Unearthly Sleuths
- C.W. Blackwell was born and raised in Santa Cruz, California where he still lives today with his wife and two children. His passion is to blend poetic narratives with pulp dialogue to create beautiful and rhythmic genre fiction. He writes mostly dark fiction and weird westerns.

- Charlotte Frankel has been writing seriously for the past five years. Comedy and flash fiction are her particular passions. She lives in the North West of England, and in between all the writing tries to fit in working as a shop assistant.
- Andrew Johnson was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and currently lives in northern Arizona. To date, his fiction has been published in magazines like Tales of the Talesman and Nebula Rift. In addition to writing, he is also an avid photographer and carver.
- Stephen Smith realized early in life that his path was going to be forever engaged in the business of the future. From creating in code, to imagining possible tomorrows in prose, the future is never far away. The founder of a successful consulting and software development company, and an avid programmer and technophile, Stephen is equally fluent in the language of men, and that of machines. In his spare time, Stephen speaks of himself in the third person, and maintains 365tomorrows.com, featuring a new piece of flash fiction daily, on the wire since 2005.
- Kimber Camacho lives in California and has been married to the same wonderfully talented partner for a surprising number of years. She's been making up stories most of her life; from crayons on construction paper to word processing programs. A voracious reader, Kimber also enjoys a wide variety of music, and has dabbled in other artistic endeavors like drawing and sculpting. She regularly participates in writing-oriented AO3, Dreamwidth, LiveJournal, and Tumblr communities.
- C. A. Harland started drawing from the moment she could hold a pencil. With a head full of characters, it seemed only natural to sketch them out. It wasn't until years later that she also started writing them down and turning them into stories. In 2012 she completed a Fiction Writing course. It is through the support of the fellow writers from this course that her debut novel Sol.Terra was completed.
- A.R. Collins lives in England, and teaches English language and literature to small groups of teenagers, a job which she loves. Exposed to children's classics from a young age, she has always loved stories, and wanted to write her own before she learned how to write. Her writing website and blog can be found at http://arcollins.weebly.com/.
- Melissa Swanepoel lives in Austin, TX and has trouble writing 3-4 sentence bios about herself. She much prefers stringing together less realistic sentences about people that do not exist. Melissa lives with too many plants and sounds regrettably foreign no matter where she goes.
- Shondra Snodderly hails from Saint Joseph, Missouri. When she is not wrangling kids or making seasonal desserts, she can usually be found wrestling a new story onto the page. Other works of hers can be read on Smashwords or listened to on YouTube.
- G.H. Finn keeps his real identity secret, possibly in the forlorn hope of one day being mistaken for a superhero.
Having written non-fiction for many years, G. H. Finn decided to start submitting short-stories to publishers in 2015 and was flabbergasted when the first story he'd ever submitted was selected.
Since then he has had a wide range of fiction published and especially enjoys mixing genres in his work, including mystery, horror, steampunk, dark comedy, detective, supernatural, speculative, folkloric, Cthulhu mythos, sci-fi, spy-fi, crime and urban fantasy. - Johannes Svensson has been making up stories for almost as long as he has been reading them. His mind is drawn to the odd and strange, and he has a love for things that shake his perceptions of the world. Currently he is preparing for the inevitable collapse of society by studying software development, which he assumes will be somehow useful in the apocalyptic wasteland.
- Damon L. Wakes was born in 1991 and began to write a few years later. He holds an MA in Creative and Critical Writing from the University of Winchester, and a BA in English Literature from the University of Reading.
Every year since 2012, Damon has produced one work of flash fiction each and every day during the month of July. He usually writes humour and horror, occasionally at the same time. Tackling so many stories with such a short word count has given him a knack for well structured narratives formed of tight prose. - R. J. Howell is a writer, an artist, and a library circulation clerk. She holds a BA in Fiction Writing from Columbia College Chicago. Her art has been published in L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Vol. 28. This is her first fiction publication.
- Ariel Ptak is an artist and writer with a deep love for the legendary and fantastic. She has been previously published in Spellbound and Prairie Winds literary journals. More of her work can be found on Wattpad (wattpad.com/user/arptak).
