Elaine Bossiks / The Last Victim
Elaine Bossik had three careers: as magazine editor, medical writer and teacher in the New York City school system. She is now a staff columnist for Scriptologist.com, an online screenwriting magazine, writing how-to articles for aspiring writers under the name of Elaine Radford. She writes articles related to her novel on her website/blog, www.elainebossik.com
While Elaine’s professional career helped shape her writing, her fascination with people is the inspiration for her fiction. She believes that great stories begin and end with provocative characters.
Her debut novel was reviewed by The Midwest Book Review in April 2012. Here’s what they said: “The Last Victim” is a choice read… very much recommended.”
The Last Victim is a riveting saga about the consequences of obsession, lies and deception.
From the first moment Sophie Rothman lies to her husband about the child she is carrying, the lives of everyone in her family are changed forever.
Driven by a twisted obsession to accumulate money for its own sake, Sophie forces her family to live beneath their means and drives her husband, Harry, away. During his absence, Sophie’s loneliness leads her into an illicit affair and an unwanted pregnancy. When her lover leaves, Sophie begs Harry to return and then deceives him into believing the child she’s carrying is his. If Sophie keeps her secret, no one will be hurt. Or will they? It’s a question Sophie will have to answer one day.
Jeanie, the product of Sophie’s affair, grows into a beautiful, strong-willed woman who defies her mother at every turn and becomes an archaeologist. Destiny takes Jeanie to Masada—one of the greatest archaeological digs of all time—where she falls in love with David. When Jeanie announces her plans to marry, Sophie is forced to reveal her longguarded secret and forbid the marriage.
The events set in motion by Sophie’s revelation catapult Jeanie to a near breakdown and tear the Rothman family apart. On Jeanie’s final journey, she draws on all her courage to confront her mother and break the bonds that bind.
The Last Victim is a story spanning three decades—from the streets of Brooklyn, New York in the 1940s to the streets of Jerusalem and the harsh desert sands of Masada in the 1960s. Here is a multi-layered portrait of Jewish-American life during a turbulent time in America, and the deep connection to Israel’s fight to survive in the Middle East.

Byron Reese/Infinite Progress: How Technology and the Internet Will End Ignorance, Disease, Hunger, Poverty and War
A frequent traveler to destinations rooted in the past, such as Cuba and North Korea, Byron Reese speculates on and writes about what the future of the world will be like. As a regular speaker at international, leading-edge conferences, such as SXSW, NAB, Wolfram Data Summit, IAB, and PICNIC, he delivers talks with the art of a storyteller about history, technology, and the coming golden age of humanity.
Synthesizing history and the advances of technology, Reese makes an extremely compelling case that the future will soon see the end the five main plagues of human existence: ignorance, disease, poverty, hunger, and war. And while he is clearly an optimist, he considers himself a reasoned one and is quick to point out that over the entire span of human history, the optimists have been right virtually all the time.
With this in mind, Byron has outlined our inevitable future in Infinite Progress: How the Internet and Technology Will End Ignorance, Disease, Poverty, Hunger, and War (Greenleaf Book Group, March 2013), one in which readers are sure to come away from inspired and excited about what awaits them.
A native Texan, Reese attained his BA in Economics at Rice University, and went on to create two technology-based businesses that he later sold. He now oversees R&D for Demand Media, a content and social media brand company that operates websites such as eHow and Cracked.com.
Reese currently resides in Austin with his wife and four children.

Teresa Joyce/There’s A Fine Line
Teresa Joyce was born on the 15th December 1958 the middle child of three. After losing her father at a very young age; this was to set the pattern for the rest of her life. Losing was something she would have to get used to. Today she still has some memory of her father, but in truth it’s all a little hazy. Her mother through no fault of her own after that loss had no other alternative, other than to return to her parent’s home with her children in tow. This family unit was to spend only a few years there, until the wind of change came around once more. Happy memories are something that Teresa holds in very short supply. Her mother was set to meet the man that was to become her stepfather, and they moved once more to a new city with the promise of a new life. Hopefully it would be a happy one for all concerned, but it became a place for Teresa that felt far more like a prison. One in which she would spend many years months days and hours hating. She swore to herself that she would leave all this behind at the first possible occasion.
The subject of my book covers more than one issue; it’s a true story that ranges over a period of many years. It covers the first married years of my mother’s life, and the abuse she received from my now deceased father. The hardship she found within her life in so many ways, no one should have ever had to go through, but sadly it just seemed to follow her around. Some years later she remarried, but unfortunately this union would tear her once more into tiny pieces.

Donna Hartney/The AHA! Handbook: How to spark the insights that will transform your life and career
Donna Hartney, Ph.D., is an expert in life-changing AHA!s and teaches others how to prime themselves for flashes of clarity that will transform their lives and careers—momentous epiphanies, pivotal realizations, profound insights. She is a performance consultant who works with global leaders and professionals at Fortune 500 companies. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and lives with her family in Western New York.
The AHA! Handbook: How to spark the insights that will transform your life and career is the first research-based self-help book that teaches readers how to spark pivotal realizations. It counters conventional wisdom, which holds that momentous, life-altering AHA!s are rare events outside a person’s control.
Donna analyzed 99 published, first-hand accounts of transformational insights. For example, she analyzed how Nelson Mandela, Sandra Oh, Tracy Chevalier, and Norman Vincent Peale experienced powerful AHA!s that defined their careers. She analyzed how Nora Ephron, Emily Proctor, Blair Underwood, and Shonda Rhimes, experienced pivotal epiphanies that remade their relationships. She analyzed how Queen Latifah, Josh Hamilton, Maria Shriver, and Eckhart Tolle experienced profound insights that transformed their health and well-being.
The AHA! Handbook presents the results of that research interwoven with inspirational, real-life stories of lifechanging insights and practical advice. The book describes 21 actions readers can take to generate powerful, lifealtering realizations in their lives and careers. These actions fall into three phases: prime yourself to live life in a way that attracts pivotal realizations, watch for triggers to notice and leverage life’s insight-rich moments, and capture the value to tap the transformational power of an AHA! once it arrives.
Gerry Burke/Pest on the Run
Gerry Burke earned his stripes as a copywriter in the advertising industry, so his move to publishing was one he embraced with enthusiasm. He has a long-standing commitment to the horse racing community, late-night bars, and loose women (which inspired his comedic hero, Paddy). Gerry is single and lives in Melbourne, Australia.
Pest on the Run: Ask anyone who knows him: Paddy Pest is a real character. Paddy is an Australian crime fighter with a dubious Irish background, an overwhelming abundance of confidence, and a handful of bad habits. His enthusiasm for finding trouble is only exceeded by his incompetence. Fortunately, his pal and sometime sidekick, Stormy Weathers, is usually available to rescue him from his ill-advised forays into foolish and reckless situations-frequently involving the fairer sex. From Yvette Baguette, the delightfully French gendarme, to Paddy’s nemesis, Nadia Nickoff-the minx from Minsk-Paddy is a lady’s man all the way. Murder and mayhem are all in a day’s work for this Aussie crime fighter. He needs his wits to survive the onslaught of the disreputable rogues and villains who are out to get him. Paddy’s life is one big, unbelievable adventure after another. And now, he’s got a certain lady on a certain train who needs his help-or does she? The world needs someone like Paddy Pest-and if you doubt that, just ask him!

Philip Jones/Worlds of the Crystal Moon: Ascendants of Ancients Sovereign
Phillip E. Jones was born in Raleigh, North Carolina in 1971. At the age of five, he was sent to Colorado to be raised by his Aunt Judy where he spent the majority of his youth in Empire. At the age of 14, Judy took Phillip to Broomfield, CO. This was where he spent the rest of his teen years attending Broomfield High School until he graduated in 1990 and then went on to join the United States Navy and served for five years as an air traffic controller.
Now residing in Las Vegas, NV, Phillip Jones began writing the Worlds of the Crystal Moon series in 2007 after he awoke from a nightmare. His dream was so vivid and such a compelling story that he sat down and wrote the first 80 pages in 36 hours. After selling 40,000 copies in Costco stores in 4 states and other outlets, Phillip joined forces with a team of investors to plan a worldwide release. Phillip has also worked with a number of highly qualified editors over the last year and a half to refine the story into the three book series that was released December 10, 2012.
As Creative Director for the WOTCM, Phillip plans to write three additional novels to complete his portion of the overall expansion of the Worlds of the Crystal Moon. Further, there will be offshoot stories that will be written by other authors who know the history of the WOTCM. These prequels will complement what Phillip has written, and they will make the Worlds of the Crystal Moon a massive, ongoing project. It is Phillip’s desire to see the Worlds of the Crystal Moon grow into a thriving franchise that owns hundreds of novels that are based on the storyline Phillip established. Scifi/Fantasy readers throughout the world will enjoy the Worlds of the Crystal Moon.
Worlds of the Crystal Moon: Ascendants of Ancients Sovereign:
Wars Ignite-Worlds Crumble-Souls Ascend After the conclusion of the Great Destruction of Everything Known, a new reality was created by a group of self-proclaimed gods who united and called themselves the Farendrite Collective. These beings range from prideful seekers of recognition,Bassorine (God of War), to devious manipulators of circumstance like Lasidious(God of Mischief). Amidst the carnage, three humans were spared the devastation that befell earth. Now, they wake to unfamiliar surroundings, Southern Grayhamis their new home, and they must save a world that is about to suffer the same fate as their planet. Sam Goodrich was a world-renowned doctor who fought an inner-demon that lurked within the deepest shadows of his mind. Sam always had to balance his commitment to the Hippocratic Oath against his desire to inflict pain inside the cages of mixed martial arts. Shalee Adamson was an unselfish, beautiful,stubborn, yet witty and loving woman who wanted to save the less fortunate.George Nailer was a self-proclaimed King of Deception whose only love was his daughter Abbie. With the fate of every being who lives on the worlds governed by the Crystal Moon in their hands, these three imperfect souls will be forced to live in service to the gods—a service the gods claim respects free will. With all lines blurred, welcome to the fantasy and chaos that is the Worlds of the Crystal Moon.www.worldsofthecrystalmoon.com
