Janelle Ashley James
From the moment Janelle took her plastic elephant book into the bathtub as a baby, she has loved reading. She still loves reading in the tub, but the books are rarely about elephants.
Besides reading and writing, her favorite thing is to spend time with her husband Nathan, daughters Chloe and Annie and grandchildren Wyatt and Ruby, and her crazy Goldendoodle.
Janelle spent decades in ministry teaching the Bible. Her passion is to combine her love of the Bible with historical research and compelling characters to create stories that not only entertain, but also educate, and encourage.

Peter C. Bradbury
I write mainly dark, disturbing, sometimes racy thrillers. My other novels are murder tales. Someone told me that "I write with a scalpel rather than a pen The pacing. The perversion. The no-BS delivery. It’s rare to find an author willing to lean fully into the darkness of power, seduction, and consequence the way you do, without softening the edges."

Writing poetry and making up stories since she was a child, Ann only began to write for publication when her children left home. Her ambition was to write science fiction, but, fascinated by Swansea Castle and distracted by a major stroke she researched local history, an interest that culminated in the publication of her first book Alina, The White Lady of Oystermouth at Easter 2012. Early retirement gave her more time to concentrate on her writing.
The sales of over 300 copies of Alina in local shops and museums, and at speaking engagements, led to a second local history book, Broken Reed: The Lords of Gower and King John in September 2013, and then to The Magna Carta Story at Easter 2015. T -

Bless Me Father is my first ever novel although I have had several short stories in circulation for a few years. Last year I was named one of the 25 most promising Independent Authors by Independent Authors Magazine.
I am feeling my way through the process of this new self-publishing world and hoping to meet and make new friends. Although I am affable and social I don't have many true friends, so this could open doors into a whole life endeavor for me.
