Author Bio:
I was born in 1985, in a time when being a full-time writer just wasn’t considered a viable career option. Consequently, I spent the majority of my life feeling like I don’t fit in, trying to figure out why I’m not really interested in doing anything, while completely ignoring the fact that I was interested in writing.

From an early age, I had a passion for books and stories of all kinds, especially science-fiction, which offered plenty of new worlds to explore in addition to this one. Basically, I try to cram as many lives as I can into the one I was granted.

After completing my studies in Letters and getting a Master’s Degree in American Studies – where I wrote my thesis on the music of Tom Waits – I settled for a comfortable job in IT support, which I rather enjoyed. However, something didn’t feel quite right.

A journey to the Dominican Republic to be a groomsman at my buddy’s wedding, and a near-fatal encounter with a knife-wielding hooker (I know, but it’s not what it sounds like) really helped put things into perspective. Upon returning, I decided that life is too grand a project not to be undertaken with maximum passion and dedication. In other words, I realized that I owed it to myself and the people I love to be the best that I could possibly be, and that was not going to happen in a corporate environment. With the support of a wonderful wife and a loving family, I quit my job to become a full-time writer.

I spent the first few months crafting a novel which I promptly shelved, and then I wrote Mindguard, the science fiction story I had been dreaming to tell all my life. Because of the wonders of the internet and this amazing world we live in, I went on to publish Mindguard on Amazon in September of 2014. In December, it was chosen Book Of The Year 2014 by scifi365.net

When I’m not working on sci-fi novels and short stories, I’m busy writing articles for various websites and magazines (most notably Cracked.com), and for my own jazz-themed website The Music and Myth.

I also enjoy taking photographs, working out, traveling and spending my evenings drinking wine and listening to jazz records in the company of my lovely wife, Ioana and our Netherland dwarf bunny, Picky.

About Paradise Lot RE Vance:

The gods are gone. All of them.

Their last message to humanity was: “Thank you for believing in us, but it is not enough. We’re leaving. Good luck.” At first no one took them seriously. Until, that is, all the denizens of all the heavens and hells started showing up on people’s doorsteps.

Creatures that were once thought of as myth are now refugees striving to adapt to life on earth. Trouble is, after eons of living forever, they’re not very good at being mortal.

Caught in the middle is Jean-Luc, a struggling hotelier who (reluctantly) promised to help these ‘Others’ live in this new GoneGod world. But taking care of his guests, keeping his hotel afloat and dealing with the constant drama of the Others’ lives is figuratively killing him. And now that an unusually strange Other is in town, his figurative demise might soon become more literal.

Author Bio:
D.A. Barton is a new author and got interested in CrossFit to finally do something to get in shape besides doing the usual boring things like treadmills and weight machines. I know my son and daughter-in-law were always talking about it. They looked amazing! Tried it and loved it!

My passion is helping people be the best they can be, whether it is physically, mentally, or spiritually. People have problems they should not have to deal with alone and I love being there to support them, listen to them, and carry them when necessary.

My family is the most important thing to me. My son is in the Army, so for any parent who has children in the military, you know how frightening it can be when they get the call to serve. My son was in Afghanistan for 9 months and I didn’t sleep the whole time. If your son or daughter is in the military, I thank them for their service and pray they will stay safe.

About Adventures of a Railway Nomad: How Our Journeys Guide Us Home by Karen McCann:

One August morning, I walked out of my Seville home taking nothing but a small, roll-aboard bag, a Eurail pass, and my husband. I was traveling with no fixed time limit, no reservations, and only a loose idea of an itinerary. My goal was to see if I could still have the kind of spontaneous adventures I’d enjoyed in our youth. I spent three months on trains, mostly in Eastern Europe, and the results – often hilarious, occasionally harrowing, definitely life-changing – form the basis of my new book, Adventures of a Railway Nomad: How Our Journeys Guide Us Home.

About Discover The Jungle With Bangle The Lion! by Aleksandra Godfrey:

It is a fun, informative story about animals and making friends. Beautiful and colorful illustrations are great way to stimulate children’s imagination as well as being an effective means of introduction to each animal.

What is special about the book is the fact that not only will it introduce a child to a number of animals from the jungle, there is also a hidden message behind the story. It is a great lesson about friendship!

My name is Aleksandra.

I am the creator of four children’s stories, currently available on Amazon Kindle.

I’m a mother of one and my idea was to create a series of stories which my daughter would enjoy listening to and that I would enjoy reading to her.

My books not only tell stories, but also have educational purposes as well as morals behind them. There are not enough books out there with all these important factors.

I have published four books on Amazon and I hope there are parents who share the same ideas as I and will enjoy reading these books knowing that their stories are educational and therefore beneficial for their children.
