About Me

EPIC, the Electronically Published Internet Connection, is a professional organization, consisting of e-published and p-published authors, editors, publishers and industry professionals of all kinds. It was established to provide a strong voice for electronic publishing. Among our members, you'll find writers of all the most popular fiction genres, as well as non-fiction self-help and how-to. Our members hail from all over the world...13 different countries at the current time.

Even though e-publishing is a relatively new venue, there are many readers, writers, and traditionally published authors who believe this is one of the major marketplaces of the future, and the growth figures support that belief. EPIC exists to help professional writers learn more about the best publishing opportunities on the Internet and to provide networking opportunities for exchange of information about promotion and market growth.

In addition, EPIC addresses literacy in middle school and high school students with one of our yearly awards, the New Voices Award. This entry-FREE award recognizes writing talent in young authors. For more information about e-publishing, e-books, our contests or EPIC in general, please visit our site at http://www.epicauthors.com

My Interests

Writing! See a pattern here?

I'd like to meet:

Readers and other authors/industry professionals... People who are interested in e-publishing or e-books.

Music:

Whatever matches the scenes we're writing that day! I have a couple of votes for "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles.

Television:

Who wants to watch TV, when you can read a book? Okay...Dr. Who is very worthy. I have to admit that.

Books:

E-BOOKS! For more information on what is available in e-book, visit
