About the authors
Past Bram Stoker Award(R) nominee James Dorr combines the charm of a gentleman born in the US South with the wiles of a near-New York City upbringing, the canniness of a one-time New England resident, and the guile of an outwardly stolid Midwesterner, or so he says. It is known that he was born in Florida, grew up in New Jersey, went to college in Massachusetts, and currently lives in Indiana where he harbors a Goth cat named Triana. He is a short story writer and poet working mainly in dark fantasy and horror with forays into science fiction and mystery, an active member of HWA and SFWA, and has previously worked as a technical writer for an academic computing center, associate editor on a city magazine, a nonfiction freelance writer, and a semi-professional Renaissance musician.
See http://jamesdorrwriter.wordpress.com for more information on James's doings, past, present, and possible future. Feel free to drop a note as the spirit moves -- he's always happy to hear readers' comments, and often will answer, so let your friends know too.

Fort Worth writer Jonathan Shipley has never bought into "newer is better." Old houses, old furniture, and old portraits are his way of life, and like many collectors, he cohabits with more antiques than strictly fit into his house. He has had fantasy, science fiction, and horror stories published in dozens of magazines and anthologies, including SWORD & SORCERESS, volumes 25 through 31, and AFTER DEATH that won the 2014 Bram Stoker Award. However, he is actually a novel writer at heart and spends most of his writing time on a vast story arc that ranges from Nazi occultism to vampires to futuristic space opera.
"At his best Jeffreys writes memorable, perturbating prose with an overwhelming sense of menace. The stories stay with the reader, touching something in the psyche that is both troubling and intriguing." Bristol Review of Books.
"I've never before encountered a new author (new to me, in any event) whose work...grabs me so significantly from page one. When on his top form as demonstrated here...(Tim Jeffreys)...has the precious ability to grapple, I sincerely believe, with a writing gear in the horror or weird fiction genre beyond the reach of most."
D.F. Lewis.

Until recently, Vaughan Stanger worked as a research manager at a British engineering company. From 1997 to 2011, he wrote science fiction and fantasy stories in his spare time, effectively setting himself homework. The results of this head-scratching were published in Nature Futures, Interzone, Postscripts, Daily Science Fiction and Music for Another World, to name but a few. Translations of his stories have appeared in Polish and Hebrew.
In January 2012 Vaughan became a full-time writer. Currently he's busy writing a novel. The head-scratching has got worse if anything. There are also some new stories in the works, plus further e-book compilations of his previously published stories to come.
For more information about Vaughan's writing exploits, please visit his website: https:\\www.vaughanstanger.com

100 stories in English, Japanese, Romanian,German, Dutch and Portuguese and has
worked in a freelancing capacity for videogames, screenplays and anthologies.

His work has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize.
I’m a speculative fiction author, neuroscientist, and the Assistant Editor of the online science fiction magazine Escape Pod. I'm a graduate of the Viable Paradise workshop, and a member of SFWA. My writing touches on themes of science and faith, the human mind and the inhuman mind, and where these four intersect.
When I'm not writing, I do neuroscience research under my legal name, and hang around St. Louis with my two cats and spacefaring wife.
Dan Koboldt is a science fiction & fantasy writer and the author of the Gateways to Alissia series.
He's also a genetics researcher at a leading children's hospital, where he and his colleagues use next-generation DNA sequencing technologies to uncover the genetic basis of inherited disease. He has co-authored more than 70 publications in The New England Journal of Medicine, Science, Nature, and other scientific journals.
Dan is an avid hunter and outdoorsman. Every fall, he disappears into the woods to pursue whitetail deer with bow and arrow. He lives with his wife and children in Ohio, where the deer take their revenge by eating all of the plants in his backyard.
Jill Hand is a member of International Thriller Writers. Her Southern Gothic novels, White Oaks, and Black Willows, are available on Amazon and from the publisher, Black Rose Writing.
Advance readers called White Oaks a fast-paced, hilarious account of three siblings who are competing for their father's forty-billion-dollar fortune while trying to prevent the destruction of Planet Earth.
Diane Donovan, senior reviewer from Midwest Book Review praised White Oaks, calling it, "an unusually multifaceted tale that holds the ability to prompt laughter from thriller-style tension."
A sequel to White Oaks, Black Willows, follows the adventures of the squabbling, dysfunctional Trapnell family.
Lives in rural Canada with missus, Anne, and a clowder of cats. Multiple short-fiction credits in the speculative fiction genres.
Iain Hamilton McKinven is a Scottish writer who is also a freelance Management Consultant and charity trustee.
Following publication of his short story "Honour Killing" in Third Flatiron's Kurt Vonnegut tribute anthology "Cat's Breakfast", he is working to bring more of his pieces to a wider audience, with the aim of establishing a reputation and track record of further professional publication/performance with suitable partners.
Iain is especially interested in exploring family, community and societal values, often
drawing out latent ambiguities in these themes. His work tends to be character-driven and aims to subvert expectations of particular sub-genres, while working within some of their conventions.
David Kilman writes humorous science fiction. An F on his space-faring pig story in second grade set him on a path of rebellion. As an adult, he chose to homeschool his children, raising engineers and other impractical dreamers, thus ensuring the future porcine population of Pluto.
He grew up in the pseudo space age and thought that he would be living on Mars by now. Instead, he lives in Colorado Springs at the foot of Pikes Peak. It may not be Mars, but he still probably has a nicer view out his window than you do. When Dave is procrastinating his writing, he can be found reading, hiking and playing fantasy sports.
Ed Ahern resumed writing after forty odd years in foreign intelligence and international sales. He’s had nearly two hundred poems and stories published so far, and three books. His collected fairy and folk tales, The Witch Made Me Do It, a novella, The Witches’ Bane, and his collected fantasy stories, Capricious Visions. He works the other side of writing at Bewildering Stories, where he sits on the review board and manages a posse of five review editors.
John Kennedy was born in Holmfirth and brought up in the Calder Valley in West Yorkshire. His first brush with the writing world was when a poem of his was runner up in a competition at school and was published. John has done plenty to earn a crust over the years, including peeling bulbs in Holland and busking round Europe. But about twenty years ago he settled in the North East and took up a lecturing post. He’s had some sci fi published in anthologies and continues to put out the occasional short story in that genre, because he loves it too and hates the idea that writers must limit themselves to one world. For his crime fiction, he’s been shortlisted for the Crime Writers Association Debut Dagger and the Exeter prize and longlisted for the Bath Novel prize. The Trauma Pool, published by Sharpe books, is his first novel.
