THE AUTHORS

 

Authors appear in the same order as in the circuit, starting with my blog (Sarah Zama). Refear to this list if you find any difficulty navigating the circui.

PLEASE NOTE: Denitta Ward has had to drop out of the hunt due to an emergency. Her book is still included in the package, but if you run up against a block, please move on to author Beem Weeks. The numbers will still add up in the end as Shari will be adjusting her blog as soon as she can

SARAH ZAMA

Born and raised in Verona (Italy), I've always loved to surround myself with books, so it may be a sort of karma that I ended up being a bookseller and an indie author. A fantasy reader since a kid, a Tolkien nerd almost as long, I've always being fascinated with history and old black-and-white mystery films, which may or may not have had a way in my involvement in the dieselpunk community. "Ghosts Through the Cracks" is my fist publish novella. I'm currently working at more historical fantasy stories set in the 1920s.

RUMER HAVEN

Rumer Haven is probably the most social recluse you could ever meet. When she's not babbling her fool head off among friends and family, she's pacified with a good story that she's reading, writing, or revising--or binge-watching Buffy. Hailing from Chicago, she presently lives in London with her husband and probably a ghost or two. Rumer has always had a penchant for the past and paranormal, which inspires her writing to explore dimensions of time, love, and the soul. Her award-winning work includes Coattails and Cocktails (First Prize Winner, 2018 Red City Review Book Awards) and What the Clocks Know (First Place Winner in General Fiction, 2017 Red City Review Book Awards).

RICHARD WALL

Born in England in 1962, Richard grew up in a small market town in rural Herefordshire before joining the Royal Navy. After 22 years in the submarine service and having travelled extensively, Richard now lives and writes in rural Worcestershire.
Richard’s stories reflect his life-long fascination with the dark underbelly of American culture; be it tales of the Wild West,  or the simmering menace of the Deep South, or the poetry of Charles Bukowski, or the writing of Langston Hughes or Andrew Vachss, or the music of Charley Patton, Son House, Johnny Cash, or Tom Waits.
A self-confessed Delta Blues music anorak, Richard embarked on a road trip from Memphis to New Orleans, where a bizarre encounter in Clarksdale, Mississippi inspired him to write his début novel, Fat Man Blues.
