Jodi Jensen, author of time travel romances and speculative fiction short stories, grew up moving from California, to Massachusetts, and a few other places in between, before finally settling in Utah at the ripe old age of nine. The nomadic life fed her sense of adventure as a child and the wanderlust continues to this day. With a passion for old cemeteries, historical buildings and sweeping sagas of days gone by, it was only natural she’d dream of time traveling to all the places that sparked her imagination.

Tim Mendees is a rather odd chap. He's a horror writer from Macclesfield in the North-West of England that specialises in cosmic horror and weird fiction. A lifelong fan of classic weird tales, Tim set out to bring the pulp horror of yesteryear into the 21st Century and give it a distinctly British flavour. His work has been described as the love-child of H.P. Lovecraft and P.G. Wodehouse and is often peppered with a wry sense of humour that acts as a counterpoint to the unnerving, and often disturbing, narratives.

Tim is the author of over one hundred published short stories and novelettes, seven novellas, and two short story collections. He has also curated and edited several cosmic horror-themed anthologies.

When he is not arguing with the spellchecker, Tim is a goth DJ with a weekly radio show on The Feelgood Station, and the co-presenter of the Innsmouth Book Club Podcast & Strange Shadows: The Clark Ashton Smith Podcast. He currently lives in Brighton & Hove with his pet crab, Gerald, and an ever-increasing army of stuffed octopods.

Lisa Fox is a pharmaceutical market researcher by day and fiction writer by night. She enjoys crafting short stories across genres, but her passion is for Sci-Fi/Drama hybrids. For Lisa, there's no greater thrill than creating something out of nothing, in transforming life’s ‘what ifs’ to prose that flashes a mirror on the human condition. As a writer, nothing makes her happier than having readers say her work made them feel something or look at the world in a different way.

Lisa won the 2018 NYC Midnight Short Screenplay competition, placed third out of over 3000 writers in the 2018 NYC Midnight Flash Fiction contest, and secured an Honorable Mention in the 2020 competition. Her fiction has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize and Best Small Fictions. Her work is featured in various publications, including Uncharted, Dark Matter, Bards and Sages Quarterly, Metaphorosis, Theme of Absence, Luna Station Quarterly, New Myths, and Brilliant Flash Fiction, among others, as well as in various anthologies.

A resident of New Jersey in the USA, Lisa survives--and sometimes, thrives--amid the chaos of everyday suburban life. She and her husband are kept busy raising two teenage sons and adhering to the demands of their double-doodle dog.

Lisa is the author of Core Truths, a collection of 18 literary-speculative short stories. She is currently collating a number of additional short story collections, including a second speculative fiction anthology, a humor/satire book, a romance chapbook, and a literary collection focused on families.

Lisa hopes to begin working on a novel in the foreseeable future – she just needs to get those first few words on the page.

Lisa can be found on her website: lisafoxiswriting.com and on Twitter (@iamlisafox10800).

Frances writes novels and novelettes about vampires, and flash and micro flash aka drabbles about anything too slow to avoid being nailed to a page.

She lives in the North West of England and puts all that rainfall to good use as an avid gardener, notably of tomatoes and chillies. She enjoys visiting windswept historic sites around the UK, both romantic ruins and industrial icons and has a ‘bit of a thing’ for Hadrian’s wall. And steam trains. If it wasn’t for word processors, the internet and youtube's loop button, she would probably admit to being born in the wrong century.
