David W. Adams

David W. Adams is the author of 16 dark and atmospheric novels spanning horror, sci-fi, and dark fantasy. Born in Wolverhampton, England in 1988 and raised in Telford, David took a non-traditional path, leaving formal education to work full-time, before discovering his passion for writing.

His debut collection of haunting short stories was published in early 2021, born from the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, his work has been praised for its emotional depth, chilling atmosphere, and cinematic storytelling.

In 2024, his sci-fi horror novel *Horizon* won AudiobookReviewer.com's award for Best Dystopian Novel, thanks in part to the gripping narration by frequent collaborator Brandon J. Peterson.

David now lives on the Isle of Por

Mark Towse

Mark Towse is an English horror writer living in Australia. He would sell his soul to the devil or anyone buying if it meant he could write full-time. Alas, he left it very late to begin this journey, penning his first story since primary school at the ripe old age of forty-five. Since then, he's been published in over two hundred journals and anthologies, had his work made into full theatrical productions for shows such as The No Sleep Podcast and Tales to Terrify, and has penned fourteen novellas, including Nana, Gone to the Dogs, 3:33, and Crows. He also has two very well-received story collections, 'There's Something Wrong with Aunty Beth,' and 'You Only Live Once.' Chasing The Dragon is his debut novel.

Grace Hamilton

Grace Hamilton is the prepper pen-name for a bad-ass, survivalist momma-bear of four kids, and wife to a wonderful husband. After being stuck in a mountain cabin for six days following a flash flood, she decided she never wanted to feel so powerless or have to send her kids to bed hungry again. Now she lives the prepper lifestyle and knows that if SHTF or TEOTWAWKI happens, she’ll be ready to help protect and provide for her family.

Combine this survivalist mentality with a vivid imagination (as well as a slightly unhealthy day dreaming habit) and you get a prepper fiction author. Grace spends her days thinking about the worst possible survival situations that a person could be thrown into, then throwing her characters into these nightmares

Iain Benson

Iain is a fifty-something computer programmer from Manchester. He writes mainly thrillers, dashing in sprinklings of science-fiction, psychology and humour. Although he's written novels and shorts since childhood, he only got into indie publishing on turning forty, when the other choices for a mid-life crisis looked too expensive. Successes in short stories almost translated into becoming a traditionally published novelist in 2010. Instead, he moved into indie publishing with the well-regarded "Fakebook.con". He refuses to admit how much research he did in writing it. Fifteen books later, he shows no sign of slowing.

Shelby Mahurin

Shelby Mahurin grew up on a small farm in rural Indiana, where sticks became wands and cows became dragons. Her rampant imagination didn't fade with age, so she continues to play make-believe every day—with words now instead of cows. When not writing, Shelby watches the Office and obsesses over her Twitter feed. She still lives near that childhood farm with her very tall husband, semi-feral toddlers, two dogs, and one cat.

T.J. Payne

T.J. Payne is the author of:

IN MY FATHER'S BASEMENT: A serial killer novel
INTERCEPTS: A horror novel
THE VENUE: A wedding novel

T.J. Payne writes primarily in the horror and thriller genres. His writing style relies on a light touch, using lean, smooth prose to build and maintain the story's intensity. Through this style, Payne weaves in deeper themes and questions about human nature, particularly the subtle line between Good and Evil. Traditional Hero and Villain archetypes are often flipped in Payne's work. His characters may not always be likable, but their faults and sins are profoundly human.

Humans are the only species on Earth with the capability to create both great beauty and unspeakable acts of cruelty. The exploration of that duali

Alexia Muelle-Rushbrook

Alexia Muelle-Rushbrook is a multi-genre author who lives with her family surrounded by animals in rural Suffolk, UK.

A self-confessed geek, Alexia has always found solace in the natural world and books, often walking her dogs whilst daydreaming stories of her own. However, it wasn’t until 2020 when one voice wouldn’t leave her alone that she stopped saying 'I can’t' and finally wrote her debut dystopian novel, The Minority Rule.

The Minority Rule quickly turned into a trilogy and ideas for new novels flooded in—although not in the same genre, beginning the genre-hopping journey that Alexia is now on.

Although her novels vary, whether epic fantasy, dystopian, paranormal mystery romance, dark psychological thriller, or anything in between, she
