Frank S. Joseph

Frank S Joseph's award-winning “Chicago Trilogy” novels -- TO LOVE MERCY, TO WALK HUMBLY and TO DO JUSTICE -- tell a story of lives forever changed by racial turmoil that marked and marred Chicago at mid century, a great city going up in flames.

Frank lived it. He came of age in the ’40s and ’50s as a sheltered White boy in comfortable South Side neighborhoods undergoing racial turnover and “white flight." And in his 20s, as an Associated Press correspondent, he covered the ’60s riots that wracked Chicago’s inner city as well as the '67 Detroit riot, where 37 died, and the notorious '68 Democratic National Convention street disorders.

Frank left Chicago in 1969, landed at The Washington Post during Watergate, and went on to a career as an aw

Michele Levy

Born a Yankee in Providence, Rhode Island, after seven years in Boston, I moved with my family to Wisconsin and Northern Virginia. Then I continued the southern trend with graduate studies in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and followed my Brooklyn-born husband even farther south, to New Orleans. Twenty-six years later, we traded the Superdome (seven minutes away from our house by car) for the North Carolina woods. This wandering stripped away my Boston accent, leaving a tendency to enunciate clearly that made New Orleanians think I was from England.

From the age of four I have played classical piano and read voraciously. But an exposure to Balkan dance in high school kindled what became a life-long passion. Still, my love for D. H. Lawrence an

Jay Anderson

Picture this: I’m juggling a 60-hour workweek, wrangling three acres of Texas land, and trying to be the best husband, father, and-my favorite title-Grandpa. And then, on a complete whim, I dove headfirst into the world of storytelling.

It all began with a simple Ancestry DNA test and a family tree that brought my Scottish roots roaring to life. Suddenly, I was obsessed with all things Scottish and Irish, especially the legendary Battle of Culloden. One day, as I was about to step into the shower, a wild thought struck me: What if the Jacobites had advanced weapons at Culloden? That spark became a blaze-imagine a 150-man Scottish Highland regiment, trained for modern warfare, suddenly transported back in time, one week before the fateful bat
