Jessica Mann

I’m an award-winning writer and naturalist based in Teton Valley, Idaho and Ojai, CA.

Weaving together emotion, science, and mythology into realistic animal fiction, my unique stories are told from the point of view of animals to let readers ”see” through the eyes of wild birds and animals. The result is both entertaining and inspiring!

As a Master Naturalist, I work to protect wildlife and educate people about the natural world. I had a successful 35-year career in environmental health, where I founded Green Futures Unlimited and taught at the University of California- San Diego.

I am donating profits from the sale of my books to organizations dedicated to protecting birds and nature.

Hank Quense

Hank Quense writes satirical fantasy and sci-fi.
Early in his writing career, he was strongly influenced by two authors: Douglas Adams and his Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and Joseph Heller’s Catch-22. Happily, Hank has never quite recovered from those experiences.

I run a self-publishing and book marketing service, where I coach new and seasoned writers—whether you’re just polishing your first draft or sweating over your book’s launch. If you have questions about getting your book out into the world or making it actually sell, I’m always happy to share what I’ve learned.

Besides writing novels, nonfiction books and coaching, Hank lectures on fiction writing, publishing and book marketing.

Richard Harland

I was born in Yorkshire, England, then migrated to Australia at the age of twenty-one. I was always trying to write, but could never finish the stories I began. Instead I drifted around as a singer, songwriter and poet, then became a university tutor and finally a university lecturer. But after twenty-five years of writer’s block, I finally finished the cult novel, The Vicar of Morbing Vyle, and resigned my lectureship to follow my original dream.

Since then, I've had seventeen books published, all fantasy, SF or horror/supernatural, ranging from Children’s to Young Adult to Adult. My biggest success internationally has come with my YA steampunk fantasies, Worldshaker and its sequels. I've won six Aurealis Awards (Australia's Nebulas) and th

Haee is a real cat living in her home. Instead of writing as herself, she feels that it is less brutal seeing life through the eyes of a cat.

R.S. Vern holds a B.A. in English Literature, an M.A. in Communications, and a G.D. in Applied Positive Psychology.

R.S. Vern, also known as Vernice Chua, is the founder of Middling Industries.

In a recent interview, the author said, “You might have noticed that romance and inspirational are my niche genres. I write romance because I find it to be an intriguing genre. Relationships are quite involved in real life. Therefore, I use romance to depict the intricacies of relationships. Ultimately, it evolves into an inspirational and thought-provoking tale.

Readers will discover that I tend to tell love stories beyond the confines of romance. I strive to convey the kind of love that is much broader and more profo

Cal Lopez

Cal Lopez has spent his career building things—from AI platforms and drone fleets, to early childhood education programs that support neurodivergent kids. Cal has launched technology companies across three continents, collecting plenty of airport stories and more than a few mistakes along the way.

He's passionate about artificial intelligence, neurodiversity, and figuring out where people and code intersect. Writing fiction grew out of years spent bridging different worlds: business and classrooms, algorithms and family dinners, the drive to optimize, and the need to just be human.

The Ascension Directive is his first novel. It's a story about the risks and gifts of difference, the problems technology can (and can't) solve, and why love and i
