Over forty years ago, I embarked on an incredible journey: digging up the roots of my family tree. It whisked me away to such remote places of the world as the quaint hamlet of Porlock on the southwest coast of England, where I found myself among pirates and smugglers. It dragged me through the bloody…
Chase your dreams, they often say. How many truly get a chance to do so? In a world that is dog-eat-dog and whatnot, chasing dreams is something meaningless and devoid of context. It is an empty platitude and nothing more. Something strange happened in my case. The stars aligned and a very special woman made…
My father stood by his story that I was named after a 1940’s stripper until his death. I never had the heart to tell him that his claim did not hold up to an internet search. I learned Toni Seven was a starlet, but clearly, his version is so much better than the truth. I’m…
Hello, friends, let me tell you about myself, why I write, and why you might want to read my books. My name is Elisabeth Zguta. I grew up in a small town in Berkshire County, Massachusetts. Since then I’ve lived in many places; currently, I live in the Memphis area. I am an Indie author…
Two quotes by Hunter S. Thompson sum up my youth and my writing: “Truth is weirder than any fiction I’ve seen” and “It never got weird enough for me.” I was fascinated with people, but I quickly grew bored with ordinary life.

I am going to share with you the reason behind my first novel and subsequent books as well as the important part that music always plays whenever I start writing a novel. Back in 1992, I was 19 years old and still grieving for my first love who had destroyed my life two years before.…
I’ve always been an avid reader. About ten years ago, I decided to write my first book. I grew up on Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes, but the supernatural called to me and enticed me. I wanted to write a book with all the sarcasm and wit of the TV show, Supernatural, the mystery of…
I am an indie author, a dedicated pool player, a gourmet cook, and an e-book cover artist. If you think about it, all of these things require passion if you want to be good at them. Wow! I just surprised myself. I never thought of myself as being passionate, but clearly, I am. I would…
I am a self-published fantasy author with four novels under my belt. With a writing style that varies from quirky fun to darkly serious to the occasionally naughty, I strive to spin a quality yarn that is enjoyable and engaging. The written word is delightful; crafting imaginative tales is what I love most. My dreams…
I’ve always been an imaginative person. I loved every minute of being a Star Wars kid, but when the movie ended, that was just the beginning for me. Hours would be spent pretending to be Luke Skywalker. It didn’t matter if I had friends around or not, my imaginary lightsaber was real enough to me,…
