Juleigh Howard-Hobson is most widely known for her modern poetry. Which is written in form. Working under the principle that taboos --even literary ones-- must always be challenged, she also writes fiction, creative non-fiction, reviews and articles. In various genres. From literary to pulp horror.

Recognition for her poetry spans decades, from the1980 ANZAC Day Award (in Australia) to nominations for Best of the Net, the Pushcart Prize, the Rhysling Award and the Elgin Award.

Her first chapbook, Sommer and Other Poems (RavensHalla Arts Pub. March 2007), sold out its premier edition. The illustrious Red Salon Press brought out Our Otherworld, her Elgin Award nominated collection of formal numinous poems. Her most recent book is Curses, Black Spells and Hexes: A Grimoire Sonnetica (Alien Buddha Press, July 2021).

Individual poems have appeared in scores of venues, across the globe, including 34 Orchard, Mooky Chick, Midnight Echo. Silver Blade, Capsule Stories, Faerie Magazine, Enchanted Conversation, Star*Line, Eye to the Telescope, Polu Texni, Illumen, Riddled with Arrows, Verse Wisconsin, The Lyric, Able Muse, Mezzo Cammin, The Raintown Review, Hip Mama Magazine, Mobius, 14 by 14, The Barefoot Muse, Umbrella, Poemeleon, Mandragora (Scarlet Imprint), Caduceus: The Poets at Art Place Vol 8 (Yale University), Poem, Revised: 54 Poems, Revisions, Discussions (Marion Street Press), Five Minutes at Hotel StormCove (Atthis Arts), Weaving the Terrain (Dos Gatos), Lift Every Voice (Kissing Dynamite) along with many other places.

Her fiction, though lesser known than her poetry, has appeared in such varied places as the Liars League, The New Southern Fugitives, The First Line, Her Story, Key Hole Magazine, Going Down Swinging, The Cantibrigian, History is Dead (Permuted Press), The Knitters Gift (Adams Media), and Alien Days (Castrum Press).

A firm believer in throwing literary breadcrumbs in any path that may hold them, her wide-faring non-fiction appears in many guises, from arcane journals such as Witch Way Magazine, Northern Traditions, and The Journal of Contemporary Heathen Thought all the way to the traditional/maternal/personal such as The Tishman Review, Devolution Z, Got Milk? (Demeter), Chick Ink (Simon and Schuster), and Ex-Pat (Seal Press).

Born in the south of England, raised in both the US and Australia, she currently lives in the rainy grey US Pacific Northwest, right beside a dark deep forest. Off grid, dropped out, and quite happy in her defiant otherworld. There are ghosts. And magic.

Heidi Voss’ debut novel Frogman’s Response has been praised as being “instantly engaging” and her award winning short fiction has been featured in multiple anthologies. When not writing or promoting her work, she enjoys video games and training at an MMA gym.

C.R. Langille spent many a Saturday afternoon watching monster movies with their mother. It wasn't long before they started crafting nightmares to share with their readers. They are a retired, disabled veteran with a deep love for weird and creepy tales. This prompted them to form Timber Ghost Press in January of 2021. They are an affiliate member of the Horror Writer's Association, a member of the League of Utah Writers, and they received their MFA: Writing Popular Fiction from Seton Hill University.

C. H. Lindsay (Charlie) is an award-winning poet, writer, housewife, and book-lover—not necessarily in that order. She currently has short stories and poems in over twenty anthologies (so far). Her poems have also appeared in magazines including Amazing Stories, Space and Time, Strange Horizons, Fantasy Magazine, and The Leading Edge. She is working on five novels, six short stories, and at least two dozen poems (although the numbers are always in flux).

She is a member of SFWA, HWA, SFPA, LUW, and is a founding member of the Utah Chapter of the Horror Writers Association. Mostly blind, she lives in Utah with her “seeing-eye husband,” library of books, and a bossy cat. In 2018 she became Al Carlisle’s literary executor. She now publishes his true crime under Carlisle Legacy Books, LLC.

Caryn Larrinaga is an internationally best-selling mystery and horror author. She has won multiple awards for her work, including the League of Utah Writers Silver Quill and the Cat Writers Association Muse Medallion. In 2021, she was named Writer of the Year by the League of Utah Writers.

Watching scary movies through split fingers terrified Caryn as a child, and those nightmares inspire her to write now. Her 90-year-old house has a colorful history, and the creaking walls and narrow hallways send her running (never walking) up the stairs. Exploring her fears through writing makes Caryn feel a little less foolish for wanting a buddy to accompany her into the tool shed.

Caryn lives near Salt Lake City, Utah, with her husband and their clowder of cats. Visit www.carynlarrinaga.com for free short fiction and true tales of haunted places.

I write speculative fiction, poetry, essays, articles, and edit publications. I enjoy the Avant-Garde nature of the creative arts and humanities which is reflected in my writings.
