  • Blood Thrasher

    I wanted to share this video with you. It is from when I first received the proof copy of my first published book Blood Thrasher in 2018. I have learned a lot since then and I still look back at that moment when a dream became reality.

  • Sean Taylor

    By Adam Messer “I dream for the days of Vonnegut and Bradbury, where writers could write what they wanted instead getting pigeon-holed into epics and series and marketing-based genres that were layered in six feet of bricks.” – Sean Taylor.

  • Writing is the heart

    We recently interviewed Kim Marie Farris. She posted this cool video on her TikTok. You can also read her behind the scenes look at her story Mr. V .

  • Brian K. Lowe

    “My books are meant to be fun, a couple of hours to lose yourself in a different life, maybe a completely different world. If you finish a book of mine and say, “That was fun!” then I’ve done a good job.” – Brian K. Lowe.

  • Reading Rainbow

    I grew up loving Reading Rainbow. This was the shirt I received by backing their crowdfunding campaign.

  • Dustin Mills

    By Adam Messer “I think I always knew I wanted to tell stories in some fashion. I can’t pinpoint exactly when, but as far as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to entertain people. It’s a noble endeavor, I think, to distract folks from their own mortality for a few minutes, hours, or days.” –…

  • Jonathan W. Sweet

    “A good character has to be well-rounded, self-aware. There have to be flaws. Nothing’s more boring than a character who is perfect.” – Jonathan W. Sweet.

  • John A. Tures

    By Adam Messer “John F. Kennedy said something like “One person can make a difference, and everyone must try.” But it doesn’t mean there’s only one good person out there. A lot of “one persons” can work together to overcome a lot of challenges and problems today.” – John A. Tures.

  • Susan Nefzger

    “The most important thing we can do is help each other live our best lives. How we do that on an individual basis is related to sharing our gift” – Susan Nefzger.

  • Dreaming ideas

    The other day I woke up, as I often do having had a dream I wanted to scribble a note about. This was the note.

  • Duane Laflin

    By Adam Messer “There is no single or proper way to write. So-called experts disagree on just about everything… and extremely successful writers may use vastly different techniques… so don’t be discouraged by critics and do the best job you can.” – Duane Laflin. Duane Laflin is a world traveling magician who writes adventure novels…

  • Gwendolyn Nadean Mathews

    By Adam Messer “Leadership is not always easy, and it is certainly not always comfortable. Challenges, conflict, and difficult decisions are part of the role. However, effective leaders equip themselves to face those challenges directly rather than avoiding them.” – Gwendolyn Nadean Mathews. Gwendolyn Nadean Mathews underscores the meaning of leadership in her new book…

  • Andrew Salmon

    By Adam Messer “One thing I learned from classic pulp fiction is plot-driven is my bread and butter. Sure, the past masters could slip a little characterization in there but it happened during a car chase or gunfight. Keep the story moving. Always!” – Andrew Salmon. Andrew Salmon is a sleuth and pulp fiction writer…

  • Mail call!

    Mail call- Hawk of New York written by Bobby Nash! How cool is that? Bobby also drew this cool Transformers Autobot Ratchet I’m adding to my collection! I’m a big TF fan.

  • Mr. V by Kim Marie Farris

    By Kim Marie Farris How did I come up with the idea of “Mr. V.”, you ask?

  • Marissa McFarland

    By Adam Messer “When Goodbyes Begin, which is launching into the literary world March 24, 2026, is a family saga. Loosely based on my own family’s story, I started writing it as therapy when my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Honestly, I didn’t expect it to become the real life book that it is today.”…

  • Ravenwood sketch

    Hello! I have a Ravenwood short story coming out soon with Airship 27. This is a sketch I drew and inked from one of the scenes in the story. Although it wont be included in the anthology, I had a lot of fun with this sketch.

  • Chasity S. Gallahar

    By Adam Messer “To me a good character hits several emotional points. This means they could make you feel happy in one scene, emotional in another, then slightly disappointed, and even hopeful and forgiving.” – Chasity S. Gallahar. Authors Chasity S. Gallahar & Monica Tookes are a writing team who collaborated on their book.
