Dark fantasy and horror author. Why? Because his first movie was his pregnant mother going to see The Exorcist in 1973. Hearing such terror in utero does something to a person. He grew up on all the classic black and white horror movies: Dracula, Frankenstein, the Wolfman. He then moved on to Friday the 13th, Halloween, and Hellraiser. His love for the dark and macabre consumed his imagination, and the first horror story he wrote was at the age of 12 (a creative writing piece for school where he described his friends and himself being slaughtered in a slasher movie type tale--yea, imagine doing that today and the trouble you'd get into). Luckily, his teacher found it creative, even if it was a tad disturbing. With that, he was off on the road to become a writer--not for the money nor the fame, but for the love of telling stories and giving people chills.

USA Today Best Selling Author Marissa Ann grew up in two very different worlds, the big city and the rural South. Mobile Alabama offered her the opportunities to not only see other cultures but to experience them as well.

Every weekend she spent most of her time on the beach of Perdido with her dog, Buddy. It didn’t matter what time of the day, even midnight, they could be found walking along the shore in search of seashells.

Buddy passed away in 1997 and she still misses him today. You never forget your true best friends, even the four legged ones.

When she wasn’t in Alabama with her dad, she was in North Mississippi with her mom. Mostly spending time with her Grandfather who taught her not only how to grow a garden but how to completely live off the land as well as to love animals.

Today, she spends her time in rural North Mississippi with her husband, the kids and all of their animals on a hobby farm.

She always said she would write books one day even though many thought she never would. She made a promise to a childhood friend who left this world for the next in 2015. That she would finally write and publish at least one.

Her first book hit the market in 2018 and she’s never looked back. She now has several out with many more scheduled for release.

Her favorite books have a lot of romance with action and suspense mixed in. She loves to hear from others about her books OR theirs.

Poppy Flynn was born in Buckinghamshire, UK and moved to Wales at eight years old with parents who wanted to live the 'self-sufficiency' lifestyle.

Today she still lives in rural Wales and is married with six children.

Poppy's love of reading and writing stemmed from her parents’ encouragement and the fact that they didn't have a television in the house.

"When you're surrounded by fields, cows and sheep, no neighbours, no TV and the closest tiny village is four miles away, there's a certain limit to your options, but with books your adventures and your horizons are endless."
