J.W. Patterson

I grew up in Modesto, California. I was a teacher for most of my working life.

I love reading history, historical fiction, biographies, westerns and have been getting into humorous mysteries such as Janet Evanovich or Ann Charles write.

I live in the mountains of Northern California but am pretty much done with snow. My girlfriend and I go to Mexico for at least 3 months every winter.

I'm also a musician and love playing blues, bluegrass and Americana. I play golf and am still hanging onto a 9 handicap.

I love sports and played softball most of my life and played on the world champion 50-55 year old team in 2001.

Writing is something that I've found I really enjoy and published my first book on Kindle in August 2013. It's a children's book fo

Kelly Hashway

Kelly Hashway fully admits to being one of the most accident-prone people on the planet, but that didn’t stop her from jumping out of an airplane at ten thousand feet one Halloween. Maybe it was growing up reading R.L. Stine’s Fear Street books that instilled a love of all things scary and a desire to live in a world filled with supernatural creatures, but she spends her days writing speculative fiction for young adults, middle graders, and young children. Kelly is also USA Today bestselling romance author Ashelyn Drake. When she’s not writing, Kelly works as an editor and also as Mom, which she believes is a job title that deserves to be capitalized.

Jenny O'Brien

Hi and thanks for stopping by.

I took up writing about twenty years ago when I first came up with a plot for a book, and I haven't stopped since. When I’m not writing, I’m ferrying around 3 teenagers or working as a nurse. I’m also an all-year-round sea swimmer.
I write what I love to read, which is romance and thrillers.

My next release, out April 11th, is The Book of Lost Children, a World War 2 historical novel set in Guernsey, where I live. I am currently working on a second WW2 novel.

If you like my writing please get in touch - my social media links are below (I’m rarely on Goodreads so it’s best not to drop me a message here). I also have a newsletter, which you can sign up to via my website.

Jacob M. Ronsen

Jacob M. Ronsen is the author of the fast-paced and easy-to-read Me, Milli, series.

Being an author, he of course loves to write stories.

When he’s not writing, he likes to spend time with his family. Doing ordinary things like going for long walks in nature, juggling, boxing, putting too much chili in pretty much every family dinner, and swing dancing (even though he probably really shouldn’t).

Jacob lives in a house with black roof tiles with his wife, their two children, and two goldfish who are rapidly outgrowing their tank. And his love for coffee couldn’t even escape his profile picture.

Carmen Allen

Inspired by a multitude of mystery stories, the young teenage Carmen Allen had a dream of her own - to become a fiction writer for children. Her first attempt at writing, which by the way, included a riveting plot involving a missing banana and stolen diamond, was penned secretly in science class when she should have been listening to her teacher.

Fast forward many years and we see Carmen’s dream come true with the debut of her children’s book, ‘Molly’s Big Decision’. Carmen writes about children of character in a world of wonder.

Downtime for Carmen usually involves reading an action novel that champions a hero performing remarkably brave feats. Carmen also loves to bake, design or chat with a friend over a good cup of coffee. She lives on

B.C. Tweedt

B.C. wrote the Greyson Gray Series to give today's children a real-to-life hero who is worthy of admiration - one who searches for truth, fights for justice, and dares to do good no matter the costs. Along with Greyson, B.C. added lovable characters with signature humor and a deep plot that grows with its characters both emotionally and intellectually. He believes modern readers are longing for powerful new stories that are both clean and exciting without any dumbing down.

He has a background in film, and many readers notice how his novels read like an action movie (and would make an amazing TV mini-series someday.) Just like a movie director, he prefers to stay behind the scenes; though he has greatly appreciated how many readers have fell
