This is what he says about himself: “I was born in mountainous Rajcza, south Poland where I spent my childhood and teenager years, and where I also studied and participated in the so called Solidarity movement against the communist regime. I emigrated out of Poland yet when Poland was still in the Soviet thaw and became a citizen of New Zealand within five years. I lived in marvelous Wellington, the capital of NZ, called often ' Windy Wellington ', due to the very many winds blowing through the city both from the Pacific and nearby mountains. I lived there also in Auckland and Coromandel Peninsula for a while. Afterwards I traveled worldwide, I had been amongst others in China and finally settled down in Antwerp, Belgium. The United States was always the country of my final destination and my departure from Poland, just eight days before martial law was in fact me emigrating to America which I have never so far had luck to get to. In the meantime I am feeling myself quite comfortable in the European Union, a great project of all Europeans which came true. New York, of course, remains the City of my dreams and is the ultimate destination for me to visit yet.”

It can be fleshing out a new story from an idea, polishing a previously written story that may have come back as rejected, sending off a story to a new site, or just taking some time to daydream and come up with some new ideas. Also, always make a little time every day to read."

Poetic Bio
By Alexandra H. Rodrigues
Born in Berlin
The first part of my life was a busy spin
I grew up surviving the War
Worked, danced and played in Germany, Austria,
Sweden and more.
Sponsored and hired, I then flew for Pan Am
Raised a family and lived in New York ever since then.
Writing was always on my mind
Essays and poems I published you can find
The rest of my life to writing I will devote
So as not to be remembered by
“She missed the boat.”

James Filomio says this about himself
"I'm a fiction writer that focuses on humor, but twisted around a somewhat serious story. My writing is simple and my characters speak in a down to earth voice, I don't go into great detail when I write, so bring your imagination. I try to base the story around the conversations, and let the reader build in their own mind the setting.
I have written over six books, some that can be found on Amazon. Two and a Half Trees, and the Murder family are some titles I am proud of."
