  • R. Milton Quibner, Heterosexual Relationship Specialist
    According to Mr. R. Milton Quibner, "A die-hard, life-long San Francisco Giants fan, I am a Senior Fellow at the Pataphysical Institute of Northern California, and am one of the world’s leading Heterosexual Relationship Specialists, so, guys, if you want to get along with women, you need to talk to me!
    I have developed a unique and hard-hitting self-help program for men based on Pre-Classical values and ethics. I draw upon the fundamental works of Western Antiquity, focusing on the ontological, axiological and epistemological discoveries found in the early texts as a means of shaping the male role in the modern heterosexual relationship, though I do employ, where applicable, later source material.
    Aware of the impossibility of asking a modern man to emulate the rigorous virtues and behavior of a long-dead society, yet convinced the overwhelming majority of men are desperate for major personal over-haul,  I have designed a program geared to the more modest scope and capabilities of today’s heterosexual man.
    I am happily married, a fervent and devoted Good Partner."

  • Diane Ashley, the Grief Helper
    "My name is Diane Ashley and my son drowned 8 years ago. From that experience I wrote the book How to Help Someone Who is Grieving."
    This book was written to help people understand how to support family and friends, who have suffered a trauma.  It also contains information to help grievers understand what they are going through.  
    Why the book is important:
    Because the contents are supported by real-life
    of stories individuals hurt by others’ actions/words.
     Because a brief overview of serious emotional difficulties caused by grief, are included.
     Because it is written by someone who has both a counseling degree, and personal experience in this arena.
     Reviewer’s shared: “I was able to relate to this book both as the person suffering the grief and having to help people I care about with their grief.
    It is right on the mark!!!!”
    “The stories of other people’s behavior are shocking. This book will fill a gap in educating people about their own actions and about how to treat those in grief.”

  • Dellani Oakes, Writer, Teacher, Consultant, Mother
    When she moved to Florida, Dellani Oakes had no idea the history was so rich and fascinating. Visiting St. Augustine for the first time, she felt the allure of the country's oldest city. She decided then to write a story based there. It wasn't until nearly 12 years later that 'Indian Summer' took its final form. Dellani is a happily married mother of 4, a substitute teacher, and a former English teacher. When she is not one of the above, she is an avid writer, spending every possible moment immersed in her other worlds. She has also written a series of futuristic romance novels, contemporary romances and short stories. 
    In an interview with self-publishing site, Smashwords, Dellani, shared, "I've been telling stories since childhood. I started writing short stories in high school and plays in college. I first attempted novel writing in 1988, but I never finished it. Maybe one day. I took up writing as a serious vocation in 2002, when my youngest started kindergarten."
    Dellani added, "I had a nomadic childhood. My father was an English professor and  we moved a lot. I lived in Tennessee, Ohio, Massachusetts, Texas, Nebraska and  Mississippi before coming to Florida. It gave me a wonderful variety of settings and  people to choose from in my writing. Under the Western Sky is set in Nebraska in 1976. 'The Ninja Tattoo' takes place in present-day Florida. 'Indian Summer' is set in Florida's past in 1739."

  • Desmond and the Cuspian Series
    About Desmond C. Hall: "It's not what we eat but what we digest that makes us strong; not what we gain but what we save that makes us rich; not what we read but what we remember that makes us learned; and not what we profess but what we practice that gives us integrity.”
    Alpha: (noun) The First, The Beginning; the beginning of anything. (adj) Being the highest ranked or most dominant individual of one's sex; first in order of importance
    If hard work were such a wonderful thing, surely the rich would have kept it all to themselves...But Every day I get up and look through the Forbes list of the richest people in America. If I'm not there, I go to work"
    A review: "DC Hall is obsessed with argyle socks, the smell of books and believes he is the smartest person in the room. Granted he’s usually alone when he thinks this but it still feels good. When his nose isn’t stuck in a book, DC is usually writing or trying to teach his dog, Brooklyn, how to wash dishes (success remains elusive.)"

  • Mahalia Levey, A Prolific Writer
    Being smart and sassy with a great sense of humor comes easily for Mahalia Levey. An avid reader of books, she found herself enchanted and disappearing completely into the worlds that authors created. One day she vowed to herself that she'd be one of them. Then family life came, and college right after. 
    Swayed from her childhood course of action, it took many years for her to get back to that place she held dear as a child. Now she is running full steam ahead to keep up with the many ideas flowing freely. She plans on taking her work to higher levels and expanding her genres. Her main focus is giving her readers variety. Her works in progress include paranormal, fantasy, and mainstream romance. Taking characters and watching them grow past what she’s imagined is her true passion. 
    In her personal life, she vowed never to own a minivan and has so far succeeded in not being the soccer mom. The proud mother of one teen and two pre-teens is not easily flustered. Between sports and art classes for the eldest, she takes time out during the day for herself. Her one love, best friend of twelve years has finally caught her. They bought their first house together and are compromising over interior decorations.

There’s nothing that compares to the feeling of falling in love with the characters in your books…There’s nothing that compares to the feeling of falling in love with the characters in my books…"
