Shawn McCarthy

I'm the author of eight books. Two non-fiction, (for John Wiley & Sons and the National Society of Professional Engineers) and six historical fiction/novels (for Dark Spark Press).

My historical novels are a six-book series, "The Puzzle Box Chronicles." Set in the late 1800s, it focuses on an important time of transition in America, when electric lighting is spreading across the country like a wave.
Its locations range from private luxury train cars to seedy back alleys. Even the sparks created by that time period's "War of the Currents" can't fully illuminate the darkest parts of that history.

Book 1 Can be found in Kindle Unlimited: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01...

D.L. Heather

D.L. Heather is is best known for her award-winning poetry book, Life Interrupted.

Writing came into her life in her teens by way of therapy and the exploration of healing through journaling. Her writing is motivated by her experiences with childhood trauma, love, loss, healing, heartbreak, and self-discovery. Her words take many on a roller coaster of downfalls and rediscovery.

A private person by nature, she prefers to let her work speak for itself, in the way poetry allows her to. She hopes to inspire others and reinforce the fact that you are not alone.

When she isn’t writing in her studio, she enjoys travelling, reading, movies and gardening. Connect with her online @dlheatherpoetry

She enjoys drinking iced tea and snacking on chocolate-covered frozen strawberries while writing. Her hobbies include baking gluten-free treats, working in her organic garden, and keeping up with the British Royal family (distant, distant, distant relatives, lolz).

Sharon Kay's idea of a perfect vacation is being secluded in a mountain cabin and sitt

Stephen Kronwith

Stephen Kronwith, M.D., Ph.D., lives in Floral Park, New York. A Brooklyn native, he’s had a unique and varied career path: first as a university professor of mathematics, then as a programmer for IBM, and ultimately as a pediatric ophthalmologist in both private and academic practice for over three decades.

He began writing his debut novel, Lover Boy, six months before retiring, and despite the challenges of working through the early chaos of the COVID crisis, he completed the manuscript within eight months. Lover Girl followed more quickly, aided by pandemic restrictions and newly found creative freedom.
