@Radarsteal1

After being born on the flat and barren planes of Wichita, Kansas, Radar DeBoard had nothing but time on his hands. Plenty of time to hone his craft of writing stories that explored the darkest parts of his imagination. He can analyze your fear, truly find what keeps you up at night, and then give your greatest nightmares back to you in written form. Most recently, his Cosmic Monstrosities series has been leaving people gripped in terror.

@siljaevelyn 

I'm from Finland but I moved to the UK when I was 19. I lived in England, Cambridge, for three years before I came to Scotland. I now live near Glasgow with my boyfriend and a dream of a cat baby. I write adult fiction and sometimes horror, and my debut novel Pretty Boy was published in 2020 by a small, independent publisher in England. I'm currently working on my second novel and building a career as a freelance editor. Besides writing, I love drawing, watching films and learning new languages.

@cthorndycroft

Chris Thorndycroft developed a fascination with medieval history after seeing Errol Flynn’s swashbuckling antics in The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) at the age of six. His obsession later found an outlet in creative writing and he has now written nine historical novels including the Hengest and Horsa Trilogy and the Arthur of the Cymry Trilogy which are set in 5th century Arthurian Britain as well as Lords of the Greenwood and Rotherwood: A Prequel to Ivanhoe, both of which look at the origins of Robin Hood.

Born in Portsmouth, England, Chris has lived in the Netherlands and Wales before settling in Norway with his wife, two kids and a couple of cats.

@AsTheHeroFlies

Superheroes. Werewolves. Brave kids. Post-apocalyptic worlds. If you're reading a story by G.A. Bassier, chances are you'll find at least one of these elements. An eclectic author who delights in crafting great reads across all genres, G.A. Bassier's work has appeared in everything from horror magazines to Chicken Soup for the Soul books. Her debut novel, Even Heroes, can be found on Amazon. Some of her fondest childhood memories are of falling in love with the rabbits of Watership Down, getting the heck scared out of her by the Scary Stories books, and imagining she had telekinetic powers like Roald Dahl's Matilda. As a writer, G.A. Bassier hopes to ignite that same spark of imagination in readers of all ages. She never knows where the next literary adventure will take her, but she hopes you'll come along for the ride.

@DaysDyingGlory

Virginia grew up in Orkney, using the breath-taking scenery to fuel her imagination and the writing fire within her. Her favourite genres to write are fantasy and historical fiction, sometimes mixing the two together. She enjoys swashbuckling stories such as the Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas and is still waiting for a screen adaption that lives up to the book!

When she's not writing, Virginia is usually to be found teaching music. She believes wholeheartedly in the power of music, especially as a tool of inspiration.

She now lives in the far flung corner of Scotland, soaking in inspiration from the rugged cliffs and miles of sandy beaches.

She loves cheese, music and films, but hates mushrooms.
