In his head, Jason Parent lives in many places, but in the real world, he calls New England his home. The region offers an abundance of settings for his writing and many wonderful places in which to write them. He currently resides in Southeastern Massachusetts with his cuddly corgi named Calypso. In a prior life, Jason spent most of his time in front of a judge . . . as a civil litigator. When he finally tired of Latin phrases no one knew how to pronounce and explaining to people that real lawsuits are not started, tried and finalized within the 60-minute timeframe they see on TV (it's harassing the witness; no one throws vicious woodland creatures at them), he traded in his cheap suits for flip flops and designer stubble. The flops got repossessed the next day, and he's back in the legal field . . . sorta. But that's another story. When he's not working, Jason likes to kayak, catch a movie, travel any place that will let him enter, and play just about any sport (except that ball tied to the pole thing where you basically just whack the ball until it twists into a knot or takes somebody's head off - he misses the appeal). And read and write, of course. He does that too sometimes.

Mark C. Scioneaux is employed as an industrial hygienist by day and a horror writer by night. His passion for the macabre left him dissatisfied with many of the zombie stories and movies shambling around, so he was determined to blaze a new trail – one littered with slick patches of gore and more than a few empty shotgun shells. He is an avid reader and movie lover and is always looking for a way to share a good story. He is the author of “Faye Believes,” “Riser,” “The Wanderer,” and “How Stopping a Zombie Invasion Will Get You Grounded.” His short story, “The Demon in the Water,” is published by Severed Dead Press. His newest short story, “How Slappy Ended Christmas,” appears in Dead Christmas: A Zombie Anthology. He is also the author of the thrilling zombie novel, Hollow Point, and the editor of the anthology, Bigfoot Tales. His smash-hit novelette, “The Glass Coffin,” is available for download on Kindle. He is also the founder of “Horror for Good,” a charitable anthology created with Cutting Block Press. It features some of the biggest names in horror as well as several rising stars. All proceeds from the anthology will go to amfAR, an international AIDS research charity. Mark is a graduate of Louisiana State University and currently resides in Baton Rouge, Louisiana with his wife, Jessica.
