- Farce - 2012-09-18 16:07:58-04
Jamie Loftus is not afraid of stairs, which is perhaps a little too confident.
- The Sanctuary Stone by Tom Paver - 2012-09-18 16:08:48-04
Tom Paver, 44, is the youngest of six children raised in what he describes as “a typically Catholic Liverpool household: noisy, matriarchal and clannish.” He was educated by Irish nuns from the age of 3 and didn’t escape their warm embrace until he was 18. Nice people, though a bit handy with the punishment cane, Tom says. He deserved it most of the time, if he’s honest. He gained a degree in marketing from Manchester Polytechnic, though not before a year in Barcelona growing up quickly. His perfunctory Spanish still comes in handy each year on the family holiday, when he enjoys mangling verb conjugations. Tom is married with two children and divides his time between Liverpool and London. He has hopes of becoming a world class fly fisherman and of Everton Football Club winning the European Cup, but admits that neither event is likely any time soon. If there were more hours in the day or weeks in the year then he’d actually complete the GR11 path across the length of the Spanish Pyrenees.
- Heaven’s Fire by Sandra Balzo - 2012-09-18 16:09:21-04
Sandra Balzo turned to mystery writing after twenty years in corporate public relations, event management and publicity.

In addition to her books, Balzo writes short stories, two of which have been published in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, winning the Macavity, Derringer and Robert L. Fish awards.
- Atomic Summer by Elaine D Walsh - 2012-09-18 22:29:30-04
Nimitz Highway and River Street is an intersection on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. This is where she impatiently came out of the womb ready to start on her personal history. She grew up in upstate New York against the backdrop of the flowering women’s rights movement with different ideas from her mother as to what her life as a woman should be. In college, she majored in psychology with the intent of being a “death & dying” counselor. This would be her paying job while she wrote the next great American novel. Plan B kicked in and she graduated with a B.A. in English, packed her car, and upset her parents by moving to Florida in search of her destiny. Without ever having taken one business course, she created her own brand and became a successful business executive by day and women’s fiction writer by night. So far, she has lived a Lifetime Movie Network life, a mixture of extraordinary, ordinary, mundane, and terrifying, providing her great inspiration and fanning her creative flame. Her father imbued in her a strong sense of family. He brought to life the words unconditional love. From her mother, she gained an appreciation for the complexities of relationships and richness in life one finds exploring and experiencing everything from a recipe, to a historical site, to lunch with friends, or a glass of wine. Her mother was a collector of experiences. They journeyed together and grew as individuals and as mother-daughter. Elaine shared her mother’s journeys battling cancer, as her mother survived one and succumbed to another. In one of their last soulful conversations before her mother died, she told Elaine she was glad Elaine also had a daughter and hoped she would enjoy her own daughter as much as her mother enjoyed Elaine. The most powerful influences in her life and her stories come from being a daughter, mother, friend, and soul mate. But as a successful women’s fiction writer, does this surprise anyone?

- What Hides Within - 2012-09-18 22:33:13-04
Jason spends his days writing, but it’s mostly drafting legal memoranda as a civil litigator in New Bedford, MA—not exactly a venue conducive to creativity. But during his lunch breaks and after hours, you can often find him at one of the area’s charming coffee shops, huddled over an unadulterated iced coffee with a pen and paper in hand (somewhat old-school in his methods). Hopefully, when you see him, the pen’s moving, and he hasn’t dozed off. Either way, be sure to say, “hello.” If he’s asleep just poke him with a stick. Jason always welcomes the chance to meet readers and to field their questions and comments, be it in person, through Goodreads or through his website, http://authorjasonparent.com/ Jason primarily writes thrillers and horror, but has branched out into other areas of speculative fiction. Stay tuned for future works
- Black Earth: End of the Innocence - 2012-09-19 02:01:14-04
To start with, I am a writer. Not just of fiction, but of what I call edgy Christian speculative fiction - in general terms, science fiction/fantasy/horror/supernatural fiction with Christian themes and edgy content, such as sexual themes, language, drug use, and violence. Under normal circumstances, one wouldn't have to mention the fact that they write 'edgy' content, but in this case I do because edgy content usually conflicts with Christian fiction. At least that's been the general consensus among readers of both secular and Christian fiction. I won't even get into the dispute regarding Christian fiction coexisting with science fiction/fantasy. A good portion of my life is devoted to writing, and in that regard, to self-publishing. Self-publishing is perfect for those who want to take control of their books and get things done on their own timeline and in their own way. It's also perfect for those writing in genres that aren't very popular yet. No matter how hard it is to market a specific book or style of writing, you must stay true to yourself. Let the world know who and what you are, and they'll never forget you. It's when you try to be like everyone and everything else that you get lost in the crowd. So now you know that I am a self-published author of edgy Christian speculative fiction. But that's not me entirely. I also love to read. To be a good writer, one must love to read to some degree. My childhood especially was heavily influenced by reading. I remember reading Mark Twain’s work in my youth and falling in love with the characters of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. I remember reading terrific and sometimes horrifying short stories like Edgar Allen Poe's, The Cask of Amontillado and The Pit and the Pendulum, along with James Thurber’s, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. In my senior year of high school I read through the Han Solo trilogy and fell in love with science fiction/fantasy and the Star Wars universe in its entirety. Present day I have an entire shelf full of books that have made their own requests to be read, including Stephen King's Dark Tower series, The Night Angel Trilogy, and a number of graphic novels. Besides reading, I spend some of my free time in video games. Video games, in my opinion, are an artwork all their own. Combining music, storytelling, animation and voice acting, video games are the epitome of the arts, many talents coming together for entertainment's sake. When I do have time to game, you can usually find me online participating in a round of Half Life 2: Deathmatch, or scouring the world of Tyria for adventure in Guild Wars 2. If you want to follow me on this adventure called life - particularly the life of a self-published author of edgy Christian speculative fiction - keep tabs on my website: www.davidnalderman.com, and follow me at my blog: www.davidnalderman.blogspot.com. I have also taken the time to create a community for readers and writers of edgy Christian speculative fiction to come together to support one another at The Crossover Alliance: http://thecrossoveralliance.socialgo.com. I'd love to have you over there. And don't hesitate to drop me a line if you have the time. I'd love to hear about your own journey through writing and self-publishing.
