Michele (M.L.) Callahan is an award-winning author of sci-fi and romance. A full-time writer, some of her earliest movie memories are of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and light sabers. (Still waiting on Santa to come through on that one.) She wrote her first short story at age eleven in ten sloppy but action packed, wide-rule notebook pages. Her mother was an English teacher and inspired her love of reading and writing. Michele writes under multiple pen names and has published more than 50 novels in several genres of fiction. She loves dogs, tolerates cats, and is habitually nocturnal (no matter how hard she tries to change.) Happy Reading!

USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestseller M. L. “Matt” Buchman started writing on a flight south from Japan to ride his bicycle across the Australian Outback. Just part of a solo around-the-world trip that ultimately launched his writing career.
From the very beginning, his powerful female heroines insisted on putting character first, then a great adventure. He’s since written over 60 action-adventure thrillers and military romantic suspense novels. And just for the fun of it: 100 short stories, and a fast-growing pile of read-by-author audiobooks.
Booklist says: “3X Top 10 of the Year.” PW says: “Tom Clancy fans open to a strong female lead will clamor for more.” His fans say: “I want more now…of everything.” That his characters are even more insistent than his fans is a hoot.
As a 30-year project manager with a geophysics degree who has designed and built houses, flown and jumped out of planes, and solo-sailed a 50’ ketch, he is awed by what is possible.

Maquel A. Jacob (MAJ), is a writer of Gender Shifter Social Sci-Fi with a bit of romance, a touch of gore and much more. Growing up on B rated horror flicks, Star Wars and Harlequin books gave her the idea to blend genres; keeping things more interesting. At the tender age of twelve, she encountered her first Stephen King novel, then moved on to the darker stuff: Clive Barker.
Originally from the Windy City of Chicago, MAJ has been to half the United States, mostly by bus and train. She looks forward to seeing the rest before delving into foreign countries. Writing was always an escape from the harsh streets of the inner city and served her well.
There was a two year stint at The Art Institute studying digital film and video and cosmetology school where she became a certified nail technician. Her passion stems from always wanting to learn new things, because knowledge is power. Words can hold so much meaning and convey the wide spectrum of humanity.
Bruno Lombardi was born in Montreal in 1968. He has had a rather distressing tendency to be a weirdness magnet for much of his adult life. If your friend's cousin's brother-in-law tells you a story and swears it's true and that it 'happened to someone he knows', it was probably Bruno.
His hobbies include attempting to dissuade the cults that form around him, managing the betting pool on the next Weird Thing, and being a slave to his cat, Mynx. He currently lives in Ottawa and works as a civil servant for the Canadian government. Rumours that he secretly runs the Canadian government from his nuclear bunker with an android called 'Justin Trudeau' as a front have never been substantiated and are merely rumours. Honestly.
He has also met lots of people off the internet and has yet to be murdered by any of them; his cat, on the other hand, has other ideas.
"Snake Oil," published by Daverana Enterprises, is his first published novel. A second edition of "Snake Oil," published by Martinus Publishing, is now available.
His short story 'A Thursday Night at Doctor What's Time and Relative Dimensional Space Bar and Grill' appears in "The Temporal Element" anthology.
His short story 'Gold Fever' appears in the "Quests, Curses, & Vengeance" anthology.
His short stories 'A Single Decision' and 'The Road was lit with Moon and Star' appears in the "Altered America" anthology.
His short stories 'A Company of Deaths' and 'Rendezvous' appears in the "To Hell with Dante" anthology.
His short story 'For the Times They Are A-Changin'' appears in the "Yarr! A Space Pirate Anthology"
He can be reached on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bruno-Lombardi-Author-Page/434916096583689
M.E. Owen writes science fiction, fantasy and crime, often in the same story.
She lives on the wet side of Washington state, and when not writing, plays with honking big transportation geodatabases, occasionally kayaks and more occasionally throws knives (not all at once, but that would be cool).
M.E., being the first granddaughter on both sides of the family, got named after a long line of women who hated their names. Kiddies, don’t do that to your kiddies. This is why M.E. also goes by Lisa.
Her short work has appeared in Abyss & Apex, Fireside Fiction, Fiction River, Flash Fiction Online, and elsewhere. You can keep up with her at www.MEOwen.com.
Author of about forty books, Michael Warren Lucas lives in Detroit, Michigan. Learn more at https://mwl.io.
Once you walk into the twisted imagination of Michael Lucas, you really won’t want to leave… – Kristine Kathryn Rusch, multiple Hugo award winning author of The Retrieval Artist
"Michael Lucas is one of those rare writers who can make nail-biter action and gut-wrenching drama dance together and not have either stepping on the other's toes. Throw this up against a bleak post-apocalyptic world with one of the most original concepts of alien invasion I've come across, and you end up with a hell of a story. Not to mention the beautifully grotesque imagery depicting the strange denizens of this chilling landscape." - Rob Cornell, author of "Darker Things"

Bonnie Elizabeth could never decide what to do, so she wrote stories about amazing things and sometimes she even finished them.
While rejection stung her so badly in person, she spent most of her young life talking to cats and dogs rather than people, she was unusually resilient when it came to rejections on her writing, racking up a good number of them.
Floating through a variety of jobs, including veterinary receptionist, cemetery administrator, and finally acupuncturist, she continued to write stories.
When the internet came along (yes, she’s old), she started blogging as her cat, because we all know cats don’t notice rejection. Then she started publishing.
Bonnie writes in a variety of genres. Her popular Whisper series is contemporary fantasy and her Teenage Fairy Godmother series is written for teens. She has published in a number of anthologies and is working on expanding her writing repertoire.
She lives with her husband (who talks less than she does) and her three cats, who always talk back.
You can find out more about her books at her website, www.bonnieelizabeth.com
