  Margaret Standafer

  I have been in love with reading since I was old enough to pick up a book. From helping Frodo save Middle Earth to screaming at Scarlett O’Hara to hurry up and realize Rhett Butler was the only man for her, books have taken me on countless adventures.
  
  It took me much longer to realize I also love writing. For years I ignored my husband’s subtle and not-so-subtle hints that I should give writing a try. He was convinced I could do it. I wasn’t. When I finally sat down and started to put some of the stories in my head down on paper, I discovered not only could I do it, I discovered a whole new world of possibilities and adventures…a world where I could control the outcome. I’ve never been happier!
  
  It is my sincere hope that you enjoy my writing

  Hi all, this is Dana. I live in Marina Del Rey, California with my son, Gus and my dog, Thompson. I grew up in N. Muskegon, Michigan. I've has worked at several film studios including Sony Pictures, 20th Century Fox and Marvel Studios as an advertising executive. I've been writing at a little joint in Santa Monica, CA. since I was 23 years old. It used to be called The Novel Cafe and now is called 212 Pier.
  At 212 Pier bookshelves line the walls and rickety tables are kept steady by sticking magazines under table legs. More frequently than one would hope -- a water pipe breaks and the ceiling has a minor cave-in on top of the cash register. But the food is very good. And the atmosphere is just right. A lot of writers h

  Ann Arnold

  I never intended on being a writer. I realize how controversial that statement is, but it's true. The only footsteps I ever wanted to follow was my father, Mark Schonwetter’s, right into the jewelry business. Writing seemed far beyond my scope of experience, though I have always loved to read, and my secret desire was to do just this. We have entered the time period where the true witnesses and victims of the Holocaust are dying, so we, as a society, are losing a vital source of truth. My family's experience during the war, the fortitude of my grandmother Sala and the strength of my father, is a treasured legacy. I was blessed to be given this legacy, and learn its lessons throughout my formative years. Now I want to share it with the world
