Her best-selling books, ‘Secrets of a Nun: My Story,’ ‘The Silver Woman of Fire,’ and ‘The Shaman and The Mafia,’ helped set Elizabeth Upton firmly on the world’s literary map. With many novels to her credit, she released a new book in June 2022 titled ‘Lovers’ Secrets and Revenge, which is book three of ‘The John Callahan novel series.’

Elizabeth’s favorite she enjoyed writing was ‘The Shaman and The Mafia,’ as she shares, “The creation of this story has been an exciting journey. If possible, I would love to meet all of the characters in this book in real life.” Elizabeth’s books and novels are available on Amazon online and Barnes & Noble and featured on fine literary book sites.

Elizabeth was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA., until the age of sixteen, when she entered a New York State Convent and became a nun for twenty years, but she yearned for a more authentic spiritual life. Elizabeth left the convent and chose to attend and receive her B.A. from Syracuse University.

Returning to her native state of California, she attended and received her M.A. in psychology from Chapman University. The Author began working for over thirty years in family counseling as a social worker and probation officer, working with troubled teens and abused children. She is a speaker, spiritual mentor, and advisor.

A “Meet and Greet” While Catching Up With Award-Winning Author Candace Gish As She Shares Special Kindles Deals 4 Entrepreneurial Divas and Much More. . .

Hello Readers. . .

Have you met Candace Gish?
She is this fabulous diva who wears many hats as an award-winning author, writer, compiler, podcast host, anthologist and so much more?



Here is what Candace shares about who she is & Cat will share more! 💞😺


My name is Candace Gish, I’m a motivator and empowering change agent who understands the challenges women face while finding success in their everyday lives and businesses. I am an advocate for mentorship and strong, supportive networks.

My four daughters and wonderful husband have inspired me to create a better world, thus the Divas That Care Network was born. I enjoy connecting with goal-oriented women and a commitment to make a difference. I believe in the power of women converging to implement change and have ensured that the purpose of the Divas That Care movement quantifies just that.

I created the Divas That Care Network because I am the mother of four beautiful girls who look to me to model the hope and countless opportunities that lie in their futures. I recognize and salute the power that a true DIVA holds. A strong, informed, and empowered woman is a force to be reckoned with and admired”. . . ~Candace Gish

Novelist Kim Carter is a multi-award-winning author and critically acclaimed writer of gripping suspense, chilling thrillers, and haunting historical mysteries.

Ms. Carter is widely known for her vibrant characters in her Clara and Iris Mystery series, a couple of overly curious widows who turn into private investigators. These funny women were inspired by Kim’s mother and her mom’s best friend. Book one of this series, Murder Among The Tombstones, was chosen Finalist for the 2018 Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Award and a recipient of the 2017 TCK Publishers’ Readers’ Choice Award.

Ms. Carter’s Mysteries and literary works include Sweet Dreams, Baby Belle, When Dawn Never Comes, Deadly Odds (chosen Editor’s Pick in Books Shelf Magazine in 2022), No Second Chances, ‘And The Forecast Called For Rain,’ and ‘Dark Secrets of the Bayou, and her new ‘A Clara and Iris Mystery titled ‘The Root Of All Evil in Feb. 2024.”Dark Secrets of The Bayou” has been awarded a Reader’s Favorite Editorial 5-Star Review, also chosen #1 Finalist for Best Historical Mystery from Reader’s Favorite 2021 book awards, and was awarded a 2021 Killer Nashville Finalist for The Silver Falchion Awards. In 2022, “Bayou” was chosen by The Author Shout book awards as a Recommended Reads.

All of Kim’s novels can be purchased online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, BAM, and Indie Bound. Kim’s writing career started after she suffered an illness that made her housebound for a couple of years. An avid reader of mystery novels herself, she embarked on writing to fill her time. Kim’s health struggles and successes have been chronicled on Lifetime Television in early 2000, The Atlanta-Journal Constitution, Women’s Day Magazine, and Guidepost.

Now, with eight acclaimed mystery titles to her credit, Kim worked in many different capacities in county government. Still, her job as a correctional officer ultimately offered her opportunities to talk and interact with a diverse group of people. Her experiences run the gamete from inspiring success stories to tragic endings as she writes within her mysteries.

Kim began networking and connected with numerous homicide detectives, medical examiners, and prison officials. Her research has taken her to many places, including morgues, death row, and the occasional midnight visit to cemeteries to gain material for her novels.

Kim is a Saint Leo University college graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology. When she is not writing, she enjoys gardening, is an avid reader, and is a proud mother of four beautiful grown children; she currently resides in both Biloxi and Atlanta, Georgia.

Early ARC And BETA Reader Reviews

“Kim Carter, the Queen of mystery thrillers, is at the top of her game in her new novel. Die-hard fans won’t be disappointed, and new readers will be converted to her world.”
– Shaun Sinclair, author, publisher, actor, screenwriter, and executive producer

“Kim Carter does it again, sending her two senior lady private eyes out to prove age is not a deterrent to good old-fashioned sleuthing. From the first page, the author skillfully weaves her characters together with humor and imagination, resulting in a gripping but delightful mystery.”
– Barbara Daniels Dena, award-winning author of The Soul Series, a collection of short stories.


The dazzling golden sleuths, Clara and Iris, and the rest of their crew are at it again. I’m glad that Quita is back, and we can see her growth into a ‘Boss.’ The Root Of All Evil has a cleverly woven plot and a splendid touch of humor, making it the perfect escape.
Novelist Kim Carter did not disappoint us, as she’s masterfully crafted a dynamic ‘whodunit’ that will provide the thrill of uncovering hidden truths and the real suspects! This book is a silent orchestration of suspense, pulling us into a dance with the unknown. Every twist in this intricate tapestry of intrigue conceals another layer of deception, dysfunction, and love.
– Lissha Sadler, Founder of Visions and Books and Hardcore Grind Magazine

Congrats To Our Author, Deb Morgan, For A New In-Depth Autumn Author Spotlight By All Author!


Happy To Share A New In-Depth Author Interview By “All Author” (dot) Com, Where Readers Connect With Amazing Authors and Find Unique Books To Read…

 ~ DEBRA MORGAN AUTHOR, WRITER, ADVOCATE


“SNIPPET”

“Debra Morgan is an extraordinary American author, advocate, and influential non-fiction writer whose books offer real-life journeys through the realms of Addiction, Fibromyalgia, Chronic pain, and Mental health. Deb’s debut book, “Graceful Agony,” reflects her passion for helping others by providing support and understanding through their struggles.

Residing in Chandler, Arizona, she stands as a beacon of hope and support for those seeking solace and strength in their own battles.”



What is one lesser-known fact about your childhood?

I started drinking at 12 years of age. I had much young abuse, so my party days started before there was a party.


Moving back to Arizona to be closer to your grown children and grandchildren shows the importance of family to you. How has their support and presence in your life contributed to your healing and growth?

It can be hard to measure the support from your children; they do not like to see me getting older, and they have such a busy life that I recognize it instead of expecting it anymore. My Grandchildren are my heart.

I spend weekends with them in order of age as much as I can. I have six, still young enough, but they all love being with me, which makes my heart feel good. I feel better being around them…
