T.A. Williams

Firstly, my name isn't T A. It's Trevor. I write under the androgynous name T A Williams because 65% of books are read by women. In my first book, one of the (female) characters suggests the imbalance is due to the fact that men spend too much time getting drunk and watching football. I couldn't possibly comment. Ask my wife...
I've written all sorts: thrillers, historical novels, short stories and now I'm enjoying myself hugely Cozy Mysteries. I lived and worked in Italy for a number of years, married an Italian, and fell in love with the country. I set almost all my books in Italy and I hope that my love from the country shines through my work.
I‘ve lived all over Europe, but now I live in a little village in sleepy Devon, tucked away in

Cap Daniels

Creator of The Chase Fulton Novels series and The Avenging Angel - Seven Deadly Sins Series, Cap Daniels is a former sailing charter captain, scuba and sailing instructor, pilot, Air Force veteran, and civil servant of the U.S. Department of Defense. Raised far from the ocean in rural East Tennessee, his early infatuation with salt water was sparked by the fascinating, and sometimes true, sea stories told by his father, a retired Navy chief petty officer. Those stories of adventure on the high seas sent Cap in search of adventure of his own, which eventually landed him on Florida’s Gulf Coast where he and his wife Melissa spend as much time as possible on, in, and under the waters of the Emerald Coast.

John Gilstrap

A little bit about my background... I've always been a closet-writer. As a kid, I lived for the opportunity to write short stories. I was the editor of my high school newspaper for a while (the Valor Dictus, Robinson High School, class of 1975), until I quit ("You can't fire me! I quit!") over a lofty First Amendment issue that seemed very important at the time. My goal, in fact, was to become a journalist in the vein of Woodward or Bernstein. Okay, I confess, I wanted to be Woodward; Robert Redford played him in the movie, and chicks really dug Robert Redford.

I graduated from the College of William and Mary in 1979, and armed with a degree in American history, I couldn't find a job. I ended up settling for a position with a little-noticed

R.T. Lund

R. T. Lund grew up in Duluth, Minnesota, the gateway to the North Shore of Lake Superior. When he was twelve, three teenage brothers from his neighborhood were swept into the lake from a concrete pier during a raging Spring gale. None of them was ever recovered. There began his fascination with the awesome, unforgiving lake.

Lund has worked as a lawyer and corporate CEO, but at heart he is a storyteller, a Minnesota mystery writer, and the big lake has a role in each of his stories. Minnesota may be the "Land of 10,000 Lakes," but the coldest, deepest, darkest, most foreboding lake is home to more bodies, shipwrecks and secrets than all the rest combined. With a background in literature and law, Lund combines the backdrop of his beloved Minn

I am a native Michigander and a lifelong fishing enthusiast chasing everything from bluegills and bass to snappers and snook. At 14 years old, I moved to Boca Raton – a place nobody had heard of yet – and fell in love with Old Florida. Watching "progress" steal away this magical land also spawned an interest in conservation.
While working my way through the academic thicket with degrees from Miami (FL), Central Florida, and University of Michigan, I found time for freelance writing. In over 30 years, I have written scores of articles in magazines, including Field & Stream, Florida Game & Fish, The Fisherman, Michigan Out of Doors, Midwest Fly Fishing, and several pieces for academic journals.
