Aesthetic Press is a Full-Service Digital-First Independent #Publisher of commercial fiction Novels, Novelettes, & Anthologies. We specialize in Thrillers, Mysteries, Dark Fiction, and #books with Dark Humor, Anti-Heroes, & Compelling/Gritty Themes!

7 of their #authors will join me for this week's discussion show. We will discuss what it is like to work for such a company. We will talk writing, author life, life and much more. Throw some questions our way during the live show and we could talk about that. Below is a list of Aesthetic Press authors who will be joining us.

Aditya Gautam (debut author of Surreal Psychological Thriller, A DREAM OF DUPLICITY released 3/22/22): His short stories and poems have been published in India, Singapore, the USA, and the UK. One of his speculative short stories was included in the Best Asian Fiction Anthology, 2018 by Kitaab, Singapore.

A.D. Graves: She is from Carmel, New York, a small lakeside town. She loves to sit by the water on sunny days and type herself into fictitious worlds. She has her associate degree in Psychology, which helps when it comes to creating characters. This story holds elements of life that teenagers endure in the shadows, she values the importance of not feeling alone.

Rebecca Frost (Academic author of Psychological Thriller NOT YOUR MARY SUE releasing 6/7/22): She is a published academic who researches and writes about serial killers. Her dissertation was about the history of written true crime in the United States. She is the author of three books published through McFarland on Jack the Ripper, H.H. Holmes, and Making a Murderer, and she is currently under contract for two books about the works of Stephen King, one through McFarland and one through Lexington.

Simon Maltman (author of Crime Noir THE WOLF IS AT YOUR DOOR releasing 8/23/22): Simon Maltman is the author of novels, novellas and short stories, released with various publishers. An Amazon Bestseller from Northern Ireland he writes a range of crime fiction thrillers. A regular guest at festivals and events, he is the tour guide for Belfast Noir, and also a well known book reviewer for the likes of ITV and online journals. An established ‘Ulster Noir’ author, he also writes American-set high concept thrillers.

A.G. Chacon (debut author of New Adult Dark Fantasy Saga THE IRON FISTS releasing 12/12/22): She is a bisexual Mexican college student majoring in English at the University of Chihuahua. Writing has always been her passion, for it helps calm her mind and erase her insecurities. Nothing gives me more pleasure than writing a good series of dialogues and creating new characters. She believes everyone has a role to play in this life, and that she can transmit hope through writing stories. When she is not writing or reading, she plays video games, watches anime, and does yoga every afternoon.

Brendan Hayes (debut author of YA Horror Thriller EXPECTATIONS releasing TBA): For the past seventeen years he has been a high school English teacher in the Chicago suburbs. Without exception, his favorite class to teach has been Creative Writing, which affords him a steady flow of reading material. A couple of years ago, some students challenged him to write an example of an assignment; and, as he was writing it, he remembered how much he enjoyed the writing process (that story, heavily edited, was published on the Ultrarunning Magazine website).

Ell Priya (author of Crime Thriller SHAMELESS IN STILETTOS releasing 1/13/23): Her writing career began in August, 2014 when she became an integral part of the Write Club, Bangalore. An avid reader and writer since childhood, she rediscovered her calling in writing fiction. Over the years she has been published in over fifteen publications by Women's Web, Write Club magazine and anthologies by The Hive, along with her stand alone horror book - The Door.
