   Author Bio:
   Wilson Feliz is a new Young Adult and Adult fictional writer based out of the United States. Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Feliz is currently serving his country as a member of the US Army.

   While his day job keeps him grounded on whatever post he’s stationed at, Feliz’s work as an author allows him to whisk his readers away to different worlds at the turn of a page. According to Feliz, writing has always been an outlet. “Even when I was a kid, I’d write poems and short stories as a way to get out of my head and focus on something other than everyday life. My imagination was always a little strange and out there.”

   It was his “out there” imagination that led Feliz to craft the world of Sindergan in his first full-length novel, The Forbidden Forest Series: Book One, The Dragon Holder.

   “The Dragon Holder literally came out of nowhere,” Feliz stated. “I had read stories about dragons and fantasy worlds, but Liam’s story was something that came from my heart.”

   It was Feliz’s strong family bonds and sense of loyalty that played heavily on the creation of his characters. “What you’ll see in all my books is that there is no bond like love…All of my characters have a strong sense of loyalty and a deep need to protect their own. The Dragon Holder was my first attempt to express that part of myself. Yes, the book is a fantasy novel about a different land — full of magic and mystery — but at its heart, The Dragon Holder is about a young man stepping into his role as a protector, taking everything he learned as a boy and using it to take care of others.”

   In his own life, Feliz takes his theme of family loyalty to heart. When he’s not writing, Feliz is a homebody who loves spending time with his family.

   Feliz is currently working on The Dragon Holder sequel, as well as a non-fantasy fictional novel, Mason Cartel.

3. The Rose Ring by Lucie Ulrich

   About The Rose Ring by Lucie Ulrich:

   With Micah Cooper’s overbearing grandfather dead and buried, Micah plans to run the family ranch his way. His way lasts until the reading of the will–a will that reads like a piece of far-fetched fiction. Not only must he work side-by-side with, Noah, his estranged brother, but one of them has to marry in order to keep the ranch in the family.

   Unwilling to give his brother, the upper hand, Micah asks high school friend, Sky Baxter, to consider an in-name-only marriage. What Micah doesn’t realize is that Sky has been in love with him since high school. At first angered by his blunt proposition, Sky knows she’ll do anything to help the one person who got her through four rough high school years.

   For Sky, marrying is the easy part. Dealing with her new husband’s unexpected moods, the tension between brothers, Micah’s feisty Aunt Annie, and the return of Micah’s ex girlfriend are enough to make her wonder if she’ll make it through two months, never mind two years.

   When two accidents occur in the same day, Micah and Sky’s relationship is tested to the breaking point, and after a long-kept secret is brought to the forefront, nothing but prayer and faith in a God none of them have turned to in a long time will get them through.

   Author Bio:
   Lucie Ulrich took her time becoming a writer. Not much of a reader as a child, writing was of no interest to her–until she joined a church drama team. The desire to write a skit, and not simply act out someone else’s was so strong, that once she started, she couldn’t seem to stop. That first skit led to her becoming the drama team director, then eventually, the performing arts director at a small Christian school.

   Lucie’s first novel was penned under a tree in a field in Holland. Though her first, second, and third attempts never saw the light of day, parts of each of them became the foundation for “Broken Vessels,” her first published work.

   No longer involved with the performing arts, Lucie enjoys going on photo shoots with her husband, and taking long (or short) road trips. She hopes to find inspiration as she and her husband explore the four corners of the United States.

9. Now You See It . . . By Teresa Roblin

   About Now You See It . . . By Teresa Roblin:

   The harder she resists him, the faster her clothes will vanish.

   Outspoken Sarah Santorelli hides her sensitive side behind a gruff personality. Fear of abandonment causes her to manipulate romantic relationships to avoid involving her heart. But when her prying aunt casts a spell on her, Sarah ends up on a voyage of discovery on the open seas.

   The problem? Every time Sarah lets her guard down, instead of casting off her emotional barriers —the spell makes an item of clothing disappear.

   Anthony Mancini has clawed his way to the top. Along the way he’s become a workaholic, putting the demands of his company above those he loves. That’s how he lost Sarah, and he wants a second chance to prove he’s changed.

   Thanks to Aunt Lilly’s spell, and a week-long European cruise, stripping Sarah of her defenses just got easier.

   Author Bio:
   Teresa has a tendency to daydream in class. She should pay more attention.”

   That’s what one of my elementary teachers wrote on my report card. I’m an adult now and I haven’t changed a bit.

   In 2000, I started writing my first book, Hocus Pocus, and within seven months it was completed. My second book, Now You See It . . . , a year later. Naïve daydreamer that I am, I thought this is it, I’m going to get published. Optimistic, I entered my first book in a contest and placed last in the paranormal category.

   So what did I do? I joined RWA, my local chapter, took writing courses, on-line workshops, talked to other writers and joined a critique group. By 2004, I was finally placing second and third in contests.

   Now, everyone can read my books and share in my daydreams and understand why I usually walk around with a grin on my face.
