How did you become a writer? At 19 writing was my chosen career but marriage at 21 whilst I was still at University meant I needed to find a job as soon as I graduated.

A little about you: I’m a naturopathic doctor. (That’s primary care but with an emphasis on lifestyle and natural remedies before drugs.)

A little about your writing: I write YA fantasy fiction because that’s what I like to read! I like
by Rayne Hall Certain book blogs state categorically that they won’t review self-published books. I understand their motivation: They get inundated with submissions and are trying to keep the numbers down. However, No Indies is as arbitrary as No Jews or No Women.

A little about you… I am an Oregonian. Not born here, just adopted. I have lived here the longest of any place in my life and that is saying a lot. I have moved 34 times and lived in every state this side of the Mississippi. I come from a huge family, two natural born brothers and 23 foster and adopted bothers. There were never less than 10 of us
A little about you Born and raised in Scotland where I live in a town called Hamilton with my wife, two daughters and two dogs. Any free time I have which is not filled with writing or promoting is spent with my family either walking the dogs or playing board games or the Wii. Also my wife and I love a good box set. We just finished House of Cards
A Little About You My name is Justine Edward and I live in the beautiful land of Oz (Australia). I have three terrific children and a husband who I adore. When I am not writing I read, bake and work as a teacher in a local primary school. A Little About Your Writing I believe that words are powerful and that books have the ability to shape people. I write
A Little About You………. I’m a thirty-two year old kid who watches anime and cartoons right alongside my Boardwalk Empire and The Newsroom (HBO series fan, can you tell?). I’ve always been a fan of science fiction and fantasy, growing up with Star Trek on my T.V. and a permanent D&D table set up in my room. I started writing in high school when a teacher encouraged me.
THE SEVENTH EQUINOX by Matthew Warner will debut on November 6th but the pre-order starts today and we’re celebrating with the reveal of the book trailer: “The best part of Warner’s easy-paced, almost pastoral tale is the friction between Bessie’s attraction to Robin, her longing to believe in magic, and her fear of trusting again—all of which run deep. This is a world-shattering crisis acted out in small scale, with
