Scott Johni

Scott Johni is a seasoned trial attorney and legal thriller author who turns real courtroom battles into edge-of-your-seat fiction. With over three decades in the trenches of the American justice system, Johni writes from experience—where one bad ruling, one buried piece of evidence, or one corrupt player can change everything.

His debut series, The Nick Justin Chronicles, blends explosive courtroom drama with dark criminal intrigue, set in the sun-drenched shadows of Tampa–St. Petersburg, Florida. At the center is Nick Justin—a tough, principled attorney navigating a justice system rife with power plays, coverups, and betrayal.

Gary Paul Stephenson

Gary has always had a love of the environment learning how to grow plants and vegetables organically from a very young age under the tutelage of his father's gardener. Being bought up around family dogs and his own pet Dutch rabbit engendered an ongoing love of animals. The turbulent British political scene during the 1980's saw his interest rise in politics. During these early years, he started to write his first novel and many poems. Pressures of work, a growing family and increased worldwide travel for international companies saw his writing put aside, time at home spent with family and long country walks with wife and Border collie.
A holiday to see the land of his father led the family to take up permanent residence in New Zealand.

Bethany Camille James

My name is Poetess Bethany Camille James and I grew up in the suburbs of Denver, Colorado in a family of six including me. However, I was born in Clearwater, Florida. Life was bittersweet. The geography inspired me, yet I felt as I was growing up different, and I seem to stand out like the vast Rocky Mountains.

As I got older I would find my connection to the world through reciting poetry, and extracurricular activities in school and the community. It was demanding being active in my church choir, school debate team, and working just to name a few things. To be involve demanded me to interact with a lot of people, but I never fit in. I learned through my experiences that you have to love yourself. Not loving yourself allows one’s unique cre

Heather Sharp

As a young girl, Heather aspired to carry on her family's legacy and become a professional cowgirl.

Heather earned a rodeo scholarship, but during career exploration day, ‘Horse Trainer’ or ‘Rodeo Star’ was not an option. A teacher encouraged her to become a pilot. Having competed against men all her life, Heather felt undeterred and disregarded the fact that only 1% of airline pilots were female. So at 17, she traded her lariat for a cockpit.

She spent the next decade flying freight and commuter routes, reminding herself, "Cowgirls don’t cry." Dust yourself off and get back on that horse.”

An economic downturn led to a hiring freeze at major airlines. Remarkably, just four days before reaching the age limit, the Air National Guard selected

Leanne Antaya

Leanne Antaya is an award-winning author whose powerful debut memoir, Changing Eyes, has earned both the Literary Titan Book Award and the Pencraft Book Award for its unflinching honesty and emotional depth.
Her journey began not with recognition, but with heartbreak. When her son, Trey, was pulled into the grip of addiction, Leanne was thrust into a battle she never expected to fight. What followed was a story of anguish and resilience, of a mother’s unwavering love tested in the darkest of times.
Out of that storm came Changing Eyes, a raw, deeply moving memoir that shines a light on the realities of addiction while offering hope, strength, and solidarity to families walking the same path. More than just a book, it is a lifeline, a testamen

Alan Crawford

Retired, with plenty of time on his hands and a healthy dose of grumpiness. The collection leans into sarcasm, cynicism, and a twisted take on the world. Inspired by the likes of Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams.

Several curious people, really it’s just one, asked me how or where the ideas came from. Thankfully, there’s no clear answer. When the trousers, mind, or weather conditions suit such things, the computer opens, a page appears, and it starts to flow. Wondrously weird, odd, and strange things abound.

The Stories to Tell Collection now has four ebooks.
