Adam Zayne Whitener lives in Louisville Kentucky with his daughter, their rescue cat, a loveable pit bull, and a toy poodle. He's been writing stories since the age of seven, and has dreamed of being an author since he was twelve. In high school, he played clarinet in marching band, was a member of the French, club, and winter guard. When he isn't writing or reading, he loves to travel and explore new places--especially caves. WEREWOLVES OF BRISTOL MANOR is his first novel.

ALLISON CHERNUTAN hopes to be a New York Times bestselling author of young adult fiction one day, but for now, she’s just trying to get all of the stories out of her head and into the world. She currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband Steven and their incredibly chill rescue dog Braunger. When her characters aren’t yelling at her to write more of these darn book things already, Allison can most often be found traveling to ride the next unique roller coaster on her list, or screaming out songs in the front row of a concert. Sky High is basically her favorite movie ever, and as a result, PYROKINETIC is her debut novel.

He graduated from Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, with an emphasis in Political Science. Cormac focuses his life today working with education, social issues, and animal rescue.

Lorne Dixon lives and writes off an exit of Interstate 78 in residential New Jersey. He grew up on yellow-spined paperbacks, black-and-white monster movies, and the thunder-lizard backbeat of Rock 'N Roll. He believes lawn darts should be legalized, Barbara Steele's portrait should be on our money, and William Hope Hodgson's The House on the Borderland should replace Ethan Frome in high school literature classes.
