Russ Crossley | 2 comments Hi, everyone:

My name is Russ Crossley. I write SF/Fantasy/Romance/Mystery. I have 3 author names; my own for SF/Fantasy, RG Hart for romance, and RG Crossley for mystery. The only reason I do this is so readers will know the genre of the story of mine they choose/prefer to read.

I'm published in novel length by Sapphire Blue Publishing and 53rd Street Publishing (my own imprint). My short fiction has been published by St. Martins, Pocket Books, 53rd Street Publishing, and soon by Sapphire Blue Publishing.

I love to read and write, and my wife is a writer well.

Please check me out on Goodreads. Enjoy!

Jason  Ward (thewordofward) | 1 comments Hi everyone,

I'm Jason and usually work in TV and as a print journalist. I'll soon be branching into fiction with a trio of short stories coming out, followed by some travel writing. I'm sure I'll be back begging for reviews soon.

I have two websites: one is for reviews and a blog, the other is Scifi. The first is www.thewordofward.co.uk. There are links to the Sci fi one on the site. I don't want to fill this up with links.

Needless to say, I love reading and writing.
Cheers,
Jason

David Fleming (davidwallacefleming) | 4 comments I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you!

I've been writing for publication for over ten years. In that time I've had two short stories published; was working towards getting the novel published and then felt it might be best to get it out there as an ebook.

I also have a self-produced, self-narrated collection of short stories available at iTunes and Amazon.

Samples of my novel, short story collections and nonfiction can be found here: http://www.goodreads.com/davidwallace...

Karen Hammond (karenvancehammond) | 1 comments I am the author of Shoe Marks, a paranormal inspired by true events that took place in Texas. Shoe Marks has gained the attention of readers and has claimed its place in the paranormal genre. Shoe Marks has endorsements and reviews from CyFy Channel Ghost Hunters T.A.P.S. affiliates, Kevin Cook on Paranormal Mysteries, Inception Radio, Bob Kelly and Ian Hicken from Paranormal TV Network, a Fox News affiliate. A & E Peace River Ghost Trackers, Neal Parks from The Parks Radio Network and the Parks Paranormal Research Team. Apparitions Radio with Scott Zorasky, Houston Paranormal Research Team, Paranormal Encounters Radio, Kevin Smith from the Kevin Smith Show and Award-Winning authors just to name a few.

Synopsis:In 1899, Maggie Horton was the epitome of what every young woman wanted to be— married with children. She led a charmed life on her homestead in Ellensville, Texas, alongside a husband who worshipped the ground she walked on and a former lover who still desired her.

One unsuspecting day, her jealous husband swiftly ended her life. However, there was one thing she left behind that would stand the test of time—her shoe marks. After forty-five years, they still remain in the house she once lived in as well as her undying spirit. Why? Ever since Maggie was brutally murdered at the hands of the man she loved, her tormented soul searches for acceptance and love from a family who will stay for the long haul. Inspired by true events, this epic pillow grabbing paranormal is sure to put any movie thrill seeker on the edge of their seat. This is not just a story about a family and its attempt to comprehend the mysterious phenomena of the spirit world. Shoe Marks demonstrates the realities of war, love, romance, abandonment, adoption, fear, and the fight to survive.

Now available in Ebook and paperback at Synergebooks, Amazon, B&N (nook) and my web at www.karenvancehammond.com. Thank you for inviting me in to your book club! Karen

Billy Wong | 15 comments My name is Billy and I write mostly heroic fantasy with ridiculously tough heroines kicking major amounts of butt, including the Iron Flower series about a female epic warrior in the vein of Achilles or Beowulf, but with some more modern sensibilities.


message 17: by [deleted user] (new)

Hi everyone! I'm an indie-author with several YA novellas under my belt. My current WIP is a Fantasy NA novella, due to release late next year. I've included the jacket below. Eager to discuss with any interested readers!

“Men bow to nothing but gold, glory, flesh, and death.”

GOLD
Fifteen years ago, Cody lost everything when a dragon scorched her town. Now, the new Emerging approaches. Will Cody restore the prosperity of her family by slaying a dragon and reaping the reward?

GLORY
Orphaned and untitled, Wolfe has spent twenty years relying on the favoritism of his friends: the Duchess Zoe and the Crown Prince Fares. Slaying a dragon might be the only chance he has to make his mark…if he can live to tell about it.

FLESH
Amiable and aimlessly flirtatious, Fares has never wanted for a dime or a bedmate. But when his sweetheart is viciously mangled by Night Beasts, he will have to recruit a penniless whore to help save him.

DEATH
Penn has spent one-hundred-and-twenty years ferrying departed souls to the City of Eternal Sleep. Now he has a chance to recruit a dragon-slayer to take his place. But what will he do when he falls in love with his best candidate for conscription?

Castleberry pits girl against dragon in this stunning blend of Greek mythology and medieval lore. Readers will not quickly forget the diverse cast or the thrilling, sexy ride!
