The Afterglow Reviewers!


Pu Aili

I have read many, varied books ranging from political thrillers, to fantasy, to Christian fiction, and ending up somewhere around books about the afterlife and psychology. I currently live in the beautiful state of Hawaii (yes it is as gorgeous as everyone says) with my amazing husband. Writing is a hobby for me, not a career option, and reading is a passion.

(hard to do).
I am also currently seeking publication.




   Shallee McArthur
I write YA science fiction, and spend far too much time doing that and far too little time doing housework. When I'm not writing, I'm chasing my over-active one-year-old around the house while he giggles like an evil villain. I have a BA in English from BYU, and live in Utah with my husband  and son. My reading preferences are eclectic, but I am always a fan of fantasy, sci fi, YA, historical fiction, urban fantasy...and pretty much anything that's well written! You can find me on my website, blog, Twitter, Facebook, and Goodreads.


I love books—my all time favorites include ENDER’S GAME (Orson Scott Card), THE LAST UNICORN (Peter Beagle), HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN (JK Rowling), and ANNE OF GREEN GABLES (LM Montgomery). I write contemporary YA and MG fiction. You can find me on Twitter (@KristineAsselin), my website, or my blog. I'm also on Facebook and Goodreads!


Matthew MacNish

I've always loved reading and writing, but only recently decided to pursue publication. I blog about the mishaps that come from doing so with little more than utter ignorance at The QQQE blog. You can also find me on The Facebook, and Twitter.


Sophia Chang
An article in Psychology Today said staying up late is an evolutionary adaptation signaling intelligence.  I'm gonna go with that.  That and my book addiction.

I  write mostly YA fantasy and I sing with the Harvard Yardbirds, an alumni a capella group.  Though raised a New Yorker, I can't escape SoCal.  I have a fondness for pitbulls.  And I still like vampire books.

I love owls, drink coffee like a champ, read and write (mostly) YA fiction, and talk about all of those things to pretty much anyone who will listen. Recently, I figured out how to make crepes. (I'm crepe-tastic at it, by the way.) Rainy days are my absolute favorite; and a recent book that really stuck with me (not YA) is AN OWL ON EVERY POST by Sanora Babb. My debut book, PITY ISN'T AN OPTION, was released in February.

Autumn Haeberle Mulverhill

Hi there. We don't know each other, so let's chat. I'll start.

I love to read. LOVE IT. I also love to write, but up until now have been kind of closeted about it.  I'm 35, happily married, and mom to a two-year-old-blue-eyed-tornado-girl. I love yoga, plants/gardening, teaching, singing, and learning new things. I am a Psych major currently out of school, have three fat tomcats, and avidly collect both insects and stamps. Oh, and I have a propensity to break toes on my right foot. 

As for my literary interests, I am extremely eclectic. When I am not reading a recommended book, I find I tend to lean towards YA, Mysteries, Classics, and anything from my much beloved Sci-Fi novelist, Neil Gaiman. 

I hope we can be good friends. Feel free to connect with me on Goodreads, Facebook, or at my dust covered blog (For blog invitations, you can email me at: bugchiquita at gmail dot com.)
