Olga Ayala,
artist, painter, ceramist and a "Polymer Clay" sculptor.
Olga grew up in "El Barrio" in New York City. Her
artistic awakening came about one day, while still a child, when she saw her mother draw a "life-like depiction" of Mickey
Mouse. Olga has since evolved her talents in many mediums, but she found her calling in the creation of
detailed, "life-like" art using "Polymer Clay".
She sells and shows her work in venues all over the world.

 Anja King Photography,
Portraits, Music Promo Shoots and Weddings are just part of what this gifted London based photographer creates.
Capturing the moment, stopping time… There are many poetic ways to describe
a photograph; to Anja photography is the realization that she has been, that
she has seen and the idea and assurance that there are many places she still
needs to be, she still needs to see.

 Paul S. Kemp, NY Times bestselling author of fantasy fiction,
characterizes his writing as a cross between dark fantasy and sword and sorcery fiction. Writers Michael Moorcock and Fritz Leiber are his touchstones, though (like many authors) he has been influenced strongly by
authors David Gemmell, H.P. Lovecraft, and Steven Brust. Paul says folks sometimes ask him where to start with his stories about ex-assassin turned priest Erevis Cale. Paul says to start with either Twilight Falling, book one of The Erevis Cale Trilogy, or Shadowbred, book one of The Twilight War. Either is a good place to start the Cale stories.
