Jeff Strand's bio was funnier when he talked about losing the Bram Stoker Award four times, but he's now a Bram Stoker Award WINNER!

His novels are usually classified as horror, but they're really all over the place, almost always with a great big dose of humor. He's written five young adult novels that all fall into the "really goofy comedy" category.

Several of his books are in development as motion pictures, and he's mostly not allowed to blab any details, which he finds MADDENING.

He lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee with his wife and one gigantic freaking cat.

Kennedy's bestselling "Christmas Horror" and "Easter Horror," and other suspenseful anthologies.

Suzanne Fox was born and raised in Staffordshire before moving to the beautiful county of Cornwall in 2006. She combines a career in nursing alongside her passion for writing.

Her first success was when she was a prize-winner in a competition run by a writing magazine. Since then she has turned her hand to writing erotica, before venturing into the horror genre. Suzanne likes to combine the two genres whenever possible. She also tries to include some of her life experiences within her writing, although she would like to make it clear that she has never actually crucified anyone personally.

Briana Robertson excels at taking the natural darkness of reality and bringing it to life on the page. Heavily influenced by her personal experience with depression, anxiety, and the chronic pain of fibromyalgia, Robertson’s dark fiction delves into the emotional and psychological experiences of characters in whom readers will recognize themselves. Her stories horrify while also tugging at heartstrings, muddying the lines of black and white, and staining the genre in multiple shades of grey.

In 2016, Robertson joined the ranks of Stitched Smile Publications. Her solo anthology, “Reaper,” which explores the concept of death being both inevitable and non-discriminatory, will debut in late 2017. She also has stories included in “Unleashing the Voices Within,” by Stitched Smile Publications, “Man Behind the Mask,” by David Owain Hughes, Jonathan Ondrashek, and Veronica Smith, and “Collected Easter Horror Shorts” and "Collected Halloween Horror Shorts" by Kevin Kennedy.

Robertson is the wife of one, mother of four, and unashamed lover of all things feline. She currently resides on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River, with a backyard view of the Saint Louis skyline, and is a member of the Saint Louis Writers Guild.

Hidden in a remote location in California lives a man that responds to the name Peter Oliver Wonder. Though little is known about him, several written works that may or may not be fictional have been found featuring a character of the same name.

Devilishly handsome, quick witted, and as charming as an asshole can be, Peter has come a long way since his time in the United States Marine Corps. Making friends wherever he goes, there is never a shortage of adventure when he is around.

The works that have been penned under this name are full of horror, romance, adventure, and comedy just as every life should be. It is assumed that these works are an attempt at a drug fueled autobiography of sorts. Through these texts, we can learn much about this incredible man.

Christopher Motz (b. 1980) is a writer of horror and science fiction that illuminates the darker corners of our world... and the ones right next door. He is an avid reader, musician, collector, YouTuber, and local historian. He lives in small-town Pennsylvania with his wife and step-daughter.

His first novel, 'The Darkening,' was released in October 2016 and has since spawned a sequel, 'The Traveler,' in 2018. These works are part of a larger tale, and have created a mythology that makes appearances in most of his other work.

His short stories have appeared in multiple bestselling anthologies and he has collaborated with several authors, one of which he co-wrote his 2017 novel, 'The Pigeon.'

After four years and eight releases, Christopher is poised to release multiple novels in 2020 and continue bringing his readers the terror they crave.

"A devastating master of horror."

--Iain Rob Wright (The Last Winter, Hell On Earth series)

"Motz is a writer to watch."

--Brian Keene (The Rising, Ghoul)
