNA. Her debut novel, Sinful Liaisons, is a multicultural mix of risky relationships, intriguing characters and surprising plot twists. If you like suspenseful romance with a bit of spice, you will not be disappointed with this debut. After many years, JC is finally able to walk into her destiny. By day, she is a manager at a nonprofit agency; by night, she carves out time to spend with her husband and two children. And somewhere in the wee hours of the night, she writes. JC hopes to add “inspirational speaker” to her resume to help others keep the faith and follow their dreams.

Dynamite Fishermen
Beirut, 1982. Conrad Prosser is a skilled Arabist, expert agent handler, prolific intelligence reporter, and a connoisseur of Beirut’s underground nightlife. But, as his two-year tour at the U.S. Embassy nears its end, Prosser’s intelligence career is in jeopardy because he has not recruited an agent while in Lebanon, a sine qua non requirement for promotion.
Surveying his many contacts, Prosser selects an attractive Lebanese doctoral student and her idealistic brother as candidates for development. At the same time, he holds clandestine meetings by day and night with his string of Lebanese and Palestinian agents, pressing them to discover who is behind the latest wave of car bombings that has terrorized Muslim West Beirut. But when one of his agents supplies information used to capture a Syrian-backed bombing team, Prosser sets off a cycle of retaliation that threatens more than his career and cherished way of life.
At first denying, then later concealing, apparent attempts on his life, Prosser sets out to save both his job and his skin, exploiting his agents, his best friend, a former lover, his new girlfriend and her enigmatic brother. In doing so, he puts their lives at risk and discovers too late the effect of his heedless actions.
