Supporting Authors One Read at a Time – January 2012

Today I am promoting the two authors who are featured in the first month of 2012 in our authors’s network magazine: Wonderful Read of the Month. Please check out their author bio below, then pop over to read their full interviews and browse articles, short stories and a great selection of books by fabulous authors.

Madeline Sloane is a writer with more than a dozen published books, including several contemporary romance novels. You can find “Distracted,” “East of Eaton,” “West Wind” on Amazon.com, as well as “Women of Eaton Trilogy,” which contains all three in one convenient book.

Author Madeline Sloane

Madeline lives in the highlands of Northcentral Pennsylvania, in a wooded area along a peaceful river, with her husband. She is a full-time writer and part-time college instructor.

She and her husband enjoy traveling to the U.K. and Europe, and spend much of their time abroad in ruins, castles, cathedrals and museums. She particularly enjoys crypts with mummies, musty libraries and authentic pubs. In the U.S., they bounce along the East Coast, traveling from New York to Florida to visit family and friends.

Madeline’s books include elements of her passions: travel, boating, history and archaeology. The characters are generally from idyllic Eaton, a fictitious town in Pennsylvania she has invented, although most of her books also feature exciting and exotic cities the heroines (and their lovers) visit during the course of their romantic journey.

She invites you to travel with the women and men of Eaton as they explore the world, and themselves, in the Eaton Romance Series. Look for a new trilogy in 2012: Secrets of Eaton, containing the books “Consequence,” “Incandescent” and “Dead Line.”

“Supporting Authors One Read At A Time”

Matthew Wood is a bit of a creative soul – ask anyone who knows the two dozen nicknames he has for his daughter. Dreaming of a day when he could shed his average day job in favor of the writer’s life, Matthew embarked upon a personal quest to hone the craft and write that great bestseller. With his family, pet alien Andy and Ralph the Gnome by is side – not to mention the piles of eco-unfriendly paper notes – he dreams up stories by day, night and everywhere in between.

      Thanks for your kind words, Eden. I’m slowly but surely getting better with the technicalities of managing a blog – still a long way to go but I am trying :)
