Craig Martelle – your host for the 20Books London conference

Retired Marine, lawyer, and recluse Alaskan who breaks free from his sub-Arctic shell every now and then to meet with his favorite people – fellow authors! Craig writes science fiction, mostly with a post-apocalyptic slant. Craig hit the $50k mark with his 19th book, without a single breakout title, although he’s had a number of books wear Amazon’s bestseller tag, albeit briefly. He calls himself the blue collar author and claims that quantity has a quality all its own. Craig has an extensive back list and a growing group of fans. At least that’s what he tells himself. The most important thing we can do as authors is give back in some way, whether through social lessons in our prose or helping others reach the next level in their journey as professional authors.

Michael Anderle

With Zero experience in Indie Publishing (and practically zero experience writing a novel) Michael has surprised both himself, his readers and the pundits that wish he would shut the hell up about his opinions.
Basically, because he chose to do things differently and those ideas had the audacity to work.
Now, a year and a half later, Michael is spending a lot of time on the Amazon’s top 100 Authors list for total sales. Many of his personal books, and those he has collaborated with open to top 100 and / or BestSelling status in many competitive genre’s including Science Fiction Apocalyptic & Dystopian, Science Fiction Space Opera, Science Fiction Genetics, Paranormal Vampires / Werewolves, YA Fantasy and Horror.
Soon, he will be releasing books in new genres, testing the truth of some more rules we all accept to be true and seeing if he can create an additional universe.

Michael (M.D.) Cooper

Michael Cooper likes to think of himself as a jack of all trades (and hopes to become master of a few). When not writing he can be found writing software, working in his shop at his latest carpentry project, or likely reading a book. He shares his home with a precocious young girl, his wonderful wife (who also writes), two cats, a never-ending list of things he would like to build, and ideas…
Abby Lynn Knorr

A Canadian spending summers in the Rockies and winters anywhere that it’s not minus freeze-your-brains-out, Abby’s life has transformed from one of corporate employee in 2015 to one of a full-time transient writer. Having harboured the dream of writing her entire life, and unsure what to do after quitting her job and moving to Italy, learning how much Amazon had transformed the book market made the decision for her. It was time to be an author. There has been no looking back.
