Assaph Mehr
It Takes A Village
Rainbows Aren’t Just for Unicorns
Assaph has had his nose in a book since he was five, so it wasn’t surprising that he turned to writing. All those years reading on ancient Rome, sci-fi, fantasy, and mysteries while practicing various martial arts, travelling the world, and working odd jobs lead to some interesting combinations in his stories.
Assaph is one of regular published authors – see his works here.

Cindy is a multi-genre writer. Escape the everyday with time travel action adventure novels, scifi and fantasy stories or tranquil scenes for relaxation. Every book is a portal to a new world. Worlds where the heroines don’t wait to be rescued, and the heroes earn that title the hard way.

Her novels are available on Amazon.
