1. A Death Displaced (Lansin Island Series) - 2013-01-15 01:33:14-05
   Andrew Butcher was born in Northampton, England. As a kid, he didn't read much. He recalls being attracted to A Series of Unfortunate Events, but probably more for the cover illustration than anything else. He gave the series a shot, but didn't get past book three. His passion for reading arose when he was sixteen and he discovered Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles. He ploughed through the series. Later he moved on to other books, some standalone novels, but his preference is for series. Although he loves to read, he enjoys watching TV series just as much. Some of his favourites are Lost, Battlestar Galactica, Fringe, True Blood, Chuck, Dexter and The 4400. Anything with a compelling story and unpredictable twists! He writes because it's the only hobby he truly enjoys. It's like a project he feels the need to complete. He'd been through phase after phase and was often successful at deceiving himself about how much he loved a subject, but they always left him bored in the end. He writes for himself mainly but loves the idea of other people enjoying his work. The premise for A Death Displaced came to him a few years ago but he only acted on it in 2011. Plans for a series are in place and he expects to release Book Two in the series in 2013.

6. Lodestone by Wendy Scott - 2013-01-16 05:48:08-05
   Wendy Scott. As a child I had a ferocious imagination and immersed myself in creating stories and poems. One birthday I begged for a chemistry set, sensing the promise of adventure from the glittering vials of copper sulphate and salt. At that time, I didn’t know I was following in the footsteps of my grandfather who had studied science in Edinburgh in 1899. A further trace back into my Scottish ancestry uncovered an ancestor known as ‘the wizard’. So I could dabble with potions too, I gained a NZ Certificate in Science (Chemistry) and worked in a variety of laboratories (salt, meat, dairy and wine) in NZ and Australia. The wine tasted the best! During my 5 years in Adelaide, Australia, I completed several writing courses at the WEA. When my partner, son (5 months), dog and I moved back to NZ we lived in a house truck for 3 years while our off-the-grid house was planned and built. During this period I wrote on a solar powered laptop and completed many correspondence courses from the AWA. I write adult fantasy, children’s novels and I’m currently branching into romance. I have self published some of my fantasy novels as e-books. In 2012 my children’s MS, Hieroglyph was selected for the NZSA MS Assessment Programme and was further selected for one of five mini-mentorships. When I’m not glued to my laptop writing or engrossed in a book, I love walking my dog on the wild West Coast beaches and trolling for sea glass, riding my bike or going for bush walks. I always wished I could fly so maybe that’s why I love roller coasters. I’m a connoisseur of coffee and chocolate and I counter my addictions with Zumba and Spin classes. I believe life is an adventure and we should all live a life less ordinary.
