My name is Dellani and I'm an author. It's not easy to admit, but I am. After a lifetime of telling stories, writing poems, song lyrics and short stories, I moved on to the "hard stuff", writing a novel. Now, I'm hopelessly hooked. I have to write at least once a day. My 1st published novel, "Indian Summer" is available through Amazon.com or SecondWindPublishing.com Look for my new book "The Lone Wolf" coming soon from Second Wind!

I would be willing to be on one of your shows at any time. It was fun the last 2 times.
What a wonderful idea. I would love to be a guest on your blog as we get closer to my August 1st fantasy novel launch. Here is my information.

I am a firefighter/paramedic in Columbus, Ohio. I am married with 1 son. My debut novel, "The Light of Epertase: Legends Reborn," will be released on Aug. 1st from Rhemalda Publishing.
Thanks for the great idea. Prepare to be inundated with replies, I have a feeling.
I am Suzette Vaughn. I write romance, stop laughing, I really do. My first two books, "Badeaux Knights" (think southern renaissance) and "Mortals, Gods, and a Muse" (think ummm...there's a few good reviews out there)were published in 2008. My third novel, "Finding Madelyn" (Bonnie sans Clyde)will be out shortly. Number four, "Try Me" (Movie Rush meets Rainman) is in editing and I hope out sometime around the end of the year (hopefully sooner).
Alright that was fun!

Hi Dellani: It's Fran

Nice idea, Dellani. I'm Bill Kirton, based in Aberdeen, Scotland. I used to lecture in French at Aberdeen University but took early retirement to write. At first it was stage and radio plays, then I moved to short stories and novels. 5 of my crime/mystery series have been published so far, plus a historical novel that started as crime but, thanks to its female lead, also became a romance. I write children's books under the name Jack Rosse and my latest for adults is a crime/spy spoof called The Sparrow Conundrum.
My website's at www.bill-kirton.co.uk and my blog's http://livingwritingandotherstuff.blogspot.com/
This is great! Let's keep it going. Please link back to this site and share the link with your friends. This is a chance for free, shameless self-promotion. Go for it!
I write erotica full time under the pen name of Eden Baylee after leaving a 20-year banking career in Jan 2010. I have one anthology published called Fall into Winter - a book of 4 novellas. I live in Toronto, Canada, and am working on my 2nd anthology while continuing to promote my current book. Visit me at www.edenbaylee.com to connect to my website and blog.
Thnaks for providing a platform Dellani.

Hallo Dellani!
My name is Bob Roman. I write under the 'pen name' of Robert C Roman. Not much of an alias; it's just my full name, because the URLs for all the other variations of my name were taken.
I'm a storyteller. It's what I do. Around five years ago, I moved from the medium of verbal storytelling to text, and people really seemed to like it. I write Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror, Romance and Comedy. Typically all at the same time, not unlike Chris Moore or Terry Pratchett. I've actually had my editor tell me I remind her of Pratchett. I was geeking out about it for days.
I'm published (1 short, 3 novellas, and 1 novel coming soon) by Decadent Publishing. I've got novels all over the place waiting in slush piles. I blog on an irregular but not infrequent basis over at www.robertcroman.com.
Bill, not sure how to find you on Facebook. Please send me a private message. I'd like to talk to you about being on my show. Thanks, Dellani
Thanks for this opportunity, Dellani.
My most recent work is Arm Farm, my young adult novel which tells the story of Natalie, a forensic science student, who is studying to solve a cold case but finds herself a victim of her own case.
I've also published a short story collection titled Brain Tales - Volume One and a children's book titled Sending You Sammy.
Come over to my website at www.SarahButland.com to keep up to date on what I've been up to.
HI Dellani:
Thanks for the opportunity! I've got a gorgeous new cover and a new publisher for a book that's had rave reviews, but has been around awhile: my award winning historical "Mozart's Wife." I'm excited about the fantastic new cover; and it will be re-released soon by Books We Love Publishing Partners, BWLPP for short.
It's spring, which means I'm hard at work at another related book, part of a series also set among the artists of Vienna in the 1780s. It's a story I've been tinkering with every spring--in honor of the heroine's April birthday--for the last twenty years.

All my historicals, all set in the late 18th century, are available in print and and in ebook formats at amazon.com
Hi Dellani
I'm Sheila Deeth and I have two ebooks out with Gypsy Shadow publishing, both spiritual speculative fiction.

I'm still dreaming of getting some of my children's novels and other writing published, still writing, still reading...
Oh, and my website is www.sheiladeeth.com

Well Dellani what a wonderful site you have created. 'Thank you!'
I am the Author of the Mischief series, Amanda M. Thrasher. My intent is to bring back a lovely story, that has a classic fairy tale feel. New fairy tales without the scary characters of the original tales. I hope that I've done that, and I think that I have.
Lilly, Boris & Jack, my lovely little fairies, may be found in the following books, 'Mischief in the Mushroom Patch' and 'A Fairy Match in the Mushroom Patch.' But the mushroom patch is not just for girls, it has engineers, scientists,factory workers and more. Lilly, Ivy and Pearle can be found there too, along with their friends.
My books maybe found at the usual sites. www.barnesandnoble.com, amazon, and through my publisher Strategic Book Publishing Group,not to mention my website, www.amandathrasher.com
If you happen to be in the Fort Worth, TX area, they may be found at some of my local Barnes & Nobles stores.

Hi, Dellani and all,
I'm Jo Ramsey, and I write young adult fiction. I have two urban fantasy series, Reality Shift and The Dark Lines, both available from Jupiter Gardens Press, a small press. Books 1-4 in Reality Shift are available, with bok 5 coming Nov. 17, and books 1 and 2 in The Dark Lines are available, with book 3 coming in January. I also have a YA contemporary novel, Cluing In, coming out hopefully by the end of the year from Featherweight Press, another small publisher. You can find out more about me and my books on my website, http://www.joramsey.com.
Thanks for letting us talk about ourselves and our books here!
So good to see some more authors here. I'll keep reposting this thread so that we can pull in some more views.
Books are my passion and authors are my friends. I wish all of you the best in sales! ~ D
My name is Mitch Haynes and I'm the author of HOLLYWOOD AGENT PROVOCATEUR, which like almost all novels, can be found on Amazon. However, the reason I'm writing here isn't to promote my novel but rather to tell everyone about the LEXICON WRITERS CONFERENCE, which will be an interesting opportunity for anyone who writes, wants to write, or reads. Check out the website at www.Lexi-ConWritersConference.com for more information.
Well, Delani ...
I'm an author who has been around for four decades, having written pretty much every genre there is ... lately even writing my WILLIAM MALTESE'S WINE TASTER'S DIARY series and several cook-books (THE GLUTEN-FREE WAY: MY WAY; BACK OF THE BOAT GOURMET COOKING; EVEN GOURMETS HAVE TO DIET)for mainstream Wildide/Borgo's "Traveling Gourmet" imprint. I wrote three SuperRomances for Harlequin (as Willa Lambert), plus six other romances, including, most recently DARE TO LOVE IN OZ and my SEVEN CONTINENT series -- AFRICA: SPICE ISLAND LOVE.
Presently I do believe I have about 92 entries on amazon.com, including print, ebook conversions and originals, contributions to anthologies. And, yes, all 92 books are by me, despite their variety, since I don't believe there is another William Maltese, author, out there. I've only run across one other name-the-same, and that was on GOOGLE where a bio-scientist turned up.
Best way to get an idea, I guess of what I've done at least until the midpoint of last year, is the new reference book put out by Wildside/Borgo Press (302 pages of attempt to get at least 180 published books of mine, as well as my one-time 29 pseudonyms in some order -- DRAQUALIAN SILK: A COLLECTOR'S AND BIBLIOGRAPHICAL GUIDE TO THE BOOKS OF WILLIAM) MALTESE 1969-2010). Haven't counted the books I've written since mid-2010 but I'm closing in on 200 if I haven't already passed it.
Would be more than happy, someday, to put in an appearance on your radio show -- if and when.
Web page: www.williammaltese.com
Facebook: www.facebook.com/williammaltese
All sorts of additional info available, interviews, and such, by merely GOOGLING "William Maltese", keeping in mind I'm the author and not the scientist.
I am combining the sites & names listed here to post. I will edit and add to it every few days. I'm going to TRY to do by category. Bear with me if it's messy at first.
I am James Edwin Branch or at least I was yesterday. I'm a Western Author and slightly out of balance according to Dellani. Don't worry I don't write that way. I've written 22 Books and by the grace of God and sheer will power I will continue to do so until the grocerys run out. You can find me on Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble and Smashwords. Make sure to get my name right, sometimes they confuse me with the really good looking guys...
My name is Sandy Donner and I am taking advantage of Delani's lovely offer for artists to post to her blog! I am a jewelry artist who works with flame colored copper, mixed metals and other items to create unique pieces. I am willing to custom design a piece if you have something special in mind.

Hi Dellani! I'm Noah Baird, and I need sanctuary.
I'm also the author of Donations to Clarity. I would love to do an interview with you.

Hi Dellani, I'm Craig and I'd first like to apologise for the size of the comment I've posted here, but I think you have a wonderful facility here and I can see it's catching. This blurb is about a collection of Short Stories I published recently.
I began writing ‘A Scattering of Ashes’ 22 years ago when I joined the Army. The way I was dragged into the machine, into its gnashing maw and spat out the other end of 22 years like some chewed up piece of meat for civvy street to look at with mild curiosity. The time I was being chomped on, spat at and kicked at has a bearing on what I write and ‘A Scattering of Ashes’. It’s a set of tales that tell you the world isn’t the nice place we’re led to believe.
Through the book there’s a skein of a common theme. That struggle many of us face to do the right thing, to be what we’ve always wanted to be, to face up to reality and deal with it because there’s nothing else we can do. There’s guilt, jealousy, murder, betrayal and revolution.
I began work on a short story on revolution in the UK back in October 2010 while north Africa was in the grip of an societal epidemic of turmoil to overthrow their governments. This proved a catalyst to what was to become ‘Thunder on the Horizon’. Linkin Park proved to be a great inspiration for this short story with their song, ‘The Shadow of the day’. This was originally called ‘Freedom Fighters and Fools’, but I changed this at the last moment.
It’s a collection of stories told in places of conflict such as Afghanistan and I draw from personal experience some of them. I hasten to add that the first story’s main character is the sole survivor at the end and this isn’t true to events. I have a wealth of experience in these areas and can draw from personal experience as I’ve felt the heat and had the privilege of being under contact with an enemy by shooting, bombing and rocket attacks. You could say I’m a bit of a sensory vampire – I like to use that term. If it’s happening I want to experience it and when I’m in the zone I may regret it, but I just get on with it.
In the August of 2012, I plan to release my Afghanistan Diary and hope to contribute to some worthy cause such as the Poppy Appeal or the Royal British Legion.

Hi! I'm Stephanie Osborn. I am a retired rocket scientist turned writer who likes to mingle science fiction and mystery with a strong element of action thriller and a touch of romance. My style has been described as, "Hard-edged SF that wraps a compelling mystery around 'this is the real thing' space science... tight, tense, and gripping--- Osborn tells a damn good story, and tells it well."
~ Holly Lisle, author of The Ruby Key: Moon & Sun I
My very first book, Burnout: The mystery of Space Shuttle STS-281, "is a compelling, impossible to put down, first novel in the class of Skylark of Space or 'Lifeline.'... It may perhaps be the most realistic view ever published in fiction about what happens behind the scenes at NASA."
~ Jim Woosley, Ph.D. physicist and Heinlein essayist
My next book, The Case of the Displaced Detective: The Arrival, is called, "A glimpse into our future as knowledge expands and is put to new uses. A great tale of suspense, romance, intrigue and action with murder added to the mix that draws Sherlock [Holmes] and Skye Chadwick into danger."
~ Anne K. Edwards, author of Shadows Over Paradise and The Last to Fall.

Hi Dellani,
We know each other very well! My name is Barbara Ehrentreu. My first published novel, If I Could Be Like Jennifer Taylor, from MuseItUp Publishing was released in September as an e-book.

Also, I write a blog once a week, Saturdays, on DowntownYA: http://www.downtownya.blogspot.com/
Thank you, Dellani for this opportunity!
Hi Dellani,
I realized I didn't tell you anything about me or my book. I am a retired teacher and have been writing seriously for about ten years with a children's story and an adult story published online as well as a few flash stories published in "The Book Breeze".
In my YA novel, If I Could Be Like Jennifer Taylor, Carolyn Samuels is bullied by Jennifer Taylor all through middle school and then finds she is Jennifer's partner in Math. She is sure this is going to be another year of pain. Then she finds perfect Jennifer has a terrible secret. Adding to this is Carolyn's crush on Jennifer's hot quarterback boyfriend. Will she keep the secret and become popular or bear the wrath of this mean girl again?
Wow, I just found this site (thank you for doing this for the rest of us) . . . via Pat Bertram. I was privileged to review Pat's book Light Bringer for bookpleasures.com. My first novel, The Nun, was published by Plain View Press back in 1992 and PVP is planning a second edition coming up in 2012. My last novel is forthcoming from Floricanto Press any day now. In between I co-founded an author's publishing collective with Peter Burnham editor of The Long Story lit. journal these past 31 years. We've published 18 titles by 11 authors, two now deceased, all literary fiction. Check us out at:
www.thewessexcollective.com. Thanks for giving us sanctuary!
Hello Dellani,
Thanks for the space and opportunity to share (shamelessly).
My name is Ruth Davis Hays, and I'm the author of a fantasy series, called TRANSLATIONS FROM JORTHUS. I also work on independent films in the Orlando area, am a stay-at-home mom, and create costumes and faery art in my spare time. After graduating with a degree in Theater from FSU, I worked as a costumer at Universal Studios Orlando, part-time with Harcourt Publishing, and participated in a research project with TSR/Wizards of the Coast.
I'm not with any publisher at the moment; although I have the first two novels in the series in print, "The Dawnstone Tale" and "The Convergence", that are available from Amazon.com-- and on the con tables of Triscelle Publishing (Publishers of the "Morrigan's Brood" series).
There are three books completed in my JORTHUS series, with the third one going to the printer soon, and I have at least three more in progress.
The stories involve a triad of main characters: a young magic user, a thief, and a nobleman, who are propelled along a path to restore the balance of magic in their world before it falls into chaos.
For more information, I have www.booksofjorthus.com or jorthusbooks.wordpress.com.
Thanks again for this opportunity!
