Carmen Ferreiro Esteban
Carmen was born in Northern Spain and grew up among the misty mountains of Galicia, the land of rolling hills and green valleys surrounded by ocean, believed in medieval times to be 'Finisterre,' the place where the world came to an end. She attained her Ph.D. in biology from the Universidad Autónoma in Madrid, and went on to work as a postdoctoral researcher at universities and government institutions in both Spain and the United States.
Beate Boeker
Beate is a fellow Avalon Writer and a cyber friend. We've never met face to face since Beate lives in Germany and I live in the U.S. However, thanks to the wonder of the internet, we've become friends and have exchanged books. I hope you enjoy this sampling of Take My Place as much as I enjoyed the entire book. It's a perfect summer read.

Kelly Jameson
Kelly wrote her first novel, Dead On, under a pen name (Anne Kelly). She decided to use her real name for her next novel, Shards of Summer, and for the short stories which have appeared in numerous publications both here and abroad. Everything I’ve read by Kelly has surprised me in some way. That’s one of the reasons I look forward to any new work of hers. Her latest novel, Shards of Summer, is an intricate story evoking the life of a New Jersey beach resort in the 1940’s and the present day.
