Steve LeBel - Michigander Extraordinaire

Hi ya'll,It's our pleasure to introduce you to Author Steve LeBel. The awards that Steve's book have won speak for themselves. Take a moment to get acquainted:

Businessmen are serious people, right?  Not always. Steve LeBel — hospital president, technology entrepreneur, algorithmic stock trader — is definitely not serious.
Not when he writes.
Whimsy overcomes him at the word processor. And whimsy is at the core of his novel, The Universe Builders, which he tells with a unique balance of seriousness, humor, and imagination.
LeBel lives in Muskegon, Michigan with his wife Marge, and Mindy and Dexter, their cats.  When not writing, he is planning his next trip, cussing out the stock market, doing tech support for friends, or dreaming up new plots for The Universe Builders.

Strong Female Characters

The O'Rourke Series employs the use of strong female lead characters. Siobhan and Rachel are persistent and consistent with detective skills, marksmanship and bravery. They face everything head on and they don't stop until justice is served.
Here's what Readers' Favorite Reviewer Jack Magnus has to say in our Clone Drones review:

"Siobhan is the consummate example of grace under fire as she calmly and logically assesses her condition and works to free herself. Clone Drones also exposes the inherent risks of drone technology as an effective assassination tool. There's a lot going on in this story so readers must follow carefully lest they miss something. Clone Drones has a bit of something for anyone who enjoys high-octane thrillers with non-stop action and surprises, and it delivers. Clone Drones is recommended."

CHIARI WARRIORS -- Chiari Malformation Awareness

This is an anthology of short stories by 18 authors from across the globe - the UK, the USA, Canada, and Europe - The tales they tell are both non fiction and fiction. Many are based on real life experiences. Others are based on vision and a wondrous source of imagination that these very special authors bring to their readers. Some of the stories they tell will make you cry, others will make you laugh. But some of their writing will actually terrify you when you realise that some of the accounts they recall are actually true stories from real events in their lives. Indeed, there's something for everyone here: tales of love and war, of honour and disobedience, of hate and humour, of desire and desperation. They have produced a roller coaster of emotion on their journey to complete this anthology. It's a book to savour and enjoy, page by page. Above all, this anthology contains the true story of a young boy who suffers from Chiari Malformation - a condition for which there is currently no known cure. The work itemises the condition and the problems associated with this horrible human condition. Written by the self-styled Chiari Warriors, the book seeks to raise funds for health practitioners and research analysts. Accordingly, proceeds from the sale of this work will be donated to the Birmingham Children's Hospital Research Unit (a registered charity in the UK) in order to fund dedicated research into this life-threatening condition. The results of this research are shared across the globe between UK institutions, the Chiari Institute in New York, and elsewhere. If you do nothing else today, download this one to savour whilst doing something worthwhile for the children of the future.Chiari Warriors on Amazon

Say Aloha to Author Roy Huff

Let's give a warm welcome to author Roy Huff. Roy makes Honolulu, Hawaii his home.




"Roy Huff is a research scientist, author, and teacher who overcame the
hardship of a family plagued by severe poverty and mental illness. After graduating high school as Valedictorian a year early, he moved to Hawaii at the age of seventeen with only $100 in his pocket to start a new life.

He has since earned five degrees in four different disciplines spanning
liberal arts, history, education, and geoscience. He has worked on
projects such as forecasting volcanic emissions from the Kilauea Volcano
and training on geostationary satellites for NASA's GOES-R Proving Ground.
He has co-authored upcoming peer-reviewed research in the Bulletin of the
American Meteorological Society (BAMS), but his foray into creative
writing did not occur until the age of thirty-four when he began writing a
creative paper for an English class while working concurrently on his
fourth and fifth degrees. That paper later became the first chapter of his
first book, which grew to be an Amazon number-one international
epic-fantasy bestseller. Subsequent books in the Everville series have
also gone on to become bestsellers and continue to win awards for both
cover art design and content.

It was the success of his Everville series that garnered the attention and
management of the "Literary Lion", Peter Miller, who has represented such
greats as National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize nominee, Ann Pearlman,
the niece of renowned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Dr. Alveda King, and
collaborated with iconic film stars such as two-time Oscar winner Tom
Hanks.

Roy Huff remains an optimist. He enjoyed weathering the eye of Hurricane
Hugo at the age of twelve, skydiving, and marathon running but still
dreams of climbing Mt. Everest, circumnavigating the globe, traveling into
space, and discovering the secrets of the universe. His interests are
eclectic and range from the arts, extreme sports, economics, hard science,
movies, traveling, and the outdoors. Roy Huff remains committed to
promoting education, applied science, individuality, and creativity. He
grew up on the East Coast, but has lived in Hawaii for more than half his
life where he currently resides and creates new worlds with the stroke of
his pen."

Roy was recently the Featured Author on our BROWSE for BOOKS page. You can still find his book EVERVILLE: The Fall of Brackenbone there along with his Amazon link.
