About Ty Carlson:

Ty Carlson is a sci-fi writer who delights in the unseen strangeness and wonder of “what if.” Growing up in the Ozarks of Arkansas gave him and his three siblings plenty of room to play knights and dragons or jungle explorers, igniting his imagination early on. Ty started writing at a very young age and his passion has only grown over time. He loved to read so much that he once was grounded from reading, a fact that his brothers tease him about to this day. He hopes readers discover new ways to see the world through the perspectives offered in the stories he tells.

Some of Ty’s favorite reads include the classics from Fitzgerald to Tolkien to Card and has fallen in love with a multitude of worlds. When he’s not writing, he’s playing with his kids or enjoying some time in a video game. On the rare occasion, when his wife and him can get a few minutes to themselves, they enjoy listening to the sounds of the world waking up while enjoying a cup of coffee – with cream of course. His Debut book is “The Bench” which marks his first steps as a Sci-Fi author like so many he’s admired (and been grounded from!)!

ABOUT DAEMON MANX

Daemon Manx is a recovering addict who spent nearly a decade in the prison system where he focused on recovery and learned to write horror. Making the most of his second chance at life, Daemon recently celebrated eleven and a half years clean and sober and is celebrating that milestone with the release of his upcoming series The Ojanox. He is a Splatterpunk Award nominee, received the H.A.G. award for his story The Dead Girl in 2021, and was a bonus round winner on the gameshow Wheel of Fortune in 1999. But all that pales in comparison to what Daemon is infamously known for, sideswiping Ronald Reagan’s limousine. Fortunately … or unfortunately, no presidents were harmed in the accident.

About K.T. Bond:

 

Eight years ago, Emma-award-winning author K.T. Bond began her second career as a ghostwriter. This Halloween baby likes to think the seed for romance writing was planted in her soul way back when she was a preteen reading Janet Daley, Betty Neels, and Georgette Heyer. With a greatly enlarged reading list including such diverse authors as Olivia Gaines, Julia Quinn, and JR Ward, K.T. has been publishing her own stories since 2017.

K.T. wrote almost forty sweet and steamy contemporary romances for her clients. Now, continuing in that trend, her own stories feature men and women from many walks of life, different races and cultural heritages, ranging in age from mid-twenties to over fifty, all embracing a second chance for love and passion.

K.T. is a retired English educator, an avid reader, Nana to a sweet little Japanese-Jamaican girl, the chief cook and dog walker in her family, and an unashamed binge watcher of Midsomer Murders. A lifetime learner and member of the renewed Romance Writers of America, she’s a true believer in Ben Franklin’s axiom, “Those who love deeply never grow old.”

Rob interviews author, Deborah Lambert, about her high fantasy book series, "Son of No Man".

About Deborah Lambert:

At a young age, Deborah’s rampant imagination kept her up, lending great detail to all the terrible things lurking in the night. In desperation one night, her mother suggested she invent her own stories to distract her brain. She has been doing that since, channelling her ideas into mainly sword and sorcery-style fantasy novels and shorts.

In her other life, Deborah is a veterinarian. She lives in Sooke, BC, Canada, with her husband of 10+ years, their son, and three demanding felines.
