Author Interview with Martin Hill

Hi, Martin, first of all, could you tell us a bit about yourself.

I’m the author of two Indie books – “Duty” a collection of mystery and suspense short stories, and my latest, “The Killing Depths,” a military mystery thriller. I’ve been writing for most of my life. In fact, I was a journalist for many years before switching careers ten years ago and going to work for the Navy as an analyst in combat medical capabilities. Besides fiction, I still write nonfiction, mostly on military history and things like wilderness survival and disaster response, for magazines and a website. When I’m not working or writing, I spend time with my wife and son, and spoil our two cats silly.

The Fifth Estate - Movie Review

Another month with discussion about the NSA, the perfect time to release a movie about leaking confidential information of governments and terrorist groups to declare the truth. The movie is quite a bit Anti-USA, like it was the case with Edward Snowden. It's no surprise that the movies failed to gain a standing with US audience. Most people have heard about Wilileaks and the biggest scoops they did in the history of mankind, but do you know what happened behind the scenes? This movie will tell you about it in a dramatic way in the viewpoint of one of its members.

Author Interview with Tom Abrahams

Hi Tom, first of all, could you tell us a bit about yourself?

By day, I'm a television anchor and reporter. I've been in the business for 20 years and love it. It's taken me all over the world and given me a front row seat to history. I cover a lot of issues oriented stories, including the environment, energy, education, the economy...a lot of politics. When I am not at work, I am home with my awesome wife and two great kids. They're very supportive of my work.  And they've been great at helping me carve out time to write.

Author Interview with Helen Howell

Hi Helen, first of all, could you tell us a bit about yourself?

I live in Australia but am originally from England. I've been writing for just over four years and I write in several different genres which include fantasy, noir, horror and humour. Before I took up writing I use to paint watercolours which I exhibited at various art shows for over 18 years. When I gave that up, writing seemed to be the natural extension. Writing is really like painting pictures with words. Since I started writing I have had my work published in both e-zines and printed publications. Also some of my stories have been showcased on various blog Fests.

Author Interview with Alex Shaw

Hi Alex, first of all, could you tell us a bit about yourself.

I’ve been a full time stay at home dad during the day and an author at night for the past four years. In that time I’ve published two novels, two novellas, a short story and a stage-play.  I won’t go on about myself but if anyone is interested my biography is in each of my books.

What do you think makes your genre special?

The genre of thriller is the one that I most like to write in, specifically military & espionage thriller. I was inspired by all the SAS books that became popular after the first Gulf War. My Aidan Snow ‘Hetman’ series of thrillers follows the adventures of a former member of the SAS now working as a black operative for MI6 (or SIS to give it its correct title).
