Author bio:
Susan Winlaw was born and raised in Southern Ontario, Canada. She went to College Avenue Secondary School and then attended the University of Guelph where she received a BASc in Home Economics/Textiles. After graduation Susan started a long career at Sears Canada Inc. covering a variety of management roles - Textiles Lab Technician, Retail Department Manager, National Management/Buying positions and IT Project Manager. Susan is married to Alex Law and joined him as an automotive journalist in 1993. Susan has provided articles to newspapers and on line publications regarding safety in and around the car. In fall of 2008, they published Car Advice For Women (and Smart Men) to help people with the single biggest purchase in their lives outside of a house and its renovation. All of this meant a lot of away from home with many movies to watch in the air and in hotels. This added to the love of watching and commenting on movies with Alex at home. Susan provides a completely different perspective than Alex in the types of movies enjoyed. Together they cover a broad spectrum of interests. Susan is a member of WEN (Writers and Editors Network), eWomenNetwork, WINGS and other professional and social groups. Susan speaks to women's groups, libraries and schools about safety and security around cars as well as the writing/editing/ publishing experience. And although this is all wonderful, she’d rather be crocheting, sewing and of course watching and talking about movies with friends and family.

Author bio:
As a youth, my main ambition was to find success as a musician. I've been playing the guitar since I was six, and, in my teens and twenties, played in and wrote songs for a number of bands in and around Glasgow, with varying degrees of failure. As I grew older, and every inch lost to my hairline resulted in two being added to my waistline, I came to realise that rock godhood was no longer a viable option, but it has always stuck with me how much I enjoyed the writing process. At the same time as seeking out failure and misery in the music world I have had a couple of other careers. Upon dropping out of university for a record third time (my mother is so proud), I got my first pub job. For five or six years I spent pretty much all of my waking hours pulling, and drinking, pints in several of Glasgow's finest licensed premises. Pub work can be a great life, as long as you don't mind the terrible wages and complete lack of career prospects, but eventually I found myself inexplicably hankering after something a bit more fulfilling. Through a casual acquaintance I was introduced to the world of social care, more specifically that of supporting adults with learning disabilities and/or mental health problems. I spent the next eight years working in this field, starting as a voluntary music tutor and rising to the dizzying heights of senior management with a large voluntary organisation operating in the West of Scotland. Eventually, however, constant battles with social workers about funding, and support staff about the importance of turning up for a shift, started to get to me. Eight years ago I handed in my notice and went back to pulling pints, at least initially. I'd managed, through blatant nepotism (my sister was the manager), to get a job in a posh Glasgow hotel. For the first year or so I happily reacquainted myself with Glasgow's drinking culture, but it didn't take them long to notice I was relatively good with unimportant things like words and numbers, and I found myself charged with thankless tasks such as accounts, payrolls and answering complaint letters. This was not fun, believe me. I soon tired of all that and, in 2006, returned to social care. Nepotism played its part once again, when a former manager called me with a job offer. The hours are awful and the money's rubbish, but apart from that I'm quite enjoying it. Anyway, back to writing. I had a couple of false starts. I wrote some brilliant opening chapters, establishing characters, locations and relationships. The problem was that I could never get past that first chapter. It soon became apparent that plot, of all things, was something of a prerequisite. This threw me for a while. And then I had an idea. What would happen if a failed musician (okay yes, me) became depressed (don't ask) and killed himself, then got famous? That could be a plot. From that initial idea I sketched out a plot revolving around the friends and family of the musician in question, and found I was able to explore a diverse set of themes including social care, music, familial relationships, friendship and mental health issues, hopefully with a decent dose of humour and sensitivity. Will You Love Me Tomorrow is the end result of many subsequent months of toil and frustration, and was selected as the Scottish Region winner of the Undiscovered Authors 2007 competition. The book was published by Discovered Authors in October 2008. Since completing the book I have written a number of short stories, something I hadn't attempted before. I've found this an excellent way to practice and polish my writing, as well as an opportunity to experiment with style, tense, point of view etc. One of my short stories is due for publication in a future edition of Chapman magazine and another has recently been accepted by Bridge House Publishing. Another appears in an anthology produced by the Arts Council funded writers' site YouWriteOn.com, and a fourth is due to appear later this year in Short Fuses, and anthology produced and published by the Bookshed, an online writing and publishing community. I have now completed my second novel, Scratch. It tells the tale of Jim Cooper, a Glaswegian thirty-something office worker who decides to leave his job, sell his flat, pay off his debts and start his adult life again from scratch. Maybe this time he can do it properly and get (or, rather, keep) the girl. The fact that the girl is happily married and lives in another country, and her Bruce Lee obsessed father seems to want to be Jim's new best friend are only the beginning of his troubles. Scratch is an un-sanitised, emotionally honest and hilariously candid story about what it is to grow up as opposed to simply change age, as told by a man who doesn't know what any of those words mean.

Ms. Treyce Montoya, International Forensic Handwriting Expert / Founder of HFT Growing up in the field of Forensic Handwriting Analysis, she was personally trained and certified by Charles Stahl, the founder of the San Francisco School of Graphology (1960’s) in 1986. She opened her company in 1987 and offered personality assessments and training solely in her region. Due to rapid growth and casework flow, she has frequently been featured on many radio and television shows and the written media. In fact, she also helps the writers of the popular CBS show Criminal Minds. She has completed training, casework, and expert testimony for many agencies (see below). Her most memorable cases include warning a woman that her husband could brutally murder her – a year later, he did. Another when she stated a sheriff deputy was extremely dangerous – he later shot his girlfriend in the head at close range. Another when she stated a lead homicide investigator could not be trusted with children – he was later convicted of six counts of child battery. She has also assisted in famous cases such as Michael Jackson, Darlie Routier, and the missing Baby Gabriel. In fact, some television interviews can be seen at www.YouTube.com/user/HandwritingExperts. In 2006 she led the successful Texas Juvenile Probation Commission research project that was aimed at reducing juvenile recidivism rates via the Handwriting Formation Therapy (HFT) program that she created in 1987. The juveniles that were chosen to participate remained 100% anonymous during this six month program and all improved social skills, grades, gained self-confidence and, most importantly, to-date, none have reoffended. In fact, many juvenile departments continue to use this program with equal success. She is the first analyst in history to do develop a program like this. Some of Treyce’s background: along with over 24 years of teaching internationally, she has over 18 years experience as a field supervisor for a national investigative agency, correctional officer, FTO, crisis counselor, case manager, and as a credentialed Clinical Liaison for the Severely Mentally Ill adult population.

She then received her Master’s and Doctorate degrees in Holistic Psychology to best help her clients who refuse traditional options.

Treyce is the President of the Center of Forensic Profiling, National Association of Handwriting & Document Experts (NAHDE), and the International Association of Handwriting Formation Therapists (IAHFT).

Seit über 15 Jahren bin ich als freier Berater und Fachautor in den Bereichen Marketing, Kommunikation und Entertainment tätig und betreibt selbst ein eigenes Internetgeschäft. Ich habe rund 50 Bücher und knapp 1000 Fachartikel in unterschiedlichen Medien veröffentlicht. Wissensvermittlung ist meine Berufung. Als Berater bin ich es gewöhnt, Know-how für andere Menschen in einer verständlichen Form zu präsentieren. Das Schreiben ist meine bevorzugte Ausdrucksform, um mein erlangtes Know-how zu kommunizieren. Elektronische Bücher (eBook) erscheint mir als Plattform bestens geeignet, meine Zielsetzung in die Tat umzusetzen. Schon lange arbeite ich mit diesem Medium, nun wird es Zeit, selbst Inhalte hier zu veröffentlichen. Mein Hauptanliegen ist es, anderen Menschen zu helfen.
