Craig Babin

About 4 years ago I made the decision to try and turn my part time drawing hobby into a full time income. I also decided that chronicling my journey while doing so, would be a good idea. So in December of 2020, I launched my YouTube channel and haven’t looked back since. Over the past 4 years I’ve uploaded around 84 videos covering the topics of self publishing, drawing, design, as well as how to get started on YouTube. And in that time I've also managed to pick up around 16,000 subscribers and set up a pretty decent passive income for myself.

Dexter V. Kennedy

Born a military brat in Columbus, GA
Later moved to various other locations, i.e., MD, NJ, OK, and Europe.

Like many, I became committed and determined after seeing "Fists of Fury." Immediately I started mimicking the moves I had seen. My first martial arts classes came by signing up for a six-week Taekwondo class taught by one of Eddie Gaston's black belts, a well-known martial artist in the Columbia area.

During the first week of classes, I became frustrated with the instructor's teaching methods and the limitations of the art, challenged the instructor, and beat him just from what I had learned from watching the movie. So, of course, I left that school and later found Genova Karate School. This is where I was tested and truly challenged.

While pursuing her writing career, Joanne has worked as: a public school teacher, a psychologist, a musician, a private detective's assistant, a corporate, legal, and pharmaceutical secretary, a short order cook, a florist's assistant, a caterer and party planner, a computer consultant on a now-defunct operating system, a production assistant on a TV quiz show, half of a screenwriting team with her husband, and a mo

Cara Bastone

Hi, I’m Cara!
I’m a full time writer living and writing in Brooklyn with my husband, son, and an almost-goldendoodle. My goal with my work is to find the swoon in ordinary love stories.

I’ve been a fan of the romance genre since I found a grocery bag filled with my grandmother’s old Harlequin Romances when I was in high school. I’m a fangirl for pretzel sticks, long walks through Prospect Park, and love stories featuring men who aren’t crippled by their own masculinity.
