Mike P.

Born and raised in Ukraine. I write rarely, but when I do, it consumes me entirely—I can’t focus on anything else until the manuscript is finished. English is my third language, which adds to the challenge, but that only makes it more rewarding when something good comes out of it.

My writing journey began after I enrolled in the Marine Academy—a decision that ended in spectacular failure. The experience was so absurd and funny that I had no choice but to write about it. And so, my first novel, "Marinizm", was born—inspired by my own fiasco and my admiration for Charles Bukowski.

My latest works include "ICE: A Survival Novella", a tribute to my granddad, and "The Happy World of Unhappy People", a humorous book meant to slow down the rushing c

I was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, I still live there as well as in Dublin, Ireland. I've been a soldier, freelance journalist, tended bar, sold designer cakes, owned a painting and decorating company along with a number of other schemes and scams. If that doesn't offend you I also play bagpipes with the Brian Boru Irish Pipe Band. All my books stand alone, read them in whatever order you wish. They are filled with the sort of oddballs we are all curious about, but wisely, prefer to keep at a distance. None of my characters will be saving the world from terrorism, international banking conspiracies or coups to take over the government. Rather, they inhabit a world just below the surface of polite society, characters with one foot on either

Julie Apple

Julie Apple is both the pen name of Catherine McKenzie and the protagonist of her new novel, Fractured.

How did that happen?

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away (okay it was Canada, Montreal specifically) (also, 2007), Catherine decided to write a novel she’d been thinking about since she attended McGill Law School in the 1990s. Sitting in her Criminal Law class, she wondered if a lawyer would have an advantage in planning a perfect murder. Could she use her knowledge of the law to do it? What if a group of friends tried it out, just for fun? A game.

But then, years later, what if that murder actually happened?

Catherine wrote that book. Though she was happy with it, she put it in a drawer because her writing career took a different turn

I currently live in Austin, Texas with my wife Margaret, and our dog, Bailey. We moved here in 2010 from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
I've always loved to read books, even when I was in grade school. I enjoyed the way a good novel could sweep you away from your reality and drop you in someone else's. I never had enough time to spend writing until an unfortunate illness forced me into an early retirement, but you know how the old saying goes, when fate hands you a lemon...

I BELIEVE in the power of story. As a developmental editor and former director of the Stanford Publishing Courses, I’ve spent a lifetime digging out, poring over, and working with stories—the best of which have profoundly touched me and changed my worldview. Such stories—powerful, evocative and absorbing—have been instrumental in motivating me to finish my own novel Pescadero.

Pescadero is a work of fiction. The characters and story arc are imagined, but the descriptions of what today’s migrants experience as they attempt to cross America’s southern border are largely true.

The details in this novel have been shared with me personally during my experiences with undocumented migrants and those who support them at the border in Juarez, Nogales
