Marcus Abshire grew up on high-octane action movies and blood-soaked slasher films and it shows. Born in Key West Florida and shipped all over the country with his family. You might think that being a military brat was a curse. Marcus would tell you otherwise. Moving from one state to another and having to find a way to fit in, he grew thick skin and a love for change. Maybe that’s why he’s done everything from bagging groceries, to pouring concrete, to shooting surface-to-air missiles in the Army, to getting shocked as an electrician and finally to being a Physical Therapy Assistant. Variety is the spice of life; they say, and they ain’t wrong. Marcus has written eight books, as of today, and he is furiously working on more. When his daughter isn’t causing him enough stress to cause the rest of his hair to fall out, he loves nothing more than sitting down with a great cup of coffee and cranking out stories that keep you up at night, having to read just one more chapter, just one more page. Marcus believes that in the darkness is when the light shines brightest, and his writing reflects that. So strap in and buckle up because it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

Corlet (Cor-lay) is the author of the international-selling Bee's Flowers series and Harold the Hog, a children's book, available with all major book retailers and Audible.  

She recently signed with Magnolia Blossom Publishing to rerelease the Bee's Flowers series, with the first book, Beeginning, releasing in March 2022.

This is her first thriller/horror book, and she is ecstatic to be working with Raven Tale Publishing. She has always loved mysteries and is excited to give her readers a glimpse of this writing style from her.

She got the idea for this novel when she was exiting a grocery store and wondered how crazy it would be to spot a family member on one of the posters, especially if it were a family member that you didn't recall being missing.

She lives in Colorado, where there are more sunny days than not. She loves to be active outdoors. She also enjoys spending time with her husband, teenage daughter, and two dogs. Her dream job would be to travel the world and write books full-time. She works as a nurse for a local hospital.

She is unsure of the origin story behind her name. Her parents tell her a different story every time.

 After one year of college, Grady found he could not control his restlessness and moved on to more exciting projects. He joined the army and was trained for assignments that suited his call for high adventure. When discharged, he turned to driving race cars and was immediately picked up by Chevrolet to help develop several concepts of the muscle car era. After a successful ten years of driving, promotion, and handling motor sports teams, Grady quit and returned to college and earned a law degree. He practiced criminal law until sickened by the system and returned to what he knew best---driving race cars. Being a syndicated writer for several motor sports publications led him to write his first book about the early days of drag racing, "Match Race Madness."  Unbeknownst to himself, he was continuously preparing to be an action-adventure writer, encompassing his travels and adventures into fiction, which is manifested in all his books.

Fred Staff was born in Seminole and raised in Pawnee, Oklahoma. His love of history drove him to write books that make history come alive and at the same time gives the reader action and excitement. The numerous reviews he has received on his first book ROCHA'S TREASURE OF POTOSI explains why it is a best seller in Bolivia and highly acclaimed in the USA.
 

He has followed this work with the Bass Reeves trilogy, an adult history of, without a doubt, the most amazing US Marshal ever to serve the Federal Courts. The first three books in his Bass Reeves series were top twenty bestsellers.
 

 The terms 'action-packed' and 'could not put it down' are the most common remarks made in the numerous reviews of his work.

Born in western North Carolina in 1964, Jeff Crawford was raised in a small community and part of a large extended family. He became an avid outdoorsman at an early age, hunting and fishing with father, grandfather, uncles, and neighbors by the age of six. In 1994 Crawford’s father opened a contract cut and sew factory. Later that same summer, Crawford joined with his father to help operate the business, focusing on the production side. Around 2008, Crawford had a surgery that would require 2-4 weeks' down time for recovery. It was during this time that he began writing his first book. Always a major reader, he thought writing one might prove enjoyable. Only after eight attempts did he produce one he thought was quality enough to pursue publishing---that was in or around 2013.


Crawford has written and published eleven novels in a wide array of genres but all being suspense-based. He's been a frequent guest on many radio and blog talk shows both in the United States and internationally, and even sat down as guest host. Crawford writes stories that are easy to believe, full of relatable characters, with particular attention paid to vocabulary that fits the setting.

My name is Andy Hopkins and I see ghosts. I have always been aware of Spirit and the paranormal became an everyday occurrence in my life growing up. This unusual start in life is what inspired my love for horror stories and anything scary. My upbringing in the most haunted house I have ever encountered was the story of my first book I released: the Haunting on Park Road. I am not only an author, but also work with the paranormal every day, whether that be in my psychic capacity, spiritually reading for people, or investigating some truly terrifying venues all across the United Kingdom. My goal of writing the true-life tales of my fearsome encounters with Spirit and the Demonic was to show others out there that these things exist and that it is not crazy to experience these things in real life. My hope in releasing my true-life horror story was to inspire others to tell their own stories and not to be afraid of them. I enjoy anything that the horror genre can offer and am still searching the ultimate fright that can keep me up at night… after all, where is the fun without the fright?

Charles has been writing fiction since his teens, having won a national short story writing contest sponsored by a Sunday school magazine. During the 1960s he wrote poetry for the European edition of Stars and Stripes, and has done articles, reviews, cartoons, and photography for a number of publications in Asia, Africa, and the U.S. He writes in several genres, mystery, fantasy, urban fantasy, and humor, in addition to non-fiction; but, his favorite is mystery. He still writes poetry from time to time, and has appeared in a number of anthologies.


He wrote a book on leadership, Things I Learned from my Grandmother About Leadership and Life, in 2008, the second edition of which was published in 2017, and which continues to enjoy modest sales but a growing reputation on three continents. In 2009, he went back to his first love, fiction, with Color Me Dead, the first in his Al Pennyback mystery series. He began the Al Pennyback series from a desire to see stories about Washington, DC, his adopted home, that focused on ordinary people rather than spies, lobbyists, and politicians.


He was editorial cartoonist for the Spring Lake (NC) News from 1977 to 1981, and had a regular cartoon page and did cover art for the now defunct Buffalo magazine, a publication geared to showcasing the contribution of soldiers of color in US history.


Charles writes for a number of Internet sites; he was a featured travel contributor on Yahoo Voices from 2010 to 2012 until the featured contributor program was terminated, and is the diplomatic correspondent for asnycnowradio, an Internet radio station based in New York.

Chris Smith has always been a writer at heart, as well as an avid reader. It started off with poetry and he finally took the plunge in 2014 and started writing Blood On The Range: Caught In The Crossfire. It was a hobby until he got a review describing it as "a well done story in style of classic Western tales from the 40's-60's". And that was the spur he needed to really get stuck in and start writing seriously. He is writing both Western and Fantasy novels and is aiming for a new book every month.


His books are often described as 'exciting', 'action from start to finish', and having 'incredible plots'. Chris is a great fan of Agatha Christie, Robert Ludlum, Louis L'Amour, and Dick Francis, and he likes to bring a bit of mystery and suspense into his stories. He's created a shared universe for his Western characters that has them featuring in each others' titles and his Steve Savage, Bounty Hunter series is well under way and brings something unique and intriguing to the Western genre, and, along with his Daemon Queller fantasy series, has the makings of a TV series about it.


When he isn't writing, Chris enjoys hunting, fly fishing, and hitting the beach.

Adam Hulse studied film and screenwriting as a means to direct his creative impulses into something worthwhile. After years of getting side-tracked by the D.I.Y. music scene, he realised that his talents lay elsewhere. It took a global pandemic for Adam to start once again to create his own worlds to escape into. Adam wrote the Tales of Tupuqa series during this period in an attempt to explore the very best and worst behaviours that humans display in times of crisis. His dark fiction is not only heavily influenced by the horror and action movies of his childhood, but also by his own social commentary from within a small town in decline. He likes to create creatures unseen before but concedes that sometimes it’s the people who walk among us who are the scariest of all. Join in him in his dark worlds.

Greg Stumbo writes along the Crystal Coast of North Carolina. Well, not actually along the coast, since the tide would wash it away. You get the idea. His writing had previously been interrupted by becoming other things such as a father to two amazing boys, a veteran of Army Rangers, a plumber, a musician, a business owner and comedian, to name a few. Most days now are spent entertaining people with witty banter and stupid jokes in whatever form is handy at the moment. Regardless of where it is – in a book, in a bar, or a porch – he's keeping someone somewhere entertained in some fashion. Even if it's just to see what crazy thing comes next!

Fred Wiehe is a bestselling author and a member of the Horror Writers 
Association. Although he considers himself a horror writer first and 
foremost, his novels, books, short stories, poems, and screenplays 
crossover genres into science fiction, fantasy, mystery, suspense, and 
crime thrillers. Do you believe you have the courage to face the dark, 
mystic, alternate worlds and realities within the pages of his fiction 
and the monsters--some human and some not--who inhabit those worlds 
and realities? If so, sit a spell, turn the lights down low, find 
protection against the preternatural chill, and take the time to 
explore his work. But beware. Don't lose yourself too much within the 
stories. You never know who or what might be lurking behind you in the 
shadows and the gloom.

Duncan Brockwell is a full time dental technician from West Sussex in the UK, an avid gardener and part-time mixologist, meaning he loves mixing cocktails of an evening for his wife, Beks. 


He writes crime thrillers, horrors and romantic dramas in his spare time, toiling away on his laptop on his purple couch in front of the TV. Duncan considers himself a hobby writer, but enjoys nothing more than reaching new readers, and reading reviews, whether good or bad, as everyone’s opinions are valid.


His first book, The Southern Belles, was self-published under his pseudonym, Katie Simpkins, in July 2019 and has received positive feedback. Since then, Duncan has had a further seven books published under two labels on Amazon, ranging from police procedurals and psychological thrillers to horror and fantasy. Horror is far and away his favourite genre to read, write and watch.

Ezekiel Kincaid resides in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with his four children and a cat. When he’s not working, writing horror, or doting on his family, he likes to train in martial arts. The only other language he is fluent in is sarcasm. He has been published by many different horror presses and writes for House of Stitched Magazine, Puzzle Box Horror, and Horror Bound. For fun, Zeke enjoys watching people get in socially awkward circumstances. He also loves wrestling promo videos from the 80's. Zeke is an ordained minister and served in full time ministry for twenty years. He uses his three theology degrees to influence his work, and writes in various styles and sub-genres of horror. The greatest compliment fans attribute to his writing is the various styles he writes in are so versatile, it's hard to believe they come from the same author. And no, Zeke does not have a split personality disorder.

When not writing, Jamie is a fervent, life-long gamer. He can be found every Friday night with long-time friends playing any number of online RPGs and, during the weekend, building and painting his countless Warhammer armies, playing any chance he gets. He also enjoys reading, music, traveling, searching for the best bar-b-que and being fueled by endless coffee and kombucha. He is forever searching for the perfect haunted home to live in since his condo is simply not large enough for a proper library or laboratory.

Michael A. Kozlowski is a native of Detroit, MI, where he still resides. He mostly creates stories of horror and suspense and has a tendency to shy away from happy endings. 

When not writing, Mike enjoys fronting a rock and roll cover band, playing guitar, dabbling in fine art and graphic design so he doesn’t feel like he completely wasted all that time in college, and exploring the hidden gems and cultural offerings of Detroit; a city that still surprises him and that he is proud to call home.

Michael has gathered a number of his published works into the 5-star reviewed collection Some Days Suck, Some Days Suck Worse, which has received accolades from the likes of Bram Stoker award winner, Weston Oches and bestselling author Jay Wilburn.

His debut novel, Angel of Death, has been well received by many of his fellow horror authors and his mom; who is the only person that actually calls him Michael and would like to remind you that he is a very special boy and that everyone should buy his books and make him famous.
