Award-winning Author, Founder & President of Blue Handle Publishing and Book Puma Author Services. Book Puma began after founder, writer, and CEO of Blue Handle Publishing, Charles D’Amico, ran into issues trying to get his Neil Baggio Suspense Series edited and polished.

Here are a few words from Victoria: Ethan's Flight was published April 2008. Sadly my co-author/mother passed away from complications with renal failure from diabetes in late 2009. I struggled with continuing a writing career without my partner for several years. Finally in late 2013 I was able to pick up a few of the pieces, connect with our mentor from Ethan's Flight, and begin editing the massive first manuscript. With the support of my family, the encouragement and direction from my mentor, and the comfort, understanding and demands (When is the next book after Ethan's Flight coming out already?! Haven't I waited enough?!) from readers like you helped me take the steps necessary to pick up the pen and continue. Thank you all so much! I appreciate you all more than you know. So, I have been working on the massive manuscript to attempt self-publishing and see if I can succeed with Legacy. If the response to this is everything I hope and dream, I will take back Ethan's Flight and release the second book as well. If I don't feel the response is the best for the series, I will continue with my current publisher. Either way, there will be a second book in the near future.

Jennifer is a Louisiana native who has written and produced three indie short films that made Top 20 at Louisiana Film Prize and were awarded at festivals around the world. She lives with her husband, two doodles, and a head-of-the-house rescue kitty. Her grown daughters are off creating their own life stories. When she’s not writing, she’s walking the winding trails in her backyard or she’s on a tennis court laughing and providing job security for her coach. BROKEN BAYOU - July 1, 2024 In this debut thriller, a troubled child psychologist returns to a small Louisiana town to protect her secrets but winds up having to protect her life. Dr. Willa Watters is a prominent child psychologist at the height of her career. But when a viral video of a disastrous television interview puts her reputation on the line, Willa retreats to Broken Bayou, the town where she spent most of her childhood summers. There she visits her aunts’ old house and discovers some of her unstable mother’s belongings still languishing in the attic―dusty mementos harboring secrets of her harrowing past. Willa’s hopes for a respite are quickly crushed, not only by what she finds in that attic but also by what’s been found in the bayou. With waters dropping due to drought, mysterious barrels containing human remains have surfaced, alongside something else from Willa’s past, something she never thought she’d see again.

The authors of the new biblical fiction novel, Ahoti discuss their friendship across religious differences and their partnership in writing. Miriam was born in Trenton, New Jersey, and has lived in Israel since 1970. Her love affair with the Bible and ancient sources led to her series of books on daily life in Bible times, her first historical novel The Scroll, her newest novel Ahoti – The Story of Tamar, with co-author Eva Marie Everson, and hundreds of articles. That love grew over many years as a tour educator. Miriam’s interest in the New Testament began with the respect that she learned for people of all faiths and cultures from her parents and her older brother and sister. Her writing, and her translating and editing of scholarly research on biblical antiquity on the one hand, and her 20 years as a translator on the news desk of the cutting-edge Israeli daily Haaretz, on the other, come together in a complex whole that, for Miriam, has made life in Israel a never-ending search for meaning, ever more so in troubled times. Eva Marie Everson is a multiple-award winning author and speaker who hails from the picturesque Southern town of Sylvania, Georgia. She is CEO of Word Weavers International (http://www.word-weavers.com/) and the director of Florida Christian Writers Conference (http://word-weavers.com/floridaevents). She enjoys coaching new authors through her company, Pen in Hand. Eva Marie and her husband make their home in Central Florida. They are the parents of three fabulous children who have blessed them with the world’s greatest grandchildren.

As with Love Letters, Evans continues to convey the truth with humor, transparency and love in the midst of her grief and loss, conveying the most important message of all: you are worthy, so, so worthy of God’s love. ake sure to check out this episode🙌🏾 You can listen to the podcast on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Google Podcast, or visit my website www.drkatherinehayes.com💗 • • • #authors #podcast #interview #apple #spotify #google #authorsofinstagram #books #read #reader #writerscommunity #listen #writer #write #mayhem #authorlife #author #bookstagram #blog #book #booklover #authorssupportingauthors #writersofinstagram #writers #readersofinstagram #readersofig #readersgonnaread #dressedingodslove #authordrkatherine --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/katherine-hutchinson-hayes/support

He earned degrees in business and law at the University of Arizona, and practiced law in Phoenix Arizona with Jennings, Strouss & Salmon from 1967 to 1998. Gary started his own solo practice in 1999 and now a part-time lawyer with a focus on ethics and professional discipline. He teaches creative writing and ethics to law students at Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law. The Miranda book was about true confessions given by guilty defendants who confessed without knowing they had a Fifth Amendment right to remain silent. Innocent Until Interrogated is about false confessions given by defendants who did not believe they had any choice suffering tag-team custodial interrogation for days on end by corrupt cops. Those two books led to my writing the true story of one of Arizona’s most important wrongful conviction cases—Anatomy of A Confession. It is the true story of a woman convicted of killing her son based on a confession she never gave.   His western novels are driven by the main characteristic of the genre—the American West during the waning years of the nineteenth century. They are told by fictional characters on the frontier, cowboys, western women, sheriffs and outlaws. Horses are lead characters in every book. His mystery/psychological novels evolve around unstable or delusional mental and emotional conditions. Some of my characters suffer from dissociative identify disorders. Others chase and sometimes find retribution, revenge, and release. His blogs focus on the ethics of writing—thus combining both of my occupational hazards. The 200+ blogs on his blogsite are shallow dives into writing while maintaining ethical integrity. Gary’s subject list is seemingly endless—norms, imperatives, etiquette, fraudulent publication, plagiarism, duplicate publication, authorship, conflict of interest, pandemics, politics, and other regressions.

Before becoming a best-selling author, Dr. Randy Overbeck served a children for nearly four decades as a teacher, college professor and school leader, a career he cherished. This extensive and in-depth experience has infused his writing with a rare authenticity about the world of education, even as the protagonists of his tales tackle daunting, out-sized challenges. ​ In his career, Dr. Overbeck has held a wide range of positions and has brought this knowledge and insight to the characters he has created. For example, he began his educational career as an English teacher and student newspaper adviser, much the same as Dee Dee Sterber, the heroine of Leave No Child Behind. (Leave No Child Behind, a thriller about the takeover of a small town school  by a terrorist cell and the teacher who confronts the intruders in her own hallways, was published in 2011). Then, like Ken Parks, the assistant superintendent and protagonist in Cruel Lessons, Overbeck has also served in the role of school investigator, interrogating students and teachers in order to uncover the truth behind a crime at school. (Cruel Lessons, an atmospheric, amateur sleuth mystery about the death of four elementary students from a rogue hallucinogenic drug and the drive to uncover the murderer and drug dealer, is his newest work, released fall, of 2023).  His doctoral studies instilled in Dr. Overbeck an enhanced skill set for research and analysis that inspired him to imbue the character of Darrell Henshaw, a history teacher and amateur researcher of the Haunted Shores Mysteries with similar abilities. This award-winning series includes Blood on the Chesapeake (2019), Crimson at Cape May (2020) and Scarlet at Crystal River (2021). A fourth installment is scheduled for release in 2024.
