Where Awesome Book Readers Meet Awesome Writers

1. Bishop’s Angel by Tory Richards - I'm a fifty-something author who discovered my passion for writing and story telling at the ripe old age of thirteen. Before I received my first manual typewriter, with pencil in hand, I would jot my stories down on notebook paper. Later, after receiving that desired typewriter I spent hours in my bedroom, where my parents thought I was doing homework. Writing turned out to be a kind of therapy for me, something I didn't realize until years later. Writing is a hobby for me, something I do during the quiet of the evenings and on my weekends. My goals are simple and realistic. I'll be happy if I'm just making enough "mad money" from it to be able to keep my cats fed, travel a little, and spoil my grandchildren. I'll travel any place a cruise ship will take me. I've been to: Greece, Italy, Croatia, Spain, and Alaska just to name a few places. I don't like to fly, even before I found myself on a plane on 9/11, but I will if I'm given enough legal drugs. I collect antiques and art, and I love chocolate, who doesn't? And I'm addicted to good coffee and sweet ice tea. McDonald's hazelnut iced coffee has been on my favorite list for quite some time. So has Dunkin Donuts mocha iced coffee. For a while life got in the way of my dreams. A few years ago I decided to get serious and I haven't looked back! My publishers are: Ellora's Cave, Whiskey Creek Press Torrid, The Wild Rose Press, Liquid Silver Books, and Total-E-Bound. I am also self-published at Smashwords, Amazon, All Romance Ebooks, and Coffee Time Romance.

6. Sunshine - Ian Williams grew up in Durham, in the north of England. He spent most of his time buried between the pages of Conan Doyle, Stephen King and J.D. Salinger and hiding under the sheets reading M.R. James, the scariest stories he'd ever read. He had a go at writing his first book when he was still at school. He thought it was a pretty good read. Some agreed, most didn't. After university he moved to Spain and read Hemingway, Orwell and Laurie Lee in the cities and places they'd lived. He thought it was time he had another go at the writing lark. He's still writing, and teaching it too, close to where he lives in York, back in the north of England where people speak proper and beer tastes as it should. M.R. James still sends him diving under the bedsheets.

Have you ever been taught about finances? I'd guess not, and if so you are lucky to meet with me and my books. Unfortunately there is no financial education in this world! If you were not raised in a financially educated home, you would be doomed to endless costly mistakes during your life, mostly out of pure disinformation. This doesn't have to be your case, you can change your life. I hold a B.Sc in Economics and Management from Israel's leading university, the Technion. During my previous career, up until several years ago, I had managed for more than 20 years factories and acquisitions divisions and advised several industry-leading small and large scale businesses across the globe. The experience and knowledge I had gained during those years brought me to transform my career and concentrate on my biggest interest and pleasure: Financial Planning. While writing my books I have always been guided by a single goal in mind. My goal and foremost desire is to help everyone understand the financial world surrounding us and enjoy it as much as I do. After meeting hundreds of clients I decided to enlarge my outreach and share my knowledge through my books, focusing on the topics I found to be most interesting and relevant. With more than 25 years of expertise investing in stocks and real-estate, including of course taking care of my own family's budget, I offer you in my books precious advises and practices to wisely use your money and reach retirement richer and happier. I am happily married and raise three wonderful children. Voluntarily I lead the local small business association and serve as a member of the local BNI networking group I truly hope and believe that my books will help you learn new interesting lessons and make your family's wealth greater while making the handling of all financial issues a pleasure rather than a burden. Enjoy and Good Luck.
