Author Bio:
When I was a child, I had 11 classes at school in the village of Chuchkovo, which, sadly, doesn’t exist anymore. I then went into the army and thought I would become a security guard right after. Humble life experiences, am I right? My life had been nothing special up until that point. It had been pretty ordinary. But because I read so much as a child, my love for storytelling began to grow. It would never leave me. So, naturally, I started writing down stories. Eventually, I was hired at a bookshop. What a dream! I worked hard and with diligence. Every day I would go to the store at 6 a.m. and leave at 10 p.m. It was taking a toll on me. I couldn’t even read or write books. The irony is not lost on me. I had always wanted to push myself and write a full length novel, so I thought, “why not give it a chance?” And I did! I quit the bookshop and started writing “Changing Masks.” I love how the series turned out, and I love discussing it with my friends and other peers in Moscow.

About M.H. Johnson
A longtime lover of all things fantasy and science fiction, there was nothing I liked more as a kid than heading to the library and picking up the latest book written by one of my favorite authors.

As I got a little bit older I couldn’t help but wonder if I could weave together grand tapestries of high adventure in the hopes that readers like yourself might one day take a look at them and enjoy the stories within.

I am currently writing novels in both the fantasy and GameLit / LitRPG genre.

Endless Online is a LitRPG series about a gamer who confronts a sinister corporation promising the most immersive of games ever to hit the market, only to find out that it’s no game at all, and Earth itself is the prize in play.

Dragonsign is about a quartet of uniquely gifted boys who wonder if they can make friends and influence people without necessarily eating them.

The Risen Queen is an epic fantasy series about a girl and her talking cat embracing adventure, wonder, and the most dire of destinies.

Author Bio:
I have a degree in Humanities with Literature and have always enjoyed reading, especially the great writers of the 19th Century, such as Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy. A great deal of my working life has been spent teaching English and maths to young people in the workplace. Nowadays I find myself trying to pass on my love of the classics to people who were born in the 21st Century. It’s a hard task but if I can impart even the tiniest bit of enthusiasm, then I’ll feel I have achieved something.

I have done many different jobs in my working life, from nursing to shelf filling and everything in-between! Having lived long enough now, I realise that life very rarely goes to plan.

Being the only child of two only children, I have always felt a distinct lack of family. This led me to research my family history and what I found there fascinated me. The Glass Bulldog is my first novel but there is another one currently in progress, again based on the true stories of my ancestors. I feel the lives of ordinary people can be just as sad, funny, dramatic and interesting as anyone famous. We are all just struggling to survive.

My writing takes place anywhere and everywhere, even whilst sitting in the car. I find driving is a great way to free the mind and inspire the imagination, and I’ve often had to pull over in order to get stuff down on paper. I always write the first draft by hand, as I think better that way, then redraft and amend it as I type it up.

In my spare time, when I’m not writing, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our cats, rabbits and guinea pigs, listening to folk and world music, going to the cinema and trying to grow vegetables, with limited success!

About The Raidships

Valkran raiders launch their attack on Avendale at sunrise. When it ends, Avendale is in ashes and the marauder’s hold is filled with captives—sixteen-year-old Whit Alder among them.
Before departing for their homeworld, the raiders shove a frightened boy into the hold. The boy is a Valkran. His name is Arne Grimsen, and he is guilty of cowardice and insubordination.
On the long voyage between worlds, circumstances force Whit and Arne into an unlikely alliance. Upon arrival in the raider’s capitol, they are sold at auction, each to a different master. They part ways—unaware their paths will cross again.
When a confluence of events reunites them, they forge a perilous plan to regain their liberty. It relies on a madman’s ravings and a lost city, buried in ice for a thousand years. If they fail, their lives are forfeit. But should they succeed, their actions could change forever the destinies of two civilizations.
A tale of four lives, caught up in the conflicts of a medieval society in a distant future, >The Raidships explores loss, friendship, honor—and ultimately—the price of courage in the face of evil.

Before taking up writing full time, I worked quite a few gigs. I served in the U.S Army in an airborne infantry unit, worked my way through school and went to work for a Fortune 100 company. Worked there for a number of years as a software engineer, then grew bored and left for a software startup. I did a few more startups after that, but I’d always had an itch to write. I took a sabbatical a while back to write my first novel, The Raidships. As it turned out, I like telling stories much more than writing software. Now, that’s what I do—hoping to find folks willing to circle the campfire and listen to my tales.

About Taking Control by L.V. Lane

Some Omegas were psychic, and like bloodhounds, were excellent trackers of people. Eloise was one such Omega and was tasked with locating a missing diplomat in possession of secret research—the means to destroy the virus.
The virus had not hosted for her parents. They wanted no part of that world, considered it ungodly and corrupt and feared for her mortal soul when they discovered she had revealed as an Omega.
Should she help to retrieve the missing research and perpetuate the divide, or let it fall into enemy hands where it might be eradicated forever?
