Finding the Magic

USA Today Best selling Author Monique Singleton  writes compelling stories that mix fantasy with realistic psychological  suspense and unique insights into the mind of the main characters.

As  the daughter of a British soldier and his Dutch wife, Monique was born  in an English military hospital in Germany. The family toured the world  where she was exposed to different cultures in many countries. Finally  settling down in the Netherlands she pursued a career in Art and later  in ICT.

About six years ago Monique started to put the scenes she had running around in her head, down to paper.

Scenes led to a story, the story to a book, and the first book to a series.

In  addition to her writing, Monique still holds down a full-time job as a  business consultant. She lives in a beautiful old farmhouse in the south  of Holland with her two sloppy monster dogs, some horses, and a cat.

The cat is the boss.

Bruno Martins Soares writes fiction  since he was 12 years old, and his first book, 'O Massacre' (The  Massacre), a collection of short stories, came out in Portugal in 1998.

It was followed by several contributions to newspapers, magazines, and other collective books.

In  1996, he won the National Young Creators Award for Writing,  representing Portugal at the 1997 Torino Young Creators of Europe and  the Mediterranean Fair, where his short-story 'Mindsweeper' was  translated and published in Italian.

His first novel  'A Saga de Alex 9' (The Alex 9 Saga) was published in Portugal in 2012,  by publisher Saída de Emergência, within a series that features authors  like George R.R.Martin or Bernard Cornwell. The Portuguese version of  'The Dark Sea War Chronicles' (A Batalha da Escuridão) was published by  Editorial Divergência.

He worked in Project  Development for Television and was a journalist and a communications, HR  and management consultant before settling as a writer. He was also an  international correspondent in Portugal for Jane's Defense Weekly and a  researcher for The Washington Post. He wrote several plays and short and  full-length pictures' screenplays, and he wrote and produced  English-spoken Castaway Entertainment's full-length feature film  'Regret', distributed in the USA and Canada in 2015. He lives and works  in Lisbon.

He now writes under two different  'brands': Bruno Martins Soares for scifi/fantasy and B.Martins Soares  for more literary/realistic literature. Follow him on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Bruno-Martins-Soares/e/B0754WSPL2

You may be wondering.

Well, it’s real.

Way back in the shadows of the Middle Ages, an ancient ancestor  walked (or should I say LIMPED) away from a big medieval battlefield  having done enough service to his liege lord to merit the reward of a  dukedom.

(The limping is important, incidentally. It earned his  descendants the surname that is translatable as ‘son of the gimp’ – and  that was my maiden name.)

The Dukedom, of course, no longer exists and the family fractured in  the years of the Ottoman Empire’s rule, some converting under pressure,  other proudly not – either way, the family line is traced directly… to  me. That which my ancestors ruled as Dukes over is long gone – but as  their descendant, a Duchess I really AM, I have a coat of arms and  EVERYTHING, and I’m just attaching the title to “Fantasy” as opposed to a  titular dukedom long vanished into the mists of history.

Alma Alexander, Duchess of Fantasy, at your service.

From Thomas: I’ve always been a huge fan of science fiction  and super hero comics. When I was a kid I used to write and draw my own  crudely constructed comic-books. My drawings never caught up to my ideas  which is why I took up writing.

Versatile Layer is a Science Fiction  novel series that I have planned to write for some time. I went ahead  and published it myself. The goal is to eventually expand into other  forms of media. I believe the VL universe and characters transcend the  page and would even make for a great cinematic universe some day.

S.E. Anderson can’t ever tell  you where she’s from. Not because she doesn’t want to, but because it  inevitably leads to a confusing conversation where she goes over where  she was born (England) where she grew up (France) and where her family  is from (USA) and it tends to make things very complicated.

She’s  lived pretty much her entire life in the South of France, except for a  brief stint where she moved to Washington DC, or the eighty years she  spent as a queen of Narnia before coming back home five minutes after  she had left. She recently completed her masters of astrophysics and has  started her PhD in planetary science.

When she’s not writing, or  trying to science, she’s either reading, designing, crafting, or  attempting to speak with various woodland creatures in an attempt to get  them to do household chores for her. She could also be gaming, or  pretending she’s not watching anything on Netflix.
