The Realms of a Fantastical Mind

J.S. Hazzard: “I grew up in a tiny town in Western New York and now live in the suburbs of Buffalo with my husband and our little pit bull, Casanova. After years of term papers and legal briefs, I decided to attempt writing fiction mainly to see if I could do it. (It also sounded a lot more fun and possibly easier than practicing law.) Looking back, I’m pretty sure somebody must have slipped me special kool-aid, because there’s nothing easy about the worlds of writing and publishing. That said, releasing  Blood Leverage  has been a joy, and I’m so grateful for all the support I’ve received. The only thing better than writing something you love is having someone else love something you’ve written. I absolutely love discussing  Blood Leverage  with my readers, so if you liked my work or have a suggestion for me to improve, I’d love to hear from you! I do my best to personally answer each and every one of my emails, and I can be reached through http://www.jshazzard...

Author Bio: Michael Anthony grew up in the suburbs of Virginia. As the middle child, everything requiring  electricity or batteries was either hogged by the oldest or begged for by the youngest. All too familiar with boredom spawned from idle thumbs, he found adventure in the plethora of novels, encyclopedias, and maps found on the bookshelf. It was during his journey through those shelves that he discovered The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer and The Giver by Lois Lowry. From that day to this, Michael has had a love for great stories, fascinating characters, and travel. He hopes to see every corner of the world someday, and when he finishes down here, he has his eyes set on the moon. He is currently studying history at a local college while he chases his dream of becoming one of the greatest writers of his age.

C.J. is a west coast native who has lived on both coasts and now lives near the middle, in Colorado! Coming from a family of writers and editors, she feels writing is in her blood and hopes people will lose themselves for a little while in the fantasy and fun of her stories. She also loves sweet red wine, the SF 49ers, and unlike most authors, doesn't have any cats. When she's not writing, she can be found chasing around her kids or working at her day job, which she totally feels interferes with life, but it also sometimes gives her inspiration for her books, since reality usually is way more interesting than fiction.
