1. Sky Hunter by Chris Reher

   About Sky Hunter by Chris Reher:

   Air Command pilot Nova Whiteside is assigned to a remote outpost to guard the construction of a new tethered orbiter, Skyranch Twelve, against rebel sabotage. The difference between the well-ordered Union air fields and this dusty garrison is made painfully clear when she runs afoul a brutal commander of ground troops.

   When she is trapped behind enemy lines in a bloody uprising she meets Djari, a civilian whose trust in the governing Union is shattered by what he has witnessed.

   Aboard the elegant new space station not all runs according to protocol and she soon suspects that more than farming is being done up there. When she uncovers the treacherous and illicit schemes taking place, it seems that local riots are the least of their troubles.

   Author Bio:
   I am a first generation Canadian currently and out of necessity residing on planet Earth (which, in the general and interplanetary scheme of things could REALLY use a catchier name, if you ask me. I mean, imagine heading past Proxima Centauri and someone asks you whence you came and you tell them “dirt”. All theological implications aside, that just won’t do.)

   My first full-length work of fiction, Flight To Exile, is a fantasy which, I just realized, takes place on a planet that doesn’t have a name at all and blurs the line between sci-fi and fantasy in ways that are probably illegal.

   I then headed out far beyond Proxima Centauri and found a nifty story that soon turned into a Space Opera complete with wormholes and improbable laser guns. What fun. Laws of physics need not apply if you find a way to explain them away.
   The series stars Nova Whiteside as a space marine whose pesky humanity keeps getting in the way of her doing her job according to protocol.
   Currently, there are four books in the series, with two more planned.

   When not finding ways to torture my subjects or entice them with inter-species hanky-panky, I design web sites or write about designing web sites. I enjoy long walks on the beach or, given the local beach shortage, write about beaches far beyond Proxima Centauri.

   I am a burger flipper by day and wannabe writer by night.

   On my days off I enjoy a long walk at a brisk pace so that I do not blow out like a balloon.

   I am also a geek who plays video games and watches the odd movie.

   My imagination is somewhat vivid and sometimes messed up (if you don’t believe me,just ask my workmates!)

   I can be charmingly sarcastic when I want to(for some reason the ladies don’t appreciate my views on the world around us too much,though).

   Basically I am just your average Aussie bloke who likes his sport and saying MATE a lot.

   Author Bio:
   My name is Daniel and I’m 33 years old. I’ve always considered myself a moral person and I lived for many years with an internal dissonance – The desire for animal products, collided with the heavy ethical baggage eating them brought.

   But at the age of 28 I decided to change. It was after I spent 6 days in a meditation course (Vipassana) which is held in complete silence that I declared: – “That’s it, I’m a vegan!”

   When I came back from Vipassana I was troubled. I had no idea what to eat Because my knowledge about vegan cooking was very poor. So I decided to contact members of our worldwide community through forums. I asked for recipes and tips and the response was amazing! I decided to leverage my passion for food and find the ultimate solutions to our community by writing a vegan cookbook.

   My vision was to write a series of cookbooks which contain vegan recipes and distribute them to as many people as possible. Each book focuses on one type of food and shows that there are dozens of ways to prepare food that contain only natural products. These books incorporate original recipes and are especially devoted to our wonderful community to enjoy and distribute them.

   Proud Supporters of Hockey Fights Cancer

   The way the idea for the anthology came to me isn’t all that straightforward, but that’s not how my brain works, so no big surprise there! Lol! Basically I started seeing how many anthologies were out there and how well some of them were doing. I thought my readers would love something like that and wouldn’t it be great for them to find new authors that share my love for The Game? (That’s what I often call hockey, which explains the title!)

   Around the same time as I was considering a hockey themed anthology, I came across ‘Hockey Fights Cancer’ and thought it would be awesome if the authors could contribute to the cause. The ebook industry is growing and with the potential amount we could raise from sales—well, the money could do a lot of good.

   Now, there were so many different ways to donate the royalties from the anthology, but I didn’t want it to be a small percentage, so I started talking to other authors, our wonderful cover artist, our editor, my own assistant Stacey Price who does amazing with formatting. Everyone was willing to contribute for FREE. Which meant 100% of what the book earns will be contributed by the authors for the next year. Having the opportunity to do that is incredible and humbling and I’m so grateful to everyone who’s been involved.

   This will be the first year for the anthology and we’ll be sharing its success with all the readers.
