- What the Heck, Dec?! - 2012-07-14 23:55:09-04
Elizabeth Dudak lives in a tiny suburb (more of a town) outside of Chicago, with her husband, Peter; children, Leah and Matthew; mutt, Jordan; and mini-zoo of critters. She was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago where she learned the love of writing and reading from her English-teacher father and bookworm mother. She has written opinion-oriented columns for local newspapers for over four years, and in her blog, (www.writewhereibelong.com), she writes on the ramblings of her active mind. What the Heck, Dec?! is Elizabeth’s first novel, and it is proof that she subscribes to the first rule of writing, which is to write what you know.
- Emergency Ex: Teach Him Tonight, Book #2 - 2012-07-14 23:56:32-04
By day, she’s a mild-mannered language teacher. But after hours, Mardi Ballou’s wild writer persona erupts and entraps her in bondage…to her computer. Release comes only once she achieves her word count goal, at which point the maniacal chocolate monster will give her one sublime piece. And then she can spend time with her hero husband Lee, who gives great massages at strategic times. So Mardi writes what she knows— romances—hot and mainstream. In addition to independent publishing—Emergency Ex: Teach Him Tonight, Book #2 and Photo Finish: Teach Him Tonight, Book #1 are her first two—she’s written for Ellora’s Cave, Samhain, NCP, Whiskey Creek, and Changeling. Also women’s fiction. Her most recent releases are Deja Brew, Dark Venues, and Soap Bloke in e-book format and Perfect Pear in the Better with Age print anthology from Ellora’s Cave, plus the Fangly, My Dear anthology—Byte Marks, What’s a Ghoul to Do?, and Playing with Matches in print from Samhain.

I share an apartment with my room mate.j I enjoy swimming and genealogy and researching history. Of course reading and writing is my main love.

I am infinitely curious about the ways of the world and a modest researcher,a physicist.

A student of all things, Master of none... A questionable turn on a time-worn cliché, but fairly apt--a jack of many trades. Perhaps it began with the custom van built in the long-haired days of the early 70's--an old school bus with an engine salvaged from the junk yard. Or with the dozens of motorcycles ridden, broken, repaired and ridden again. Eric has built furniture and guitars, he's screen-printed t-shirts and created package design for bottled soap. He's thrown newspapers and he's written software for corporations large and small-- for a time working from the wandering RV he and Sue called home. He does website design and he's published motorcycle and RV travel articles. He earned a pilot's license and he built and flew a gyro-copter over the cane-fields and beaches of Florida. He's penned tunes and published Sci-Fi/Fantasy short stories and a first novel, Water Harvest, with Double Dragon Publishing September 2011. After more than three decades in south Florida, Eric and his lovely wife Susan moved to the Upstate region of South Carolina, where the nearby Appalachians beckon two-wheeled leisure. When cranky knees allow it, bicycling is a favored indulgence--more often, these days, on a recumbent. Motorcycling remains a passion, justified at least in part by instructing a course in motorcycle safety. He was likely a cat in a previous life, as there's an undeniable affinity. He looks odd, and children feel some connection when they watch him skate past on his three-wheel Trikke. The truth is, Eric is still working out what it is that he'll do--after he grows up.

- Lifehack by Joseph Picard - 2012-07-16 23:11:42-04
Born in 1976, he has lived all over Canada, but has called the Meadow-Ridge area of BC his home since 1992. While cycling to his job as a computer technician, he got into a fight with a car in 2001. The car won, and Joseph became a T5/6 paraplegic. This has not hampered his chances at winning the superbowl, as he's been a self-declared nerd for as long as he can remember. Since his injury, he has focused on his writing and a little on his art, much of which is related to his fiction and can be found at www.ozero.ca. In May, 2007 he became proud father of Caitlin, followed in 2011 a son, Lachlan. He awaits the day that stemcells or super awesome telekinetic flight powers will allow him to unfurl his black trenchcoats yet again.
