Jeremy Robinson

Jeremy Robinson - Bestselling author of the 2005 print-on-demand hit, The Didymus Contingency, Robinson is quickly becoming one of the hot names in action/adventure writing. We are proud to be publishing his next two books, POD People - Beating the Print-On-Demand Stigma (a non-fiction title) and Raising The Past, Robinson's second novel.

Robinson's career as a writer started out in comic books with several stints on indie comics. After that he wrote screenplays, several of which were produced, optioned or in development (including the screenplay version of The Didymus Contingency).

His switch to book writing came with The Screenplay Workbook (2003 Lone Eagle Publishing). He has written four novels to date with another on the way and we here at Breakneck hope to publish as many as we get our hands on before William Morrow, Tor/Forge or Penguin Putnam pick him up!

An excerpt from Breakneck's interview with Robinson.

BREAKNECK: Hobbies?

ROBINSON: I guess my biggest hobby would be gaming. I host game nights at my brother's computer store, Thinking Machine, every Friday and Saturday night. I'm really into real time strategy and first person shooters like Starcraft, Rise of Legends, Unreal Tournament 2004 and FEAR. Other than that, I went to school for art so painting and drawing are what I do to relax and vent. Few things are better than drawing while watching a Godzilla flick. I'm also in love with the ocean. The mere scent of it bolsters me. As a result I love boating and exploring New England's coastal islands. They're mysterious and full of interesting history. Lastly, I have a small, but growing fossil collection. Few things inspire me more than looking at teeth the size of my hand. Ouch!

BREAKNECK: Those are big teeth. What are the from?

ROBINSON: The big one is a Megalodon tooth. Megalodon's are prehistoric sharks...the largest predators in the history of the planet. The smaller, about the size of my thumb is from a Kronosaurus, the largest prehistoric marine reptile. For those who read Steve Alton, you can see why I'm a fan!

Sean Young

Sean Young started writing in the late 1990's. After spending the best part of a decade as a lead singer in a Rock band, he found himself frustrated after the group split in 1997. For over a year, Sean's need for a creative outlet burned within him. The out came through his idea for a novel.

He threw his all into the project. Working in his spare time and over weekends he compiled his first draft and, three years later, Violent Sands was born.

Sean is a software developer by profession. He lives in Johannesburg, South Africa, with his wife, Carolyn, and daughter, Danielle. He has no lions, tigers or any other dangerous Wildlife in his garden - apart from a vicious sparrow that fights with the mirrors on his wife's Volkswagen. He loves the African bush and spends his holidays and weekends visiting the many wildlife and nature reserves his country has to offer.

He can be reached at:  sean_young(at)dreamcoatpublishing.com or through his website: www.dreamcoatpublishing.com.

Soon after, the novel developed and Daniel penned a number of the book's later chapters.

Daniel works for a government contractor and currently lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, with his wife and their psychotic cat.  Readers are invited to explore more of his universe at www.danielbrenton.com.
