Author bio:
Harry H. Hawkins, III was born in Washington D.C. in January of 1979 where he lived until he was four years old. He always had an active imagination and a love for science fiction and fantasy. As a testament to that fact Harry created his first unique character when he was in the sixth grade. Over the next few years Harry continued to draw new characters, a skill that his father helped him develop, fueling his passion for creation. When he was fifteen, Harry made a drawing that would alter his life; he drew all of his current characters in one setting engaged in combat. Later that night he made a story to explain why the interactions between the characters were taking place and the significance of those relationships. Thus was the start of the 2 Kingdoms Saga. For the next few years through high school Harry continued to draw and create new characters. While attending Emory University, he had an epiphany: he loved to write and he had created just over two hundred unique characters all with names and a part to play in his story that now stretched three generations. It was at this time that he decided to share the world of the Anakim with the world. Debating over what media to use to tell the story, Harry finally decided on writing a book. He realized during his time in college that he could write better than he could draw and so set down with pen and paper and started his first draft. Many years later Harry has completed numerous written works and currently resides in the Metro Atlanta area with his children Harry J. and Kaye and continues to write adding to the 2 Kingdoms Universe.

20 Diet Myths - Busted. A Manifesto to change how you think about dieting. by Zoe Harcombe 20 Diet Myths - Busted. A Manifesto to change how you think about dieting. by Zoe Harcombe Aug. 12, 2011 10464 words Read a sample
Author bio:
Zoë’s passion is her vocation. Zoë spends her time researching and writing about obesity, diets and weight loss and she works exclusively in this field. She is author of the best selling book "Stop Counting Calories and Start Losing Weight", which was the follow-up to "Why do you overeat? When all you want is to be slim". The result of 20 years’ research into the causes of overeating, Zoë’s books go against traditional diet advice and are the first to address the three fundamental medical conditions that cause food cravings and therefore the compulsion to overeat. This understanding has helped tens of thousands of people lose weight quickly, easily and healthily through The Harcombe Diet approach. Zoë was the first person from her state school to graduate from Cambridge University. The paradox of escalating obesity and overwhelming desire to be slim has been a constant fascination to her and she set out to try to understand the obesity epidemic in the late 1980's, when UK obesity rates had just hit double figures. By the end of the millennium, UK obesity rates were 22.6% and 25.8% for men and women respectively and have worsened further since. By studying nutrition and, more importantly, by questioning every principle taught in nutrition and public health dietary advice, Zoë has found virtually every 'fact' to be anything but. From misapplying thermodynamics to five-a-day having no evidence base; from 1lb not equalling 3,500 calories to our eat less/do more advice being fundamentally flawed, very little has stood up to scrutiny. Zoë's most hardback book "The Obesity Epidemic: What caused it? How can we stop it?" is the presentation of what we have got wrong and the evidence for what would be right.

Author bio:
Blake grew up just south of Las Cruces, New Mexico, where he spent his spare time in his World War Two surplus jeep exploring the desert. Sometimes he just sat and listened to old timers tales of Geronimo, Pancho Villa, and Billy the Kid. Today he weaves his love and respect for the desert along with bits of what he’s heard and seen into his stories. A licensed Professional Engineer in the State of California with Masters Degrees in Energy Conversion and Urban Planning as well as experience as a college math instructor, Blake includes a dash of science and technology in his writing. Although it’s considered a sin, he may cause a non-science type to consult a dictionary from time to time. He says, “Reading my stories should be fun, and part of the fun is learning new things.” For some they’re new and for others they’re old, but Blake includes a list of interesting topics in his writing. From ancient aliens to the Kaballah he tends to come at it from a new angle. He is currently writing the science fiction series, The Shaman Gene, which gives a view of the world that is much different from what we have been taught to believe. Blake says, “Most sci-fi writers create alternative worlds—I take our world and twist.” An anthology, "2012: ETA", has been released for free at Smashwords, and for a small fee at Amazon. We plan to release the first novel, "A Far Traveler", this year in commemoration of 2012, so to speak. Two more novels in the series—Panther Watches and Seekers of the Scroll are in draft. Blake is interested in feedback on the format of "2012: ETA", an essay or two followed by the related sci-fi story. You can read more and comment at Blake’s website: www.shamangene.com/BLOG Blake is also a member of California Writers Cluband the Indie Author News.
2012 Astrology Predictions - The Year of Change and Transformation by Veres Zoltan 2012 Astrology Predictions - The Year of Change and Transformation by Veres Zoltan Jan. 03, 2012 4316 words Read a sample
Author bio:
My name is Veres Zoltan, I was born on may 9th 1977, in Targu Mures, Romania, at 17:30, or 5:30 PM (GMT+2), in the case that you would like to analyze my birth chart. I am a licensed economist and computer specialist, but my passion was always astrology, at first as a hobby, but afterwards a lot of people started to ask for my services, transforming my hobby into a profession. From the first moment I got in contact with it, astrology meant a profound and efficient way to get to know people, to me, to discover what is happening inside them, inside their relationships, inside the lives they have created. I understood the fact that we are not honest with ourselves, especially with our dark side, and that, very often, we need someone from the outside to come and put a mirror in front of us. This way we have the chance to discover ourselves as we really are, with all the potential and limitations we have at a certain moment, this way we can learn to undress ourselves of our masks and to shine in all our splendor and learn to bring all the good and the beauty we were meant to manifest in this world. I started to be more and more interested in this science of the soul, which gives me the possibility, to put a mirror in front of those who want to discover themselves, day by day. I graduated the courses of the “Helios” Astrological Research and Applications Center, courses sustained by Bartha Zoltan, and have been an astrological consultant and lector for the past 6 years. In between, to develop my counseling abilities and to understand human psychic and personality, I completed my studies with courses and seminars in Neuro-Lingvistical Programming. In the present, I'm studying and teaching astrology within the “Helios” Astrological Research and Applications Center team from Cluj Napoca (Romania), by teaching in several cities in the country, and also sustain private astrological counseling sessions for those that request it.

If you prefer heroines who understand the vagaries of forest life, who recognize the cry of the loon and other forest creatures, and who can catch a fish dinner from a cold, sky-blue lake, clean it, and cook it on the shore... and if you like the deliciously creepy feel of gothic romances... then Florence Witkop's stories are for you. Because that's where she lives and writes love stories that merge the feel of the wilderness with that of a gothic novel. Her fiction can be, and is, located anywhere in the world... and beyond, in the case of her science fiction and fantasy stories... but her heros and heroines mostly lurk in that part of the world that she knows and loves... the north woods of Minnesota.

It only takes a few minutes of thought before Peter Brandt can devise a scenario that would make a fantastic story, and minutes after that before it begins to fill itself in. “I have been able to think up stories all my life but it’s only been in the last seven years that I realized I was abusing my creative side by not writing them down.” Peter retired from the Air Force and began a new career as a Technical Writer. His writing abilities have allowed him to work in Canada, the United States and even in the Middle East. However, its Peter’s love for stories that has brought him into a new realm of writing. His humorous memoir about his life as a soldier in the Canadian Armed Forces and the tragic memoir about his father’s life in a Prisoner-of-War camp at the age of 14 allowed him to refine his writing before he began to venture in writing Young Adult fiction. “I have a very unique way of creating my stories. It begins with a craving, like a smoker who just recently quit cigarettes but still feels an overwhelming craving for a smoke. When that comes, I can’t shake it until I sit down and begin to let my mind wander. Many times I start my quest for a new story by wondering - What If. Soon after I begin to write and can usually get the first draft completed within a few weeks. Maple Express began as a “what if” question that involved a common held belief of the medical community and I’d share it with you but it would give away the storyline.” Peter has taken formal lessons in acting, "I've enjoyed some success as an actor in television and film before my day job as a Lead Technical Writer required me to move out of the country I always write my stories as I see them on the movie screen, which is why writing screenplays are also something I do with ease. I have written a couple of screenplays and shot them as short films with a friend of mine. I can honestly say I have landed in the perfect job for me. I love to write...doesn’t really matter what I write, creatively or technically, writing is a pleasurable experience. It has allowed me to travel and for that I am grateful.”

Author bio:
From the "ABOUT JOHN GEESMAN" page at www.greenenergywar.com: Ten Time-Weighted Footprints in the Soft Sand of My Public Psyche: 1) 19 years (from 1983 to 2002) as an investment banker in the American bond markets, an unavoidably conservatizing experience regarding financial matters. Rule of law, sanctity of contract, ability and willingness to pay debt service as scheduled — these are the underpinnings of civilization, in my view. 2) 18 years (from 1951 to 1969) growing up in Lakewood, California, one of the original blue collar insta-suburbs built after World War II on the Levittown assembly line model. Civic equality was presumed with every fourth house a carbon copy. 3) 11 years (from 1978 to 1983 and from 2002 to 2008) of government service at the California Energy Commission, most recently as a Commissioner and earlier as Executive Director. Both experiences centered on the efficiency/renewables recipe which has become California’s signature energy policy cuisine. 4) 8 years (from 1990 to 1998) on the Board of Directors, including 6 (from 1992 to 1998) as President, of TURN (The Utility Reform Network), California’s largest and most vociferous ratepayer advocacy organization. 5) 5 years (from 1997 to 2002) on the Board of Governors, including 4 (from 1998 to 2002) as Chairman, of the California Power Exchange, the first domino to fall in the electricity “deregulation” fiasco. Flawed design, institutional inertia, nonexistent police presence, and ham handed political response — the marketplace equivalent of Hurricane Katrina. 6) 5 years (from 1973 to 1978) as a political activist, including work on the campaign staffs of successful candidates for Mayor of Los Angeles and Mayor of San Francisco and unsuccessful candidates for President and State Senate; co-authorship of a book on the sorry performance of the state Consumer Affairs department; lobbying on behalf of the Nader-inspired California Citizen Action Group; and helping to found one of the first solar water heating businesses. 7) 4 years (from 1969 to 1973) at Yale when it was described — by the snarkily envious Harvard Crimson — as “the bell-bottoms in the Ivy League family”, originally planning to be a journalist and finding a degree of encouragement as a Managing Editor of the Yale Daily News and stringer for the New York Times, only to succumb to the virulent disease of applying to law school instead. 8) 3 years (from 1973 to 1976) of alienation at the UC Berkeley Boalt Hall School of Law, immaturely put off by the trade-school-for-shysters aspects (e.g., assigned reading razor-bladed from library books) and prone to the diversions described in #6 above. 9) 3 years (from 1999 to 2002) as Chairman of the California Managed Risk Medical Insurance Board, growing enrollment in the State Children Health Insurance Program from 50,000 to 632,000 and creating real benefit for real people. 10) 2 years (from 2006 to present) as Co-Chair of the Board of Directors of the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE), carrying a California torch to light (zero emission) bonfires across the planet. February 9, 2008, Sacramento, California
