Page 14
Elliot Arthur Cross, author of "Crashing Mirrors" and "The Housesitter"
Elliot is a New England based author of gay-themed horror, mystery, young adult, and adult adult books. Who says you have to stick to one genre? He's been published by JMS Books and their imprint Queer Teen Press.
He's always had a passion for writing and loves all things horror and paranormal.
According to several on-line articles, an author should have some sort of backstory info in his or her bio. So his favorite pizza topping is Hawaiian, his favorite color is red, and his favorite cheese is extra sharp. He has never tasted a cheese too sharp. He wants to slice his tongue open on its insane sharpness.
Erin Callahan, author of "Black Holes"
Erin lives in New Hampshire with her husband and daughter. When she was a small child, she told her mother she'd defaced a wall with crayons because she'd been possessed by an imp. She's convinced that same imp drives her to write.
Check out her blog at erinpcallahan.com, or the YA urban fantasy series-in-progress she co-penned with her friend Troy H. Gardner at madworldseries.com. You can follow Erin on Twitter @ErinPCallahan.
Jonathan Hatfull, author of "Back Home" and "Search History"
Jonathan spent a lot of time inside as a teenager, which may be due to his discovering Candyman and Stephen King at far too young an age. He has an MA in writing from The University of Warwick and writes about genre film and television as features editor of SciFiNow magazine. His short fiction can be found at his too-infrequently updated blog Hatfull of Horror, and he's working on a novel that he promises will be better than the one he wrote at university.
Jonathan can be found rambling incoherently but passionately about Ginger Snaps, Poppy Z brite and horror movie sequels on Twitter @JonathanHatfull. He thanks you for your time and hopes you have a good night.

CAMP CARNAGE SAMPLE
Also available from Night Terrors
CAMP CARNAGE, a gay murder mystery by Elliot Arthur Cross & Joshua Winning
In the summer of 1986, Billy Collins is sent to his own personal Hell-summer camp. The remote Camp Genesis offers desperate parents a place to "straighten" out their gay teenagers with the help of the puritanical Katherine Creevey.
Besides the typical horsing around, campfire tales and summer games, the Genesis program forces gay and questioning teens into humiliating gender-based lessons. While Billy wants nothing more than to escape Camp Genesis, he can't help worrying that something even more sinister is hiding just out of sight.
Unknown to Billy, two campers were murdered three years ago. Just days after Billy and the new campers arrive, people start to go missing, and it's up to Billy and his new friend Jem to find out what's really going on. Is a maniac on the loose? Is history repeating itself? One thing's for sure-at Camp Genesis, you have to fight to survive...
