  • Mike Arsuaga, Ex-Navyman, Now Author and Publisher with Wife
    Born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, Mike Arsuaga completed careers in the US Navy Submarine Force and the Transportation Security Administration. Although his careers have taken him all over the world, he now lives in Orlando, Florida with wife and Editor-in-Chief, Cynthia; daughter ,Jennifer; granddaughter, Larrna, and partner-in-crime, Thumper, a Yorkshire terrier.
    Mike’s extensive travels took him throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, the Caribbean, and the Middle East which provide accurate and vivid settings for all his stories. Although Mars figures prominently in at least one installment of TheProgeny of Evolution series, he hasn’t been there yet. The trip is prominent on his “bucket” list.
    The Progeny of Evolution series, seven books soon to be published by I Heart Book Publishing, tell of the deep love between two special beings as they shepherd lycans and vampires, The Others, in their ascent from Creation’s vilest expression toward becoming the noblest. A pilot script for a TV series based on the books is under consideration by Amazon studios. A paranormal romantic thriller short story, from Boroughs Publishing Group, titled Of Jasmine and Pomegranate has been well received.
    Mike and Cynthia have co-written two books, one published by Secret Cravings Publishing. Love and Death in the Big Easy and the other Top Dog is now published in the PG-13 version with I Heart Book Publishing. The series chronicles the story of a special shape shifter. Instead of transforming into a large fierce animal, he becomes an 8-pound Yorkshire terrier. While not much good in a scrape, he can go places the big guys can’t and he’s irresistible to women.

  • John Turner Takes You on a Journey
    From a small town 45 miles southwest of Cleveland, Ohio, John Turner grew up in a large family.  His mother, whom he loved so dearly, died in 2003.
    His book, Take This Journey With Me, is the first of many of the many fiction and nonfiction he plans to write.  This, his first book, is one with 100 hundred chapters in what is essentially 100 poems. As a book of poetry it explores situations and emotions that we all can relate to as fellow citizens on this planet we call Earth.
    Growing up with little means, and in a small town, offered him the opportunity to analyze the way life was and the way it is. His perspective, although expressed poetically in this book, is not so unique and not just his perspective alone. He understands that a universal audience will be able to relate to the words written as well as appreciate the sentiment in which they were written.
    John Turner spent much of his early childhood with his brothers; playing all kinds of sports. But the one that they all enjoyed playing the most was basketball which he also played in youth baseball leagues, as a youth. But some of his most fond memories were sitting around with his brothers, making up stories to tell to the others, and then offering expressions as to who told the most compelling one at the time.
