The writers behind this newsletter.
Award-winning author of stories inspired by travel & insatiable curiosity. I use my powers for good to help other authors navigate the crazy publishing world by providing editing, book marketing, and promotion assistance.
Hi, I’m T.K. Sheffield, a Wisconsin author writing stories for readers to laugh and escape. "The Backyard Model Mysteries" are funny cozy mysteries. "The Valentine Lines" and "Valentines in July" are screwball comedies.
Tim Chapman's fiction has been published in The Southeast Review, the Chicago Reader, Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine, Palooka, and the anthology, "The Rich and the Dead." He's the author of two novels, "A Trace of Gold" and "The Blue Silence."
Carl Vonderau brings his rich international banking experience to his award-winning novels. He writes propulsive thrillers, but underneath are families that must struggle to stay together and survive.
