After growing up in NW Pennsylvania in the cold and snow, C.J. Graves moved to Japan to live in…more cold and snow, but she now resides in sunny North Carolina with her wonderful husband and swimming pool. Having graduated from UNCG with a degree in Interior Architecture and Design, she soon realized she wasn’t cut out for the project management side of the business and turned to another creative love—writing. When she’s not writing or running a critique group, she enjoys beating up teenagers in her mixed martial arts class.

Biography George P. Saunders is the author of the celebrated and controversial international anomaly, The Art of Whoring - Adventures in Prostitution. He is also the author of Monster Vice, Gray Area, The Last Elf and Mars, The Bringer of War. His recently produced and critically acclaimed contribution to the zombie-genre film world Mutant Vampire Zombies From The Hood, starring C. Thomas Howell is now in worldwide distribution. A former Juilliard alumni and retired ballet dancer, Saunders plans on donating much of the proceeds to his books to the men and women of the combined armed forces of the United States of America. During his time as head writer for Military Films in the early 1990s, wherein he was the liaison for that company to the State Department to acquire combat footage for production, and provide narration over picture, Saunders had the opportunity to work with the U.S. Marines, U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force and with the invincible U.S. Navy Seals in Coronado, California. Saunders spends his leisure time, when not producing, directing, writing, or acting in feature films around the world, playing chess and perfecting his martial arts, 5-Animal Kung Fu. That is, when he's not enjoying a single-malt scotch, Glenfiddich being his favorite, in which event, he allows his mind to become his own private playground to nurture ideas for future books and screenplays. Saunders will be introducing his very first novel written at the age of 24, Whatever Gods May Be, in March of 2012, followed thereafter by Peter at the Bat, a novel revolving around an ex-Navy Seal fighting domestic terrorism. Saunders lives in Beverly Hills, attempting to mesh in with the plastic beauty of the landscape, and failing miserably.

- Marilyn Monroe : Essential Quotes And Quips From America’s Most Beloved Hollywood Icon - 2012-09-25 23:03:12-04
I've been a fanatic about all things Marilyn Monroe since the very first time I saw her on film, in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes when I was just nine years old. I was dazzled by her glamour, her ability to charm, how she could rule a room with barely a whisper, and most of all, the way she looked in that hot pink dress surrounded by men in tuxedos who alternately lifted her off her feet and offered up long strands of glittering stones in my favorite of all her musical numbers, Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend. As a writer, I'm still spellbound by her pitch perfect comedic timing, haunted by the bizarre set of circumstances surrounding her untimely death, and fascinated by the fact that she still mesmerizes us nearly 40 years after her death.

Michelle Pennington has a BA in Liberal Arts from the University of Arkansas in Little Rock. To attain this degree, she studied Literature, Rhetoric, History, and Art. She married her sweetheart, Ethan, while still in college and developed a new penchant for skipping class to spend more time with him. Despite this distraction, she still managed to graduate Magna Cum-Laude. Her love for the written word began at a young age. At four years old, she followed her mother around all day asking how to spell things. Her teen years were spent hiding in trees, on rooftops, and anywhere she could escape her chores for a while to read. Despite this aggravating behavior, her parents always encouraged her love of literature and her dream to write. Michelle is a hopeless romantic and an insatiable people watcher. Currently she is a stay-at-home mom where she cares for her three children, who are at once adorable and exasperating. In the midst of the domestic whirlwind that is her life, she enjoys crafting, cooking, art, and reading.
- Lily and the Tarantula - 2012-09-26 13:34:51-04
I was born in New York, but consider myself a California native. I enjoy running, snowboarding, and tennis. When not writing, I'm also a technology executive. In addition to writing children's books I have some science fiction projects underway as well. I live in Southern California with my wife Erika and our two children, who of course inspire many of my picture books and stories. "Lily and the Tarantula" is the first of my books to be published, but there will be more to come. I hope you and your children enjoy reading them as much as mine do. The illustrations in "Lily and the Tarantula" are by California artist Dori Murnieks. You can see more of her beautiful artwork here: https://www.facebook.com/DoriMurnieksArt From time to time I like to post story ideas, quotes, samples, etc. on my Tumblr page.

- Fangland - 2012-09-26 13:35:16-04
Born in Bath, England in 1974, a self-professed "funny onion", equal parts sport loving jock and comic book geek. From an early age reading so many works of varied authors I took the somewhat foolhardy decision to attempt my own novel and have finally completed my very first book, (please be gentle). Perhaps one day I will be able to list my publishing achievements and literary awards but for now I simply hope to have produced an interesting piece of work that entertains with a modicum of intelligence. I have always been an avid fan of the Horror/Supernatural genres and find that many great works in this field are automatically dismissed due to their subject matter. My second novel "Fangland" is now available. My third novel "Gated" has just passed 50,000 words.

Trixie J Belle is a friend and Mum who lives in Dublin. She is addicted to family life, writing fictional novellettes and bringing her dogs for a daily walk. After a long career in technology, Trixie left to raise kids, travel and write stories that readers enjoy. The stories are shorter, so they tend to be quick reads. She divides her time trying to beat a chocolate addiction, dreaming of ways to lose the flab, watching movies, school pickups and begging her dogs to stop tinkling in the damned house! Have a fantastic, amazing day. Why? Because you deserve it!!
