| Mark V. McDonnell is one of the brilliant minds behind the anthology, Somewhere South of Normal |
I'm elated to feature the authors of Somewhere South of Normal for the 2014 Halloween Haunt-y Hootenanny & Giveaway! As we prepare for the biggest Halloween event ever, I thought it might be nice if y'all meet these wonderful authors.
Amber Garr: Amber Garr spends her days as a scientist and nights writing about other worlds. Her childhood imaginary friend was a witch, Halloween is sacred, and she is certain she has a supernatural sense of smell. Amber is a multiple Royal Palm Literary Award winner, author of the bestselling The Syrenka Series, The Leila Marx Novels, The Water Crisis Chronicles, and the Death Warden Series. When not obsessing over the unknown, she can be found dancing, reading, or enjoying a good movie. Visit her at www.ambergarr.com
A.P. Kelly: A.P. Kelly is college educated, has a cat, and writes fantasy.
Corina Pelloni: a saying speaks of many fish- yet what of the many seas?
grant me sufficient hours to swim in all of these!
though a splash of paint or a wave of ink can deeply satisfy,
an urge to drift on tides of words i neither can deny.
Mark V. McDonnell : A poet and fine artist who spent his first 50 years living within sight of the Empire State Building, Mark V. McDonnell is awaiting appointment as Commissar of Enlightenment.
Serena Schreiber: Serena Schreiber started life in Brooklyn, New York. After living in Miami, London, and Bremen, Germany and narrowly escaping the corporate world, she became an award-winning children's author of the series Finn's Books. By day she writes about climate change. By night she pens adult fantasy and Howls at the Moon. Visit her and other characters at www.serenaschreiber.com
Kathleen Spalding: Kathleen Spalding always wanted to be a mermaid when she grew up; being born human in Arkansas stacked the odds against her. After living in several states and two countries, she eliminated one obstacle by settling near the ocean in Florida. Although she can tell a tale, she has yet to grow one.
Sterling Stone: Sterling Stone, an award-winning children’s book author, decided to dance on the darker side of literature and explore the freaky, fantastical world of False Key.
Kathy Thomas: Kathy Thomas
is of the rare “pre -Disney World” Floridian breed, where all things
are possible while in sight of the ocean, once a person gets over
sweating. Fishing, kayaking, hiking, swimming, horsemanship, animal
behavior, fiction, and music are all abundant in her life. The Gypsy
life is the life indeed as witnessed by her four grown children and five
grandchildren. After a stint in an RV and as a state park
volunteer/employee she is writing of her life and travels. Being a Reiki
Master with a BA in Psychology and Creative Writing, she is always a
student of massage and healing. Visit her at her blog
DJ Voelker: Dj Voelker Artful curiosity; eyes behold magnitudes of splendid: colors, shapes, and tonalities of wonderful life. Gaze into this beauty, as long as one must… then Paint it!! Skillful Loves: Artist, Graphic Designer, Web Developer, and Business Branding dj@EHGdesigns.com
Note from me: You can also catch my craziness in Somewhere South of Normal. If you like sexy, Aussie, naughty, sorta-angels, you can find a certain one roaming the pages of this anthology.
