J.R. Alcyone
Born of a dream that her words might make a tiny dent in an unfeeling and cold universe, J.R. Alcyone (1980-2025) was known for her affinity for semicolons and stubborn refusal to write marketable fiction. Those who knew her best understood that her work came from a place of fierce love—for truth; beauty; and the messy, complicated business that is being human.
Buy books on Amazon
In the end, J.R. Alcyone succumbed to severe OCD, abysmal sales, random “one/two-star reviewitis,” and the realization that peace is underrated and more valuable than having published novels. Her only regret was that her profiles and books could not be completely scrubbed from Goodreads and Amazon; nothing would have made her happier than to vanish into the ether as a testament to her -
J.C. Paulson
J.C. Paulson thinks a mystery can, and perhaps should, also be a love story.
Buy books on Amazon
Switching from fact (journalism) into fiction (novels, mostly) later in life, it seemed a natural thing to combine the two. Evil versus good. Hate versus love. Think Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane, and a host of cozy mystery couples — not that her novels are very cozy.
Changing the world would be nice, too. Fiction allows us to swallow the bitter pills of social injustice and still (hopefully) be entranced, entertained and entangled in their solutions.
A rabid reader of mystery novels, J.C. Paulson has long admired the works of Dorothy Sayers, P.D. James, Louise Penny and Ann Cleeves.

I’ve been in love with books for as long as I remember myself. The typewriter my first attempts at writing had been made at still sits proudly on its shelf in the basement, and when I go down there, I always have an urge to save it from its exile.
Buy books on Amazon
I’ve always been writing something. Diaries, letters, poems, short stories. I’d even attempted to write a novel a couple of times when I was about thirteen. Still, there was always something more important than my writing.
There was always “real life” reminding me of its undeniable claims. “You have to study, you have to work, there is no place for fruitless dreaming,” it whispered. And I moved forward as if running on rails I couldn’t step down from.

Vanita Shukla Hork
Vanita Shukla Hork started writing poems in 1981 at the young age of 13, following a deep personal trauma. She needed an outlet for her raw and powerful emotions, to find relief, release, and ultimately, redemption.

The topics she wrote about were very personal, private, and at times, dark - unrequited love, desire, pain, betrayal, and her budding sexuality. Many of her poems also had a spiritual undertone. The maturity and depth of her poems as a young girl belied her age.
After a hiatus of almost 4 decades she started writing again and launched her poetry blog in November 2021. Memories from another Lifetime is a series of her poems written as a young girl. Vanita’s mission is to make the voice of her younger self heard and she invites the -

Lynn Kurland
Lynn began her writing career at the tender age of five with a series of illustrated novellas entitled Clinton’s Troubles in which the compelling hero found himself in all sorts of . . . well, trouble. She was living in Hawaii at the time and the scope for her imagination (poisoned fish, tropical cliffs, large spiders) was great and poor Clinton bore the brunt of it. After returning to the mainland, her writing gave way to training in classical music and Clinton, who had been felled with arrows, eaten by fish and sent tumbling off cars, was put aside for operatic heroes in tights.

She had a key ring that read 'I’m running away to join the circus,' and her favorite moment of the day was when the local movie theater went dark, and the slogan 'escape to the movies' appeared on the screen. As an adult, her passions include all things melodramatic and beautiful — everything from classic movies, British romantic poetry, ancient tragedy and epic, to Italian opera. She is now a professor of Classics in a small midwestern town, where she lives with her Greek husband, her fraternal twins, and a Bernese mountain dog named Franco Corelli.

ANNE M. SMITH-NOCHASAK grew up in a farmhouse in rural Nova Scotia, Canada, a place of laughter, hard work, and the occasional unexplainable sound in the night. She is of diverse ancestry, with a background including priests, preachers, and privateers. She was a strawberry picker, waitress, nursing home worker, oven insulator, and many other things before turning to teaching. For many years she taught in high school, elementary, and resource programs, and her fondest memories are of teaching in northern and isolated Indigenous communities, where there was such joy and partnership on the learning journey. Her son traveled with her for many years, but as an adult returned to his northern birthplace to live and learn his father's ways.
