Author BioAK Weller is the author of the Anna Bowman Thrillers and Sam Walsh, PI Mysteries series. She's from Texas and lives in Montana, and she's a certified human being who has never and will never use AI to write her novels. She prefers the slow, unprofitable, blood-sweat-and-tears method of crafting a story. When not writing, she enjoys hiking, Krav Maga, playing with her menagerie of half feral pets, and being the entire marketing department for her novels.Not sure where to start reading? Start with Enemy Closer if you're ready to get sucked into a new thriller series, or read Thrillhers if you love short stories. The Beast and the Books and the Institute are great choices for fans of light Science Fiction. If you're a mystery reader, check out Tiger by the Tail on Kindle Vella and stay tuned for a new series of mystery novels staring the same heroine.AK Weller's stories are heavy on the action, light on the romance (though there is a little bit!), and fast paced.

Author BioLaura Elizabeth has enjoyed a long career in business as well as a rich family life that, many years ago, took her to Daufuskie Island, South Carolina, for the first time. Together, the family embraced the wonder, the pull that they only found in this special place. They returned again and again to rediscover the island’s magic, to walk along its shores with their dogs, explore, treasure hunt and make family memories. As one of the Atlantic coastal islands, Daufuskie has been marked by centuries of American history and was made famous by novelist Pat Conroy's memoir The Water Is Wide in which he imagined the island in his unique way. From her years of family experiences on the island, Laura imagined Mongin Island as the home for her cozy series The Island Mysteries.Connect with Laura ElizabethWebsiteAmazonTimestamps00:15 Introduction1:06 What are your books about?2:16 What inspired you to write your books?6:36 When writing your book, who were you thinking of when it come’s to who your book is for?8:15 How long have you been writing?
