I've been writing for over 51 years have published thirty-five novels and thirteen short stories....most of them are now also in Audible audio books (Audible, iTunes and Amazon.com). Take a look/listen at Audible.com.

I write traditional supernatural horror, SF horror, ghost stories, romantic time-travel, cozy murder mysteries, paranormal romance and dinosaur tales. I've been writing about murders and mysteries, dinosaurs, end-of-the-world tales, possessed guns, ghosts, ancient Egyptian spirits, witches, haunted places and evil vampires since I was 21. These days I consider myself less of a horror writer and just a plain old storyteller.

My best-selling series are my SPOOKIE TOWN MURDER MYSTERIES (Scraps of Paper, All Things Slip Away, Ghosts Beneath Us, Witches Among Us, What Lies Beneath the Graves, All Those Who Came Before, When the Fireflies Returned, and Echoes of Other Times) and my seven DINOSAUR LAKE novels.

I was a wife of over 43 years to my late beloved husband, Russell, mother (one son, James), grandmother (two grandchildren, Caitlyn and Joshua) and a great grandmother. I was also a graphic designer in the corporate world for 23 years; but always wrote my books on the side. I love cats and nature, classic rock and country music.

Kevin Candela grew up in Southern Illinois on the rich fantasy and science fiction of the 1950s and 1960s. So inspired was he by the movies and TV shows of that era that he ended up spending almost two decades as an aerospace engineer, a time he now regards as "background building" for his writing. Honing his communication skills teaching physics and engineering at local colleges and universities, he completed his first work - a "fan fiction" sequel to the 1998 American Godzilla movie - in 1999. He began work on his Dragon's Game Trilogy the same year, his last in the aerospace industry, and self-published the original version of Mushroom Summer, the trilogy's first installment, through AuthorHouse Books in 2005. Since 2014 he's been self-publishing prolifically and currently has seventy-six published works including several novella series and nearly thirty novels...along with over fifty audio books released with many more on the way. He also shows up in a lot of indie anthologies. A big fan of the supernatural, D and D and rock and roll--especially the Stones--Kevin lives with wife Jackie, who acts as his editor on top of everything else she does, and a number of cats who mostly don't mind public mentions like these.

GR Jordan is a self-published author who finally decided at forty that in order to have an enjoyable lifestyle, his creative beast within would have to be unleashed. His books mirror that conflict in life where acts of decency contend with self-promotion, goodness stares in horror at evil and kindness blind-sides us when we are at our worst. Corrupting our world with his parade of wondrous and horrific characters, he highlights everyday tensions with fresh eyes whilst taking his methodical, intelligent mainstays on a roller-coaster ride of dilemmas, all the while suffering the banter of their provocative sidekicks.

A graduate of Loughborough University where he masqueraded as a chemical engineer but ultimately played American football, GR Jordan worked at changing the shape of cereal flakes and pulled a pallet truck for a living. Watching vegetables freeze at -40'C was another career highlight and he was also one of the Scottish Highlands' "blind" air traffic controllers. Having flirted with most places in the UK, he is now based in the Isle of Lewis in Scotland where his free time is spent between raising a young family with his wife, writing, figuring out how to work a loom and caring for a small flock of chickens. Luckily his writing is influenced by his varied work and life experience as the chickens have not been the poetical inspiration he had hoped for!

About the authors: Joseph and Marisha Cautilli are probably the best father-daughter cyber punk-horror writers ever (maybe the only father-daughter combination). Joe Cautilli has a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Temple University. He has two master’s degrees. The first is in Counseling Psychology, and the Second is in Applied Behavior Analysis. He has a doctorate in school psychology and a post-doctoral masters in clinical psychopharmacology. He is licensed as a psychologist in Pennsylvania and Delaware. He is licensed as a counselor and a behavior specialist in Pennsylvania. He is certified in Head Injury Treatment, and in Applied Behavior Analysis. He has worked for twenty five years in mental health, including owning his own company, and in the prison system, working with inmates with mental health issues. Joe has written numerous articles in psychology as well as in both the horror and cyberpunk genera. The goal of good cyberpunk, as he sees it, is to pull science and technology out of the lab and put it altered into the everyday world. In the horror genre, he strives to create realistic images of the darkest elements of human nature. When asked what his goals for a horror novel are, he states: “To leave the reader with a sense of paranoia and fear about the world. A good novel is one that the reader, to some degree, causes intrusive memories about the events in the novel later on, some sense of grief, or distress over character losses, and a feeling of jumpiness.” At the time of publishing the first book, Marisha Cautilli was seven years old and in the fourth grade. Diagnosed as gifted, she is currently completing the fourth grade curriculum at Pa Cyber Charter. Marisha has many gifts and hobbies. She is a teen now. In addition to the regular curriculum (language arts, math, science, and social studies), Marisha takes gifted classes in creative writing, crime scene science, and noir films. She enjoys karate, and cartooning. She is an accomplished swimmer, archer, skier, guitarist, and keyboardist. She speaks both English and Polish. Marisha loves gaming on the Wii. Marisha’s primary joy in writing is historical fiction and fantasy, but has recently begun to take an interest in the cyberworld. When it comes to Cyberpunk, Marisha believes that the most important aspect of the plot is that people can believe they are part of the scene; they feel a sense of the character being trapped. She likes to develop the reader’s skepticism in what the characters are thinking and saying. She feels that the characters, thoughts, and feelings should be common enough for all to acknowledge. She especially likes to focus on mundane parts of characters lives that are often overlooked, but give clues to the characters emotional state. When it comes to horror, Marisha enjoys writing graphic images and shocking scenes. She likes the images to be quick and concise, like video games. Both authors enjoy adding a sense of humor to the characters and the plot, as humor is often one way to cope with the horrific events that the characters are experiencing.

I am a fiction writer;

A creator of larger-than-life heroes of ages gone by;

Great wizards tainted, and those who resist them;

War between interstellar travelers, both on this planet and far away;

Alien races intent on the annihilation of any being not their own,

and weaker ones in need of a savior- as well as the One who becomes their savior.

Clashes with bad people and dangerous places, where only one can survive.

When you get to my writing, sit back, hold on, and enjoy the ride!

He has a love of ugly Hawaian shirts. He also bears a passing resemblance to Walter Sobchak in The Big Lebowski.

Tobias Cabral is a clinical psychologist and lifelong Speculative Fiction enthusiast. He has a private practice outside Philadelphia, PA, working predominantly with adolescents and young adults. In 2017, he had the wholly-unexpected opportunity to serve as an adjunct professor for Clinical Psychology graduate students of a nearby Psy.D. program. And he is in *grave* danger of becoming quite addicted to this new thing...

Doctor Cabral's passions for SF and psychology have cross-fertilized most fruitfully: He has developed a sub-specialty in working with SF Fans (who are frequently and non-trivially helped by not having constantly to translate their thoughts and feelings into "Mundane-ese" with their therapist). He regularly speaks at "PhilCon," the annual convention of the Philadelphia Science Fiction Society. His Doctoral Dissertation (Nested Systems: Evolving Models of Embodied Psychotherapy) dealt with Chaos/Complexity/Dynamic Systems theory (to which he was first exposed in Crichton's novel, Jurassic Park), as the basis for a proposed metatheory of psychological functioning and multi-level (fractal-structured) clinical interventions.

The author is an avid consumer of comparative mythology (who sees Grail stories *everywhere*), and an inveterate aerospace junkie (who will --*someday*-- complete his hours for his Private Pilot license!). He is particularly obsessed with private/commercial spaceflight, and with the exploration/colonization of Mars. (He is, thus, an *unapologetic* SpaceX Fanboy)

Dr. Cabral dabbles in songwriting, aided in this by YouTube, his Giannini acoustic-electric guitar

(Evangeline), and assorted pennywhistles (because they're Lovely, and totally portable). He is nonetheless mindful of the comedic figure he clearly strikes in comparison to his former concert pianist mother and Julliard M.A. sister. Intermittently driving for Lyft has provided a rich source of narrative and empathic capital to re-invest in all of the above (plus, drunks are Funny).

Doctor Cabral lives in the verdant suburbs of Philadelphia with his (undeservedly-tolerant) wife, (intriguingly-eccentric) son, Four dogs (Kaylee, Madame Maxine, Fitz, and Huggy-Bear ), and Z'Ha'Dum-black cat (Daenerys Angelique). Ball python (Monty....of course), alas, shed his mortal coil in 2016.

Born and raised in a small lakeside town in the state of New York, Brian Wemesfelder knew from a very early age that he was going to be a horror writer. The combination of an avid love of books, a horror-loving family, and a love of story-telling, made it inevitable that he would end up writing stories for a living.

Brian has worked as a factory worker, a chef, and a delivery man. But, his story telling is the job he loves most.

When not writing, Brian is a collector of books with over 1000 hardcovers (300+ of which are signed) in his collection.

He states the first book he ever read was Fahrenheit 151, which he blames for his book collection.

​

He currently lives in Ohio with his lovely wife Teresa, in a new home they had just purchased in 2018. He attempts to write his books centered around the town of Delaware, in which the house resides.

I live in the historical city of York in the UK with my wife and my son. I have been writing for over 25 years. My first steps into the world of writing began with writing normal poetry, as my Dad calls it. Then I tried my hand at writing dark/horror/gory poetry. I'd read some other dark/horror poetry by some other poets and was blown away by how good it was. I posted one of my horror poems on some Facebook poetry groups to see what sort of reaction it would get and I was surprised by the positive reaction it recieved. I decided to give story writing a go and the rest is history. My stories have appeared in numerous horror anthologies. The three ebooks, Sick Twisted F*cks, APOCALYP-SICK & Death, Infection, The Devil and Jed, are available on Amazon are a collection of some my stories that appear in them. You can find these in the BOOKS section of my this page.

The Meyerstown Secret, in all, took me three years to write and is also my first real physical book (its also available as an ebook).

I have two more stories which will hopefully be getting released some time this year, one of which I have just finished writing.

My poetry can be found at https://gloriouslygory.wordpress.com
