Author Bio:
One of my earliest childhood memories is swimming in my friend’s pool and telling them about all the wacky ideas I had for stories. Writing has been my dream job since pretty much my whole life. After working for nearly a decade as a professional editor, I discovered the world of indie publishing and so far haven’t looked back. Getting to write books for a living is a dream come true, and I hope to never stop!

When not reading or writing, I love movies and TV, taking walks in the snow, listening to thunderstorms, team trivia night with my friends and occasional visits to Manhattan.

I grew up in the suburbs of New Jersey, but now reside in upstate New York.

Author Bio:
Meg Anne has always had stories running on a loop in her head. They started off as daydreams about how the evil queen (aka Mom) had her slaving away doing chores; and more recently shifted into creating backgrounds about the people stuck beside her during rush hour. The stories have been there, they were just waiting for her to tell them. Like any true SoCal native, Meg enjoys staying inside curled up with a good book and her cat Henry… or maybe that’s just her; sunburns hurt! You can convince Meg to buy just about anything if it’s covered in glitter or rhinestones, or make her laugh by sharing your favorite bad joke. She also accepts bribes in the form of baked goods and Mexican food.

Unzipped by Lauren Blakely  

About Unzipped by Lauren Blakely

Picture this – I’m ready to win back the love of my life, and I’m going big this time. We’re talking boom box, sing her name in the rain, let the whole damn neighborhood know I’m good and ready this time around. After all, if you’re going to grand gesture the ever-loving hell out of a second chance, you need to pull out all the stops.

There’s only one little problem.

My college girlfriend isn’t the one who shows up when I play my “I’ll do anything to win you back” tune.

The woman who flings open the second-floor window tells me my ex doesn’t live here anymore. But she’ll help me win her back. Anything for romance, anything for a guy so willing to go big for love. And that’s what I want at first. Until I get to know my new “romance coach” and discover she’s funny, clever, and keeps me on my toes. And boy, do I ever need that.

Now I don’t want to win anyone else’s heart. I want the woman who’s been helping me all along.

Trouble is – she thinks I’m in love with someone else, and when we take off on a road trip, everything I think I know about women is about to be unzipped and turned inside out.

Army of the Dog by JJ Johnson  

About Army of the Dog by JJ Johnson

A mostly irreverent, sometimes vulgar, but deadly serious story of pranking philosophers and their canine companions. Based on the rarely told documented true stories of the characters depicted in Raphael’s 1511 painting The School of Athens, re-live a semester in the lives of the mischief-makers and the artist. Set in the modern context of the University of Colorado (CU) in the Republic of Boulder, student Will Fiedler falls in with Houndman (Antisthenes) and Dowg (Diogenes) who recruit him and his classmates Ben Blair and Aldo Pierce into the secret society the Army of the Dog. But first they must pass initiations that test their nerves and manliness. Their call to action is against the reign of the 30 Tyrant Corporations, and their targets include big banks, big gas and oil, and big media. With help from Dowg and Halsey (Alcibiades), the ragtag band of students exact their pranks on the three Tyrant Corporations that have wronged their families. With insights from Samuel (Socrates) and CU Professor Broad (Plato) arguing with Colorado State University professor Dr. Spencer (Aristotle) the students take a wild ride in philosophy put to the test. But do they go too far in their pranks?Just as Rick Riordan inspired in young adults a renewed interest in Greek Mythology in his Percy Jackson series, the Army of the Dog inspires in adults young and old an interest in the early Greek thinkers that shaped Western Society. This uniquely unhinged little primer is, like the male philosophers were, in-your-face thought-provoking and controversial. Excellent for readers that enjoyed Edward Abbey’s The Monkey Wrench Gang and Jostein Gaarder’s Sophie’s World.

Author Bio:
John J. Johnson was born April 13, 1970 in the Pacific Northwest, educated in the Southeast and resides on Colorado’s Front Range. He can usually be found in or near mountains, rivers, woods, trails, books and Colorado craft beer. He seems to think that philosophical conversations are still cool and that dogs should have at least the same life spans as humans. He is comfortable being mismatched with such a beautiful woman living and recreating in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. This is his first book and he doesn’t expect a Pulitzer but he does mean to provoke thinking.

Author Bio:
“The thrum of city life runs through my veins, and I draw energy and inspiration from my west coast lifestyle. I’ve had stories swimming in my head my entire life, and when I returned to the west coast, those stories surfaced with a determination to be heard.” Jerena Tobiasen grew up on the Canadian prairies (Calgary, Alberta and Winnipeg, Manitoba). In the early ’80s, she returned home to Vancouver, British Columbia, the city in which she was born. Although Jerena has occasionally written short stories and poems since her return to Vancouver, it was not until 2016 dawned, that she began writing her first full-length manuscript, which was set primarily in Germany during World War I and World War II. When that draft was complete, she travelled to Europe and traced the steps taken by the story’s primary characters. Then, she rewrote that manuscript, embellishing it with experiences and observations. The manuscript evolved into three volumes, the first of which tracks a family of German soldiers through two world wars (The Crest). The second volume tracks a family of Roma who are forced to flee Germany during the early years of Adolf Hitler’s round-up of undesirables (The Emerald). The third volume reveals what can happen when the paths of two very different families collide (The Destiny). Together, these volumes became the saga The Prophecy.
