  • Laura Daleo, Queen of Paranormal Romance Novels
    Born and raised in sunny San Diego, California, Laura Daleo's desire to tell stories was sparked by a  creative writing class she had in junior high school; however, Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles was her true inspiration to write a novel. Her book, Interview with the Vampire, published in 1976, has gone on to become one of the best-selling novels of all time.
    After reading the chronicles of Vampire Lestat, the driving passion to write her own vampire legend tingled in her fingertips. In 1996, Laura completed and copyrighted Immortal Kiss, but it sat patiently for 14 years. It was in 2010 while packing to move that she stumbled upon it tucked away in her closet. After dusting it off and sitting down to read, she fell in love with the story all over again; though, the 14-year-old novel needed modernizing. Consequently, she began the journey of reviving Immortal Kiss.
    In 2013, 3 years later, Immortal Kiss was off to the publishers and agents.  In 2014, it found a home with World Castle Publishing, and 1 year later, Immortal Kiss was hot off the press and available to the public. Laura is in the process of modernizing and reviving its sequel, Bound By Blood that she completed and copyrighted May 2001.
    Other completed works in the queue to modernize and revive are: The Vampire Within (2004), A City of Vampires (2007), and The Soul Collector (2010).  Future projects for creation are: The Ten, The Old Ones, and Vampire Amon.

  • Stephen Schwertley Tells about Enemy in the Heartland
    Stephen Schwertley is a first-time fiction writer. After suffering a stroke in 2013, Steve’s creativity blossomed as he began to write the book he's had in his head from his college days. With his quirky sense of humor permeating his life, he lives in Cave Creek, AZ with his wife, Joy. and 2 Yorkies.
    Enemy in the Heartland is a believable story that is riveting from beginning to end – the author is a master of tying multiple characters and events into a single theme all the while creatively leaving possibilities for future branches or sequels.”
    ~ Michael D. Bush, Lieutenant Colonel, United States Army
    It’s hard to believe that this book is the first effort of its author, Stephen Schwertley. It isn’t often that you read a first novel with the detail of plot and beautifully crafted character development found in Enemy in the Heartland.
    This story of terrorists could have been taken right from the headlines in a newspaper in New York, London, Paris, or Tel Aviv. Rarely will you read a story so contemporary in its writing that it’s as realistic as a lead news story.
    As the reader flies through the pages of this book, you might wonder if someone had successfully cloned Tom Clancy (in his early years). You can’t go from page to page without wondering how long you could possibly hold your breath.
    Using a very large cast of characters, a reader might think that so many players would cause confusion & a need to make the effort to follow the intricately constructed storyline. But there’s no need to worry, because he's done a really admirable job of detailing not only a clearly defined plot  ~ a partial review from Ken Mitnick
