For benevolent stalking please visit www.JenniferAnneGordon.com About the Author Jared Grace is the author of Isolation, his well-received debut horror novel that’s already making waves as a finalist for the Indie Ink Awards 2024 in a variety of categories, his well-received short story Cody (found in the book Timeless: A Horror Anthology Through the Ages), and his most recent novel, Beyond the Autumn Leaves. When he’s not working on his next spine-tingling tale, Jared is busy being a proud dad to his two incredible kids, Jordan and Wyatt, who keep him equally terrified and inspired (but in the best way).After a brief pit stop at Boston College, Jared earned not one but two bachelor’s degrees—English and history—from Southern New Hampshire University in 2014. Jared’s love for history, nature, travel, and the supernatural seeps into his stories, making them equal parts eerie, thought-provoking, and unputdownable. Whether he’s digging into spooky folklore or climbing a mountain, Jared finds inspiration everywhere—especially in the things that go bump in the night. About the Author: Nathan Guardian grew up in Salem, Massachusetts, where he walked with ghosts and then wrote about them. He recently completed a three-book witch series, which concluded with The Sinners of Salem, released in February of 2026. Guardian obtained a master's in English, primarily to become a better storyteller, as writing is his fiery passion. About the Author Matthew H. Jones writes—whether his work is good or bad, he leaves for the reader to decide, hoping they make the right choice. His fiction is contemplative, pulse-pounding, funny, and lyrical—or so he believes, though he admits he’s biased. A devoted Stephen King fan, he studied the dark arts of horror at the Master’s knee. As a blind, Black writer, he carved out his place in Lowell, Massachusetts, before moving to Manchester, New Hampshire. These days, he weaves tales of terror, drinks far too much coffee, and marvels—often in sheer bewilderment—at the antics of his two white stepchildren. His vision sits at 20/400, so if you value your life, don’t ask him to drive. But what he lacks in sight, he makes up for in imagination. Writing was always there, but never serious—until it was. Now, every novel is his best yet, and in his mind, a book isn’t a book without a reader. Without them, he wouldn’t write a single word.
