I am a husband, a father, and a writer living in New Mexico. Thrilling people with my storytelling is what I enjoy most and I write because I have incredible stories to tell. I take no responsibility for the things the characters say and do (ha ha ha). I develop a character and that person becomes a free spirit exploring the world I create for them.

Sincerely, Kevin Urban

Ana Paulina Lipster was born in Brazil and fell in love with the English language in junior high - love at first word. Ana Paulina has written many short stories, two of which are published in the Tolerance anthology. Her crime novel Branded will be published soon.

Kathleen Osborne's focus is on Sci-Fi Romance set in the present time and short stories of various genres.

She lives with her husband of 45 years, and they're four-legged 'girls' - Sugar and Gigi - who run the house. Together they have two children - Angella and Joseph, who have five children between them. In November 2021, they welcomed their 2nd great grandson into their extended family.

She lives at an elevation over 6000 feet in the White Mountains of northeastern Arizona. Has created an avid interest in baking. And imbibed her with a desire for new recipes for high altitude.

When asked how does she get her stories out so quickly in Kindle Vella, her reply was, "My husband is my greatest encourager and my biggest fan, that said he is also quick to point out any errors in a manuscript. Just as he is with helping in my research. We are a team."

She just announced her newest book, Hidden Dragons, on Kindle Vella will have its first chapter posted on Wednesday, April 13, 2022. She is working on a video and audio excerpt from it. I will post it on her website and here as soon as it is done.

You can find out more about her and the team she works with for the Anthologies she prints, too, by going to her website (www.kosborne-author.com) and the Transcendent Author's site (www.transcendent-authors.com).

Daniel Moreno was born and reared in the rough and tumble neighborhood of Humboldt Park in Chicago, IL to Evangelical pastors. Confined to the space within the fence around his single-family home, he developed a love for backyard baseball, self-entertaining and reading outdated encyclopedias. This fostered artistic expression and he has spent most of his life either running from or head-first into art. An actor, musician, podcast host, and writer, Daniel spends a lot of his creative energy writing flash fiction for guests on his podcast Other You. The 52+-story compilation book, Other You Podcast: Season One, is in the works.

“Shhh” and “Pop!” are his first published short stories.

Dena Linn, ex-urban, thriver, raised in a West Coast commune and groomed to explore the world, decided young not to be one of those ‘California girls’ and only in her stories does she look back. Her passion is exploring the fragility of human nature. Her stories delve into humans and those not-so-human as they discover and live through love and hate, loss and rage, insanity, and heartbreak. Living in different lands and melding into cultures from China to Texas to West Africa, and then from New York City to Mexico to Norway gives Dena’s stories zest from around the world. She won First-Place for the story: “The Problem Is” and was published by Reedsy.com. Her short story works have also appeared in Down in the Dirt Magazine and ArielChart International Literary Journal. Six additional short stories have been published in three anthologies produced by Transcendent Authors and available via Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, and on ebook platforms.
