James LePore

I write what I like to read: novels and short stories with compelling, fast moving plots, in exotic venues, populated by flawed characters who, finding themselves caught up in situations of extraordinary stress and danger, are forced to face their own demons in order to prevail. The world is full of extremes: terrorism and the courage to fight it, love and hate, lust and tenderness, corruption and redemption, honor and revenge. You will find them all in my work.

I also like to take pictures and to write very short fiction and an occasional poem. All three are combined in my book of flash fiction: Blood, Light and Time: Project 52/2015.

"Life is not a rehearsal. Ditch the script." -Robyn Roze

Robyn published the Keeper Series in 2013, a new-adult romantic suspense story with an independent heroine determined to set her own course. That same year, Robyn shifted gears and wrote a novel with a seasoned cast: Chain of Title. Readers were loud in their demand for a sequel to the romantic suspense story, and Shayna and Sean’s unconventional love story continued in 2020 with Unchained. In between those two stories, HellKat launched in 2015 with another older, feisty female lead: Kat James, a woman with a head for business and a family that could cost her everything. HellKat has ranked in the top 20 on Amazon in the Romance/Mystery category and in the top 100 in the Romance/Suspens

"If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write."

My favorite authors are the dead guys of literary fiction: Graham Greene, Richard Yates, Evelyn Waugh, Hemingway, Steinbeck, Fitzgerald, Sinclair Lewis. I have to put Cormac McCarthy and Charles Portis on the list.

These authors influence my writing. I have written seven novels. They are all free to read. Just ask for a copy.

Felicia Mires

Felicia Mires began her writing career years ago when she became bored with what she found available in the Christian Fiction market. Hoping to entertain herself and provide inspiration to other Christians, she wrote her first novel, Diamonds are for Eden.

Along the way, she has judged multiple writing contests, edited scores of books for other writers, and discovered a wealth of fascinating Christian fiction.

But, God did not create man, or woman, for books alone. Thankfully, there is relationship. Felicia has been married for over 25 years to Gene Mires, from whom she gains a plethora of
