Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz

Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz was a Polish journalist and author of over a dozen popular novels.

After graduating from gimnazjum (high school) in Vilna (now Vilnius, Lithuania), then Russian Empire in 1915 he embarked upon law studies at the University of Kiev.

Athanasius of Alexandria

born perhaps 293

Greek patriarch Saint Athanasius, known as "the Great," of Alexandria led defenders of Christian orthodoxy against Arianism.

An Athanasian follows him, especially in opposition to Arianism.

Christians attributed Athanasian Creed, which dates probably from the fifth century, but people now consider its unknown origin.

People also refer to Athanasius (Arabic: البابا أثناسيوس الرسولي, as the Confessor and the Apostolic, primarily in the Coptic Church; he served as the twentieth bishop. From 8 June 328, his episcopate lasted, but four different Roman emperors ordered him to spend five exiles for 17 years.

Peter C. Bradbury

I write mainly dark, disturbing, sometimes racy thrillers. My other novels are murder tales. Someone told me that "I write with a scalpel rather than a pen The pacing. The perversion. The no-BS delivery. It’s rare to find an author willing to lean fully into the darkness of power, seduction, and consequence the way you do, without softening the edges."
I used to be an English Butler for almost 25 years, and it was those experiences that inspired me to start writing.
Raised in a small town called Shaw, which is in the north eastern part of Greater Manchester, UK. I moved to the USA in 1994 after meeting and marrying my wife Debbie in Redwood City.
Now retired, I live just north of Redding in Northern California but I wake up early at the weeke

Zyta Rudzka

Polska dramatopisarka, pisarka, poetka, publicystka, autorka scenariuszy filmów dokumentalnych, psychoterapeutka wyspecjalizowana w poradnictwie z zakresu seksuologii. Zaczynała jako poetka. W r. 1989 ogłosiła tomik wierszy Ruchoma rzeczywistość, z czasem objawiła się jako prozatorka, wydając – bardzo dobrze przyjętą przez krytykę – powieść Białe klisze (1993). Już wówczas doszedł do głosu charakterystyczny dla Rudzkiej styl narracji powieściowej – silnie zmetaforyzowany, zorganizowany wokół archetypów i symboli, zrodzony zapewne z inspiracji psychoanalitycznych. Pisarka chętnie umieszcza swej opowieści w umownych realiach, lubi wszelkiego typu uniwersalizacje, zwłaszcza te, które mówią o spotkaniu kobiety i mężczyzny, do jakiego dochodzi j
