					<description><![CDATA[[&#8230;] If your book centers on something specific—the Civil War, for example—are you a member of a Civil War society? Have you published any articles in historical journals? Include that.  Try not to include too much “resumé” type information–education, job history, etc. because it tends to be boring. Only include what’s relevant to the book you’re pitching. (How to Write a Terrific Author Bio) [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Firstly, thank-you for writing this. I wish I&#039;d seen it before publishing my first book! It&#039;s funny how strange and awkward it can feel writing about yourself and your work. I recently wrote a press release for my book and struggled more than I&#039;d have expected. Although I&#039;m so glad I did it. It&#039;s nice to focus on the reasons you and your book are worth writing about!! 

Also, thank-you for inviting us to share our own bios! This is the one that appears on the back of my book.There are things I&#039;d tweak, but I still like it because it truly does represent me.

&quot;Tsara Shelton is a writer of 
musings, sipper of coffee, and addict of anything story. Having learned 
life while exploring the edges of society, it&#039;s through storytelling she finds her 
footing in the world-as a mom, wife, daughter, and citizen. Tsara, her husband, and their four children live in both Texas and California.&quot;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Jim Rudnick – Bio

Enthralled by the golden age of Science Fiction, Jim has been a reader of same and counts among his SciFi author gods names like Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein, Dick, Serling, Ellison and Chandler. 

And it was this love of SciFi that turned Jim into a new hard-SF short-story writer who has won awards for his work in the past and has recently turned him into a SciFi novelist too.

Over the past 40 years of Jim’s writing career, he has published 6 non fiction books as well as being a blogger for more than five years but claiming to have written ad copy might be a mistake so we won’t mention his 20+ years of that here.

Married,with 3 wonderful children, 2 grandsons and a dog named Harley, Jim lives in Canada and owns a gold-plated snow shovel…yes, Jim is truly a Canuck, eh!]]></description>
