Mini Nair has had two books published in India—an illustrated middle-grade children's book and a biography of pharmaceutical scientist B.V. Patel. She has spoken publicly to promote the efforts of the nonprofit organization Save the Girl Child. Her story idea was the basis for a film on sex selection produced for Population First, Mumbai.

Nair's new novel, set against the backdrop of Hindu-Muslim conflict in Mumbai in the early 1990s, is the story of four women raised with traditional values, whose friendship and business partnership give them emotional solace and economic self-sufficiency, as well as the temerity to stand up to religious extremism.

 

Kristen J. Tsetsi self-published a collection of her short stories, as well as her first novel, Homefront, the story of a 26-year-old woman in a small Tennessee military town waiting impatiently for her boyfriend, a helicopter pilot, to survive the war in Iraq. The author based the novel on her experience as the wife of a former Army pilot.

Tsetsi received her MFA in creative writing from Minnesota State University Moorhead. She co-founded the authors' collective Backword Books and contributes to the Self-Publishing Review. After becoming a client of the agency, she resumed work on her second novel.

Steve Shilstone maintains a perpetually perplexing daily blog of neo-Dadaist humor. He's the author of a series of children's adventure fantasies and Chance, an extraordinary baseball novel. His newest works of fiction are set in Northern California's wine country.

A former postal worker and youth baseball coach, Shilstone has a bachelor's degree in anthropology from UCLA. He now enjoys what he calls a "hippie-lite" artist's lifestyle in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. "I’ve been painting pictures, drawing cartoons, writing stories for a half-century," he says. "When there is no canvas on the easel or story in the typewriter/computer, I feel uneasy."
