I have written all of my life. As an only child for the first fifteen years of my life, I learned story telling could keep me and my friends entertained. All through my nursing career stories continued to pop in my head.  I have dozens of story ideas filed away for later use.  But it was only near the end of my nursing career and retirement was on the horizon that I picked up my writing again and began to devote my time and energy onto this new adventure.  And an adventure it has been.

Diane Moat is an author, nurse, attorney and dog rescuer. Born a Yankee, she travelled to Nashville as a tourist, and loved it so much she didn’t leave. She has now been “down south” for long enough that she uses “y’all” and “you guys” interchangeably. For her 50th birthday, she decided to venture into writing. What started as a small project produced her first dramatic novel, “Dog Gone”. The story combines her love of animals with her fantasy of being able to stop animal abusers. After “Dog Gone”, came a young adult novel, “Guardian of the Way”. Thoroughly bitten by the writing bug, Diane next began her middle grade series: “The Supernatural Pet Sitter”. This award winning children’s series follows the adventures of a young gnome as she pet-sits magical animals. A family series for all ages, the third installment in the series is scheduled for release in February.

James Swain is the nationally bestselling author of seventeen mystery novels. His books have been named Publishers Weekly and Kirkus Reviews Best Mystery Books of the Year, and he has received three Barry Award nominations and a Florida Book Award for fiction. In 2006, he was awarded France’s prestigious Prix Calibre .38 for Best American Crime Writing. Born in Huntington, New York, he graduated from New York University and worked as a magazine editor and screenwriter before moving ?to Florida to run a successful advertising firm. When he isn’t writing, he enjoys researching casino scams and cons, ?a subject on which he’s considered an expert.

LK Shaw is a physical therapist assistant by day and writer/social media addict by night. She resides in South Carolina with her high maintenance beagle mix dog, Miss P, who should probably just have her own Instagram account. An avid reader since childhood, she became hooked on historical romance novels in high school. It wasn’t until within the last seven or eight years she tried her hand at contemporary romances. While historical romance remains one of her favorite go-to genres, romantic suspense, especially with a little kink thrown in, have become a first pick from her TBR list.

 

She initially began writing in November 2015 as part of National Novel Writing Month, when, suddenly, the story became something more than just a “sure, I’ll try to put some words together”. The vision for the story snowballed and, before she knew it, she began taking steps toward publishing. Each book in her first series feature Romantic Suspense and BDSM combined.

 

LK loves to interact with readers. You can follow her on any of her social media:

Timothy W. Carroll began writing prose and poetry during his early teenage years. Timothy's writings began as something very private and very personal. It was a form ofjournaling for him.

From a very early age Timothy secretly began to suffer from serious bouts of anxiety and depression; emotions that he simply did not understand. He discovered early on that reading and writing were a healthy escape from these up and down, unexplained emotions.

As Timothy reached his mid-teens, his secret battle with anxiety and depression only deepened. Like so many people, he began masking those negative feelings with getting high, drunk and engaging in other negative behaviors.

Thus, the nomadic journey that is NOMAD began.

Today, Timothy lives in Sunny Florida with his wife, Tina. They have six adult children and enjoy being grandparents to several grandchildren.

Timothy continues to seek out his life passion: To teach others how to avoid the unhealthy nomad life. And to teach those who have found themselves trapped in that solitary place, how to find new hope and meaning for their lives, through Christ.
