Eventually, in both chains and handcuffs, he was unceremoniously deported to France, put into a rat-infested prison, charged with crimes he did not understand let alone commit.

In order to stop himself going mad with frustration and worry he began to draw up the outline for the Knights of Black Chapter. The last four and a half years have been spent researching the intriguing world of freemasonry and developing the full story line for The Knights of Black Chapter, in parallel with fighting and eventually winning the battle to clear his name with the French authorities. Ken Bourne-Turner is a practising Freemason and Knights Templar of the St Amand Preceptory with full allegiance to: The United Religious and Military Orders of the Temple, and of St John of Jerusalem, Palestine, Rhodes and Malta in England and Wales and the Dominions and Dependencies of the British Crown.

In 1983, he founded U.S. Park Investments, a company that owns and brokers manufactured home and RV communities. Over the years, Irion has garnered a large collection of recipes from resident RV campers.

The impetus behind the Summit Murder Mystery series is Irion’s 1987 expedition to Mount Everest from the China side. Irion couldn’t resist creating plot-twisting, adventure-filled stories against the backdrop of the Seven Summits, the highest and deadliest mountains on the world’s seven continents. Irion’s June 2011 climbing expedition of Mt. Kilimanjaro, in Tanzania, also included a medical mission with the K2 Adventures Foundation, a non-profit organization and one of Irion’s philanthropic endeavors, and his June 2012 climbing expedition of Machu Picchu, in Peru, only added to this desire. By experiencing the thrill of the climb and the community culture for himself, his books are more tangible, exciting and realistic. Irion’s other book series; the Hell Series is comprised of four books. Remodeling Hell, followed by Autograph Hell, Car Dealer Hell and Divorce Hell. Inspired by real-life events, these books are true stories created by actual (hellish) events that infuriated Irion to the point of wanting to expose the demons through his writings and to guide others on how to avoid the same ‘Hell’ he experienced. He is donating all of the net proceeds of his Hell Series to victims of fraud. Irion also supports other humanitarian-relief organizations, such as Project C.U.R.E. and Healing the Children.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR, WILLIAM CREED By Sue Collier William Creed was born in Detroit, Michigan. His family moved to Normal, Illinois when he was eight, then returned to Michigan five years later the small town of Romeo, Michigan, where his parents operated a children’s shoppe. While a student at Romeo High, Bill started his literary career by approaching a local newspaper about writing a weekly column for teens. The editor liked the idea and he soon began writing a column entitled, “Viewing The Teens”. In one of his columns, Bill proposed the idea of forming a Teen United Nations as a way to encourage teenagers to put aside national politics and reach out to those in other countries. Bill’s journey into national politics brought him national media coverage, as well as many letters, including a letter from the Soviet Embassy in New York expressing interest in the idea. After graduation from high school, Bill enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and was initially stationed at Tyndall AFB, Florida. In 1961, he was assigned to the Air Force Security Service and stationed in Darmstadt, Germany. Here he wrote a guide to living in Germany for the serviceman and his family titled, “G.I. In Germany.” The manuscript received endorsements from the Comander of European Forces, the Chancellor of Germany, and Mayors of Frankfurt, Berlin and Munich among others. After discharge from the Air Force, Bill attended Wayne State University, but did not go into the writing field. Instead, he ended up in the entertainment industry. He spent the next twenty years producing and promoting concerts and other entertainment events for Encore, CRG, and Parthenon Productions. He produced these events throughout the eastern U.S. with such entertainers as Dottie West, Little Jimmy Dickens, Box Car Willie and many others who were popular at the time.

Though he was told that he would remain like this, Bill a long-time Christian, sought healing through his faith. Bill received a promise from God that he would be healed – and he was. Over the years, through prayer, and with the help of family and friends, he now has regained what he lost. In 1998, Bill decided to return to the activity he enjoyed most, writing. Subsequently, he wrote COMES THE END which received rave reviews from critics and readers alike. He followed with his second book, “THE GATHERING”, which also has received an outstanding reception. Creed’s third book, THE PROMISE, was released in April 2009 to the delight of his many fans. Bill lives in Romeo, Michigan with his wife, Sharon. Together they have five children and two spoiled dogs. His wife is a nurse manager in the Emergency Room at a local hospital and has been her husband’s chief supporter and fan. Bill spends a great deal of time traveling around the country doing book signings at book stores as well as military installations. His book has been taken overseas for distribution to servicemen in Iraq and Afghanistan by the Army.

Author bio:
Marc C. Crump enjoyed his formative years in the Mojave Desert where he learned to shoot, hunt and ride horses. He fondly remembers his evenings with his parents as they gathered around the radio to listen to Gunsmoke and The Lone Ranger. When they got their first TV (black & white), his favorite genre became more alive with Roy Rodgers, Gene Autrey, Hopalong Cassidy and an endless supply of other western heroes over the coming years. These shows helped fill Mr. Crump with an indelible and lasting lust for knowledge of the legends of the west. With his interest in firearms, he apprenticed as a gunsmith in Sacramento. He eventually opened his own gun shop in Cloverdale, Oregon. Crump has combined his knowledge of guns, horses, and his life long craving for the history and grandeur of the Old West, to create his new and exciting career as a writer of western novels. Among his favorite authors are: Zane Grey, Louis L’Amour, Luke Short, Max Brand and Larry McMurtry, to name a few.

Author bio:
Ron Sharrow was born and educated in in Maryland. He attended the Baltimore City College, The University of Maryland and earned his law degree at the University of Baltimore School of Law. His Baltimore law firm, established in 1965, has represented clients in both criminal and civil cases for more than forty years. Ron was one of the three lawyers in the country who pioneered the concept of legal clinics which championed readily available and affordable legal services from store-front law offices throughout the United States. By the end of 1977, he had established 20 legal clinic offices in 8 states on the East Coast. His involvement in that movement led to a lawsuit he filed against the Maryland State Bar Association for violation of his First Amendment right to freedom of speech. The organized bar, as it had done for more than 100 hundred years, enforced its legislated ban against professional advertising and refused to grant him permission to advertise the availability of the legal clinics' services. The constitutional issue raised in that case made its way through the Federal Court system and was resolved favorably by the United States Supreme Court in the summer of 1977. Ron Sharrow became the first lawyer to advertise his services on television. Among his other achievements, he argued two landmark cases before the Maryland Court of Appeals which established precedents in the fields of Medical Malpractice and Contract Law. In the early years of his career, he handled cases in various fields of law. Although his personal favorites were the criminal cases, he eventually narrowed the emphasis of his practice to personal injury litigation. His firm was among the largest personal injury practices in the State of Maryland. By 1988, it had represented in excess of 12,000 clients. Throughout the years during which he was actively engaged in his law practice, Ron kept a journal into which he scribbled notes of the funny things people said to him…the malapropos and the preposterous situations people got themselves into. He attributes the maintenance of his sanity to a keen sense of humor which triggered his observation of the humorous side of most situations. It was the humor he chronicled in that journal which led him to the decision to memorialize these stories in The Full Moon Diary (a work in progress) and the series of Bruce West novels. Since he retired from active practice in 1998 he, with his wife, Beth and their pet Maltese, Trinket divide their time between their home in Palm Desert, California and their Central Park apartment in New York City.

I designed the NASA's logo that was done with bent one line for each letter of "N", "A", "S", "A" that had been retired thankfully. I didn't receive any compensation for it. I just gave it away. I was hoping I would garner some name recognition but it didn't quite turn out that way. I was in a very delicate situation back in 1979 and early 1980s. I also designed the logo for intel. One with letter "e" dropping about half way. I was hoping to get paid but at the last minute this woman who set up the meeting for both of us, I and the man from intel, intervened and mangled the deal. I had gotten nothing out of that to my dismay.

Author bio:
From a bare-foot 6 year old Ozark Foothills farm boy who was blessed with a 1st teacher that convinced us that "YOU CAN", to officer of a Memphis bank at age 22, to president of a small town bank at 32, to Senior Lending Officer of a Little Rock bank, to rescuing "failing" small banks. That made for an exciting 46-year career in banking with real estate as a sideline. Operating a one-man real estate brokerage representing homebuyer’s exclusively which is a joy at age 77. Most brokers try to fairly represent both sides of a home sale transaction, an impossible exercise that is much like my wife filing a contested divorce action then I hire her attorney to “represent me”. All that with no college education but constant study through industry related schools until age 62 resulting in the equivalent of a degree from a business school. Born in the depths of the Great Depression, I am grateful that my very poor small-farm parents were not pro-choice-death; else, I would not be here since they could ill afford another child. During my early years, mother was the sole caregiver for her mother who was dying an excruciation death with cancer. We had no phone, automobile, running water and luxuries but we cherished God and each other. We were was grateful to God for clothes and food (mostly home grown or bartered.) Neighbors who had no food or warm clothing were the poor. I did not realize that we were poor until President Johnson defined it for us. Married at age 18. Remain married to the same sweet lady 59 years later. Grandpa at 39. GreatGrandpa at 63. At age 13, trusted Jesus to become a truly-born-again-child-of-God like Jesus clearly described in John 3. After intense conviction by God's Holy Spirit, Jesus saved my inner man, my spirit when I trusted Him and prayed, “God be merciful to me a sinner.” (Luke 16:13b) Baptist deacon over 50 years. Sunday school teacher over 40+ years. Student of God's Word for 70+ years. Enjoy sharing how Jesus loved me, pursued me and saved my spirit, my inner-man making me eager for Him to Rapture me any moment into the presence of God and all of the truly-born-again-children-of-God in paradise or welcome me upon my impending death. I eagerly await either event. I do NOT claim to be a "Christian" since I define that as being Christ-like. That word is miss-used and abused by many professed “Christians” and by the freethinking media. I enjoy the study of God’s Word and the commentary of other students. I enjoy discussing specific points of interpretation with thinkers whose ideas differ. I live 3 miles into the picturesque rolling Ozark foothills that light up each Fall with colors on a pallet that only God could paint. Upon semi-retirement, we built a new home next door to my 93-year-old mother-in-law. At 105, she resides with us under the constant care of her only child. Our son, Tim is Senior Attorney to Arkansas’ Secretary of State. He has two un-married sons. Our daughter, Debbie Baker, has two children and three GRANDchildren. She is terminal with seven abdominal cancers. In addition to expounding on my interpretation of God’s Word, I write about episodes from my life, my parents, my banking career and from one-on-one experiences with powerful Arkansas political figures like Bill and Hillary Clinton, Orval Faubus, Winthrop Rockefeller, Dale Bumpers, David Pryor, Wilbur Mills, etc. 11-1-7 My passion is ... My family, God’s Word and writing I know too much about ... Nothing. My parents always told me ... 99.9% of this world's problems are the result of one person not understanding another person. My childhood ambition ... Play baseball for the Yankees since my Hall-of-Fame friend Bill Dickey gave me a glove that I could not afford. My favorite memory ... Proposing to and being wed to my wife of 59 years. Why I write ... To express my feeling about critical spiritual and personal issues. What I am reading/watching/listening to ... God's Word and commentaries thereon. Sports, educational subjects and spiritual subjects. My first job ... Child farm hand. Work had a positive impact the remainder of my life. Bank clerk. My best moment ... Trusting Jesus to save my soul from hell. My inspiration ... To make a positive spiritual impact one-person-at-a-time especially through my writing.

My life's been an interesting journey, to say the least. I was raised in the central Texas area, and upon completing high school, served in the military for over five years. After that, I attended Panola College and the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, graduating with a degree in Social Work in 1997. Since then, I've worked various jobs in the field, and have recently settled with my wife in Northeast Michigan. Sometimes a complete change is just what the doctor ordered. Recently, I've done away with my pen name of Wilson Kasa and have decided to re-publish my short stories under my real name. My stories come from a mix of what is probably an overactive imagination and real life experiences. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did writing them. All the best, Philip

I'm a native New Yorker. My writing has appeared in many publications, including The Flyfisher, Flyfishing & Tying Journal and Yale Anglers' Journal. To me, much of my writing is autobiographical, as it reflects my own gratifying, but at times, difficult journey of emotional and spiritual recovery. On the long road of my journey I slowly learned to find a way to forgive, and to connect to the good and the beautiful in the world. (This is how I define spirituality.) I therefore love books where the main characters struggle against inner and outer conflicts and try to do good. I often fish the streams of Westchester, the piers of New York City and the lakes of Central Park.

After working for one of America's largest defense contractors in North Carolina, West Virginia and Florida, I moved to Richmond, Virginia where I briefly studied law and met the girl of my dreams. We soon married and moved to Texas; there we produced the three smartest children in the world. Back in North Carolina, I directed the development of a software package used by government agencies and corporations to send messages and files over encrypted connections between PCs, servers, and wireless devices. My passions in life, besides my family and making up stuff (writing), are food, wine, college sports (did I say, "Go Wolfpack!"?), music (especially country, classical, and the kind that Frank Sinatra used to sing) and playing tennis. I now split my time between New York City, Atlanta, and North Carolina with occasional forays into Walt Disney World and Hilton Head Island.
