Martin Jay Weiss author of "The Second Son" and the upcoming novel "Flamingo Coast", is an award-winning filmmaker who has worked extensively throughout North and South America, Eastern and Western Europe, and Southeast Asia--often sneaking away to scuba dive in remote locations. His screen adaption for "The Alchemist Agenda" won Amazon Studios' best screenplay honor and the movie is on their active development slate where they have a deal with Warner Brothers. Weiss lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two children.

Over the course of his life, William Sirls has experienced both great highs and tremendous lows―some born of chance, some born of choice. Once a senior vice president at a major investment firm, he was incarcerated in 2007 for wire fraud and money laundering, where he learned a great deal more than he ever bargained for. Life lessons involving faith, grace, patience, and forgiveness are evident in his writing. He is the father of two and makes his home in southern California. His third novel, "The Crown Lord" will be released on November 13 2018.
