Author Bio:
I was born in a small town in Sweden. I grew up, as people tend to do, formed a range of opinions about this, that and the other, and eventually went to university to study physics. Having finishing my PhD I roamed the world for a few years, eventually settling in the United Kingdom where I now work as a professor of Mathematics.

I have always loved books, of all shapes and sizes, and probably read a bit too much for my own good. Most of the stuff I write can be found in science journals, and tends to be somewhat technical on things like dead stars, black holes and waves of gravity. This made me wonder what it would be like to write a “real” book. Maybe one day I will find out…

In the meantime, I have very much enjoyed writing the (now four) Professor Kompressor books. The inventive Professor was a creation by myself and my daughter – obviously inspired by the many bumbling inventors you will find in kids’ literature. The main difference is that my Professor often draws on actual science for his ideas. He may get it wrong, but this is where the inspiration comes from.

The feedback on these books has been great. It is fantastic to hear that readers actually enjoy enjoy your stories. However silly they may be (no, not the readers…) The third book in the series, Professor Kompressor under cover, was a Silver Award winner in the 2013 Wishing Shelf Independent Book Awards and also runner-up in the Best Children’s Fiction category of the 2013 SpaSpa Awards (also nominated for Best Cover). I don’t mind at all being second best. That will do nicely, thank you very much!



Reunited by Annie Kelly  

ReunitedAbout Reunited by Annie Kelly:

Jay Shumaker has spent the last fifteen years in the Army. His tours overseas have shaped him into the kind of man who is used to being alone. He’s so committed to his life in the service that he’s agreed to another deployment – this time to Istanbul, Turkey, where he’ll be stationed with Special Forces.

Cassandra Erickson has it all – a successful life as a college professor and a half dozen publications to boot. However, her relationship is essentially over, despite her best intentions. Her long term boyfriend, Carter, is a wealthy and ambitious attorney who is making a bid for a congressional seat. The closer he gets to congress, the further apart he and Cass have drifted.

Cassandra and Jay are two people whose paths never would have crossed if it weren’t for one thing – their fifteen year high school reunion. Jay chooses to attend at the last minute. Cassandra decides to go alone after Carter bails on her once again. At the hotel lobby, the two former classmates see each other and are catapulted back in time – back to a time where they had a scorching sexual encounter a few days prior to their high school graduation.

Cassandra and Jay are drawn together as though by a magnetic force. They spend the weekend discovering how much they’ve both changed in the last fifteen years – and yet, how much they’ve stayed the same. They know that this weekend might be the only chance they get to have to be together and they take advantage of that time with gusto. The problem? Well, one weekend together just might not be enough.

Author Bio:
I write romantic fiction with a sense of humour and, sometimes, a sense of the ridiculous. Because we all know life and love aren’t exactly how we’d like them to be.

When not writing, I love to cook and to read, I even read in the car (talking books) and have notched up countless unnecessary miles as a result.

Not one to spend hours in the gym or pounding the pavement, I prefer Yoga and Pilates, which means I can tone and tighten whilst watching TV.

Disclosing the Secret  

Disclosing-the-SecretAbout Disclosing the Secret:

Jake Marcel never wanted anything to do with the military, let alone the intelligence community.
He was the grandson of Major Jesse Marcel, formerly of the 509th Bomb Group for the US Air Force; his grandfather was set up as the man who mistook a downed weather balloon for a crashed extraterrestrial craft allegedly reported by the US military in the 1940s.
Jake’s father had also joined the military and retired as a decorated and respected colonel, but Jake still grew up with the ridicule of his grandfather’s much publicized mistake and chose not to believe in the stories of what his grandfather once found in the desert.
But when Jake uses details of his father’s bedtime stories to solve an engineering problem of his own, he draws the attention of the National Security Agency. To protect their seven-decade old web of secrets surrounding the crash from being unraveled, the NSA deploys their most secret Black Ops detachments to neutralize Jake. Reluctantly, Jake accepts the help of a government scientist who warns him of the imminent threat and seeks Jake’s assistance in bringing forth disclosure of the government’s cover-up.
The revelations shared by the scientist have the power to transform our civilization’s perception of the universe and the world we live in. As Jake struggles to examine his own beliefs, he uncovers an object that has profound implications on the question of whether or not humans are alone in the universe. The truth, he will learn, is more explosive than he could ever have been prepared for.
When Jake realizes he may be able to play a role in exposing over 70 years of secrecy by proving his grandfather’s discovery was real, he finds himself up against one of the world’s most powerful governments as he confronts the most closely guarded secrets of our times.
A reality the world is not ready for; a technology that’s not supposed to exist; a crash that never happened; a government that was not prepared; and a truth we were never to know… Disclosing the Secret is a Dan Brown paced sci-fi action thriller. It explores the idea of introducing an extraterrestrial presence into contemporary civilization and delves into its implications on our social, political and religious beliefs, challenging the reader to ask, “What if?”
All the events and technologies embedded within the narrative are based on alleged artifacts and incidents from the recollections of Col. Jesse Marcel Jr..

Author Bio:
Vincent Amato’s books are slightly based on reality by combining history, sci-fi and action with an injection of real world science. The result is a blurred the line between fact and fiction to make the reader think, “what if”. Keeping the Secret was inspired by Dr. Jesse Marcel’s Jr.’s recollection of crash debris his father brought home one night while working as an intelligence officer for the U.S. Army.

Born and raised in Australia, Vincent never planned on becoming a fiction writer or novelist. However, his interest in science sometimes overlapped with sci-fi, giving him a unique perspective to writing within the action and thriller genre that often embeds real world truths within the narrative. His approach to writing is to hook the reader with a compelling story by exploring all sides of the issues being faced by the protagonist.

Vincent graduated with an honors degree in engineering and works for a consulting engineering firm in Australia. Previous projects have led him to work in Dubai, Bahrain, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

Subprime Felon  

Subprime-felon-front-cover-1About Subprime Felon:

From College Student to Real Estate Investor to Convicted Felon

What was it like for him inside?

Pyerse Dandridge thought he was on the way up. After earning his BA in English from Sacramento State University, he was paying his daily expenses by toiling in a restaurant while working on his novel. But his purchase of five houses with faulty subprime loans cost him his freedom. After the houses were lost to foreclosure, Pyerse was prosecuted by the federal government for loan fraud and sentenced to 17 months in Herlong Prison Camp, near the California-Nevada border.

This book recounts Pyerse’s experience inside Herlong and at the halfway house where he was sent to readjust to society. To successfully restart his life, he first had to survive the pettiness, dehumanization, and psychological bondage of the prison camp. Then he had to overcome his own personal emotional challenges, and somehow use the exclusion from family and friends to his advantage.

Though prison camp is considered to be easy prison time, any wrong move could result in his transfer to a much harsher prison and the extension of his sentence either of which could scar him for life.
