Melina Druga
Rumor has it that Melina Druga came out of her mother’s womb with a pen in her hand. While we can neither confirm or deny this, you could say she was destined to become a writer. Melina was so young when she began writing that she can’t remember exactly when the urge began. She does remember, however, her first novel – an historical fiction story about two sisters living in an Ohio canal town in the 1840s – that she wrote at age 10. Music keeps Melina sane, and it has gotten to the point that she cannot write without it. It keeps her awake, alert, motivated and productive. Music has even inspired her fiction. And not just The Rock Star’s Wife series. The My Chemical Romance song “Mama” was the inspiration for her historical fiction novel Angel of Mercy. Melina lives in the Midwest with her husband, daughter, black cat, books and CD collection.

Peter Scholes
I am a primary school teacher by day and single parent to a beautiful little girl the rest of the time. Writing is an enjoyable hobby of mine when I am not planning lessons or watching my beloved Carlisle United (something else that has been denied us for much of this last 18 months in these strange time). I love to write and take myself to all sorts of weird and wonderful places. I have recently finished my second and third novels, Once Upon A Time There Was A Man and With Every Breath after releasing me 'Conscience' a few years ago. I have written a series of children's books (www.beyondthehill.co.uk), plays, scripts, poems and educational resources for schools. I am self-published through Amazon and am not represented by anyone as yet but I hope it is only a matter of time before publishers and agencies beat a path to my door. I would very much like to retire early. :-)

Ann Payton
Sometime in the 90s, I decided I needed a dream to pursue between working and raising three children. As the science lab coordinator for a Colorado community college, I enjoyed helping revise lab manuals, so why not become a travel writer? I managed to learn enough to sell freelance articles to several major publications. Then I wrote a travel adventure novel, which led me into giving lectures on cruise ships and writing another novel. Can't wait to see where that dream's going to take me next.

James Murray
In the spring of 2020 ( The start of the Pandemic in North America), After numerous lockdowns, social media and the entertainment industry could only bring us so far, and then the boredom kicked in. That's when I noticed a change in people that brought back many of my childhood memories from the '80s. Kids were riding their bikes and skateboarding together (I even noticed people rollerskating and rollerblading), families were outside going for walks and biking together, I hadn't seen this much family interaction since the '80s. Having siblings of various ages throughout the '80s, I witnessed and absorbed the New Wave era. Summers consisted of friends knocking on your front door (All the time!). You were hyped, anticipating the "Knock." We would walk or bike everywhere, arcades, movies, go fishing, swim. The most crucial part of the '80s was that friends simply hung out together and talked for hours. Imagination, friends, and the outdoors made the 80's. I'm James Murray, and I would like to dedicate this book to all the 80s fanatics around the globe.
