For the A to Z Challenge, I will be featuring up to three
authors per letter (via their last name). Some of the authors responded to my
request for authors to promote. Others, I found. Please check them out and
their books. Thank you!
Our "S" Authors
Salnikova, Natasha A.
Natasha
A. Salnikova was born in ex-Soviet Kazakhstan where she wrote and hosted two TV
shows. At the age of 24 she moved to Moscow (Russia) to chase her screenwriting
dream. Soon she became a writer for the national prime-time talk show “Tema”
and soon also was writing for national sitcoms and dramas. At that time a
publisher hired her to adapt a popular TV series into a novel, and Natasha
realized that she could fulfill her writer’s hunger better with novels rather
that TV scripts.
In
Moscow Natasha met an American writer and traveler and in 2001 she made a big
decision and moved to America to be with him, leaving behind her career and
family. They married in 2001 and she started to build her American dream. She
had acting roles in TV commercials, shot photographs for a Knopf/Random House
travel guide, studied English and kept wiring.
In
2005 Natasha and her husband invited into their lives two beautiful girls.
Currently
Natasha lives in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with her kids and her husband.

San Thomas, André
André SanThomas writes erotic romance stories about gloriously
submissive females at the feet of delightfully dominant men. She spins a
world where women can choose to submit or choose to walk away.
As a seat of the pants writer, there is no telling where her
characters may take her once they come to life on the page. Wherever it
is, she is destined to go, providing only suggestions and guidance,
following their lead. That may take her to high-rise in a major metro
area, or a mansion on a mountaintop, or even to another world where
women are owned as property. Whatever the setting, the common thread is
the relationship between the characters and the lust and passion they
explore.
Her current books include Ielle, Ovia and Eanna, the first three books in the Realm of Janos Series, as well as Sensual Submission: Driven. All available at Amazon.

Stickler, Stephen
Steven Stickler is no rocket scientist. He will never be confused with a professional athlete. He is not (despite widespread rumors) the actor who played Cousin Oliver in The Brady Bunch, nor was he a guest drummer for the Beatles during a brief period in the mid-1960s. He is something completely different: a writer. He began writing when he was five years of age and, perhaps due to an oversight by those in positions of authority, was never told to stop. Aside from the occasional story written for his son, he has spent most of his adult life writing non-fiction essays and reports for adults who enjoy spending their days in meetings, classrooms, and libraries. The Absolutely Amazing Adventures of Agent Auggie Spinoza is his first, but hopefully not his last, novel for children and young adults. He lives in the great Pacific Northwest of the United States, where he enjoys exploring the outdoors with his family and, of course, reading at least one book by Dr. Seuss every year. A “stickler” for secrecy, he has never allowed his face to be captured on film and fears that we have already revealed too much in this simple biography.
