Steven Pressfield

I was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad, in 1943 to a Navy father and mother.

I graduated from Duke University in 1965.

In January of 1966, when I was on the bus leaving Parris Island as a freshly-minted Marine, I looked back and thought there was at least one good thing about this departure. "No matter what happens to me for the rest of my life, no one can ever send me back to this freakin' place again."

Forty years later, to my surprise and gratification, I am far more closely bound to the young men of the Marine Corps and to all other dirt-eating, ground-pounding outfits than I could ever have imagined.

GATES OF FIRE is one reason. Dog-eared paperbacks of this tale of the ancient Spartans have circulated throughout platoons of U.S. troops

When Ellis was 21, his first novel, the controversial bestseller Less than Zero (1985), was published by Simon & Schuster. His third novel, American Psycho (1991), was his most successful. Upon its release the literary establishment widely condemned it as overly violent and misogynistic. Though many petitions to ban the book saw Ellis dropped by Simon & Schuster, the resounding controversy convinced Alfred A. Knopf to release it as a paperback later that y

Since the release of Deaf Beneath, I switched my line of focus from an in-person educational setting to a more remote digital engagement.

Beth Brower

Like many of my siblings, I would sneak out of bed, slip into the hallway, and pull my favorite books from the book closet. I read my way through the bottom shelf, then the next shelf up, and the shelf above that, until I could climb to the very top shelf, stacked two layers deep and two layers high, and read the titles of the classics. My desire to create stories grew as I was learning to read them.

Subsequently, I spent my time scribbling in notebooks rather than listening to math lectures at school.

I graduated with a degree in literary studies, and have spent several years working on the novels that keep pounding on the doors of my mind, as none of my characters are very patient to wait their turn. I currently live in Orem, Utah, with m

Mario Karma

Mario KarMa is a contemporary Greek author. He was born on March 29, 1978 in Piraeus. Curiosity-driven from an early age,

he was always fascinated by the strange, inexplicable, and metaphysical element; he liked watching horror movies, do jugglery tricks, and write poems.

At the age of 13, he began to write his first work: a poetry collection where he described–always in his own personal way- his thoughts, worries, distress, as well as his personal experiences, both pleasant and unpleasant. Growing up, he never stopped writing, managing to significantly limit his dyslexia, even use it to his advantage by committing to paper all the images he had in his mind, no matter how difficult it was.
