MaryStella2010A voracious book fan since first learning to read, Mary Stella fell in love with romance novels while pursuing her English degree decades ago. A professional writer since someone first paid her to write radio commercials while she was still in college, she always dreamed of writing a book someday. Eventually, she realized that a book wouldn't spring fully written from her brain so she'd better get cracking.

All Keyed Up, a humorous contemporary romance set at a dolphin facility in the Florida Keys with a determined researcher and a stubborn DEA agent, was her debut novel, originally published in print format a few years ago.Key of Sea, published a year later, proves that an ex-trophy wife can create a new life for herself, find love again with a hot younger man, and successfully battle land crabs.

Consequentially, this lead to his stay in the luxurious NC-DOC where through a lot of retrospection he developed a strategy to defeat what he had become. Through the guidance of the Aryan Brotherhood and the variety of other hardened criminals he played cards with he focused his energy into developing his skills as a writer to keep the youth from making the same mistakes he did. If he can open just one pair of eyes through his writing, everything he's put into these pages would have paid off.

Debra Burroughs grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area during a tumultuous time when the Civil Rights Movement was gearing up and racial tensions were mounting. Her parents moved the family to a more peaceful small town in the Central Valley of California.

Over the years, with a large Mexican family, she heard many stories about their history, particularly from her mother and grandmother. As she would relay these colorful and heart-wrenching family stories to her friends, many times she would hear them say, "You should really write a book about that."

After continual encouragement and gentle prodding from her husband, she finally decided to do it. Now that their children are grown and gone, Debra has found a quiet place to write in their home in Boise, Idaho.

She Had No Choice is her second novel.

What books have most influenced your life most?

The first book that really warped me into its world was a young adolescence book, Fury and the Mustangs by Albert G. Miller. As a young girl, I loved being pulled into that world, and it fascinated me that mere words on a page had that sort of power.

Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness also had a very strong impact on me. It was while reading that novel that I first became aware of the layers of meaning hidden in the text. I felt like I had gained x-ray vision! This was the book that truly opened me up to the wondrous complexity and insights woven into a literary piece

About Fritz Sprandel

Fritz Sprandel was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and grew up in Allentown, Pennsylvania with his mother and two older brothers. Unfortunately, his family often didn't realize his potential or affirm his value. Fritz's brothers would bait him with dares that Fritz took them up on, which meant he was always in trouble. He was definitely the black sheep of the family.

Besides thriving on dares, Fritz spent most of his working life as a sales coordinator with Keller Marine and RV Distributors in Port Trevorton, Pennsylvania. Now retired, Fritz fills his days writing about his many adventures, playing golf, studying the Bible, and driving part time for the limousine division of Bieber Transportation Company of Kutztown, Pennsylvania "to pay for the golf."

Adventure on a DareAdventure on a DARE is the first in a series of true-life accounts describing Fritz T. Sprandel's journey into himself in which he discovers his capricious nature and
