From a young age the necessity of travel has always been a large part of my life. Therefore I’ve spent a lot of time on the road, in hotel lobbies, airport terminals, train stations, restaurants, and clubs. I’ve always enjoyed meeting people from different cultures and all walks of life. To quote Will Rogers, “I’ve never met a man I didn’t like.” Everything I’ve learned about them has become fodder for my writing. I’ve found inspiration from the … [Read more...]
Cameron Bane Describes a Vegetable that Will Give You Nightmares
Years ago when we lived in the sticks we grew our own veggies, including okra. While it's admittedly an acquired taste (the slime inside will eventually cook out), if you let the pods get no bigger than the first joint of your thumb they can add a tasty texture to soups and stews.

Author Spotlight: John Robinson (aka Cameron Bane)
This week's featured author is John Robinson (aka Cameron Bane).

Cameron Bane Brings His Brand of Suspense Thriller To WildBlue Press With the John Brenner Series
Cameron Bane is the pen-name for an author who has written several other thrillers but has chosen to now write under this nom de plume. We asked him, why the change? "A few years ago I wrote a couple inspirational novels that sold well, but don't really reflect my style now.
