Meet the Author: Luke Romyn

Author Luke Romyn

Luke Romyn spent many years, over seventeen in fact, working in the security industry. From door work in some of Australia’s roughest pubs and clubs to protecting Mickey Mouse and the Disney crew from the overzealous jaws of tenacious toddlers, Luke has worked throughout Australia and internationally in a vast array of roles.

He’s done close protection for UK celebrities in Fiji and chased feral pigs and snakes out of the jungle film sets on Steven Spielberg’s and Tom Hank’s epic: The Pacific. There are few things Luke hasn’t seen.

With all this experience behind him, it would be tempting to write a set of memoirs. Instead, Luke utilized it to fuel his own expansive imagination and began writing fiction. Initially starting with short stories, Luke rapidly progressed onto novels. His first book, THE DARK PATH, has been a Top 20 Bestselling Horror on Amazon and was also voted in the Top Ten Horror novels of 2009. BLACKLISTED, his second novel, saw his writing divert slightly away into the action-thriller genre while his third, BEYOND HADES, is out on 16th April, 2012.

Meet the Author: Rebecca Hamilton

Author Rebecca Hamilton

Rebecca Hamilton writes Paranormal Fantasy, Horror, and Literary Fiction. She lives in Florida with her husband and three kids, along with multiple writing personalities that range from morbid to literary. She enjoys dancing with her kids to television show theme songs and would love the beach if it weren’t for the sand. Having a child diagnosed with autism has inspired her to illuminate the world through the eyes of characters who see things differently.

Rebecca says her dedication is her greatest strength. “My writing means a lot to me, and I really put time and attention into all aspects of novel-writing.”

She feels she lacks the self-discipline she’d like to have in approaching some tasks.  “There are some stages in the writing process, such as rewriting, where I tend to procrastinate. I love the results of rewriting, and I am by no means married to my original drafts (since they are so horrible anyway!) but the process of rewriting is overwhelming. I know I need to just do it, but sometimes I procrastinate, which makes projects take longer than I would like.” Continue reading “Meet the Author: Rebecca Hamilton”
