Lorin Lee Cary

Quick and Quirky Stories and Photos (2024), Lorin Lee Cary’s latest book, links his interest in flash fiction with his love of photography.

M. von Lindenberg

Writer, producer, musician, cinematographer, director, painter...

There are a lot of things I have called myself over the years. Many of them still hold true, even though some of those boxes are sitting on shelves waiting to be cracked open again.

I began playing music around age 9 and always enjoyed writing when prompted with an idea. Even as a kid, short stories were something I could whip up and dump onto a page. I'd never thought myself a writer in any official capacity, not any more than I'd thought myself a "professional" musician. Alas, some 25 years after recording my first tracks, I have quite a few works in my discography.

In 2024, I endeavored to write a short story that turned into the multi-part series "No One's Time" after a conv

Alan R.M. Thrush

One-time soldier, father to a London architect and a Johannesburg businesswoman, marketing consultant and educator – Alan’s wide experience of life and human nature comes through clearly in his writing. In particular, his years as an officer (decorated) with the soldiers of a black paratroop battalion in the Zimbabwe-Rhodesian conflict placed him in a unique position to pen 'Of Land and Spirits', widely recognised as the defining novel of the Southern African Bush War.

Keen observation of the after-effects of battle on former combatants led to a follow-up novel, 'A Cross for Two Graves', set in present-day Europe and Africa.

His third novel, 'A Salient in Flanders', takes readers to a different era and the trenches of WW1. It has been acclaim
