Born in Manchester, New Hampshire, Nancy Brewka-Clark began her writing career at a daily newspaper chain on Boston's North Shore and went on to write short stories, poetry, creative nonfiction, and drama that have been published in the U.S. and abroad. For two decades she also painted professionally under the name of Nascha, creating unique gilt bas reliefs that combined 18th century New England colonial japanning and Ukrainian folk motifs. That work was featured in Yankee Magazine, The Boston Globe, The New York Times, People Magazine and a host of other publications. A lifetime devotee of Nathaniel Hawthorne, or more specifically his enigmatic older sister Elizabeth, she lives in Beverly, Massachusetts, with her husband Tom.

Award winning author David J. Gibbs was born and raised in the greater Cincinnati area. The oldest of three, he protected his younger brother and sister from neighborhood bullies and the monsters under their beds. Never losing touch with the wonder and terror of childhood, he continues to push the limits of imagination with his stories.

His middle-grade series Mad Maggie Dupree is a hit with all ages, book five and six due out in the coming year.

With over seventy short fiction titles published in the last four years, his work has appeared in dozens of magazines and anthologies, including; 'Shadows of Salem', 'Dark Monsters', 'Stores from the Near-Future', 'Hidden in Plain Sight', 'Massacre Magazine', 'Under the Bed', 'Sanitarium Magazine' and 'Double Feature Magazine'.
