An Interview with Kevin Kane

Kevin Kane is a husband and father. He served four years in the United States Air Force, and that is when he first began creative writing. Kevin writes everything from public relations to sports journalism. When not writing, he is a foodie, cooking and eating delicious recipes.

An Interview with Jane Flynn

I am a ‘serial New Yorker’ who returned to New York in 2020 after thirty years in Greece. After a short career in law in New York, I moved to my then-husband’s home country, where I raised a family and worked in marketing, retail food, and volunteer advocacy for nearly thirty years.

Hailing from East Sussex, UK, S.R. Phillips brings a personal touch to her debut fantasy trilogy. A devoted reader, she lives with her husband and young son, finding inspiration in the rolling landscapes of her home county. When not writing, she enjoys uncovering new walking paths, farm shops, and cozy pubs for a Sunday roast.

Frank Eugene Dukes Jr. is a storyteller shaped by resilience, faith, and the quiet courage of perseverance. Born with a congenital condition that required ongoing medical care, Frank’s early years were marked by frequent journeys between Garyville, Louisiana, and New Orleans – each Greyhound bus ride with his mother a testament to love, endurance, and hope.

An Interview with A.J. Graham

A fanatic for all things sci-fi and fantasy, A.J. Graham was originally born in Glasgow, Scotland but moved to the North-East of England as a child. He still lives there, in a small market town. He enjoys spending time getting lost in the worlds of other people’s stories, as well as getting lost in the real world on walkies with his beagle Dexter.

I was raised in Oak Park, Illinois, and for a long time, I thought I’d become a journalist. Life, however, had other plans – and I’m so glad it did. Today, I’m a women’s fiction novelist who loves bringing characters to life as they navigate real struggles, discover love, and uncover the beauty tucked inside everyday moments.

I was raised in the small mountain town of Webster Springs, West Virginia, where I had the rare blessing of being brought up by two sets of grandparents I called ‘Mom’ and ‘Dad.’ It was an amazing childhood, full of memories and lessons that stuck with me long after I left those mountains.

I live in Flint Michigan and I love creativity. I am a former cosmetologist and makeup artist. I’m also a jewelry designer and I used to create handmade designs for my Etsy store. I have a gift for interior decor and abstract painting. I love music, with Prince being my favorite of all time.

An Interview with C.O. Wyler

Born and raised in Southern California, I am a Christian who lives in the Pacific Northwest. Having owned a business for over thirty years, I am thankfully retired and enjoy spending time with my family and traveling.

I am an independently published author, rural advocate, and outdoor guide with a passion for storytelling that connects people to the natural world. Over the years, I have written numerous books, essays, and articles that explore themes of outdoor adventure, rural life, and the profound connections we share with our natural surroundings. My work has appeared in publications such as Backwoods Home Magazine, Countryside, Speckled Paw Times, and North Carolina Outdoors, and I have been honored with multiple awards for my fiction.
