Ep 143Echoes of Ghostwood JV Hilliard
ABOUT J. V. HILLIARD Born of steel, fire and black wind, J.V. Hilliard was raised as a highlander in the foothills of a once-great mountain chain on the confluence of the three mighty rivers that forged his realm's wealth and power for generations. His father, a peasant twerg, toiled away in industries of honest labor and instilled in him a work ethic that would shape his destiny. His mother, a local healer, cared for his elders and his warrior uncle, who helped to raise him during his formative years. His genius brother, whose wizardly prowess allowed him to master the art of the abacus and his own quill, trained with him for battles on fields of green and sheets of ice. Hilliard's earliest education took place in his warrior uncle's tower, where he learned his first words. HIs uncle helped him to learn the basics of life—and, most importantly, creative writing. Hilliard's training and education readied him to lift a quill that would scribe the tale of the realm of Warminster, filled with brave knights, harrowing adventure and legendary struggles. He lives in the city of silver cups, hypocycloids and golden triangles with his wife, a ranger of the diamond. They built their castle not far into the countryside, guarded by his own two horsehounds, Thor and MacLeod, and resides there to this day. Website http://www.jvhilliard.com

Website: http://authorbethanylouglinfrost.com/ Book Bio: Madalyn Bane was just that. A bane to everyone’s existence. At least that’s what her boss and co-workers always whisper behind her back. She can’t help that she is the top chemist at the Green Dragon Pottery Studio. One wouldn’t think a pottery making company would need a chemist, but this one does. She’s tasked with creating the perfect formula for making quicker hardening clay. So what if she blows up the lab every other week? And then there was Ravenel Diabhal… the sexy kiln keeper that loves to terrify her with his collection of bugs. He is sexy, muscular, and a pain in her ass. She can’t stand him. Doesn’t want to be near him. At least, that’s what they let everyone think. What’s done in the kiln room, stays in the kiln room. When a bunch of stuff around the factory starts exploding, Madalyn and Ravenel will be faced with feelings they both have been putting off for a long time. They’ll need to work together to find out who is trying to sabotage the company… or maybe, destroy one of them. https://a.co/d/2do57KE

Once settled back in Queens, she dabbled in journalism before working as an Editorial Assistant for a medical publisher.

Pharmacy to Fiction. Award-winning writing as a second career. "Strong Women Rock" is Fisher's life mission statement. When Fisher's mother realized she was pregnant, she instilled the need in her unborn child to be a strong independent woman. The lesson hit its target. S. Lee Fisher, aka Dr. "P.," a clinical pharmacist, was born and raised in small-town Pennsylvania. She made her 'strong woman' debut in her mid-twenties when she became the first woman in her county to pay a man support. After moving to Pittsburgh, she enjoyed a successful corporate career managing retrospective clinical programs for the PBM side of a Fortune 20 company. Fisher began writing fiction to channel the pain and grief of her father's passing. In the process, she discovered that she enjoys the creativity of telling stories, mainly when a strong woman controls the shots. Now a full-time novelist, Fisher lives on Florida's gulf coast with her husband of 38 years, Ralph. She enjoys painting watercolors, ballroom dancing, and swimming when she's not writing or dodging hurricanes.
