Meet The Author: Darin Calhoun


Darin Calhoun is an independent author sailing the genre seas, with the island of urban fantasy as his current home. Be warned, he writes about strong women and flawed characters. So, if you don't like these personalities in your protagonist, you'll be abundantly disappointed. However, if that's the way you enjoy your heroes, read on.

Darin admits to posting on Twitter or Facebook at 3AM, but blames it on an abusive muse. Some writers' muses give them a gentle tap on the shoulder; his, he explained, uses a sledgehammer.

The latest story his muse knocked out of his brain is about Gina Madonna. Gina is a former Los Angeles newspaper crime reporter who finds herself unemployed, dumped by her fiancé, and having to crash at her best friend's apartment in Hollywood while she picks up the remnants of her life. In desperation, she accepts a job interview as a personal assistant to Mr. Green, and she becomes caught up in a mysterious world filled with dark intrigue and magic that may lead to her demise.

Darin was kind enough to share a link to Gina Madonna and the Falling Man: http://bit.ly/HxcjhA



As Darin said above, he is on Twitter and Facebook at all hours of the day and night, interacting with readers, authors, and friends.

He would love for you to connect with him via the links below:

Meet The Author: Kirkus MacGowan

Kirkus MacGowan wrote his first novel at age eight about traveling to Mars to find the cure for cancer. But then he put his writing dreams on hold for twenty-five years and focused his energies on playing baseball. He moved on when he found playing softball with his friends more enjoyable.
Since then, he graduated with a B.S. in Psychology, married a woman too good to be true, and moved back to his hometown. He gave up an amazing career waiting tables and now stays at home with his two crazy children. He spends his time writing thrillers and fantasy and wrestling with his kids.

Have you ever considered the possibility that by observing the actions of others, your brain responds as if you were performing them yourself?
What if you knew that advances in neuroscience and behavioral psychology were discovering that this process within our brain, along with the non-verbal cues, function as a catalyst that alters outcomes within organizational and social settings?
In this intriguing new book, LiNK: The Fascinating Ways Our Minds Connect, John Serpa presents a fresh look into eighty years of scientific research that gives us the reasons "why" organizations can be transformed with little expense.

How? By harnessing the intriguing ways our minds link. Throughout the book, he shares insights from neuroscience experts and spitfire organizations such as a public boarding school that boasts one of the highest college enrollment levels, a company that achieves 99.9997 percent accuracy without consultants or costly software, a hospital that radically improved the care for premature infants, and how blind children were taught to make movies. The lessons they'll teach will benefit you.

Meet Published Author Elizabeth Edmondson


Elizabeth Edmondson was born in Chile to an impeccably English father and a distinctly un-English Argentine mother. Educated by Benedictine nuns in Calcutta, Fabians in London, and Inklings at Oxford, she has lived in England, India, Malta and Italy. Her Mountjoy books (originally published by Hodder & Stoughton, 1993-8, under the pen-name Elizabeth Pewsey) were inspired by years of living in York, where her son was a chorister at the Minster, and depict the unholy, unquiet, and frequently unseemly goings-on of an (imaginary) northern cathedral city and its peculiar surroundings.

Her family instilled in her a love of reading, and after pushing her dreams of becoming a published author aside for twenty years, she jumped in with both feet. In the past two years, she has published six romantic-suspense mystery novels and two free short stories. Several of her novels have shared bestseller space with Nicholas Sparks, Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb, Iris Johansen, and other New York Times bestselling authors.
