Let the author chat begin!
Welcome to the Like a Treasure Found author chat! Today (Friday) through Sunday, many of the authors featured in the anthology will be stopping by to chat, answer questions, and share excerpts-and who knows what else?
I’ll be giving away a copy of the anthology to one lucky, randomly chosen commenter. The winner will be announced on Monday morning, so don’t forget to check back!

He is a writer of fantasy, sci-fi, and adventure fiction who especially loves classic pulp genre fiction like Lovecraft, Howard, Burroughs, and (Clark Ashton) Smith. He and his wife Amanda Gannon are currently making a go of living off their writing at www.adventurotica.com, where their serialized adventure stories steam up the web three times a week. He is an amateur metalsmith, historian, and lover of bad monster movies, as well as an infamous gamemaster.

Diane Kepler (diane_kepler), author of "Of Great Renown"

Bernie Mojzes (brni), author of "On Arid Seas"
It all started with a throwaway comment on the idea of Alice in Wonderland themed erotica - "You know, caterpillars could be the new cephalopods." That story, Bernie's first published erotic work, appears in Circlet Press' Like a Vorpal Blade. It was a quick ride to Depravity from there; Circlet is also publishing his stories in Like a Treasure Found and Whispers in Darkness. It's not all naughty bits, of course. Bernie's also got a short, illustrated book entitled The Evil Gazebo, and short stories out or forthcoming in a variety of magazines and anthologies, including Daily Science Fiction, Crossed Genres, In an Iron Cage, Dead Souls, and Spells & Swashbucklers. In his copious free time, he co-edits The Journal of Unlikely Entomology. For more sordid details, please feel free to visit www.kappamaki.com.

She lives in Bristol, UK, where she works in the violence against women and girls field.
Kaysee Renee Robichaud (kayseerenee), author of "A Shelter From All Storms"

Her stories will also appear in the upcoming anthologiesLike a Cunning Plan, and Sense and Sensuality.
And I'm Joy Crelin, editor of this fine anthology.

When not editing Circlet publications such as Like a Treasure Found and Like Tooth and Claw, among others, she edits proprietary content for EBSCO Publishing.
