 There are lots of people that dream of being a writer but never put in the time to actually write. Bruce Boyers is a real writer, putting in the hard work at his craft producing words upon words which have landed everywhere from websites and blogs to promotional materials and works of fiction. His career as a freelance writer allowed him to perfect a control over the written word which most aspiring writers never achieve. Boyers took his writing skills to the next level with the creation of a science fiction world filled with spaceships and adventure but also introducing a totally unique character: a private investigator by the name of Dragon, a sci-fi Sherlock Holmes that has a passion for solving cases like Boyers' passion for writing great stories. Bruce Boyers lives in Glendale, California. At a very early age he became influenced by science fiction and the works of people like Ray Bradbury and Rod Serling. It was no surprise that he would one day return to the world of science fiction but it may have come as a surprise to many in the field that he would be starting with such a fresh, vibrant and engaging protagonist with his first published story "Cabal." With a single short story Boyers gave us one of the most bold and intelligent heroes to be added to the pantheon of science fiction in quite a while. Dragon is an intergalactic investigator that spans the galaxy solving cases that no one else can. He is a true professional, the guy you hire when you need discreetness and assurance that the job will get done. Dragon has a fantastic sidekick by the name of Parts, not human by any means but gives Dragon a reliable ally that can act more humanely than most humans. Boyers' story in "Cabal" is one of gripping momentum that forces one to turn pages because you are invested in finding out the mystery and solving the case right along with Dragon. He stays ahead of the reader, never taking an obvious path but instead leads you straight into unforeseen territory filled with excitement and very big payoffs. "Cabal" is currently available with more Dragon Intergalactic Crime Chronicles soon to be published in a book. If you are a fan of the very best of science fiction tales and enjoy the stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, you have a very rewarding trip to take with Bruce Boyers. Enjoy the ride!

 Catherine Weaver grew up in Northern California and decided to use the inspiration of the Golden State's landscape to create an entirely new universe for readers. It has its own alternate history of California filled with griffins, amazons, magicians, and leprechauns. Weaver manages to connect this alternate universe to our own in the pages of her book "Gold Dust" which successfully gives middle readers a tale packed with imaginative and magical themes. Her writing has managed to weave together one of the most original stories to come around in quite a long time and although written for a younger audience, readers of all ages will find something to take away from this adventurous world sprung from the mind of a California dreamer.
Weaver's family ties to California stretch back five generations and many members of her family were or are writers, poets and artists. From a young age she discovered works like "The Lord of the Rings," "Stranger in a Strange Land," "1,001 Arabian Nights" and others which set her on a creative path. She received professional training in music, theater and dance which resulted in her ability to play the trumpet, sing in choir, perform Shakespeare, dance in any style and is also a professionally trained mime. Through it all she recognized her skill to tell a story and added writing to her long list of artistic credentials. One day while marveling at the beauty of her native California she realized there was a lack of stories which took place in the culturally and story rich state. Catherine Weaver saw a hole and she immediately set out to fill it and lucky for us she planted a story as equally rich in flavor as the landscape which inspired it.
"Gold Dust" is the story of Alex Lee, a young girl with her attention on homework, boys and her recently changed mother. Alex's mom is completely lifeless when she comes home from work and her normal cheerful self when she calls home from work. Alex is clueless as to the cause and one day meets a leprachaun named Martin that injects a bit of magic into her life that leads to her discovery of an entirely different version of California that is somehow tied to her mother. Transporting herself to another world and mastering the use of magic through exercising her imagination and helping others along the way, all lead to Alex's empowerment and the betterment of two worlds because of it. The book reminds you of "Alice in Wonderland" or "The Chronicles of Narnia" in its use of transporting the main character from one world into another, yet the way it is done and all that follow are very unique. Weaver is able to make a world of griffins, leprechauns and magic seem utterly acceptable and completely appropriate to the story. She has you believing that gold does contain magical properties and that some trees have beautiful spirits living within that can carry you to a more magical version of the world you're living in.
This story is important because it offers readers the idea that the world does not have to be lifeless and dull, that instead it is filled with wonderful, magical beauty and adventure. It sparks the imagination, encourages us to be better and not only make our world better but be on the look out for other worlds. Catherine Weaver has constructed an entire fantasy world and built a bridge to it that, although newly erected, will continue to carry adventurous dreamers across for many years to come. "Gold Dust" is the first in a series of books starring Alex Lee and I am sure this gifted author will give us more magic, more imagination and through a little more gold dust, she just might start another Gold Rush in California.
