Mike Sharlow:
I live in the Midwest in a small city on the Mississippi River. I have a difficult time writing a bio that doesn’t sound like a profile for Match.com, so I’ll tell you the harsher things about me first. Sometimes I’d rather punch people in the face than reason with them, but I rarely do punch people. I’ve been charged with a felony. The loss of my job, the foreclosure of my home, and dissolution of my marriage led to bankruptcy and was the perfect brew for insanity. A kind judge took pity on me and dropped the charge to a misdemeanor.
I’m familiar with drugs and alcohol, but it comes more natural than it is an aspiration.
I’m agnostic rather than atheist because I can’t prove there isn’t a God.
Now one of the good things: In of March of 2012 I was the keynote speaker at a writer’s conference held the local university. I critiqued the work of young vulnerable literary minds. My job, I believed, was to send them on their merry way believing their words mattered. I hope I did.
Although I’ve been writing forever, lately I’ve decided to write shorter pieces with the goal of 100 published stories before I die, hopefully also at 100. I have 92 to go.

Kara Leigh Miller: I was born and raised in the small town of Mexico, New York. Having grown up as an only child, I was forced to find ways to entertain myself. When I tired of playing with my barbie dolls and cats, I would curl up with a book or two and escape the boredom of being alone. I’d always thought it’d be fun to create my own world with just words, but it wasn’t until a school English assignment that I actually tried it. I was hooked instantly and began to write horror and mystery stories. It wasn’t until 2011 that I picked up my first romance/erotica novel. I’d found a new passion.

Enjoy my friends and thank you.
