- Clones The Clive Pearson Series by Joseph Mancia - 2012-09-24 15:41:08-04
From the author: I was raised in Chicago, Illinois in a great little neighborhood on the south side called Bridgeport. When I was in High school, I really enjoyed writing and always thought that I would become an author. Well, life had other plans for me. I joined the US Marine Corps after high school and it was an experience that I would not regret. After my military service I had went from one job to another trying to find my calling. I ended up building my own business (Action Construction). When the housing market dropped, I was forced close up shop and that's when I decided to pursue What I've always loved which was writing fictional books. My first fiction book is called Clones - The Clive Pearson Series.
- On The Road - 2012-09-24 15:42:17-04
Hello, I'm Angie. Now that the pleasantries are out of the way, lets you and I take a little stroll. There's a story I need to let out of its cage and I think it's one you need to hear. It's about the end of the world as we know it... PS. Little pleases me more than to explore the fantasy, horror, and romance stories that get stuck in my head. Knowing other people also like them is second only to the magic of this new career I've chosen. As a die-hard Cincinnatian, I much prefer writing to the stresses of being a city Taxicab dispatcher. Thank you for making my dreams possible.
