Patrick Winters is a graduate of Illinois College in Jacksonville, IL, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature and Creative Writing. As a student, he was a two-time co-editor in chief of the college's literary and art magazine, Forte, and is a member of the international English honors society, Sigma Tau Delta.

Winters is now a proud member of the Horror Writers Association. His works have been published in numerous anthologies and magazines and have been featured on various web-based offerings, including the Horror Tree, the Sirens Call, Deadman's Tome, Fantasia Divinity Magazine, Sanitarium Magazine, and many more. While appreciating an array of genres, his favorite to both read and write in is Horror, because he's just plain weird like that!

Winters is an avid listener of all things hard-rock and heavy-metal, a compendium of comic-book knowledge, can (and will) do a perplexing array of voice impersonations, and can bend his thumbs further back than any person should have the right/capability of doing. It is all quite odd . . .

"Burr is not merely a "new" voice, he is a fresh voice – a different and disturbing voice - and one deserving of your attention." - Horrorworld

"This is the first time I've read anything by James Burr, and if these short stories are any indication of what he has up his sleeve, I'm betting many more people will be hearing about him soon. [...] I DEFINITELY have my eye out for more from this guy . . . where's he been hiding all these years?" - Horror Fiction Review

"Burr's view alternates between the sentimental bitterness of failed romance and a sweeping image of modern life in all its sickness and beauty. Burr's writing, like his characters and his world, fluctuates from the simple to the complex, from the vulgar to the sublime." - Susurrus

"Burr is a talented storyteller with an impressive imagination. His stories will be appreciated by readers of horror, bizarro fiction, and those who just like good writing. Recommended." - Monster Librarian

"It might not be too bold to say the world needs more writers with fresh and weird ideas, and James Burr falls firmly into that camp." - Quiet, Please!

Tom Over is a reptilian limbic system currently manipulating a hominid cortex somewhere in Manchester, UK. The Comfort Zone and Other Safe Spaces is his first book. He is not on Twitter.

Peter Caffrey is a writer of absurdist stories with elements of horror, bizarro and the darkest of dark comedy. He believes that even on a sunny day when the world is at peace, there's always a little bit of filthiness lurking in the shadows.

Alongside his novels, his work has also appeared in a wide range of publications and a whole array of anthologies.

Mick Rose Editor, Author & Poet

While wandering the United States in a quest for the perfect pizza, Crime Fiction writer Mick Rose pens haiku and prose, as well as the occasional poem. Though his crime fiction can loom dark, and not for the faint-of-heart, he typically tells tall tales involving sexual humor (that sometimes prove explicit).

In addition to print book collections from Ramingo's Porch and Horror Sleaze Trash, Mick's stories have kindly appeared in various online magazines, including Yellow Mama Webzine, England's hard-hitting Close To The Bone, Punk Noir Magazine, and The Rye Whiskey Review.

Meanwhile his haiku graciously appear in the September 2018 and January 2019 Issues of Better Than Starbucks poetry magazine as well as in the poetry collection YEARNINGS by Filipino poet Ayo "Carolyn Abanggan" Gutierrez. The September Issue of Better Than Starbucks is presently available in e-book format here on Amazon, while various print book editions are also available through Lulu.com.

Courtesy of Publisher Jesse "Heels" Rawlins, Mr. Rose also serves as an editor for 11-year-old Crime, Pulp & Humor online magazine the Flash Fiction Offensive.

Mick also hosts the web site blog: "Center Stage with Mick Rose," which shines the spotlight on writers, poets and illustrators from around the World.
