Author bio:
Gary Kuyper began his professional literary career writing self-help and general interest articles for Daan Retief Publishers who produced a monthly book for their woman’s club called Woman’s Forum. These articles would sometimes require research and had titles as diverse as The Human Brain and Body Painting! Being a professional photographer on a part-time basis Gary has also managed to have his articles on photography (With accompanying photographs) published in books and magazines. He has also done some free-lance photography and photojournalism projects for numerous local newspapers. Over the past four years he has constantly managed to be one of the top finalists in the Nova Short Story Competition (A competition for budding writers of science fiction and/or fantasy). Last year (2009) Gary had the pleasure of seeing The Devil's Little Tadpoles grace the pages of the local SF & Fantasy Fanzine Probe. He is an avid film buff and amateur film maker. A few years ago I managed to take first prize in the SA Ten Best Film Makers Competition with a short film entitled The Crimson Cobra - An action-packed martial arts / superhero movie using some of the very talented local artists. He is a qualified prosthetics make-up artist and has used this talent on both amateur and professional productions. He has also appeared on television in a youth program especially made for enlightening people in the art of special effects make-up. Gary has a rather excellent general knowledge being not only an avid writer but reader of any material that is able to stimulate him cerebrally. He taught himself Adobe Photoshop and has become adapt and proficient enough at utilizing the software to such a degree that he has managed to sell a number of creations to various institutes and organizations. He is particularly fond of a logo designed for the Krazy Mug Coffee Shop and several covers that have graced the front of Probe. Gary has a vast knowledge of music and has appeared on the local Television Music Quiz Show Note for Note where he was able to win a substantial amount of prize money. In 2008 he entered the SF / Fantasy Mini Radio Play Competition and took first prize with his The Adventures of Captain Max Power of the Intergalactic Police - an obvious homage to the early Flash Gordon radio series’. A number of skilled professionals are now planning to produce Max to CD and have it aired on a local radio station (SAfm). All his literary and photojournalistic accomplishments have been done on a part-time basis due to the fact that his full time career is lecturing mathematics as well as engineering science at a Technical College. Although this is a most fulfilling profession, it has long been Gary's ideal to become a full-time writer – especially of fantasy, science fiction and horror novels. He has recently published his first full-length fantasy novel - The Chronicles of Baltrath: The DARK WIZARDS. As a considerable amount of time and effort has been expended in building the world of Baltrath, Gary has begun work on a sequel to The Dark Wizards.

Author bio:
Soy un amante de la literatura fantástica; el transporte a otros mundos jamás a dejado mi lado desde que nos hicimos amigos, en aquel entonces. Opino que la vida es bella rimándola y generando tras ella metáforas para explicar sus fenómenos alternos. Os invito a perseguir las letras que quedaron plasmadas tras la publicación de mi primera obra artística. Las letras quizá admitan dejarse probar tras alguna dosis inicial, y espero que lo sigan haciendo luego de su degustar prolongado. Soy un filósofo enamorado de la vida, y sobre ella me gusta refleccionar. Quizá de vez en cuando me aventure por los senderos que a muchos nos gustan festejar. Entre otras veces, me gusta aislarme, y focalizar mi pasión sobre aquella cosa que a todos nos elude: los enigmas de la vida. Y sobre ellos a veces escribo y tergiverso a historias fantásticas. Espero poder compartir tales aventuras con vosotros.

I love discovering the mystery in the everyday. "My time spent in cities by water, the high desert, and mythic sacred space inform my work. I am interested in energy and spirit. "These pieces were written during my years in Santa Fe and Corrales, New Mexico. Now that' I'm gone from the high desert 5 years now, I can let them go."

ELIO MOREIRA Poeta, já com livro publicado e CDs lançados. Militar. Tendo base a partir de 1972 na Polícia do Exercito “3º BPE” PORTO ALEGRE. Onde, apesar de jovem, já passava noites e noites escrevendo, acumulando folhas com rascunhos de poesias. Permanência na caserna por longos anos, quando pedida à exclusão para seguir rumo ao Paraná, onde passou ”terceirizado”, a fazer parte dos quadros da ELETROSUL, como Fiscal de Terraplanagem. Na cidade de Laranjeiras do Sul. Barragem de Salto Santiago. Longe de casa a saudade atormentava escrever suavizava e encurtava as distâncias, sonhos foram descritos em doces poemas e nisto o pleno desabrochar da veia poética. Depois. Na vida fiz de tudo um pouco, sempre descontente comigo mesmo. Cansado de tantas coisas em vão, novamente resolvi juntar algumas palavras, para que com elas pudesse falar de minhas magoas e alegrias, daquilo que já estava plantado em meu coração. Gostando desta junção, vi que era isto que realmente queria fazer e com fervor segui em frente, escrevendo poemas, procurando ser o mais simples possível, para que todos os viessem a entender. Escrevo com naturalidade sobre o belo da vida, de minhas saudades, de minhas dores minhas desilusões, principalmente, das juras falsas de alguns amores. Um dia ao visitar TORRES, encantei-me com a cidade, este recanto abençoado por Deus, encantei-me com seu povo e suas belezas naturais, tocando-me fundo o sentimento de paixão que sinto no ar. Apaixonado, aportei meu barco e fiz minha ultima viagem, fixando fortemente as amarras, para nunca mais sentir desejos de em outras águas navegar. Em TORRES, sempre atuante nas áreas culturais, vários anos como coordenador do - GRUPO DE POETAS DE TORRES- Sendo ainda, Membro da Câmara Setorial de Literatura. Com orgulho, estipulando metas, planos e ações para o primeiro Fórum Municipal de cultura, onde esteve como coordenadora a Dirigente Cultural Dóra Laidens. Batalhadora e incentivadora incansável pela elevação Literária de Torres. Como poeta destaca-se entre seus pares, com senso de liderança e principalmente promovendo sarais semanalmente e com programas culturais durante dois anos, na extinta Radio Ondas do Mar, participante assíduo no programa Clube da Poesia da Radio Cultural FM. Por longo período a publicações de poemas em sua terra natal. Nas páginas do - JORNAL DE RIO PARDO - Também em Torres a publicação de poemas, por anos consecutivos em colunas semanais nos quatros maiores jornais existente. Atualmente nas páginas do Jornal NORTESUL. Semanário que faz a interação entre o Litoral Norte-RS e o Sul de SC. Onde a foto do poeta é destacada e semanalmente exposta na página exclusiva sobre cultura ao lado da coluna do Governador de SC. Com participação elevada nas feiras do livro de Torres, fazendo-se presente com o Grupo de Poetas e a promoção de sarais e de tardes de autógrafos, também participação especial na tenda cultural no Festival de Balonismo, onde foi arrecadados pelo poeta inúmeros certificados de participações especiais. SEMPRE tentando elevar o nível cultural em TORRES, em parceria com a escritora SANDRA POPOFF, aos fins de semana, e durante toda a temporada de veraneio conduzimo-nos com um expositor para a Praça 15,“coração pulsante da cidade”, sempre atentos a uma melhor divulgação para os visitantes, mantendo em exposição livros publicados pelos escritores Torrenses.

Utöver Författarskolan har jag även studerat filosofi, litteraturvetenskap och idé- och lärdomshistoria (i Lund), samt förläst mig på Nietzsche. Idag skriver jag om narcissismen som vår tids ansikte: ett obarmhärtigt blottande av porer och smink, med leendets musikaliska vingtag, som trots all smärta håller andan i liv. Följande e-böcker hoppas jag är perfekta när man sitter på tåget eller bussen och vill ha något att läsa på mobilen. Men det finns säkert fler tillfällen! Gå crazy! Läs böckerna uppe i träd, i dussintal eller hängande i balkongräcket. ;)

José Leon Machado nasceu em Braga no dia 25 de Novembro de 1965. Estudou na Escola Secundária Sá de Miranda e licenciou-se em Humanidades pela Faculdade de Filosofia de Braga. Frequentou o mestrado na Universidade do Minho, tendo-o concluído com uma dissertação sobre literatura comparada. Actualmente, é Professor Auxiliar do Departamento de Letras da Universidade de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro, onde se doutorou em Linguística Portuguesa. Tem colaborado em vários jornais e revistas com crónicas, contos e artigos de crítica literária. A par do seu trabalho de investigação e ensino, tem-se dedicado à escrita literária, especialmente à ficção. Influenciado pelos autores clássicos greco-latinos e pelos autores anglo-saxónicos, a sua escrita é simples e concisa, afastando-se em larga medida da escrita de grande parte dos autores portugueses actuais, que considera, segundo uma entrevista recente, «na sua maioria ou barrocamente ilegíveis com um público constituído por meia dúzia de iluminados, ou bacocamente amorfos com um público mal formado por um analfabetismo de séculos.»

Who are you really? Are you your body. mind and personality? Or are you the spacious awareness in which they appear?

Nirmala offers a unique vision and a gentle, compassionate approach, which adds to the rich tradition of inquiry into the truth of Being. He is also the author of several books including Nothing Personal: Seeing Beyond the Illusion of a Separate Self. He has been offering satsang throughout the United States and Canada since 1998.

Raised in Oakland, he is a poet, teacher, publisher and author of several books: Revolutionary Erotica, Black Man In Europe and Excerpts From My Soul: Read Without Prejudice.
