Interview with Author – Robert Cano
About Robert Cano: A unique poet and new author who hearkens back to the world of the classics, Robert Cano also brings his poetic voice to his prose as he scribbles his stories down in small and barely legible scrawlings.

Interview with Author – Maggie Kast
About Maggie Kast: My first career was in modern dance, as performer, choreographer, and Artistic Director of Chicago Contemporary Dance Theater. I began to write seriously as by body became less able to invent, as I lost the ability to “think movement.” After thirty years of marriage and the birth of five children my husband died, and I lost a listener. The page took over that role, reflecting my thoughts back to me. Soon, within that journaling, poems and stories began to emerge, kernels … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – Maggie Kast
Interview with Author – J. A. Hailey
About J. A. Hailey: I WANT TO KEEP EVERYTHING UNDER WRAPS, but I can give a valid reason for my caginess, because while I am able to say that I am most often to be found living in and around NYC, I can state that I count it stupid to give any further details that would reveal my identity and pinpoint my address. I shall explain. When living in Dubai, I got dragged into a shouting match with a mega-bank, which then proceeded to ruin the life I was leading at the time. It was a credit card … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – J. A. Hailey
