Donna Hughes (k.m.bullock) I’ve
written and illustrated children’s materials for over twenty years,
publishing five original picture books with Simon & Schuster, and
illustrating many books for other authors. I currently work for an
educational publisher where I’ve illustrated well over 100 books. I’ve just
finished writing my first juvenile historical novel, and a juvenile fantasy
is in the works. My year as a Muser at The MuseItUp Club has been enormously
enjoyable because of the wonderful people I’ve met online and the
opportunity afforded to learn from other writers. I especially appreciate
the chance to dig deep and write for adults once in a while. Charles Mossop lives on the east coast of Vancouver Island with his wife, Louise. His hobbies, which he enjoys when he is not writing, are gardening, sailing and playing classical and folk guitar. He retired in 2000 after a thirty-two-year career in post-secondary education which had afforded him numerous opportunities to travel throughout Asia and Europe. Charles holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in anthropology with Asian studies. Charles writes
and publishes non-fiction articles and interviews on international business
and education, but his first love is historical fiction. He is the author of
the Magistrate Lin Mysteries set in Ming Dynasty China, and the Captain
Square Mysteries, set in the British Navy of the eighteenth century. His
stories have appeared in Flashshot, Over my Dead Body and
Futures Mystery Anthology Magazine. He is editor and columnist for the
