In the Spotlight – Thomas Rydder
It’s always fun when friends stop by to visit and today is no exception. Thomas Rydder is the author of the paranormal novel, The Clearing, and his story collection, Restless Souls: 3 dark fables. He’s fun, generous with his time and has a wicked sense of humor. Thomas is always quick with a word of support and encouragement to his fellow writers. He’s one of the good guys.
About Thomas Rydder
Thomas was born in 1957 in a small town in Western Pennsylvania that had — and still has — one traffic light. There wasn’t a whole lot to do there, so he learned to play quite a bit of make-believe – soldiers, cowboys and Indians, that kind of thing. At the same time, he loved to read and watch old movies.
Since childhood, he loved to create. Thomas played trumpet, sang, even dabbled in genealogy. Nothing quite did it for him. One day his wife suggested that he try writing. He wrote a short story, and everyone liked it. So, he wrote another one. Except it kept growing, and he kept getting more ideas, and it lengthened to 20 thousand words, then 30, then 40. By the time he sat back, he had the rough draft of his first novel, except back then it was called “Werewolves and Flapjacks”. Somewhere along the way he decided to submit his work to publishers. The result was The Clearing.
Read on for more about Thomas and The Clearing.
In the Spotlight – R.M. Clark
Today’s author treat is the truly awesome R.M. Clark. I’ve known R.M. for a couple years now and he’s a talented and engaging writer. He’s also smart, helpful and generous with his time. I thoroughly enjoyed Dizzy Miss Lizzie and I’m so looking forward to reading Center Point! I’ve been hearing some really good things about it.
About R.M. Clark
R.M. Clark is a writer and dedicated civil servant. He has written several middle grade books, including Dizzy Miss Lizzie. He lives in southeastern Massachusetts with his wife, two sons and crazy critters. Center Point is his debut “grown up” novel.

In the Spotlight – Avery Olive
A warm welcome to my friend, Avery Olive, author of the cool, paranormal, Young Adult novel, A Stiff Kiss.
About Avery Olive
Avery Olive doesn’t kiss and tell. Except when it comes to writing about hot supernatural guys. She lives with her husband and son in Red Deer, Alberta, where she spends way too much time reading, writing and avoiding house work.
Currently, she’s the author of A Stiff Kiss, a young adult novel with a morbid twist on a classic fairytale, in reverse, and Won’t Let Go, involving an amnesic ghostboy who just won’t move on.
What she is sure of is that writing will always give her the chance to escape and hopes to release many more novels in the future.

In the Spotlight – Candy Ann Little
Please welcome Candy Ann Little, with her new novel, Murder of an Oil Heiress. Be sure to check out the info on her giveaway!
About Candy Ann Little
Candy Ann Little grew up in a small town in Ohio. She now resides in Michigan with her husband, two adult kids and 4 cats. She began writing in the aftermath of tragedy – her third child was stillborn. The nurse suggested keeping a journal to cope with the grief. Although she thought it a dumb idea at the time, she soon found a freedom and healing that only writing brought.
Eventually that pain and sorrow turned into her first Inspirational romance, Unforgiving Ghosts. Since then she has finished 2 more inspirational romances. Her historical romance The Unwilling Bride was published in 2011. She has also tried writing in the genre of mystery, including a novella, Death By Broken Heart, and her first full length novel, Murder of an Oil Heiress. Candy Ann finds it therapeutic putting her thoughts into the words and action of her characters. She also finds that discipline is the biggest lesson learned in her writing life.
When she isn’t busy writing, you can find her subbing in the public schools, or helping with church activities. Her favorite things to do are reading, cooking, baking and doing crafts.
