Kiera has always been fascinated by the ways words can be used to twist insanity into perfect sense, and thought she better take some responsibility and twist some of it back again.

I am the author of “Toto and His Extraordinary Discoveries: A Boys’s Marvelous Journey to his Magical Self”. It’s a series of 12 short, story-based books designed for children aged 4-9, focused on core values and emotional awareness. The goal is to help children understand and express their emotions through storytelling, supporting their emotional development with relatable characters and simple, meaningful stories.

The series follows the journey of a boy who goes on different adventures, discovering in each story a new inner super power by overcoming an emotional challenge, all with the help of nature. The books are available in English, Spanish and a bilingual edition (English-Spanish).

Callum M. Brooks is the author of the Rise of Tyrants epic fantasy series. A lifelong fantasy reader, he spent years devouring novels before deciding it was time to bring the stories in his own imagination to life.

That decision became Rise of Tyrants, a project that took over twelve years to complete. The first novel, Whispers of War, was released in March 2025 to widespread praise from readers, followed just twelve months later by the second installment, Tides of an Avalanche. Together, the series has received outstanding reader reviews and is rapidly approaching one million Kindle page reads.

Book Three is currently in development, with publication planned for late 2026 or early 2027.

Set across multiple kingdoms and told through a rich cast of interconnected characters, Rise of Tyrants is a dark epic fantasy grounded in realism, where political intrigue, brutal warfare, impossible choices, and the consequences of ambition shape the fate of nations. As an uneasy peace begins to fracture and an ancient prophecy stirs, every decision has the power to change the world.

Norman George was born in Bangor, Northern Ireland, where he grew up during the height of the troubles. Although he is a retired IT network manager, his real passion is for natural sciences, having studied Genetics and Cell Biology, Geosciences and Astronomy at Manchester and Open Universities.

He spent over 20 years living on mainland Europe, and spent several years hosting a ski chalet, where he became chef, driver, tourist guide and barman. His fascination for natural sciences, complemented by observation of humanity’s cultural conflicts, terrorism and the impact of mankind on nature, inspired his first novel.

‘Who Writes the Rules?’ published in 2023 presents scientific ideas and the author’s concerns about the impact of human activity. The story of Mosse and Heelia’s relationship examines how of cultural differences conflicts with their instincts, while providing a vehicle for discussing natural science within the context of the plot.

Norman’s 2nd novel, ‘Divine Intervention’, was inspired by visits to Athens and Delos, where the temples to the Greek gods are now in ruins. How would Athena react if she saw the horde of tourists surrounding the Parthenon?

A 3rd thought-provoking book is currently being researched, to be published in 2027.
