Steve Cornwell
Grew up in Stevenage and now lives with his wife and daughter in Letchworth. Initially attracted to writing in the form of screenplays, a pivot into the world of crime fiction novels has seen that develop into a secondary writing style. Lover of genres where thrills and suspense, without nonsensical filler, allow the characters to come alive and tell their stories.
Always been drawn to the darker side of fiction and movies, and keen to keep striving to achieve the levels set by personal favourites such as Brian Freeman and Chris Carter.
An avid sports fan, whenever given the option, can usually be found on the golf course, spending time with family and attending country music gigs.

Better Hero Army
Better Hero Army is the (really cool) pen name of American author Evan Ramspott. Under the Better Hero Army name, Evan writes about zombies, gargoyles, fairies, aliens, and pretty much anything that doesn't belong in the mainstream (i.e., he writes about cool stuff under the BHA name). He has a really cool website at www.betterheroarmy.com, he's sometimes active on Twitter @BetterHeroArmy, and he's in a bunch of cool GoodReads groups.

Evan's other (not so cool) works of fiction are mainstream stories about social inequities and hardships (and are real downers by comparison).
When Evan isn't being a (cool) writer, he has a family and a day job and enjoys all three equally. Oh, and he likes the beach because it's also cool. -
