About this title

About the Author

Four authors living in the small rural town of Silver City, New Mexico, USA came together to offer you eight fantastic tales.

 

Alethea Eason is a writer, artist, and retired educator. She loves the intersection of desert and mountains, ravens, hiking under intensely blue skies, having community, Tai Chi, and that first sip of very strong and very hot coffee every morning.

 

Kris Neri's latest novel is her first mainstream fiction: Hopscotch Life, a quirky, accept-yourself-in-all-your-glory novel. She also writes the Tracy Eaton mysteries, and the Samantha Brennan & Annabelle Haggerty Magical series, as well as standalone thrillers and short stories.

 

Kris teaches writing for the prestigious Writers' Program of the UCLA Extension School, and has assisted countless writers as a writing coach and freelance editor.

 

Most days you'll find EJ Randolph pounding out a few pages on her computer and hoping for sun to pour amps into her solar array's electrical system's batteries.

 

Her background in history informs her writing, giving her a grounding in the way life works, how chains of cause and effect operate. For her science fiction series, Federation Diplomat Stories, she draws upon her many classes and readings in military and diplomatic history.

 

Kate Rauner writes science fiction and science-inspired poetry, and serves as a volunteer firefighter. She's a retired engineer and Cold War Warrior (honestly, that's what the US Congress called people who worked in America's nuclear weapons complex.) Kate now lives on the edge of the Southwest's Gila National Forest and says she's well on her way to achieving her life-goal: to become an eccentric old woman.
