Debi DeSantis is an award winning book cover designer as well as author. She is originally from Bensalem, Pennsylvania just outside of Philadelphia, but now lives on the west coast of Florida with her husband of 22 years and teenage son. Some of her vices are travel, making crafts, spending time with family and doing anything creative.

After publishing numerous poems, Debi won a couple of awards and was asked to travel to Washing DC to accept her award. This gave her the green light for finishing her dusty manuscript which she decided to title....She Cries in the Dark. Using some of her own life experiences as well as lots of imagination, her book was born. Debi decided to self publish after many attempts at the large publishing houses. She was well aware of the low chance that a traditional publisher would welcome her with open arms. Debi went on the road and participated in book signings at the big book stores to try to get her name out there. Then with social media becoming such a huge outlet for indie authors, joined the band wagon and uses her website as well as her facebook page to let others know about her writing and cover designing.

Paul spent most of his childhood growing up on a dairy farm a few miles north of Cassville, MO. When the chores were done and playtime came, because his siblings were much older than himself, he found that his imagination was his greatest ally, allowing him to create cities and characters in his mind.  The first story he wrote was about one of the cats on the farm, making the cat into a human being, and when he got a typewriter for Christmas, more stories followed.  That was just beginning a lifelong career as a writer.

 

After he graduated from Cassville R-4 high school attended Crowder College and majored in business and automotive technology.  After leaving college he then went back to his first love writing, starting with several articles in various automotive magazines.   This lead to his first book Chevelle SS Restoration Guide that was published by Motorbooks International, nine other titles would follow with this publisher, before he would venture into the publishing field himself and start his own company- PAH Publishing.  With his own company he would author, under many different pen-names, more twenty other titles.

Sandy Wright moved to Arizona 17 years ago and fell in love with the southwest desert, including its Native American influences. After a trip to Sedona, the germ of a novel was born.

“I love to take ordinary characters and put them in extraordinary situations that change their view of the world.”

Her first novel, Song of the Ancients, introduces witchcraft and shamanism seen through the eyes of an ordinary woman.  Readers interested in witchcraft—or just a dark, eerie tale—will enjoy this paranormal suspense, written by a real-life Wiccan High Priestess.

Winner of the Pacific Northwest (fantasy), On the Far Side (paranormal) and Orange Rose (paranormal romance) contests, Song of the Ancients was published in May 2015, and is available in both print and ebook.
