T.S. Chalk

T.S. Chalk's first paid writing gig was creating user manuals for space-borne military hardware. He spent several years writing for the US Navy and Army, content with a steady paycheck and even receiving a Department of Defense security clearance (disappointingly, he has yet to encounter a classified document that is even a little bit interesting). He has written fiction as a hobby from childhood to present day, and in his late twenties, he began work on the manuscript that would eventually become 'Belly of Salt'. More years passed and he transitioned into the glittering debauchery of corporate middle management, while also finishing work on 'Belly of Salt' and finally seeing it published for the first time in 2024.

Today, he lives in Virgi

Ricardo Sanchez Medina

Introducing myself as an aerospace engineer by day and an avid lover of sports, literature (including books, comic books, and graphic novels), movies, TV series, traveling, and photography, I have always harbored a deep desire to create my own story. However, I have never been confident in my writing abilities with pen and paper. Fortunately, I have discovered a way to bring my creative ideas to life with the help of 3D software and Photoshop.

Drawing inspiration from my favorite literary works such as "The Lord of the Rings," "Ender's Game," various manga series, and video games such as "Dragon Quest" and "Final Fantasy," I am currently in the process of creating and self-publishing an original action-adventure comic series.

P.S. Meraux

P.S. Meraux writes books about paranormal chaos, sassy heroines, and creatures who are just a little unhinged (in the best way). She's an Indie and Amazon bestselling author—which sounds fancy until you realize it just means she drinks too much coffee and argues with fictional people for a living. Her stories mix sci-fi, mystery, romance, and a generous helping of “wait, did that just happen?”

P.S. has a thing for supernatural oddballs, morally gray weirdos, and badass women who save themselves (and occasionally punch vampires in the face). Her idea of worldbuilding is "let's break everything and see what grows back."

Originally from South Carolina, she now lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where her backyard is suspiciously full of fireflies and du

Hello!

I am a thinker driven by curiosity, seeking to understand the world. As a financial risk analyst, psychologist, and philosopher, I work in these fields and synthesize knowledge from psychology, philosophy, evolution, cosmology, finance, and ancient history in my books to offer readers a unique perspective.

I am not a fiction writer; my works focus on delivering maximum insight with minimal words, rather than unnecessary motivational phrases or fantasy worlds. Sometimes my books present familiar ideas from a new angle, and sometimes they pose unconventional questions.

Some of my works include:
