By day, Jasie is a paralegal lackey in NYC. This line of work has finally convinced her that she really doesn’t want to be a lawyer. She’d rather be a starving poet. She lives in Queens with her girlfriend Lucy and their dashing python, Jon Snow. (He knows nothing.)
You don’t find Jasie. She finds you…

Jason T. Graves
“Sand and Smoke”
Jason T. Graves is an author, editor, and illustrator with a somewhat unhealthy fascination for folded and bound paper. He spent a bit of time acquiring some small rectangles of such material for the walls of his man cave—something about toxicology and genetics, although he tries not to think about that too much. He likes dark beer, black coffee, and red wine, and you can find him, most days, spinning stories of similar gravity. The author of several obscure codices on vampires, fairies, and other bump-in-the-night critters, he invites you to enjoy cheese.

Liz Schulte
“Dire Offering”
Many authors claim to have known their calling from a young age. Liz Schulte, however, didn't always want to be an author. In fact, she had no clue. Liz wanted to be a veterinarian, then she wanted to be a lawyer, then she wanted to be a criminal profiler. In a valiant effort to keep from becoming Walter Mitty, Liz put pen to paper and began writing her first novel. It was at that moment she realized this is what she was meant to do. As a scribe she could be all of those things and so much more.
When Liz isn't writing or on social networks she is inflicting movie quotes and trivia on people, reading, traveling, and hanging out with friends and family. Liz is a Midwest girl through and through, though she would be perfectly happy never having to shovel her driveway again. She has a love for all things spooky, supernatural, and snarky. Her favorite authors range from Edgar Allen Poe to Joseph Heller to Jane Austen to Jim Butcher and everything in between.
