Peter Lewis Atkinson

I was born in the southeast of the United Kingdom. After leaving school, I pursued a career in electronics. I was fortunate, having gone to a local business on a day release program from school, I was then taken on as an apprentice. After my apprenticeship was complete, I left and started my own business, which I still do today. As for writing, I had never considered writing a novel until I had this strange science fiction dream. This dream stayed with me. I decided to put pen to paper and had a draft of my first novel completed in just a few months. My interests include, among other things, reading and science fiction movies.

Peter De Vries

Peter De Vries is responsible for contributing to the cultural vernacular such witticisms as "Nostalgia ain't what it used to be" and "Deep down, he's shallow." He was, according to Kingsley Amis, "the funniest serious writer to be found on either side of the Atlantic." “Quick with quips so droll and witty, so penetrating and precise that you almost don’t feel them piercing your pretensions, Peter De Vries was perhaps America’s best comic novelist not named Mark Twain. . .” (Sam McManis, Sacramento Bee).

Gae Polisner

I am a wannabe mermaid and the author of THE MEMORY OF THINGS, SEVEN CLUES TO HOME and several other novels for readers young, old or in between.

Please note that, although I originally tried to assign star-ratings to my book reviews (and, thus, you will see some of my favorite books with stars), I have stopped doing so. A 3-star review, for example, can mean such different things to readers and reviewers, some rarely give more, so 3 means pretty great, to others 3 is barely mediocre. Because of this, it feels arbitrary and capricious to assign them, and I'd rather merely provide (in some cases) my brief thoughts on the book (unless I really can't help myself in giving it 5-stars, which usually means I wish there were lots more to give. . .)
