Hromic (who now writes as Alma Alexander) was born in 1963 in Novi Sad, Yugoslavia, on the shores of the river Danube. Her father's employment with international aid agencies meant that the family spent twenty years living in various countries in Africa, including Zambia, Swaziland, and South Africa. Educated in the United Kingdom and South Africa, Alma graduated from the University of Cape Town with an MSc in Microbiology in 1987. She quickly left the lab in order to write about it instead, and spent several years running a scientific journal for the Allergy Society of South Africa before she moved to New Zealand in 1994. She also worked as a literary critic for several publications in South Africa and England. In New Zealand, she obtained an editorial position with an international educational publisher, where she worked for several years. In 1995 she wrote Houses in Africa (David Ling Publishing Limited, New Zealand; ISBN 0-908990-30-8), a revealing and often-amusing memoir of her two decades in Africa. The same year, she published The Dolphin's Daughter and Other Stories (Longman UK; ISBN 0582122104), a bestselling book of three fables. She has had numerous pieces of short fiction and nonfiction published internationally in South Africa, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. http://www.almaalexander.com00:30:00crsgorleynoWriter,Books,Author,Fiction,Alma AlexanderAlma A.

He graduated Queens College in 1968 with a BA in economics and education and licenses to teach mathematics and history. He then worked for nine years as a New York City mathematics teacher. While teaching he studied at New York University and in 1971 was awarded an MBA in marketing. He began work on a PhD in marketing when inspiration struck and he wrote his first book, A LITTLE AT A TIME (Random House, 1976). Suddenly his focus changed from marketing to writing. In 1973 he married Renee Hamada, a psychologist, and in 1977 their first child, Michael was born. By that time David had written several books. He was granted a child-care leave from teaching and while Renee continued her work, David stayed home, took care of Michael, and wrote in earnest. It was during his first year on leave that he wrote CAM JANSEN AND THE MYSTERY OF THE STOLEN DIAMONDS. David's ANDY RUSSELL series was inspired by another family member and the many adventures the family had with his enthisiasm and his pets. http://www.davidaadler.com 00:30:00crsgorleynoAuthor,Writer,Literature,David Adler,BooksDavid was born April 10, 1947.

Thao Huynh's text, the Fate is an autobiographical tour de force encompassing the geopolitical and historical events. The authors account is both rich and vibrant, as well as at times, extremely poignant. She writes, Contrary to popular belief, feudalism-characterizing family relationships still exists and bring repression and anguish to the women who suffer this fate. Her poetic way of writing envelops the reader. The tears have already been dried. I was just like a dead tree standing defiantly in the open air suffering from rain and shine, wind and tempest, but surprisingly refusing to collapse.00:30:00crsgorleynoBiography,Author,Non-Fiction,SaltCity Books,The FateThao Huynh joins us to discuss THE FATE.
