Guy Morris has led an extraordinary life. After escaping an abusive childhood at age 13 to become a homeless runaway, Guy worked alongside migrant workers before he earned three degrees by age 25, including acceptance to Harvard MBA and a scholarship from University of Arizona. Recognized for his innovations in building a macro-economic that out-performed the Federal Reserve and change how economic are still built.

After working with IBM and Burroughs in main frame computer manufacturing, his career led him to international Occidental Petroleum where he pioneered adoption of early-stage AI systems and supported business deals worth billions. He can also speak to leadership roles at IBM, Oracle, and Microsoft, as well as start-ups he either founded or joined.

A talented musician and composer, Guy has recorded multiple CDs and wrote songs published by Disney Records. His adventures led him from receiving cartel death threats in Latin America to shark diving in Moorea – from boardroom politics impacting early climate change studies to living on a 50-foot sailing yacht with a charter captain's license.

Now, a multiple award winning author of thrillers, most often compared to Dan Brown, every one of his stories and characters pull from a rich life of diverse experiences grounded with deep, deep research.

Every story is based on true events, history, technologies, or personal experiences. For example, both SWARM and The Last Ark feature the true story of a program that escaped NSA spy labs and confirmed by an FBI visit to his home.

Guy strives to write books that thrill, educate, and inspire thoughtful dialogue on genuine issues facing humanity.

When reality isn't enough, you build your universe. That's precisely what J.F. Monroe did with the Legacy of the Four trilogy, creating a world where ancient powers walk among us and destiny can be rewritten by the courage of the human heart.

A lifelong devotee of fantasy fiction, Monroe crafts stories that blend epic adventure with deeply personal journeys. Her writing draws inspiration from the character-driven narratives of "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter," the high stakes of "The Hunger Games," and the intricate plotting of Christopher Nolan's films. These influences combine in her work to create stories where even the most extraordinary characters feel remarkably real.

At the heart of Monroe's storytelling philosophy lies a simple truth: the most powerful magic comes from human connection. Her characters—whether they're vessels for ancient powers or loyal companions with four legs—face struggles that resonate with readers long after they turn the last page. She crafts protagonists who aren't just extraordinary in their abilities but also in their capacity for growth, love, and sacrifice.

When not weaving tales of legendary guardians and supernatural realms, Monroe can be found immersed in the stories that fuel her imagination—curled up with a good book and a steaming cup of coffee, embarking on movie marathons, or exploring virtual worlds through video games. These moments of escape and adventure inspire new stories and new worlds for readers to discover.

I am the author of a biography about my father's amazing story of living as a Jewish man in Hungary when the Nazis, and later the communists, seized power. Growing up in affluence, young Ervin Wolf was forced into a labor camp, unaware that his parents were deported to Auschwitz.

In Not a Real Enemy: The True Story of a Hungarian Jewish Man's Fight for Freedom, Ervin relies on his wits and good fortune to escape the Nazis not once, but twice. Once freed, however, he finds life under communism so unbearable he must make the most daring of all escapes in the dead of a winter's night. Not a Real Enemy is the true story of one of the most unknown chapters in the Holocaust, following the transformation of a young man as he confronts antisemitism, cruelty, kindness, despair, and hope in his journey toward freedom. The book has now won a Nautilus Book Award, a National Indie Excellence Award, a Living Now Book Award, and a Readers' Favorite Book Award for 2023!

There are many parallels with today's world, including refugees, racism, antisemitism, 2 wars, pestilence, and a Russian invasion! The little known and poorly understood Hungarian Revolution in 1956 has been compared to the current conflict in Ukraine by some experts.

If you purchase the book using the link below, I can mail you a signed copy or eBook version. A review or any suggestions would also be wonderful! Please also consider a book talk/presentation as well, if feasible.

I am donating 10% of my proceeds to the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC in honor of my late parents, both Holocaust survivors. They were Holocaust and history educators throughout their lives in the free world. The book is available at that museum, the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center, as well as at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Walmart!

I have also donated copies to the Yad Vashem, the Florida Holocaust Museum, the Holocaust Museum in Johannesburg, South Africa, the Museum of History and Holocaust Education near Atlanta, Georgia, the Imperial War Museum in London, the Zekelman Holocaust Center in Michigan, as well as many other organizations.

T.L. McCoy is the founder of Blue Round Book Group, LLC, and the author of DELILAH VERSUS THE GHASTLY GRIM, a magical middle-grade fantasy novel inspired by her real-life granddaughter, who lives with a rare and life-threatening seizure disorder known as Dravet Syndrome.

The story follows a young girl who, after a life-threatening seizure, is transported through an indigo door in her mind into a strange and perilous world. There, she must unlock her hidden powers to survive — and save others.

T.L. didn't set out to write a book — she set out to give children like her granddaughter a hero they could see themselves in. According to a 2019 study, only 3.4% of children's books feature disabled protagonists. T.L.'s story blends fast-paced fantasy with emotional depth, creating a bridge between real-world challenges and epic adventure.

She brings warmth, purpose, and honesty to every interview and is passionate about disability representation in fiction, family storytelling, neurodiversity, and empowering children through inclusive literature.
