L.B. Andrews
Lowell Brent (Andy) Andrews grew up in Fairview, Alabama, where he lived for 18 years.
LB joined the US Air Force in 1969 during the Vietnam War, meeting his beautiful wife
of forty years, Paulette, while stationed at Charleston AFB, South Carolina. He holds an
Associate’s degree in Applied Science from Wallace State College in Hanceville, Ala.
Since 1976, LB and Paulette have lived on Florida’s west coast in Pinellas County, where
Paulette worked for the Sheriff’s Department while LB worked for General Electric as an
Instrumentation Specialist before starting up his own business just after September 11,
2001.
But these days, LB has turned from writing high-tech reports to writing high-fiction
tales. “More fun,” he claims.
Several of LB’s tales are set in the Clearwater Beach / Tampa Bay area. The setting for
his newest novel titled Kill Bonnie is the sleepy Tampa suburb of Brandon, Florida. Kill
Bonnie will be available July 1st 2011 at the Kindle store for $4.99, and can be
purchased for other eBook readers at Smashwords.com. Kill Bonnie is the intriguing
story of sixty-two year old Betty Martin and her lifelong quest to avenge the crimes
committed against her family by Bonnie Simms, her childhood friend turned nemesis.
Nature Ride, a novella and LB’s first published work, is available at the Kindle store for
$2.99. It’s the story of soon to be twelve years old Jeremy Jenkins and family who brave
the heart-stopping and mysterious thrill ride everyone at school is yapping about.
Jeremy and family soon learn they are the first – and might be the last – to ride the
spookiest thrill ride conceived by man (or by the Devil himself). Nature Ride is a non-
stop, hair-raising thriller that’s simply perfect for the entire family.
LB Andrews has just begun to tell tall tales. He’s turned off his oscilloscope and turned
on his imagination. Nature Ride and Kill Bonnie are the first two batters up. According
to the author, Scotty Lancaster’s Curveball is in the hole and next up.

Andrew Crabtree
Andrew Crabtree is a writer/producer from the suburban Midwest. Having moved to Los Angeles he has remained modest and not conformed to the self-absorbed coastal lifestyle.
Due to his modesty, he wouldn’t tell you that he is a semi-professional beard grower. He wouldn’t boast to you about how great he looks in a halter-top. He wouldn’t make off-
handed remarks about his unmatched parallel parking skills or the impressive things he can do with a kazoo. He wouldn’t say any of that. Because he’s from the Midwest, and people don’t talk like that.

Ryan Bury
From a very early age, Ryan soon learned that he loved breathing air. From that moment on, he never looked back and his lungs have been filled every second of every day. Taking this knowledge of how great oxygen is for his health, Ryan used said oxygen in his lungs to begin belting out absurdities and other ramblings to anyone who would listen. Suddenly one day, he realized that not only could he speak words, he could also write them. Alas, the written word was born. He was written everything from letters, to sentences and even a couple of paragraphs here and there and he loves when people read them from left to right. Ryan, at the ripe age of 24, currently lives in Los Angeles, CA and continuously enjoys to spread his rants and raves through writing and likes it even more when people read them.
