Shawn McGuire loves creating characters and places her fans want to return to again and again. (She’s lost track of how many times readers have told her they wished they could move to Whispering Pines. Shawn does too!) She chooses topics for her mysteries she’s curious about. This not only makes research even more fun, it satisfies her desire to always be learning something.
When not writing, Shawn enjoys going on long motorcycle rides with her husband and traveling. She’s very much a homebody, though, so fills her days with reading, hiking, doing yoga, baking, watching British television mysteries, and nibbling really dark chocolate.
Shawn’s first job at age thirteen was cleaning her dad’s offices. Writing has been a passion since that time, but she’d never thought it could be a career until later in life. To this day, she wonders how she thought all those books got on the shelves at libraries and bookstores! Until she figured it out, she worked at a pizza parlor, department store, as a receptionist, fast food manager, fabric store manager, and payroll manager. The best job she ever held, aside from author, was stay-at-home mom to her two sons, a position she held for eighteen years.
She was born in San Antonio, Texas and grew up in the beautiful Mississippi River town of Winona, Minnesota. After graduating college, she moved to the Milwaukee area of Wisconsin, where she lived for more than twenty years. After ten years in Colorado, she's back in Wisconsin.

Sue Duff was born in Chicago, IL but grew up in Phoenix, AZ. She dreamed of dragons and spaceships before she could read and combines Fantasy and SciFi in her breakout series, The Weir Chronicles.

Kristi Helvig is a Ph.D. clinical psychologist turned sci-fi/fantasy author. Her debut sci-fi novel, BURN OUT (Egmont USA/Lerner Publishing), was called “a scorching series opener not to be missed” by Kirkus Reviews. Her latest book, KILLER POINTE (Dark Edge Publishing) is an urban fantasy involving a teen who plans to fund her dreams of Juilliard School for dance in this world by serving as an assassin in a parallel fairy tale world. Kristi muses about Star Trek, space monkeys, and other assorted topics at www.kristihelvig.com and on Twitter (@KristiHelvig). Kristi resides in sunny Colorado with her hubby, two kiddos, and behaviorally-challenged dogs.
Corinne O'Flynn is a USA Today bestselling author of fantasy, mystery, and paranormal romance. She's a native New Yorker living in Colorado who wouldn’t trade life in the Rockies for anything. When not writing, she can be found hanging with family, playing board games, knitting, reading, or binge watching some fabulous shows (while sipping tea).
International bestselling author Wendy M. Barnhart (formerly Wendy Terrien) received her first library card at age two, and a few years later started writing her own stories.
Her debut novel, The Rampart Guards (February 2016), earned a Kirkus starred review and was named to Kirkus Reviews’ Best Books of 2016. Next in her series are Jason’s book two - The League of Governors (August 2017), and Sadie’s book two - The Clan Calling (August 2017), both award winners. Book three in the series (and the fourth physical book) is The Forge of Bonds (February 2020).
Wendy graduated from the University of Utah (go Utes!) and relocated to Colorado where she completed her MBA at the University of Denver. She focused her marketing expertise on the financial and technology industries until a career coach stepped in and reminded Wendy of her passion for writing. Inspired, Wendy leaped and began attending writers’ conferences, workshops, and retreats, and the storytelling hasn’t stopped since.
She is on the board of Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers, and is a member of Pikes Peak Writers, the Colorado Authors’ League, and the Author’s Guild.
Wendy lives in the Denver area with her furry family members. She’s team dark chocolate, a fan of technology, and believes every dose of nature nurtures the soul. Wendy is also committed to promoting pet adoption from rescues or shelters. If you’re in Colorado, you may even spot her “Adopt a Shelter Pet” license plate.

My collection of anthologies has tripled in the last year and Tick Tock: Seven Tales of Time is a perfect example of why.
There are seven short stories all based on a theme; in this case, time. I was originally going to post just a mini review, but each of the stories are so good and so unique, I need to touch on each separately:
Suicide High (Corinne O'Flynn) - Rather good take on the traditional ghost story. A student who can see spirits--and the specters know it. It's a good old fashioned 'who dun nit' as well, all pulled of nicely.
Countdown Cafe (Kristi Helvig) - The tactile sense of this story was, well, palatable. I felt everything that happened. Saw where this one was heading, but didn't care, it was that good. Finished it while in a bakery, funny enough.
Jesse's Girl (Rebecca Taylor) - This evil little story scared the living crap out of me. Every wake up and not know where you are or what you've done? Awesome stuff...
Duo'ver (Sue Duff) - The first Science Fiction entry. Hated the female character at first, but that's what makes the transformation so much more impactful. A little slow at first, but grabbed me for the entire ride.
The Door (Shawn McGuire) - A spooky tale that follows the choices of the main character. You'll never look at a door quite the same way again.
The Fate Stone (Wendy Terrien) - Asylum stories always freak me out--I grew up near a massive (and abandoned) insane asylum, so I approached this one with a bit of trepidation. Then suddenly, it was over. This story is a rollercoaster...!
Untimely (A.G. Henley) - Ah. The Time Travel Story. Was expecting this one, and it did not disappoint! Like The Fate Stone, this is a fast-paced, wonderful tale that seamlessly spans timeframes. Great anchor story and a marvelous way to end the anthology.
This is a marvelous set of stories by wonderful authors. I have since picked up additional works from the scribes...and I haven't been disappointed yet. Neither will you.
