I love family, art, environment, history, calligraphy and all things language. It's only natural for me throw it into a huge pot and cook up my books. When I'm not playing with kids or pets, I'm usually immersing myself in my work.

Diane Sismour has written poetry and fiction for over 35 years in multiple genres. She lives with her husband in eastern Pennsylvania at the foothills of the Blue Mountains. She is a member of Bethlehem Writer's Group LLC, Horror Writers Association, and Liberty States Fiction Writers.

Jeff Baird is a Natural Redhead who has written about the trials and tribulations of Redheads. Lately, he has branched off into musings about hiking through Mother Nature, particularly those with waterfalls or mountain vistas, with his trusty companion, a rescued German Shorthaired Pointer dog. He resides in the beautiful Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania.

Christopher D. Ochs's foray into writing began with his epic fantasy "Pindlebryth of Lenland." While having a blast with the Lehigh Valley Storytellers Guild he crafted "If I Can't Sleep, You Can't Sleep," a collection of the mirthful macabre. His latest novel, "My Friend Jackson," is a gritty and gripping YA Urban Fantasy/Horror, and a Finalist in Indies Today's Best Books of 2020.

His short stories have been published in several anthologies from Firebringer Press, Greater Lehigh Valley Writers Group, and Bethlehem Writers Group, including "Fur, Feathers & Scales," Winner of the 2020 Indies Book Awards.

Chris has too many interests outside of writing for his own good. With previous careers in physics, engineering and software, CGI artist, classical organist, voice talent on radio, DVD, podcast and the "Voice of OTAKON," it's a wonder he can remember to pay the dog and feed his bills.

I write funny romances and quirky murder mysteries (with a bit of romance) fueled by my life as a mom and a teacher.
