Lionel H Santos
AuthorI write action-adventure thrillers that blend ancient history, Cold War espionage, and the hunt for relics that should have stayed buried, in the spirit of Indiana Jones and Clive Cussler. At my table I’ll have my debut novel, The Delphi Protocol, the first book in the Saint & Sinner series, available for purchase and signing. It’s a 1986 chase across Europe in which a bookish historian and a haunted spy race the KGB for an artifact tied to the Oracle of Delphi, a relic that could save the world or end it. I’m glad to talk with readers about the series, the real history behind it, and what’s coming next.

TR Biggar
AuthorA timely and true story that will resonate with Canadians during these times. Our long history with the US took a turn when their independence was declared in 1776. Since that time Canadians have been forced make choices that have distinguished us from our neighbours to the south. The decisions we made over the past 250 years continued through the War of 1812, when our borders were invaded and we fought to remain Canadian. Those challenges have taken different forms over the years, but they continue today. This is the story of one family who faced these challenges, through generations. And it is a story of the people and in particular, the women who were part of history and whose story is rarely told. Following the American War for Independence, Betsy Green and her husband, Charles—who fought with the Loyalists—are relentlessly persecuted by their neighbours and fear they can no longer remain in New Jersey. Charles plans to go to the Niagara Region, seeking land as a reward for his loyalty to the Crown and then return for his pregnant wife and five children. But Betsy alters their plans when she makes a decision—though virtuous and kind-hearted—that endangers her entire family. They must flee their home immediately. Desperate to move quickly, Charles and Betsy leave their three eldest children in the care of Charles’s brother and set out with their two youngest, a few supplies, and their only horse. So begins their long and dangerous trek—full of twists and toils—to Upper Canada. They must travel through the wilderness under cover of darkness or risk being caught and arrested. Blending true stories with fictional details and told through the voices of Betsy and later her daughter Rebecca, Our Pursuit of Happiness is an extraordinary tale of a family whose love, strength, courage, and fortitude during perilous times paved the way for generations of Canadians to come.

Twisted Storylines Publishing, Mathew J. Shaw
PublisherTwisted Storylines Publishing is my official publishing business which I release my own works under, so self published would apply also. I have two books available, pychological thrillers wrapped in mystery, My books are Adult 📘 Nevaeh – The Story of The Lost: A psychological, philosophical thriller wrapped in a haunting crime mystery. For twenty years, people known as The Lost have been disappearing one by one — and the truth behind their vanishing is far more terrifying than anyone imagines. 📗 The Next Step – The Controller’s Game: A gripping psychological thriller and investigative mystery. When profiler Clayton Trilling is pulled into the mind-bending case of a sinister figure known only as The Controller, every answer leads to a darker question. The real horror may be what Clayton discovers about himself, and the terrifying truth about why he must continue the game that The Controller started.
