Welcome to the 2016 Brain to Books Cyber Convention and to my booth! I am Massimo Marino, a scientist turned author. I'm member of SFWA (Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America), and a scientist envisioning science fiction.
I contributed to the experiments at CERN, at the Lawrence Berkeley Lab, and at the Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC), then accepted leading positions at Apple, Inc., and at the World Economic Forum in its leadership team. I went from smashing particles at the largest accelerators in the world, to smashing words on the most popular laptop in the world.
I'm the author of multi-awarded SF trilogy "Daimones" and published by Booktrope LCC.

Hi I'm Author Shay Lee Soleil. Living in Ontario, Canada. My book Unforgivable Lust & Fire Is published and is available in eBook, Paperback & Hardcover. Book 2 of the series will be available soon and book 3 is almost finished. My book is spreading fast and everyone loves it! Having a couple book signings coming up and life is busy.
Hello. I'm Simon Williams, the author of the Aona dark fantasy books, and Summer's Dark Waters, which is a YA sci-fi/fantasy adventure. I'm working on the fifth and final Aona book "Salvation's Door" which should be out this spring, and aim to also finish the sequel to Summer's Dark Waters by the summer.
Although I describe the Aona books as dark fantasy, they really bridge a number of genres and they contain elements of sci-fi and horror.
I'm also writing an as-yet-untitled book for young (7-10 yrs) children which is possibly the toughest project yet.
Welcome Parker, Massimo, Shay, and Simon! Simon, I'll check out your books. I like YA fantasy.

Thank you Lenita, Neeta, and Victoria for the welcome!I forgot to mention that I'm a mother of three teens, which makes me a semi expert, ha! Seriously, I write from the middle years when youth go exploring stretching their minds, imaginations and bodies on into the young adult segment when the world is at your door.
My genre for writing is fiction, contemporary and historical for teens, YA and adults. The books I enjoy reading are Grisham novels, classics, and a good warm romance.
Thanks. Glad to be here.

Hi, My name is Michael Mucci and I am the author of the crime thriller, A Season to Kill. I reside in southwest Florida and happy to be part of the group.
I'm Terry Madden, author of the dark fantasy "Three Wells of the Sea" series. The first book was just released! I'm an award-winning author and screenwriter and my work appears in Writers of the Future volume 30 as well as Digital Science Fiction. I teach high school chemistry and astronomy as my day job and am working on book two of my series as well as a space opera, so my interests are rather wide. I've been collecting book lists on Goodreads for several years, but haven't been very active in groups, so I am dipping my toes in the community waters. I look forward to meeting other writers and readers!
Hello everyone! My name is Alex, I'm 34, living in Chicago where I work in television. I love fantasy and science fiction mostly, but not exclusively. I'm trying to take advantage of the community features more so if you want to add me as a friend, feel free! Some of my favorite authors are Joe Hill, Neil Gaiman, Catherynne M. Valente, among others. I'm currently reading Patrick Ness' A Monster Calls and it is breathtakingly beautiful.Happy reading!
Hi, I'm Amanda Siegrist. I write Romance novels (contemporary and suspense) and I love to read, mostly romance, but I have read other genres as well. When I'm not doing either of those things, I'm enjoying the time with my two little girls and husband.
Hi, I'm Tony C. Skye. I have written two books and am 11.5k words into the third. I enjoy reading; especially, outside of the genre I write in. I'm not certain why that is, but it just is. It might be related to removing my mind from my work in order to refreshen it, as it were. Anyway, hi all.
Greetings my name is Greg Wagner.I am hopelessly enamored with the writing bug and have just published two more books.
The first one is an action comedy titled "The Sisterhood of the Rubber Ducky and the second is an action thriller titled "At the End Of Forever" Both can be found on my website, along with my other creations. Please feel free to check them out at www.gregwagnerbooks.com
I'm currently working on "YOU LIE - A Cautionary Tail" which is a comedy and book two of the "Fenton Dragon" Series.
Feel free to ask questions about me or my books on my author page.
READING ROCKS!
