About Melissa Koberlein: www.melissakoberlein.com
Melissa Koberlein is an author and professor in eastern Pennsylvania where she lives with her husband and their two daughters. Her passion for stories comes from an imaginative childhood where every day ended with a book.
She enjoys reading and writing about the spectacular, sci-fi, technology, and romance. She embraces her geekiness and enjoys sharing it with the world. Fireflies, a young adult trilogy, melding romance and light science fiction is a fun and quirky allegory for the future of nanotechnology. She’s also written about virtual reality (Deadlock), space (Raven’s Sphere), and androids (Her newest series, Ashwater). But don’t let the sci-fi elements deter you, there’s lots of humor and heart.

Angel Allendale builds rockets and revelry in between coaching soccer and mobbing her dirt bike across desert tracks. She skateboards with her Siberian Husky in the Arizona sun between wanderlust travels. Her lived experience with bipolar disorder impassions her to write the beauty and battles of the world around her. She believes in Passion and Compassion to conquer all, having worked across four different continents to crush stigma and confront limitations.
About Bob Fedor:
Movie Muncher: Capsule Films Reviews by an Iconoclastic Engineer is a collection of short movie reviews I’ve been writing since April 2012. If I counted correctly, then there are discussions of 690 narrative feature films (i.e., “regular” movies); 130 non-fiction feature films (i.e., documentaries); 16 TV shows; and a chapter at the end with 23 of my favorite movie quotes, most, if not all, you might never have heard before. The films I’ve reviewed cover most of the history of motion pictures, with release dates from the 1920s through 2019. Slightly less than two-thirds of the films are from this century and probably better than half are independent or foreign-language movies. But I’m not a total snob—I’ve got some ‘70s drive-in exploitation films in there, also. (Being as bipartisan as possible, I keep my contradictory ideas on politics and religion out of the proceedings in all but seven or eight reviews.) If you truly love movies, then I’m sure you’ll enjoy this book.
Purchase price is a mere $9.95.
A Chicago-native, moved to Tucson almost two years ago after spending the previous twenty-seven years freezing in Minneapolis. A retired engineer with an undergraduate degree in food engineering from Purdue University, Bob holds two U.S. patents related to his work in the food industry, where he spent thirty-seven years, mostly in research and development. But his heart and first loves have always been the fine and performing arts, film, and literature. Back in Minnesota, he made two short films with a colleague that had public showings in the Twin Cities and has written a feature-length, as yet unproduced, screenplay adapted from Somerset Maugham’s Liza of Lambeth. Movie Muncher: Capsule Film Reviews by an Iconoclastic Engineer is his first (self) published book.
