Danielle Bryan
I didn’t start writing to become an author—I started writing to get the stories out of my head. One lyric in a song, a random comment overheard in passing—that’s all it takes. Suddenly, I’m somewhere else entirely, inside a world my mind has begun to build. What I didn’t realize at first? Getting one story out only makes room for more. It’s less “creative relief” and more “my brain is a hydra.”

I've loved to create stories for as long as I can remember; characters come tumbling out of my brain and worlds develop around them. I have always wanted to be a writer but, somehow, life got in the way - with writing happening "in between". Not that I regret the eddies of my life. I grew up in a lovely, noisy, active, Dutch/Indonesian-origin migrant family, the second child of eight with a father and mother who knew how to laugh, had a keen interest in not taking anything for granted, and loved to philosophise and read books; they valued education and thoughtfulness. Reflecting now on my childhood, I often wonder why, given that I was often scribbling stories, that my parents didn't encourage me to take up a writing career. I asked my moth

Jack Meyer
Jack became intrigued by thrillers when Tom Clancy's The Hunt for Red October was published in 1984. For the next 16 years he was content to read as much as he could and didn’t give writing much thought. That changed, however, during the 2000 Presidential election as he watched TV coverage of the Florida recount and the “hanging chads” controversy. It gave him the idea that an election conspiracy would be a great basis for a thriller. Unfortunately his career, which included management positions in corporate America and small business ownership as well as a brief stint in ministry, kept Jack too busy to write until he retired in 2020. That’s when he began his life as an author.

I like to write stories where the protagonists need to use clever tactics and proper teamwork to emerge victorious, making fights interesting and keeping you on the edge of your seat. That said, I'm a fan of cunning villains as well and not just fools getting outsmarted like no tomorrow. This makes each encounter's outcome unpredictable and intriguing, adding to the thrill of the story. Of course, I'm talking about major villains, not every small encounter.
