    About David Martin by Kyle Michel Sullivan

    David Martin was invited to go on the journey of a lifetime to meet a legendary king…but he couldn’t believe it. He was just a boy of twelve summers, and this was a man he’d revered his entire life. The honor was great and his excitement was boundless. However, during the six-day journey to the castle, David learned not everyone thought so well of the king, and he began to wonder if the man was truly the hero he’d imagined…or if he’d always been nothing but a legend.

    Author Bio:
    Annette Evans (nee Ludwig) was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. As a child, she loved to read Nancy Drew Mysteries. In her teen years, she fell in love with the romance genre. Annette counts earlier Danielle Steel novels, Judith McNaught, and Linda Lael Miller among some of her favorite romance authors.

    In her late 20′s, Annette moved to the eastern shore of Maryland. That is when she began writing poetry. Two of her poems have been published in an anthology book. She quickly turned to writing fiction.

    About this same time, she met and married a wonderful man, Jim. They, along with their youngest daughter and three very spoiled dogs, live on the picturesque eastern shore of Virginia. She enjoys reading, writing, playing board games, and spending quiet moments with her husband on the enormous deck he built adjacent to their home.

  3. Maximilian and Carlotta Are Dead

    macad_coverAbout Maximilian and Carlotta Are Dead:

    In the summer of 1971, Dallas Green and Lonnie McKay made a spur-of-the-moment decision to leave their hot, dusty San Joaquin Valley farming town and head south to Mexico in Lonnie’s 1965 Chevy. They told each other they were going down there to find a friend who had disappeared a few years before, but the truth was that what they were really looking for was an escape from work, the draft, the war, and the prospect of having to finally grow up. What they found was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that would change them forever. Maximilian and Carlotta Are Dead is the debut novel of Scott R. Larson.

He currently lives in the West of Ireland where he writes one of the internet’s longest running film blogs.

He is a longtime fan of the books of J.R.R. Tolkien and the TV shows Dark Shadows, Babylon 5 and Doctor Who.

    Rookie-Privateer-Cover-smallerAbout Rookie Privateer by Jamie McFarlane:

    When you are old enough to finally become an Earth Mars citizen, everything should be perfect. Right? Not for Liam Hoffen. He’s stuck on a mining asteroid called Colony 40, helping his father work a claim that is never going to pay out. His best friend, Nick James is set for life in James’ Rental business and Liam just discovered that the girl he’s known forever thinks he’s pretty great and now she’s leaving for the Mars Naval Academy.

    Liam dreams of sailing the stars. Whenever he gets the chance, he jets into space and floats, wishing to be free of the asteroid that has claimed him. What he doesn’t realize is that fate is about to change everything.

    Sometimes you have to lose parts of yourself to gain the stars, and Liam discovers that while it isn’t easy to literally lose parts of yourself to the pirates who attacked your home, gaining the stars is worth everything.

    He and Nick are about to find out what the real world has to offer and they end up meeting exciting people along the way.

    Author Bio:
    I’ve always been a story teller but only recently have a drummed up the courage to share my stories in writing. When my kids were young one of our favorite activities was to lay in bed, just before bedtime and make up stories. They would get to pick out some of the characters and I’d just start spinning the tale. They loved making me backup and change the story to fit their mind for the night. Since they are all too old for this now, I’ve taken to writing.

    Today I am pleased to make my first two works available to you on Amazon. They are both set in the Privateer Tales universe. The first book, Rookie Privateer is the cornerstone of the series. It introduces the main cast. The second book, Fool Me Once, is a shorter, novella length work. While preparing Rookie Privateer for publication, I found myself daydreaming about what must have happened to one of the pirates that we were introduced to in Rookie Privateer and so Fool Me Once was introduced.

    Currently I’m working on the third book, a full length novel, with a working title of Parley. As of middle of June, I’m about 65% done with the writing and hope to have a delivered product by Fall of 2014.

    My influences are pretty wide ranging. Recent works I have enjoyed are; Elizabeth Moon’s Vatta’s war, Nathan Lowell’s Solar Clipper Tales. Perhaps my favorite modern author is L.E. Modesitt Jr. with his Recluce and Imager series. Early on I enjoyed just about anything Heinlein wrote, including, Starship Troopers and Have Spacesuit – Will Travel. I also loved Asimov, Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle and when they got together for A Mote in God’s Eye it was magic!

    I have had to separate my writing career from my professional career so as to not make things too confusing at work, so, yes Jamie McFarlane is a pseudonym. All of my writing is done in the evening hours and on the weekends. I have to admit to looking forward to coming home every evening so that I can spend time with my imaginary friends.
