Previously working as a veterinary nurse, T.D. Harvey started off writing many thrillers and stories about animals only. Although battling Fibromyalgia, Tee now writes a wide-range of science fiction with a writing portfolio that spans more than 18 years. A native of Hampshire, England, T.D. Harvey reads a portion of Harvest on air in this episode. 

"Harvest follows a family on their farm, sometime in the future. Technology is not a part of their lives. They use horses to work the land. Autumn is the time to bring in the crops. The weather begins to change, the trees seem to glow in hues of orange, brown and red. Autumn brings the end of summer, the hints of the winter to come; and something else… This story is being published in Anything Goes, an unthemed short story anthology from Writers’ Anarchy."

Engaging his creative spirit at a young age growing up in Watts, Leamon E. Scott grew up reading and writing as an escape of everything terribly defeating in his neighborhood. A short story writer, A Seed For Cora Lee is Leamon Scott's first long-range book which packs supernatural elements set in the most prolific city known for such. 

"Layered with supportive subplots, the perpetual concept of good versus evil is convoluted by supernatural events that carry the reader on a psychological adventure filled with uncertain doubt and obstinate skepticism. Finally, the reader is left to evaluate his or her own ability to cope and manage the ideologies presented in this story; particularly, in the context of our ever fragile and evolving human existence."
