Jo Cooling
The life of Jo Cooling is like living in a theme park: one minute, it's like riding a roller coaster, baking cupcakes, cookies, and slices. With a kitchen covered with chocolate, flour, and cooking utensils. Also trying to develop new tastes and ideas for her growing baking business.
Sometimes, she feels like she travels through life in a Dodge 'em car. All the while, she works to complete two novels while caring for two Cavoodles, who believe their mother was placed on this earth purely to play with them 24 hours a day.
But no matter how out of control her life can be at times, eventually, she ends up sailing around on the Walt Disney teacup ride on top of the world. However, when she relaxes, the Cavoodles see this as an opportunity to snug

Terry Lee Caruthers
Buy books on Amazon
Terry Lee Caruthers enjoys writing, storytelling, and cats with a little cross-stitching on the side. Her preference is to spend her days curled up in the porch swing with a large glass of ice water and a good book. And yes! Unbelievably, she actually has a porch swing in her living room!
Terry credits her mother and maternal grandmother for nurturing her love of books. As a lifetime reader, she is drawn to coming-of-age novels and Southern literary fiction, but can't pass up a good mystery. Her favorite book of all time is Harper Lee's "To Kill A Mockingbird," which she was assigned to read in ninth grade--and has re-read almost every year since.

Michael Wendroff
I've always wanted to write a novel and am both lucky and happy to announce my dream has come true It was actually the pandemic that spurred this on--there was so much I couldn't do then, so took a shot at it. And now, "What Goes Around" is available for sale!

Prior to that it had been a journey-though books have always been in my background. My mother was an editor at Dell Publishing (she'd greeted me at birth with "Nice to see you again"), and I worked in a literary agency--Henry Morrison Inc. while going to college. At the agency I started by delivering manuscripts to publishers in New York City (plenty of subway rides and runs across town), and eventually handled foreign rights, selling on behalf of authors such as Robert Ludlum.
