10. Devil’s Mountain by Bernadette Walsh - I have always been a bookworm and had always meant to write a novel “someday.” You know, when I won the lottery and could live in beach house and look out onto the water and feel inspired. Five years ago I decided to stop waiting for my winning lottery ticket and sat down and started writing. In between work and family obligations, I piled the words on top of each other until they formed sentences, paragraphs, chapters and eventually a book. My first novel, a contemporary romance, Gold Coast Wives, was published by Lyrical Press in November 2011. My second, The House on Prospect, was published by Echelon Press in January, 2012. The four books of my paranormal series, The Devlin Legacy (comprised of Devil’s Mountain; Devil’s Shore; Devil’s Daughter; and The Devlin Witch) were published by Lyrical Press between June 2012 and September 2013. While I’ve hopped around genres, all of my books to date have a common theme: strong women handling what life throws at them the best way they can. I also host a show on blogtalkradio, Nice Girls Reading Naughty Books, where I interview various members of the publishing industry. In 2013 I was named a “featured host” by blogtalkradio. Further information about my books and radio show can be found at http://www.bernadettewalsh.com.

12. Stop Fighting Your Weight (& lose it): 10 THINGS YOU WISH YOU KNEW - Curiosity may have killed that feline fur ball, but she or him learned a lot before exiting number nine. I too have been curious, wondering why we, I or they acted this way, looked or did it that way or were otherwise human. But curiosity is such a casual word, and the truth is my desire to know was almost desperate. There were times in life that I felt angry when there was no one around, unhappy when life was just fine, times I had trouble with relationships for absolutely no reason, and I felt sad when…well, you get the idea. That desperate curiosity, along with forty years of inner work, has lead to some interesting answers. Besides curious, I am also a writer who began with a column in the San Jose Mercury News, nationally syndicated. My current project is this column and series of books, “Things That Make Life Better”. I also love talking with those courageous people who are going for a positive change, and I live to see that eye-widening moment of understanding—the kind you will experience right here. So from the central coast of the North American west, I submit these curious book jottings of curiosity to be browsed by those who will hopefully find them just as helpful as they could have ever wished.

We live in Hidden Valley Lake just outside of Lawrenceburg, Indiana. My wife told me a few years ago to start using my time more wisely. I was traveling for work quite a bit during that time and spent many weeks away from home in hotel rooms. I had the story line for Real Immortals rolling around in my head and it wouldn't go away. So I thought I would try to get it down on paper. A year and a half went by and the manuscript was finished. Then the fun began. I thought the writing part was the hardest. RIGHT! The book went through two copy edits, one complete re-write and several grammar edits before it was finally published on August 28, 2013. I only hope Immortal Vengeance goes quicker now that I have Learned a few things. My family has been amazingly supportive. My son Trever was instrumental in the first book and now he is a co-author for the second. My passion is to create a series of fantasy/fiction novels based on legendary biblical and fictitious characters and their direct intervention with the human race. Do You Believe? Real Immortals is out on Amazon, Smashwords & Paperback. You can contact me on FB http://on.fb.me/1e9ljYp John T. Montgomery
