Tracee de Hahn writes the Agnes Luthi mystery series set in Switzerland. Prior to writing fiction she began her career in the practice of architecture, using the need to see great buildings as an excuse to travel. After several years in Switzerland, and receiving an advanced degree in European history, she turned her hand to the non-profit world, eventually running alumni relations for a west coast university. Having left the ‘real’ world to purse a writing career, she now lives with her husband and Jack Russell Terriers in southwest Virginia in a Victorian house with the foothills of the Appalachian mountains in the far distance. There they have a marvelous deep porch where limitless cups of Lady Grey tea can be enjoyed while the next book is plotted. She loves reading and travel and cooking and is an occasional amateur painter.

Deborah Lincoln grew up in the small town of Celina, among the cornfields of western Ohio. She earned a bachelor’s degree in English from Michigan State University and a master’s degree in Library Science from the University of Michigan. She and her husband have three grown sons and live on the Oregon coast. Of her passion for historical fiction, she says: “I’m fascinated by the way events— not only wars and cataclysms and upheavals, of course, but also the everyday changes that wash over everyday lives—bring a poignancy to a person’s efforts to survive and prosper. I hate the idea that brave and intelligent people have been forgotten, that the hardships they underwent have melted away like a rim of ice on a warm spring day.”

Her book, Agnes Canon’s War is the story of her great great-grandparents, two remarkable people whose lives illustrate the joys and trials that marked America’s tumultuous nineteenth century.

Originally from British Columbia, Veronica Tanzen spent many years traveling and experiencing different countries and cultures. Although she called BC her home, she never truly felt as though she belonged there. It wasn’t until she followed her heart to a new city (on almost the opposite side of Canada), that she began to feel herself becoming the woman she was meant to be. Happily settled in Ontario since 2008, Veronica has never looked back, and can’t imagine living anywhere else (then again, a quaint beach-side home somewhere hot for the winter months is still not out of the question).

As a very shy and awkward child, Veronica spent far too much time daydreaming as her way of escaping her insecurities and “meh,” life. As someone who hears and speaks in pictures, those daydreams can be credited for helping hone her strong writing voice. Twenty years ago, Veronica began to discover that she had a knack for stirring up excitement, and infusing passion, into communities and corporations through their respective newsletters. It wasn’t until self-publishing her quirky and heartfelt memoir, Living Out Loud, that Veronica finally began to spread her wings as a writer.

As a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, Veronica’s passion towards strong and healthy relationships is what drives her to inspire others with her blogs and future books.

Her book – LOL – Living Out Loud takes you on a fresh and quirky ride through one woman’s attempt to master the science of cyber-dating, while navigating her way down the road to finding true love. Start with a one-conflicted, twice-divorced single mother, toss in some humorous self-discovery, sprinkle in a smattering of questionable dating profiles, and wrap it all up in a very colorful package that will make you want to laugh, cry, and strive to live your own life out loud.

Jordan loves vampires. She also loves to laugh. And if you know anything about Jordan, you know her vampires will make you laugh.A few years back Jordan received a copy of Twilight from her husband as part of her anniversary gift. By the end of that week she’d read the entire series and moved onto Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles. Eight weeks and eighteen vampire books later the idea for her first book came to her followed very quickly by Eva Prim.

The Eva Prim Series follows the night-to-night escapades of The Demon Mistress, a vampire with the inexplicable ability to call demons. With both full-length novels and short stories the series has a bit of something for everyone.

Jordan’s other books include Black Magic Rose, book one of The Alliance Series, where the world is set in a hospital run by vampires and werewolves; and The Central City Romance Series, where members of The Vampire Guard one-by-one find love in the ruins of the city.

When she’s not writing about one vampire or another Jordan enjoys spending time with her husband, Ken and their lovable Labradors, Dino and Enzo on the beautiful beaches of New England.

21 Things You Should Know About This Author

 

What book have you gifted the most? Why?

I’ve gifted The Vampire’s Partner, Book 2 in my Central City Series more than any other. Anyone who signs up for my newsletter receives it free from me. Book One, Her Vampire’s Promise, is already free on all eRetailers so I give book 2 away to keep the fun going!

What is the one productivity tool you use every day? Why?

I use a timer to keep me on track. I time my writing periods and my breaks so that one, I take a break, and two, I know when the break is over. Also, I write my word count down at the end of each writing period so that I can see my progression. It helps keep me focused.

What word do you misspell most often? Breathe.

For some reason I never think it needs that last e.

What three things do you do to be a successful writer?

First and foremost I write. You can’t be a writer if you don’t write. Second, I read. Third, I live my life. I get out from my office and away from my desk and social media and enjoy my life.

What are the titles of the last two books you have read?

“A Girl Walks Into A Book” and “Game of Thrones.”

What is your favorite word?

Currently my favorite word is delicious.

What do you use more often – a dictionary or a thesaurus?

This is a very close call, but I’m going to say a thesaurus.

What would you name the autobiography of your life?

So, this is it?

What is your ‘go to’ munchie or drink while writing?

I have 2 different munchies- almonds and dark chocolate. I like to drink tea- hot or cold.

Is a picture worth a thousand words? Elaborate.

Sometimes. There are times when a picture can make you think of a most elaborate story to go with it, and yet, at other times one single word can say it all.

What animal are you most similar to and why?

I’m not sure. At times I might be a Tasmanian Devil and at other times more like a sloth. I have been told I’m the physical embodiment of inertia. I do not stop doing what I’m doing. So I will continue going, going, going until someone else stops me or if I’m reading, I will not move until the book ends.

How would your best friend describe you?

He says I’m kind, smart, brave,

My name is Peggy (Loughner) Fisher and my daddy died when I was 7 years old! Throughout my life I have loved my daddy and always thought of him as MY HERO. After I saw the movie “Unbroken”, I began to start to get a ‘glimpse’ into REAL war. My daddy’s actual words of what he went through followed along the movie very closely. I started writing this book to acknowledge history, to remember MY memories as a 7 year old, to hand his story down to his future generations and to honor my daddy and family for what they all endured. This book was written from the heart and I hope you enjoy DADDY CAME HOME!

I’m originally from Florida, USA. Throughout the course of my short 19 years, I’ve lived across the country, met different people, but always had some boom bap in the background. I’ve always been an avid listener of Hip Hop. Some of my early influences include Rakim, Jurassic 5, and Eminem. Artists like these inspired me to write my first rhyme at the age of 7.

I’m looking forward to developing artistically so that I can continue to put out high quality tracks for people to enjoy. But at the end of the day…I don’t spit raps to send a diss, but to give back to those who’ve been trapped in an abyss.
