Catherine Shepherd
Bestselling German author Catherine Shepherd lives with her family in the small town of Zons on the river Rhine. She originally moved to Zons to be near her place of work at a major German bank in Düsseldorf. However, the medieval atmosphere of the town and the advent of self-publishing soon combined to stir the writing spirit that had lain dormant in her for many years.

A series of four crime novels set in Zons, each a mixture of an exciting thriller and a mysterious story from the Middle Ages. The first ("Der Puzzlemörder von Zons") as well as the third ("Kalter Zwilling") and fourth ("Auf den Flügeln der Angst") hit #1 on the German Kindle ch

USA TODAY Bestselling author Kathy Ivan can’t remember a time when books and reading weren’t a part of my daily life. I was blessed with a mother who instilled the love of reading in me at a young age. That progressed into a passion for the written word in all forms, which led to my writing. Every day I have new stories and new ideas roaming through my brain, the characters chomping at the bit for their turn to be front and center and have their story told. Today that love of storytelling translates into my desire to write and share my stories with others. I write in many genres, but I’m currently concentrating on romantic suspense and paranormal.

Claire Amarti
Hi there! I’m an author who writes suspense stories about ordinary women – women like the ones we all know and love – who find out that their ordinary lives may not be quite so ordinary after all! My hope is that you will root for them, fear for them, and find yourself holding your breath when the action starts to get a little hairy!

When I’m not writing, I can be found strolling the streets of Brooklyn, New York City, my adopted home, dodging pigeons and traffic. I moved here a little over eight years ago from Ireland, and never looked back. To me there’s nothing more wonderful than that feeling of finding – or making! – a new home, that mixture of excitement at finding a place in the world, and the comfort of being able to come back to it -

En 2010, cierta noche de otoño, tuve una revelación que se convirtió en obsesión. Plasmaría en una historia, que más tarde se convertiría en mi primera novela, mi filosofía de vida. Desde entonces he publicado cuatro novelas de suspense y un relato corto. En total, he vendido más de 4000 ejemplares, divididos a su vez entre los ebooks publicados en Amazon y los de formato físico. Actualmente me encuentro terminando mi quinta novela de suspense: 'Mensajes ocultos'.

Carolyn Weston
Carolyn Weston grew up in Hollywood during the Depression. She played hooky from school in movie theaters and libraries, honing the craft that would make her books so remarkable. During World War II, she worked in an aircraft plant and then did odd jobs around the country before writing Poor Poor Ophelia, the first Al Krug / Casey Kellog police procedural… which became the hit TV series "The Streets of San Francisco". Two more books in the series, every bit as good as Ed McBain’s 87th Precinct and just as memorable, followed.

Andrew Bridgeman
Somewhere near the crossroads of experience and imagination, if you search hard enough—and catch it in the right light, you may find a story worth telling. I was lucky to have found the thread of FORTUNATE SON in a small memory from my adolescence. The rest came from my somewhat dark imagination. The characters in the book were ladled from an old bucket brimming with memories of friends and strangers I've crashed into over the years.

I did a lot of living before I started writing. I sold stuff to people, sang jazz, and played rugby. Those experiences were helpful to my writing. But without the love of a strong woman and her insistence that I shine this dim light of mine, there would be no words...no book. Her name is Kathy and she's put up -

Ogni volta che parlo di me, inizio dicendo che sono romana. In effetti, uno dei motivi per cui ho cominciato a scrivere è stato proprio il desiderio di raccontare un mondo ormai perduto ma che sentivo ancora vibrare attorno a me, nei suoi vicoli, nelle torri, nelle piazzette incantate tuttora isolate dai rumori del traffico, e cui sembrano talvolta sovrapporsi le immagini di una città scomparsa. E non dimentichiamo i monumenti, che i miei antichi –e odierni- concittadini sono sempre stati così bravi a far… scendere dal loro piedistallo!
