J Snow, creator, editor, author

J. Snow is a poet and author of psychological thrillers and tales of terror whose work has been described as disturbing, visceral, haunting, and powerfully evocative. Snow pulls inspiration from personal experience to provide readers a peek inside the splintered psyche of an abuse and abduction survivor while utilizing her unique insight of the depravities hidden behind the smiling faces of sociopaths to breathe life into harrowing characters that have both horrified and fascinated those of conventional morality for generations. Snow has had six short stories and fourteen poems accepted for publication in various anthologies, is the founder of the
Scribblers Writing Organization, editor of its newsletter  and author, co-administrator of its online writing community, and Co-founder of Blood Puddles — Silent Screams in Liquid Darkness: A Literary Journal of Horror, and still finds time to write daily. She is currently working on a debut novel and the first in a planned series of memoirs, a means to battle the stigma surrounding mental illness and give voice to abuse victims struggling to speak for themselves.  



Josh Darling, author

Born on Long Island, Josh Darling's first short story was published while he was still in High School. Struggling with learning disabilities, he dropped out of college and wandered across America. He worked oddball jobs to make ends meet, including short order cook, answering phones at the Home Shopping Network, and telemarketing for conmen. When not fishing, he's a full-time ghostwriter and editing guru. Currently, Josh Darling lives in Central Florida with the love of his life and their son.



Colin Palmer, author

Colin is young man of fifty-nine years who has been putting pen to paper over fifty of them. He began as most do, school environment with short essays receiving acclaim from both students and teachers. Beginning his first novel 14, using imagination and local knowledge, he set the scene for an epic novel that would take him almost 40 years to complete. During the 1990’s, a short-lived experience with an international publishing group somewhat soured his literary ambitions; however, taking the professional editing skills he learnt during this sojourn, he began the journey of improving upon that novel,then a second, and a third in quick succession.
Colin self-published those three novels plus a compilation of short stories in 2016. Colin still actively writes, the need never waning. He strives to write “different” for the sake of the art and for his own entertainment. The majority of his work is “old fashioned” story telling style in a surprising collation of genres ranging from horror to romance with heavy dashes of fantasy and paranormal. Colin's wish is for more people to read for pleasure, an escape from the critical world we all now live while he, born and bred in Australia, currently lives in Eastern Europe as the darkness is much more cathartic for creation.

“I write all of my work to entertain myself, and sometimes, the icing on the cake is that somebody else likes them as well!”
Colin Palmer



Andrea Delo, author

Andrea Delo is an author and poet. She will be self-publishing her first novel, In Her Eyes, by the end of 2017. She writes romance novels, and is beginning to delve into the world of supernatural romance. Andrea writes short stories, mainly of the horror genre, and her poems range from light to dark, depending on her mood. She is a self-described crazy girl, whose deepest thoughts are written into every piece of her work. If an interesting experience happened in her mind, it’s most likely written into a poem. Andrea resides in Pennsylvania, with her boyfriend, Eric, and her dog, Sammy. Her loves in life are coffee, reading, writing and men.



CL Steele, author

While CL Steele resides in Indiana, most of her time is spent dreaming up new worlds and magical places filled with complex characters on life journeys. Most of her work is the Sci-fi/Fantasy genre where she concentrates on Magical Realism, Near Future, and Futuristic worlds. She has been published in a few anthologies and is looking forward to the release of her novel PS--Death in 2018. As a contributing author, she hopes to write articles which help the new author get started and persevere in the writing world. 


Dr. Rick, author

Dr. Rick used to be an ER doc with over 50k encounters, all while dealing with a terminal diagnosis. After 30 years of that, he’s now retired and lives in Redmond, WA, home of Microsoft, with his husband of 14 years and their service dog, Felon. His son, a professional photographer, who will be 36 this year, lives with his wife in LA. Dr. Rick began writing free verse in 1996 shortly after the death of his “sister” of the same terminal diagnosis and has been published. He writes poetry inspired by struggles with stigma and exclusion aimed at promoting health and wellness in others as well as himself. His topics include mental health conditions, HIV-1 infections, and the intersection of the two, among other topics. A citizen of the Great NorthLeft (Puget Sound), Dr. Rick has lived in western Washington most of his adult life, minus an eighteen year hitch in and around Tampa Bay. He grew up in the Midwest and “escaped” to the northwest after university.
Dr. Rick thrives on critique and wants to thank everyone who has encouraged his work over the years. He feels extraordinarily blessed to continue to draw breath, and does his best to give back the abundant gifts he’s been given.



Brandon Scott, author

Brandon Scott is an author who scribbles macabre tales from the mountains of North Carolina and a musician who had been known to compose a lyric of two during his leisure time. His education in Clinical Psychology, where he studied the dark side of people before pursuing his writing career, has helped him create deeply haunting, multi-dimensional characters for his stories. After a stint with Scribner Inc., he took a hiatus from writing but never set down his pen. Within a decade, Brandon returned to the craft armed with some millage under his belt. His first attempt at getting published upon his return was successful with publication of his short story “Associate Boogeyman” in the Zombie Pirate Publishing anthology Relationship ADD Vice. He has since been a contributing author for the Scribblers Writing Organization newsletter, co-administrator of an online writing community, and Co-founder of Blood Puddles — Silent Screams in Liquid Darkness: A Literary Journal of Horror, and still continues to spin stories daily. If Brandon isn’t hiking up the mountains that inspire him, then he is dabbling in history, literary classics, or blackjack, but most nights he’s up listening to the voices — voices that pull him into the darkness with “what ifs” and he writes down every word they say…
