Alonzo Fields
ALONZO FIELDS
White House Chief Butler
1931-53
Alonzo Fields was born in Lyles Station, Indiana, a small, all-black community about 120 miles east of St. Louis, Missouri. His father owned the local general store, directed a brass band (all black) that played for local events, and eventually worked in Washington, D. C. as a janitor for the Post Office Department. Alonzo's mother contributed to the family income by running a boarding house for railroad workers. From his dad, Alonzo learned much about what would become a life-long passion -- music. Like his father, Alonzo played in a brass band and taught others to play brass instruments. Alonzo had a beautiful singing voice that was praised by his teac -
J.D. Peterson
Not much is known about the strange & mysterious J.D. Peterson. Somewhat unreliable sources tell us that J.D. Peterson was born sometime between 1945 and 1971, or maybe earlier or later. His real name may be Jefferson Davis Pernoste, and he’s probably a doctor, but doctor of what, nobody knows.

J.D. Peterson’s xenohistorian peers (who always prefer to remain anonymous), think that his real name may be J.P. Homer [although he’d have to be ~16,000 years old] or he may be an immigrant from planet Orn. More critical colleagues suggest that J.D. Peterson is a dar moft, which may explain why nobody has ever seen or met the guy. The big nose & green skin would probably give him away. Others think he’s just some nutty writer.

Eoin Dempsey
Eoin Dempsey was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1977. He grew up in the beautiful Dublin suburb of Dalkey, where he and his friends would jump into the icy waters of the Irish Sea (during summertime) to prove their manliness. Eoin had a fantastic time attending Blackrock College, where he played rugby (poorly) and did his best to coast his way through. Eoin’s first ambition was to play rugby for Ireland. Due to a lack of talent, he soon abandoned that goal for the more reasoned path of the rock star. He played in bands through his teens and well into his twenties before harsh reality came calling, and his dreams of being the next Keith Moon faded.

Linda Ballou
A love triangle of extremes has proven to be a solid base for my writing. From my roots in Alaska I receive strength, solitude, centeredness and respect for the awful power of nature. In Hawaii I found nurturing, a spiritual awakening, sensuality, peace and my heroine for my historical fiction, Wai-nani-A Voice from Old Hawaii. In proud California I obtained a degree in English Literature and a doctorate in urban savvy. I continue to enjoy opportunities here for intellectual stimulation, exciting contacts and friends. It makes a great base for exploits that I share in my travel collection Lost Angel Walkabout-One Traveler's Tales.

Richard Sanders
If I have to describe myself, I’d say I’m a bumbling, half-assed, streetwise mystic looking for meaning in this crazy world. I can also say I worked for 25 years as an Executive Editor at Entertainment Weekly and People magazine. Other highlights on my CV: As a recovering addict and alcoholic, I’ve spent time in jail, rehab and a psych ward, and I’ve managed to stay sane and alive since then. I’ve tried to capture the struggle for spiritual survival, every day, every hour, every moment, in my books.

Freddie Owens
I was born in Kentucky but grew up around Detroit. I would sometimes spend a week or two, once I spent six weeks, in Kentucky, staying with cousins or with my grandparents. And yes, it was an entirely different world for me, providing some of the best and worst times of my growing up years. I had a great time on a dairy farm with several of my cousins, milking cows, hoeing tobacco, running over the hills and hollers and up and down a creek that surrounded the big farm. I remember too, periods of abject boredom, sitting around my grandparent's place with nothing to do but wander about the red clay yard or kill flies on my grandmother's screened in back porch.
