A little about me, I have 1 published novel, 'Saga of the Wild Hunt,' which is a YA fantasy novel based at the magical school of Toserra Sorose academy. The school is full of werecreatures, vampires, faeries, elves, angels, leprechauns, etc. It draws heavily on world mythology and Saga, is the first valkyrie to be seen in the realms since Ragnarok. I'm currently editing book 2, which draws on Greek mythology, including Hades and Tartarus, introduces some of the eastern realms and has some connection to the story of the pied piper. Book 3, which is partially written is expanding the world to include Japanese and African mythology. While some of my side stories include inspiration from folk stories, Hawaiian lore, and even a few brain eating zombies!
I'm also the author of 'The Kahzer Chronicles,' a serialised fiction project on Mythrill, a free to use app specialising in fantasy and sci-fi fiction minus the romance. The Kahzer Chronicles follows S…
Hi. This is Mary L Schmidt akak S, Jackson. Mary L. Schmidt is a multi-hyphenate and writes under her given name and a pen name, S. Jackson, along with her husband Michael, pen name A Raymond. She grew up in a small Kansas (USA) town and has lived in more than one state since then. At this time, Mary and her husband split their time between homes in Kansas and Colorado as they love the mountains and off road four-wheeling. Traveling is one of their most favorite things to do and Mary always has a book to read on her Kindle. Books are one of her favorite things. When she was younger, it seemed like every time she turned around, a new library card was needed due to the current one being stamped complete. Diving into a good book made any day perfect and you would be surprised at the number of books she read over and over. Mary has written 48 books thus far, and they range from art book, recipe book, children's books, several memoirs, and romance books. As a child, Mary drew paper dol…

Hi, I'm Gregory Alexander Sharp, but I go by Greg. I was born in September 1970, and raised in Surrey in the UK by a Scottish mother and an English father.
I'm a business executive with a long career in consulting and business to business services with some of the world's most recognisable brands, and now I'm an author too. My debut novel, IL LUPO was published in January 2023 and takes the reader on a wild adventure across Italy and the Highlands of Scotland as two old friends face up to mental health issues, while being confronted with an ancient curse - the curse of the werewolf.
In September 2023 I released the sequel to IL LUPO, which is named KILL AND CURE, and takes the reader a little deeper into the supernatural, layering vampires on top of the lycanthropes, against a backdrop of London gangsters. Both novels include a healthy dose of realism, drawing on my experiences with my own mental health, dealing sensitively with such matters as grief, depression, anxiety…

I officially started my writing journey in 2020. Before then, I dabbled in screenwriting, took a few courses, and wrote songs. When I started to write my first novel, I couldn't believe I hadn't been doing it all along. Now I can't stop.
During the last few years, I've written 3 books and published 1 so far (working toward the 2nd). I write SFF.
Hello there!
Name/Pen Name: Kaylen Soriano
Short Bio: I was born and raised in the Southwestern, USA. Naturally, I was great at spelling as a child, which later turned into a passion for reading and writing.
By the time I reached high school, I knew I wanted to publish at least one book in my life time. Some negative feedback kept me from writing for a time, but when I was in college, I had a dream that turned into a huge motivation to write my Curse Entwined series. This was an on and off process that took about 10 years to write, edit, and finally publish in 2021.
