Paul Barrell

Writer
Entrepreneur
and former Sportsmen

Paul started writing in 2007. The trigger was a visit, to a remote farmhouse while on a family holiday in the S.W. France . One of the rooms had been converted into a library that contained a diverse selection of both French and English literature and over the next two weeks inspiration took hold and he began to write. His early literary efforts were sent to a copy writer at Channel 4 who rashly said his work although rough and ready, showed promise. His comments spurred Paul on. Since then he has written three contemporary stand alone novels, a Ghost story titled 18, and, he has just started work on a much darker novel, 'The Bleed ' set in the drug world of South London.He writes about peo

Michele Levy

Born a Yankee in Providence, Rhode Island, after seven years in Boston, I moved with my family to Wisconsin and Northern Virginia. Then I continued the southern trend with graduate studies in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and followed my Brooklyn-born husband even farther south, to New Orleans. Twenty-six years later, we traded the Superdome (seven minutes away from our house by car) for the North Carolina woods. This wandering stripped away my Boston accent, leaving a tendency to enunciate clearly that made New Orleanians think I was from England.

From the age of four I have played classical piano and read voraciously. But an exposure to Balkan dance in high school kindled what became a life-long passion. Still, my love for D. H. Lawrence an

Brian Thompson

Brian Thompson was born and raised in Minnesota. His first professional writing foray was as a freelancer for Cracked.com. One of his articles was chosen to be published in Cracked.com’s first physical collection You Might be a Zombie and Other Bad News which made the NYT Non-Fiction bestseller list. Being surrounded by other talented writers, he saw many of them participate in National Novel Writing Month. One November he decided to try too and failed miserably, but it did kick off the start of his first novel, The Observer. Many of the items researched while writing for Cracked.com were inspirations for parts of the novel.

Sean O'Neil

Who hasn't had dreams about becoming a writer? The image of great writers and the vision of their success, and more so, their freedom in life, appeals to many people, and it certainly appealed to me.

Writing wasn't where I thought I would be at this point in life. I'm an MBA Grad and former CEO, but I left the executive world behind to ultimately opt for a life of adventure and writing, and I am so glad I did.

I've spent the last twenty years journeying the world and finding human stories that spark my own stories. I look beyond the standard sites and tourist traps; I look for the human side that is hidden behind them and the stories that others simply don't find. I was gifted with the ability to connect with people, no matter their backgroun
