For those of you who’d like to know a little more about me, I’m flattered. Truly. A child of the eighties, I grew up on a steady diet of Ghost Busters, Thunder Cats and Ninja Turtles. For any who are wondering, the best turtle is Michelangelo (just my opinion, even if it happens to be correct.)

When I was twelve my mother gave me a copy of Robert Jordan’s “Eye of the World”, introducing me to the world of epic fantasy. I was hooked. Since then, I’ve also read Anne McCaffrey, Tad Williams, Brandon Sanderson, Jim Butcher, Steven Erikson, Frank Herbert, David Farland, and more. There’s nothing quite so sublime as spending a quiet evening sojourning in a world other than your own, and maybe learning something important about yourself along the w

Gloria Squitiro

Gloria Squitiro has a bachelor's degree in psychology. She is published in Harper’s Magazine and is the author of the bestselling May Cause Drowsiness and Blurred Vision: The Side Effects of Bravery, the first in the three-book C’mon Funk memoir series. She has been married to Mark Funkhouser for forty-plus long-ass years. It seems Gloria’s mission in life is to make every other man on Earth grateful he’s not married to her.

Squitiro’s personality type has changed! She is now an ENFJ: extroverted (not really!), iNtuitive (kind of stupid spelling), feeling and judging. These types are idealistic and thoughtful and strive to have a positive impact on the world. They can’t help but do the right thing, even when the doing is difficult.

David Gittlin

Only one thing stood between me and my dream of becoming a creative writer: I couldn’t do two things at once.

Upon retiring from my career in marketing communications, I decided to devote my full attention to writing fiction, thereby solving my multi-tasking challenge.

I began my creative writing journey by enrolling in the online Writers’ Program offered by UCLA. In a series of courses taught by professional writers, I learned how to craft memorable characters, create colorful worlds, and outline suspenseful plots enriched with drama and conflict.

Taking one baby step at a time, I managed to bridge the gulf between writing promotional copy in short bursts to rendering full scale novels. As an interim step, I wrote three screenplays.
