Oldrich Stibor is a creative professional working in film in Television in various capacities in addition to a career in copy writing. He lives in Toronto Canada with his soul mate Meeka: A speckled belly boston terrier. 

His current project is The Black Chronicle, an exciting idea which combines a standard novel with loads of extra "transmedia" experiences, such as telephone calls from the novel's dastardly serial killer.  Featuring performances from two of horror 's hardest working actors, Bill Oberst Jr and Melantha Blackthorne this looks as though this is going to be some rather special.  

Salome Jones has been writing and editing full time for the past three years.  She has recently edited two  successful anthologies, Red Phone Box, and Cthulhu Lives, as well as being the  acquisitions editor at Ghostwoods Books.  She also writes about her experiences as an American living in the UK over at The Naked American.

Her sister is a two-time cancer survivor, and she is her greatest inspiration. She attends the University of Alabama for a BA in English with a minor in Creative Writing. Alyssa spends most of her time reading, writing, re-writing, and re-writing, and re-writing, and re-writing… She loves blogging and singing in public. Follow her if you dare.

My name is Alyssa. I’m a Whovian (Allons-y!), I have a fear of heights, and I am obsessed with social-networking. I’ll mainly be posting personal experiences, writing tips (not that I’m a professional on the matter…), and updates on my current projects. I hope you enjoy your stay here, and that you can find a little bit of inspiration on my lowly page. Happy writing! Happy reading!

Glen Hirshberg is an award-winning author of spectral fiction. Peter Straub has called him "an amazing writer who makes the materials of horror into what they were supposed to be all along—grandly sweeping, capable of tremendous reach, and open to all aspects of human experience," and theLos Angeles Review of Books recently referred to him as "always one of his generation's finest stylists, its most able student of character." Widespread critical acclaim for his most recent novel, Motherless Child, reprinted in a revised edition by Tor in May of 2014) has included starred reviews from Publishers' Weekly and Booklist, raves from Locus, The Washington Post,Black Static, Fangoria and Cemetery Dance, and ringing endorsements from Ramsey Campbell, Elizabeth Hand, Christopher Golden, and many others. Of Glen's 2010 novel, The Book of Bunk (Earthling), the late Lucius Shepherd wrote, "It's as if Woody Guthrie and Gabriel Garcia Marquez had co-authored a 90,000-word folk song," and Jeff Vandermeer called it "powerful, sad, ecstatic, and above all, a clear sign that the uniquely American novel is alive and well." Glen's 2002 debut, The Snowman's Children (Carroll & Graf), was a Literary Guild Featured Selection and received raves from The Washington Post, Kirkus Reviews (starred review), and many other publications.

Glen's prize-winning story collections include:

The Janus Tree (Subterranean, 2011), a Bram Stoker and Shirley Jackson Award finalist. The title novelette, "The Janus Tree," won the inaugural Shirley Jackson Award in 2008.

American Morons (Earthling, 2006), winner of the International Horror Guild Award.

The Two Sams (Carroll & Graf, 2003), winner of the International Horror Guild Award, and including the International Horror Guild Award-winning novelette, "Dancing Men." The Two Sams was also a Publishers' Weekly Best Book of the Year, and features perhaps Glen's best-known story, "Mr. Dark's Carnival," selected by John Pelan for his Century's Best Horror Fictioncollection.

A true renaissance man, Joseph Tatner holds a BA in Communications and an MA in National Security Studies. He has written numerous published Web and print articles, books, technical documents and promotional materials, and holds credentials as a Master Federal Career Coach, Master Federal Resume Writer and Master Military Transition Resume Writer. He wrote the book Autism: A New Hope with Dr. Cheri L. Florence (available on Amazon.com) and edited the definitive compendium on America, the Opus Americana (also on Amazon.com and at OpusAmericana.com). Joseph has written countless documents for companies such as Shell Oil, Southern California Edison, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the Las Vegas Valley Water District.

After writing so many technical manuals over the years, Joseph nearly turned into a zombie himself, so he has a unique insight into the mindless void of a soulless drone. Yet like his father before him, Jack Tatner (who was a famous musician in the 1940s), Joe has kept his offbeat sense of humor. He has a unique talent for taking an otherwise normal situation and turning it on its head, then twisting it again with delightful, thought-provoking results. This is not just a brainless zombie novel. Floyd and Mikki: Zombie Hunters is an unpredictable adventure that keeps you guessing and waiting on the edge of your seat to see what comes next. Joe is a modern day Gilbert and Sullivan, examining humanity, society and personal relationships in a topsy-turvy apocalyptic world.
 
THE MAN
Joseph Tatner began his life as a genuine Forrest Gump (with a substantially higher IQ). His legs were deformed, requiring leg braces and orthopedic shoes for the first two years of his life. The doctor suggested he get into dancing to strengthen his legs, but he suffered from severe childhood asthma. At age 8, he finally began tap, jazz and ballet dancing and at age 9 made his television debut tap dancing in an early episode of The Partridge Family. This led to a long career in television, stage, film and radio as a true triple threat: singer/dancer/actor. Joe lost his voice temporarily to a freakish growth on one vocal cord that required surgery. It was nearly ten years before he could sing again, but he studied opera in Milan, Italy and can be seen occasionally singing and dancing on stage or in a walk-on role in the movies.

Joseph heard another calling early in his life and entered the seminary to become a priest, even studying for a year in Rome before returning to the United States, where a car accident injured his back. After a year of therapy and mounting bills, he ran an entertainment business producing shows and eventually performing again. Then he joined the United States Air Force and was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant. The day he arrived at his base, however, all the KC-135 tanker aircraft he was supposed to maintain were sent to the reserve unit on base, meaning the planes stayed there but he officially had no position. A year later, he resigned honorably from the Air Force after his two requests to volunteer for service in Iraq were denied.

While in the Air Force, Joseph bought his first AT&T computer. Playing the latest games required the ability to install new memory, hard drives, video cards, etc. Before long, he became a recognized Geek and was soon writing technical documents or managing complex IT projects throughout the US and overseas. He currently works from home in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho as a freelance writer, taking care of his 11-year-old daughter.

Despite numerous challenges and setbacks, Joseph is living proof that you can't keep a good man down. This spirit of never giving up and determination to conquer all odds is pervasive throughout Floyd and Mikki. May they live long and prosper! 

 A sarcastic quip machine who could have gone either way William made friends with a group of smart kids who were just as bored. They provided him a fertile playground for his imagination. Then he went off to The Ohio State University to perform on stage and drink a lot. He did manage to end up as a recurring character in the Ohio State Lantern’s comic strip The Neighbors by Jeff Yoakum. He circulated from San Francisco to Tampa Bay to Denver and finally Columbus, OH where his legacy of terror and cheese lives on.
