4. Silly Like… - Christine Whang wrote Silly Like...
   
5. Grishma - Kelly Anne Blount was born in Madison, WI. After attending college, she moved to the Cayman Islands to teach elementary school. While living there, she met the love of her life and was married in a beautiful ceremony on the Caribbean Sea. After returning stateside, Kelly started to pursue another passion, writing. She recently wrote her first young fantasy adult novel in between teaching preschoolers with special needs and taking care of her husband and their five furry rescues. Kelly also enjoys reading in her free time. Her favorite genres are YA fantasy, MG, paranormal romance, and the occasional thriller.
   
6. Topnotch Trivia Name the States Edition - I have always enjoyed playing games, especially trivia games. Since I find trivia so fun, I decided to start writing my own trivia books! I also love traveling, and have been fortunate to travel to 47 of the 50 states. (Louisiana, Alaska, and Hawaii are the only ones I'm missing) This book combines my love of travel and trivia.
   
7. Gateway to Reality - Becca J. Campbell is the author of the romantic and fantastical novels Foreign Identity, Gateway to Reality, and Empath (coming August 2013). An avid lover of stories that tiptoe the line between fantasy and reality (even when they plunge off one side or the other), Becca looks for new angles on bridging the gap between the two. She holds a special place in her heart for any story that involves superpowers or time travel. Her passion is defying the limits of her own creativity.
   
8. It’s a Breeze – 42 Lively Lessons on American Idioms - Toni Aberson wrote It's a Breeze - 42 Lively Lessons on American Idioms
   
9. 11 Compelling Conversations Topics: Questions and Quotations for Level 2 (Advanced) Speaking Students - Toni Aberson and Eric Roth wrote 11 Compelling Conversations Topics: Questions and Quotations for Level 2 (Advanced) Speaking Students
   
10. The Warrior’s Wife by Denise Domning - Denise Domning is the award-winning, best-selling author of eleven historical novels and the co-author with Monica Sarli of one gritty, hard-bitten memoir of addiction and recovery. Of the two genres she frankly prefers the rats, grime and fleas of the Twelfth Century over the ghettos and drug use of modern Kansas City. For Denise, writing means using words as her time machine and painting an accurate portrait of a past. Open any of her novels, whether Twelfth, Thirteenth, Sixteenth or Nineteenth Century, and step into a bygone era. As one reviewer put it "...you live the life and the language, smell the odors of unwashed humanity, and hear the sucking sounds as your flimsy shoes slog through mud and muck." Now doesn't that sound romantic? Denise and her husband Ed live on a farm in Cornville (yes, Cornville), Arizona, where they plant veggies, milk cows and have an Easter egg hunt every day.
    
11. Warrior of Light: Messages from My Guides and Angels - Kevin Hunter is an author, love expert, healer and channeler. His spiritually based self-help and inspirational books include, "Warrior of Light: Messages from my Guides and Angels", "Reaching for the Warrior Within" and "Connecting with the Archangels". His previous books geared towards the dude-lit genre, include the thriller/drama, "Paint the Silence", the modern day erotic love story, "Jagger's Revolution" and the young adult dating hand guide, "Dude 101". His books tend to have a strong male protagonist where he tackles a variety of subjects. He started out in the entertainment industry at the age of 23 working with actress, Michelle Pfeiffer. He worked as her development assistant for her film production company at the time, Via Rosa Productions. This led him to a successful career working on Hollywood studio film productions such as "One Fine Day", "A Thousand Acres", "The Deep End of the Ocean", "Crazy in Alabama", "Original Sin", "The Perfect Storm", "Dr. Dolittle 2" and "Carolina".
    
12. Shadow on the Moon by Connie Flynn - I have been writing fiction for so long I can barely remember when I didn't. Sometimes people ask where I get my ideas and I can't comment too much on "ideas" either, since they come one at a time from different sources. SHADOW ON THE MOON came from a submission call for paranormal romance and since vampires were already fairly well owned I decided to do werewolves. After that it became--and this is true for all books--a matter of putting the story together, scene by scene, then going back and making sure to leave in the good parts and take out the boring parts (which is my writing motto). That seems to work for me. I've made a half dozen or so national bestseller lists, won a PRISM award for my sci-fi time-travel and been a finalist in a number of other well known writing contest. Now, I'm jumping into the pool of previously traditionally published authors who are choosing to publish independently. I'm truly enjoying the freedom and control this gives an author.
