Fiona Faith Ross is a screenwriter and fiction writer, living in the rainy and cold west of England. She writes mostly about family relationships and misunderstandings in Young Adult & Teen, Romance, Magical Realism & Fantasy genres, with a smattering of old and new technologies. Physical travel may be forbidden or limited these days, but our imaginations will take us anywhere. She also writes Occult and Supernatural Horror under F. F. Ross.

Claire Rye’s self-assessment as an "old-school head banging, vegetarian, nature loving, history fan and sci-fi geek" captures the eclectic nature of her interests and influences.

Understandably, her self-published novels are diverse in genres. Ranging from fantasy, science fiction, mystery to erotica.

Claire’s non-conformist writing style means each book is unpredictable. However, regardless of the category of story, the quirky yet relatable characters and surprising revelations make for a rewarding journey.

Claire Rye started to explore the world of writing in 2015 when her flair for the written word was discovered accidentally. She kept an informal blog while travelling through the United States and Europe. Claire found that her love of the unconventional helped her to look beyond the superficial. She discovered the ability to see ‘the story behind the story’ of the people and places she encountered.

An overwhelmingly positive and excited response to her travel blog triggered a curiosity that lead to an expansion of her story telling.

Claire Rye was born in Sydney Australia and currently lives on the Gold Coast. She continues to travel and develop her writing skills. You can find out more about Claire Rye and her works at www.clairerye.net

Aaron is a horror fan through and through. Books, films, art; he has always loved the idea of being scared. Having studied film and art for years, he began to push his desire to write. Most of his time is taken up with family and his hyper three year old daughter. When he has time he tries to get what he can down on paper and has a couple of books in the works (which will hopefully see fruition eventually) as well as writing for his own blog and a couple of websites.

I live in the Lake District and this inspires my writing. This is the dark and dangerous reality of the area rather than the chocolate box image most people know.

I write for Film, TV, Stage, Radio and Short Stories in a range of Genres. My style is surreal with a dash of humour. The main characters in my work range from Tweenies to their 80s because I believe all people are fascinating. Most are outsiders because they have no urge to conform.

Some people tell me I am much easier to live with when I am writing. Others back off as I chat to my characters, aloud, in public.

Hope you enjoy my work.

An engineer by trade but started an interest in screenwriting about 5 years ago preferring drama, horror and thrillers.

Simon Cluett's disturbing new pageturner - the psychological thriller 'Minotaur' - is out now. His collection of short horror stories, 'Tales from the Dark Library', is also available. He is a regular contributor to Scare Street's 'Terror in the Shadows', and 'Tavern of Terror', anthology series.

Michael took a long time to realise that writing is what he likes doing and that fantasy worlds are where he feels at home. He is an avid reader and has dabbled in writing poetry and short stories. He has written many short film scripts, some of which have been made into films, and is an active participant in various writing groups for both screen and books. During the lockdown, he has used the discipline of writing every day to start his first novel. It is set in a fantasy world that his live-roleplaying and reenactment friends would love to visit, where magic is real and his 13-year-old female protagonist is discovering that not everything is always as it seems.

Physicist by training, silicon chip architect by profession and sci-fi fan by inclination. For nearly four decades of technical day job, I've been chasing electrical signals through circuits and systems, wringing out the information they are trying to hide, battling with the monsters lurking within murky forests of transistors. Think of me as the Van Helsing of electronic design.

Over the years I've written a lot of stuff to mentor and encourage others to follow in my tracks - but it only recently occurred to me to make the leap from fact to fiction. So in the precious fragments of spare time that present themselves, I work on short stories, novels and feature screenplays in the sci-fi, technothriller and horror spaces. You'll find me somewhere on the what-if to what-the-Hell continuum...

Jane writes novels, short stories and poems, usually with a good dose of humour in them. She probably owes it all to her late grandmother who also wrote short stories and poems. She tends to get an idea and then run with it whether it be a 100 word short story or an 80 thousand-word novel. It all depends on the voices in her head at the time…

Paul is a Kentish Man (not a Man of Kent, there's a difference), who now lives in Oxford.

He was educated at Dover College Prep School, Folkestone, before moving to Milner Court and then The King's School Canterbury.

Academically he was one of the best in his year, but he burnt out after GCSEs and couldn't really be bothered with A-Levels. He snuck into The University of Nottingham to study manufacturing engineering, but quit just after a year. He switched to Business Studies at Nottingham Trent, but soon packed that in and gave up on academia completely to pursue a career writing films.

He fell into gardening on-and-off for a few years, before flying to Australia, where he spent most of the time in Sydney and worked in a Sex Shop. Whilst attempting to write film scripts, he also had some Erotica published, which he regards as 'Way better than anything EL James ever wrote'.

After returning from Down Under, he eventually moved to London where he soon found a 'proper job' in Press Cuttings, but got fired after a year. This pattern continued in his next job, a photographer for an estate agent, which he also left just after a year.

He slowly pressed on with scriptwriting, whilst dabbling in the world of Film Extras. He consequently wrote a popular blog on the topic for www.bleedingcool.com.

In 2012 he finally pulled his finger out, and in 2013 won an award and much acclaim for an online advert for PlayStation. He followed this up with his directorial debut for Shell, which had millions of views worldwide, and went on to make numerous commercials for brands such as Chevrolet, Castrol and Lycamobile.

He's now focusing on music videos and shorts, with the goal of writing and directing his own feature film soon.

Outside of film, he enjoys rugby and correcting other people's grammar. His Native American name is ‘Runs with Scissors’ and his favourite sub-atomic particle is the Gluon. He dislikes skinny jeans on men and talking about himself in the 3rd person.

John Read started writing in the 1970s with comedy sketches on Television & Radio. His short stories and articles have been seen in Newspapers & Magazines from Ireland to Australia.

His work has gained superb reviews from readers and various websites. Many have won the much coveted 'Cherry Award' on the highly respected literary website ABC Tales.

Two of the short stories from his book, 'The Man Who Couldn't Stay Dead,' were independently selected for a compilation book, 'Twisted,' which knocked Stephen King from the top of the Amazon best sellers chart.

One of those stories, 'Summer Sky,' won a prestigious award at a 'red carpet' London ceremony.

Two stories have been re-written as screenplays, one of which has been compared to Dickens, Narnia and The Snowman.

He is also a songwriter, once signed to Warner Chappell, and with songs on Spotify, Apple, Amazon and other internet platforms. He shares credits with Paul McCartney on an album released in the USA by a British Chart group.

He is a member of the RBSA. (Royal Birmingham Society Of Artists.) where his work has been exhibited.

In previous incarnations he has worked as a photographer, carpenter and a Theatre Stage Manager. (Where he was taught to play the piano by Victor Borge, amongst others.)

He has climbed mountains for Alzheimers Research and part of the profits from his writing is donated too.
