Barbara Mack has been fascinated by words and writing since early childhood. The first story she put into print format was about the birds who came to nest in the gardening shed; it reviewed well with critics (the neighbors, her mother and father, grandparents, etc.) She then had a poem – Love Never Dies – published in an international magazine at age 11, and she’s never looked back.

She currently has several historical romance novels available and when she’s not writing furiously, you can find her in the kitchen. Her cookbook Easy, Fabulous Bread Making: A collection of quick, no-knead bread recipes is consistently in the top 50 Amazon books on bread making. The well-reviewed Chasing the Sunset spent 14 weeks in the top 5 historical romances from Amazon.

Hello Everyone!

My name is Tom Harris and I write under the name of T.R. Harris. Check out my blog at: bytrharris.com.

I currently have a best-selling science fiction series available entitled The Human Chronicles Saga, with five books in Part One and three books in Part Two. I have also begun another light-hearted series called Jason King: Agent to the Stars, with book one–The Enclaves of Sylox–now available.

With regards to The Human Chronicles, the books in Part One include: The Fringe Worlds, Alien Assassin, The War of Pawns, The Tactics of Revenge and The Legend of Earth.

Part Two of the series includes Cain’s Crusaders, The Apex Predator and the latest and final book in Part Two of the series: A Galaxy to Conquer, which was released on April 19, 2014.

The adventures of Adam Cain WILL continue, with the next book due out for Christmas 2014. Check out my website/blog for updates as they become available at bytrharris.com.

The inspiration for The Human Chronicles series came from an ad for a T-shirt in the old Soldier of Fortune Magazine. It was of a muscle-bound man, holding a smoking gun and standing over a dead dragon-looking thing. The caption read: “I don’t know what it was — but it’s dead!”

This really struck me, the concept of humans not being afraid of anything, and when faced with a challenge as big as the universe, we can overcome any threat with a swagger and a wink! Just think, on the planet Earth we’re the badasses. Why would it be any different in outer space?

The series also introduces the reader to my concept of what a realistic galactic empire would look like — The Juirean Expansion — and how every advanced race shares the same wants, needs and desires as other intelligent beings. It’s not complicated. When you reach a certain level of evolution we all become more or less the same in our motivations.

The books are also written from the most realistic vantage point possible; my characters even have to go to the bathroom now and then! When was the last time you saw that in a sci-fi book. Adam Cain, the main character, also has anxiety attacks, is homesick … and is really pissed-off that he’s been yanked out of his comfortable life back on Earth and thrown into a smelly, disgusting and ‘alien’ universe.

As I say in the books, Adam Cain is an Alien with an Attitude … and he makes everyone around him pay for his bad mood!

The books are quick and easy reads, and have been part of one of the bestselling sci-fi series on Amazon over the past two years. I hope you enjoy them.

Blood of Rome: Caratacus (The Blood of Rome Chronicles Book 1) [Kindle Edition]

John Salter (Author)

AD 43, the misty and mysterious island of Britannia lies across the channel from Gaul, standing alone as the legions of the Roman Empire gather and turn their attention to her shores under the leadership of the Emperor Claudius. Most tribes capitulate immediately and choose to surrender unwilling to go to war, some side with the invader and fight against their fellow Britons but one stands resolute and ready to defy Claudius, the Catuvellauni.

Led by Caratacus, his tribe choose to resist the largest Empire the known world has ever seen, against overwhelming odds and superior military might, fighting for his entire way of life and the very existence of his people. Caratacus is determined to take the fight to Rome in a way never witnessed before and more successfully than those who have opposed its legions as they attempt to crush all those who stand against them.

Blood of Rome: Caratacus is the first chapter of the Blood of Rome series based on historical fact. It tells the story of a genuine warrior’s struggle and that of his people as they begin one of the longest wars of resistance against Rome and its legions.

Blood of Rome Retribution [Kindle Edition]

John Salter (Author)

Three years have passed since the Claudian invasion of Britannia in AD 43. Caratacus has been forced to retreat to the west, where he now leads the free tribes against the Roman occupation of their land. From his mountain stronghold, he launches devastating attacks upon the legions, seeking retribution for the death of his brother and thousands of Britons. The war has just begun, but it’s not a war that Rome is used to fighting as Caratacus’ warriors strike and then vanish into the hills and mist.

The Roman war machine has been halted in it’s tracks and now struggles to come to terms with the tactics used by an enemy employing the guile and cunning of a wolf, and the ferocity of a wounded bear, an enemy they believed should have been brushed aside already. As the conflict continues and battles rage, a fight to the death ensues, a fight between a warrior’s honour and an empire’s strength, both determined upon victory.
