8-9 Kyle Perkins It was only recently that Kyle Perkins discovered his love of putting his imaginative daydreams in writing for others to enjoy. He founded and managed some of the largest text-based roleplaying groups on Facebook, which sparked his passion for storytelling and helped him sharpen his skills as an author. Since the January 2016 release of his debut dystopian novel, Reddened Wasteland, Kyle has published three other works with plans to release several more in the upcoming months, including the second installment of the Reddened Wasteland series. He’s a dog person, an Aquarius, and he lives in Florida, though he’ll tell you he lives on the internet. Here are his stalking links: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KylePerkinsAuthor 9-10 Lila has spent more time in her own mind than she has being “present” in the real world, to be honest. When it comes to talking about herself, everything seems so mundane compared to the things she has seen and done in her imagination. This may have something to do with why she decided to start putting it in to words to share with others. Lila grew up in a semi-rural town in Florida. She has always been an avid reader and writer - though she didn’t have the cojones to publish anything before now. She is also a huge fan of wasting time on the internet. She has been a waitress, a secretary, worked in retail and done manual labor… all of which paid much better than hustling as an indie author, but were nowhere near as rewarding. She loves her life as a writer and wouldn’t have it any other way. She will eat ramen every day for the rest of her life if it means that she can keep telling stories.

Dan Hollifield was born in November of 1957 at almost the same moment that Sputnik II was launched. However, the two events are not, in fact, related. His father was a machinist, graduating from the General Motors Institute in the mid 1950s. After fleeing the harsh Michigan winters for a return to the families ancestral home, Dan's father began working in Oak Ridge, TN making toys for the physicists to play with. Dan's mother is an artist specializing in oils, china painting, glass painting, and multimedia home-crafts.   When the Standardized Aptitude Tests were introduced in Tennessee elementary schools, Dan was revealed to have the reading level of a tenth grade student. Unfortunately, he was only in the third grade at the time. In the fourth grade he was allowed to go to the school library for the first time, where he checked out two books. Jules Verne's Journey To The Center Of The Earth and An H G Wells Omnibus which contained five of Wells' most famous novels. One more Standardized Test occurred later that year, and fourth grader Dan had risen to a twelfth grade reading level, with a timed reading speed of 400 words per minute. However, he has never been good at any sports, other than dodgeball. Even later than that, his family moved yet again, this time to Athens, GA. He has lived in or near Athens for the remainder of his life.

Gary Starta is a former journalist who studied English and Journalism at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. His love for science fiction compelled him to write his first novel What Are You Made Of? published in 2006. Inspired by Isaac Asimov, the science fiction novel focuses on intelligent artificial life and whether sentient androids should possess the same rights as humans. The androids in Starta's novel are created as hybrids - part machine, part human - further blurring the line between human and machine. Starta foresees a near future where humans will be forced to decide if intelligent machinery is indeed a life form. Possibly, in this near future, some humans will possess computer enhancements to overcome disabilities becoming hybrids themselves. The line between biological life form and mechanical life form continues to be examined in 2010's Gods of the Machines. 9 Incarnate, along with its preceding Caitlin Diggs (series) novels, Demon Inhibitions, Extreme Liquidation and Blood Web are reminiscent of the The X-files television/movie series. Contemporary authors Laurell K. Hamilton, Rachel Caine, Jim Butcher and Kelly Armstrong also fuel his aspiration to create paranormal suspense. Watch for Diggs and Shay books soon. Starta's crime novella ' Murder By Association' blends mystery with forensic investigation. It is a departure from previous books because it contains no science fiction or paranormal elements. Its follow up is 2012's Kindred Killers. Additionally, Starta foresees his 2008 novella ' Alzabreah's Garden ' - a fantasy romance - as another out-of-the-box effort.  Coalescence begins a trilogy including forthcoming Time Wanderer and Obsolescence.

Debi DeSantis is an award winning book cover designer as well as author. She is originally from Bensalem, Pennsylvania just outside of Philadelphia, but now lives on the west coast of Florida with her husband of 22 years and teenage son. Some of her vices are travel, making crafts, spending time with family and doing anything creative. After publishing numerous poems, Debi won a couple of awards and was asked to travel to Washing DC to accept her award. This gave her the green light for finishing her dusty manuscript which she decided to title....She Cries in the Dark. Using some of her own life experiences as well as lots of imagination, her book was born. Debi decided to self publish after many attempts at the large publishing houses. She was well aware of the low chance that a traditional publisher would welcome her with open arms. Debi went on the road and participated in book signings at the big book stores to try to get her name out there. Then with social media becoming such a huge outlet for indie authors, joined the band wagon and uses her website as well as her facebook page to let others know about her writing and cover designing.   http://www.lulu.com/shop/debi-desantis/the-other-side-of-you/paperback/product-22404122.html
