Author Bio:
Salman Shami was born in Lahore, Pakistan in 1966 to a Pakistani Father and a Swiss Mother. He has written since an early age as a means of entertaining himself, family, and friends. Later he wrote junior fiction to have something to read to his own children at bedtime.
Salman has two Masters Degrees and is an Engineer by profession. A busy professional career meant little time to complete the arduous task of writing and publishing a book.
That all changed after he was physically attacked for talking about the injustices caused by blasphemy laws in Pakistan. Shaken by the incident and determined to do something about it Salman decided to go to war with unreasonable people with the only weapon he believes in, the proverbial pen. He hopes to contribute to pushing back the tide of intolerance and hate that threatens to engulf humankind. His cross-cultural background and his experiences in Pakistan shape his unique viewpoint.
Salman has been an outspoken critic of religious fanatics all his life. This has brought him many enemies, some of them powerful. To get an engineering degree in Pakistan students were required to enrol in Islamic Studies. His lecturer for that subject was the same person who co-founded Lashkar-e-Taiba with Osama Bin Laden. Salman used to confront him with questions about of the contradictions in Islam such as why it permitted slavery or why women were not allowed four husbands. His lecturer banned him from his classes. As a young and rebellious teenager, Salman did not realise just how dangerous the man was or how close he had come to being on a kill-list.
During his university years, Salman publicly backed a secular student union against a radical right-wing youth party, Jamaat Islami. In the course of elections, which the secular group won, he escaped being glassed, shot at, and was nearly kidnapped.
Salman lives in Australia with his family. When he is not writing, he travels, plays the guitar and tinkers with his classic cars.

New Orleans is a hot mess.
Ancient feuds. Demonic forces bent on destruction. Oh, and apparently vampires are real. Della didn’t sign up for any of this.
She didn’t sign up for violence and mayhem in the streets of the Big Easy. She didn’t sign up to be a magnet for an evil force intent on hunting down the reincarnated souls of its enemies.
She sure as hell didn’t sign up for rescue by a sinfully tempting vampire lord and his fashion-model-gorgeous friends. Especially since he seems convinced that she’s the living embodiment of his long lost human mate.
Seriously, this kind of stuff isn’t supposed to happen to insurance company receptionists from New Jersey.
The world is descending into chaos. Now, a coven of hypnotically alluring bloodsuckers is trying to convince her they’re the good guys. And the truly scary part is, she’s starting to believe them.
* * *

Author Bio:
USA Today bestselling author R. A. Steffan lives in a very boring (but pretty) part of flyover country in the Midwestern US. When she’s not busy working her dead-end swing shift job or writing stories about people loving each other in all sorts of different and interesting ways, she can be found taking care of her small menagerie of critters.
A rebel to the core, she is currently sticking it to the man by illegally harboring ducks within the city limits, where only chickens are allowed. This fearless disregard for societal norms extends to her writing, as well. There, you will find love of all flavors. You will also find families of choice, profound friendships, adventure, danger, and good triumphing over evil.
That, and sex. Lots of sex. Most of which is not the vanilla variety.

THE CHARM OF REVENGE by TOM SECRET
About THE CHARM OF REVENGE by TOM SECRET
PRAISE FOR THE CHARM OF REVENGE, BY TOM SECRET
“A thrilling ride, with three-dimensional characters and a story that will have you racing to the end, where everyone has a secret to tell, including the dead.” — Michael Carr – Editor of The Charm Of Revenge, plus more than a dozen New York Times best sellers and another dozen Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times International, and Amazon best sellers.
Six years ago, Brad and Lola Fairweather ran through the hospital corridors trying to find a doctor to save their baby, Daisy, but they ran into cops. Brad was stun gunned and dragged away like a slab of meat, leaving Daisy to die in her mother’s arms.
Now they have another daughter, Lilly. She’s four and their son, Jack, is eleven. They’re the reason Brad and Lola carry on. But something doesn’t feel right. Someone is watching.
As events unfold, they discover their names are on a sinister government list, and their enemy wants to finish off what he started all those years ago.
Horrifying details emerge forcing each person to cross the line and end their dark secrets, silence the past, and face the devastating consequences of their actions.
With the mutilated bodies piling up, Detective Lt. Donatello hunts for the vigilante the press are calling ‘a hero’, but finds himself caught in a complex web of organized crime, kidnapping and murder, with all the evidence pointing to just one person, which is bad news…for him!
GOODREADS READER REVIEWS:
“This is a fantastic fast paced story. Tom Secret has woven ‘real-life’ villainous gut wrenching subjects, into a brilliant intricate web. The characters are layered, complex and gritty and Lieutenant Donatello is straight off a movie set. I found him so engaging I can’t wait to journey with him again.
Excellent twists and turns right to the very end.” P. Mia

Hello, I’m Tom Secret, and I want to thank you for stopping by my author page.
Like most authors, I began writing because I had a story to tell. However, I pretty soon realized that it wasn’t about me, it’s about you, and what was driving me to re-write scenes again and again, was that I wanted to take you on a hard hitting, emotionally charged journey, that you would find as exciting as you would fulfilling.
I was a property developer to the rich & famous before I began writing. That turned out to be good training, because as you know developing takes a long time. What I hadn’t counted on, was that being a perfectionist developer is a lot easier than being a perfectionist fiction author.
To ensure the story is the best it could be, The Charm of Revenge, went through 6 months of developmental editing with Karl Eglasias (author of Writing for Emotional Impact), two rounds of editing for forensic & CSI accuracy with Jeff Goudeau Forensic Consulting LLC, and multiple rounds of editing with Michael Carr (the rock-star of fiction editing, with well over thirty NYT, LA Times & Amazon bestsellers to his credit).
I hope you enjoy the ride!
Best
Tom
