About the author of the Caledonian Sprite Series, Deborah Jay:
Deborah Jay writes fast-paced fantasy adventures featuring quirky characters and multi-layered plots – just what she likes to read.
Living mostly on the UK South coast, she has already invested in her ultimate retirement plan – a farmhouse in the majestic, mystery-filled Scottish Highlands where she retreats to write when she can find time.
Her taste for the good things in life is kept in check by the expense of keeping too many dressage horses, and her complete inability to cook.
THE PRINCE’S MAN is her debut novel, first in a trilogy and winner of a UK Arts Board award, with the sequel due out soon.
Urban fantasy, DESPRITE MEASURES, is the first in a projected 5 book CALEDONIAN SPRITE SERIES, and a stand alone short story SPRITE NIGHT is now available.

For someone who would describe himself as a “home-body”, Peter Soros’s actions would tell a different story. At age 17, he home schooled himself his senior year of high school so he could graduate early and move to Italy. To much surprise his American high school diploma was not held in high regard, so he had to start at the 3rd of 5 years art specific high school, where he focused on graphic design. While in Sicily he also studied classical guitar privately for advancement at the music conservatory in Palermo. It wasn’t until Peter moved back to San Diego from Italy, that he began teaching himself photography.
Long before 9/11, Miles used to lie in bed at night in his apartment on Manhattan’s Upper West Side — just across the park from where Cynthia, Steve and Melissa would be living — and listen to the sirens. Wondering when someone would drop “The Big One” on The City.
Mike C. Erickson grew up in the idyllic college town of Logan, Utah, but because of a twist of fate he graduated from high school in Honolulu. He left Hawaii brimming with aloha and enrolled at Utah State, where he was awarded two degrees and self-proclaimed minor intellectual status, which was of dubious value when the US Army invited him to vacation in South-East Asia. Ten days after leaving Vietnam, he began decades of dispensing pearls of wisdom as a high school history teacher, academic decathlon coach, and on occasion, as a community college instructor in the Sacramento area. Mike and his wife Trudy, have two grown sons and a grandson born soon after this novel is published. When not in Hawaii or another exotic locale, they live in Gold River, California. This is his first novel.
