Taylor Dawn began writing as an item to check off her bucket list. She resides in the southernmost part of Illinois, right on the mighty Mississippi river. She enjoys the quiet country life with her husband, son and the many farm animals that make up the rest of the family. Deciding that farm life was just a little too mundane, Taylor began writing romance and fantasy to liven things up, so far so good. Before starting her writing career, Taylor entered the field of cosmetology. When she isn't writing, she can usually be found sitting around a table making people laugh. She has always wanted to be a standup comic. She loves pulling practical jokes, dresses up in a costume every Halloween and believes that dancing is the key to a happy life (even if you aren't a good dancer). She believes that life shouldn't be taken too seriously, we will never get out alive anyway. More than anything, she is a kid at heart, she doesn't believe in bedtimes, eating everything on her plate, or having ice cream only for dessert. Her favorite quote is by Dr. Seuss..."Why fit in, when you were born to stand out."

B.R. Stateham will be sixty-nine years old in May. Supposedly, people creeping up to that age are thinking about retiring. But for B.R. it's not going to happen. As a nine year old kid he wrote his first novel on lined paper,using lots and lots of pencils and their erasers. At 20 he sold his first novel to DAW Science-Fiction, and thought at the time he was about to journey on a long career being a middle of the road Sci-Fi writer. Ah, but the finicky gods had other plans. Over the years he has delved into self-publishing novels and collections of short stories. Currently he has hardcore dark noir novellas out with up-and-coming Indie houses such as Fahrenheit13 and Near To The Knuckle. He's also found a home with Britain's Endeavour Press, a dynamic new name in the ebook publishing field, with the re-release of his Turner Hahn/Frank Morales police-detective novels.  Endeavour is also publishing his new series, featuring a 1st Century Roman detective by the name of Decimus Julius Virilis.   The writing game is nothing but an odds-very-much-stacked-against-you throw of the dice. But B.R. Stateham has no plans in throwing in the towel and walking away.
