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.

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”

Delin Colón is a writer and researcher with an undergraduate background in French and a post-graduate background in Clinical Psychology. She began writing poems and short stories at the age of eight. After working in psychiatric settings, owning a construction company, starting an agency pairing writers with clients, and working as a technical writer for Sociological Abstracts, she spent over a decade researching the claims of her great-great uncle (Rasputin’s secretary) that Rasputin advocated equal rights for oppressed Russian Jews. Her book, Rasputin and The Jews: A Reversal of History is the result of her research. While nearly every book on Rasputin mentions his advocacy for the Jews, whether with admiration or derision, hers is the first to specify and substantiate those claims as the reason he was demonized by the Russian aristocracy.

Meet the Author: Rachel Rossano

Author Rachel Rossano

Rachel Rossano is an an avid reader and lover of books, as well as an an author of clean romantic fiction.  She usually writes fantasy novels that masquerade as historical, but she recently expanded into the science fiction genre.

She says her greatest writing strength is in her ability to write palpably real characters and relationships. “People intrigue me. Their decisions, interactions, and stories fascinate me. Running errands, I listen to the people around me and glean character and story ideas for later.”

The area she finds most challenging is plotting character conflict.  “I tend to avoid conflict in my daily life. It takes work to force it into my plots, but without it, my books would be boring reads.” Continue reading “Meet the Author: Rachel Rossano”
