About the Visiting Authors:
Jamilette Cintron:
Jamilette Cintron is a Puerto Rican writer and creator of the Dark Mother series, a powerful collection of works that examine the darkness that lives within us, and how we learn to rise from it. Her writing blends poetic language with themes of grief, ancestral memory, resilience, and transformation (through horror, magical realism, and spiritual symbolism).
C.S. Farrelly:
C.S. Farrelly was raised in Wyoming and Pennsylvania. A playwright and producer in her spare time, she served for nearly 10 years on the board of the Origin Theatre Company. Her one-act play, Exit or Transfer Here, was staged by the Looking Glass Theater and another work, Arklow Blue, was produced by Turtle Shell Productions. Her most recent play, Relief, received a staged reading as part of the annual 1st Irish Theatre Festival. The Shepherd’s Calculus is her first novel.
S.J. Frey:
S.J. Frey is a multi-genre fiction author and Pennsylvania native. Books are her life and passion to spread her love of stories to everyone. When she's not reading, or working, she's usually watching movies and snuggling her dogs.
Brian Koscienski:
Brian developed his love of writing from countless hours of reading comic books, losing himself in the different worlds and adventures within the colorful pages. He had minor successes early in his career by getting a few short stories published in independent ‘zines before teaming up with Chris and Jeff to form The Novel Guys.
Lonnie Mounts:
Known as the Blue Collar Author, Lonnie Mounts is a Southern-born, Northern-raised Army Veteran that has a passion for writing Mysteries and Suspenseful Romance. True to his title, Lonnie writes of real-life struggles, passions, relationships and scenarios that will keep you on the edge of your seat!
Lizzie Qnert:
Lizzie Qnert (and her lighthearted alter ego Melissa Nordhoff) is an award-winning author of five thrillers/mysteries set in offbeat blink-and-you’ll-miss-it towns. Using her experiences living in rural Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and on Maryland’s Eastern Shore as inspiration, her novels are praised for true to life settings, well-developed characters, and page-turning pacing.
