​Bill Kieffer is from the east coast of the states, in a small tourist town that swells up in the summer and then is a creepy shut-in community for the rest of the year. He's writer of comics books Billy Joe VanHelsing: Redneck Vampire Hunter and Great Morons of History: The Dan Quayle Story. He has also dabbled in interviews, short stories, and porn. Recent short stories appear in Roar 7, Wolf Watchers III, and a science fiction horror anthology the publisher keeps renaming.

Kieffer is also a Furry known online as Greyflank, the Typing Horse. Make of that what you will; he certainly will.


His book, The Goat: Building the Perfect Victim, is now available from Red Ferret Press, a dark urban fantasy flirting with the label of horror erotica. BDSM without all those annoying rules. The Goat recently earned the title of Pitch Perfect Pick at the Underground Book Review (https://www.undergroundbookreviews.org/book/the-goat/).

Jasper Bark has been a busy boy. Fresh off the back of a string of releases (Novellas Run To Ground and Bed of Crimson Joy, as well as novel The Final Cut) all of which were well received around these parts, he’s also run a successful Indiegogo campaign to produce a Lovecraft inspired horror comic, and become an integral part of Crystal Lake publishing’s Patreon campaign. We decided a catch up was long past due.

Steven Ramirez began writing seriously as a sophomore in high school, concentrating on that time-honored vehicle of teen outrage and simmering hormones—poetry. Each week, he created these verses and “borrowed” the school’s copier equipment, which allowed him to distribute his work to the unsuspecting world. He still owes the high school twenty-eight bucks for supplies, so please don’t tell anyone.


Eventually, Steven began writing screenplays, mostly because everyone else in LA is writing a screenplay. It’s the law—look it up. If you are not at least “working” on a screenplay, they banish you to South Orange County, where you can take up surfing. Come to think of it, they might have rewritten that law, but you wouldn’t know it visiting Starbucks. What set him apart, though, is that for a while he had an agent. He still didn’t sell anything, though. Agents are like lawyers. Unless there are crisp, new thousand dollar bills nailed to your forehead, they tend not to return your calls.

Then came a fateful meeting with the Davids—David Rimawi and David Latt of The Asylum, the prolific studio responsible for ‘Sharknado.’ These fine gentlemen read Steven’s work and decided to take a chance. The result was the horror-thriller film ‘Killers.’ It was funny, bloody and action-filled, and featured a young Paul Logan, who has gone on to enjoy a nice movie career while Steven became old, embittered and … Wait, that’s somebody else’s life.

Tired of hawking screenplays, Steven returned to short stories. Though over the years he had written several novels—none of which were published—he decided to try again and in 2013 published Tell Me When I’m Dead, a zombie thriller. In 2014, he followed up with the sequel, Dead Is All You Get, and is hard at work on the last book of THE DEAD SERIES trilogy.

In addition to writing, Steven is a pretend musician, having written songs and played in bands since high school. He started on the accordion long before it was popular, then graduated to the piano. Thankfully, he decided to give up music and focus on writing.

Joseph Schwartz is a   St. Louis native who  writes exclusively about the Gateway City.He prefers the style of fiction deemed transgressive fiction, where his  stories' protagonists generally find a solution to their problems through either illicit or illegal means.  He personally prefers stories told through a criminal's point-of-view. It is never the crime that fascinates him  so much as the motivation to do it and the terrible, almost predictable outcomes to such actions. Just as he has  an expectation of writing to be read he believes that it is as important, if not more so, that you as a reader should have the expectation of being entertained as you read. Anything less is such a disappointment.
