This week’s featured authors are:
Kendrai Meeks
Firstly and foremost, I detest sarcasm. I became a published author in 2011, and put out nine books in romance and science fiction. In 2017, I decided to return to my first loves, science fiction and fantasy. I've been a featured speaker on a number of conference and industry panels on topics ranging from Fanfiction, to Audiobooks, to Serialized Fiction. I'm a world music devotee and I love to travel (just hate to fly – a conflict, for certain). I enjoy twisting the extant into the exceptional, often basing works on historical themes or legendary folk tales and mythology.
I'm currently based in the Kansas City area, though I travel just as frequently as I can.
I think "BLOG" is the worst of all four-lettered words, but I occasionally have been known to do it. If you'd like to see my random musings, find my page on Medium.
Jessica Ann Disciacca
I am a passionate and dedicated writer who loves to incorporate historical facts into a world of fantasy and fiction. I began my writing journey when I was 16 years old. After attending college and starting a family, I felt as if something was missing in my life. I picked up my laptop and began to write.
Nothing in this world gives me more satisfaction than writing. I have never felt more of a sense of peace and accomplishment than when I finish a book I am proud of.
