An Interview with V.S. Lawrence
V.S. Lawrence grew up in Utah being scared of everything. Now, she puts her fears on paper, writing spooky books that feel like Scooby-Doo chase music. When not writing, she can be found buried in a horror novel, wandering aimlessly, or cuddling her dog, Rigby. She is still scared of everything.
An Interview with M.M.D.A.
I’m M.M.D.A., the author of the Horns and Bark series. I write dark fantasy rooted in myth, moral conflict, and unforgiving worlds shaped by power, faith, and identity. My stories draw from folklore and medieval tones, focusing on flawed characters forced to confront brutal choices and uncomfortable truths. I’m drawn to the spaces where wonder and cruelty coexist, and where no decision comes without consequence.
An Interview with Beverly Thompson
Born in the UK, I grew up in a working-class home in Cheshire. I love animals and outdoor spaces. I enjoyed working hard at school, achieving ten O-levels, but couldn’t wait to start work. My first job began a twenty-eight-year career involving two-way radio communications, until a work injury meant I had to try a different role elsewhere.
An Interview with Steph Alcan
Born and raised in the South of France, I moved to the UK in my early twenties and have remained here ever since, primarily working as a digital designer.
An Interview with Chelsea Elliott
Chelsea Elliott grew up on a steady diet of monsters, magic, and heartbreak. Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Supernatural reruns taught her that the villain always has the better lines. Her love for Spike sparked a lifelong fascination with morally grey characters and the kind of dark romances that blur the line between ruin and redemption.
An Interview with Patrick Chuka
Patrick Chuka (b. 2000, Lagos, Nigeria) is a multidisciplinary artist and writer whose work explores the intersections of identity, spirituality, and human transformation.
An Interview with Helen Bland
Freelance novelist/screenwriter seeking screen media interest. Loves art galleries, beaches, forest walks, and people.
An Interview with C.C. Ford
Ford entered the world of writing towards the end of 2025 by releasing his debut novel, What Lies Through the Smoke. A mish mash of noir, thriller and dieselpunk, Ford hopes to continue the series by completing the sequel by the end of the year.
An Interview with Malaikah-Mai Lukonyomoi
Malaikah is a writer whose work centres on community, connection, and relatability. Her writing reflects lived experience, the frustrations of healing, and a raw outlook on life shaped by the desire to move forward. Her debut memoir, Becoming Undone, explores resistance, the refusal to stay broken, and resilience through a nonlinear, intimate reflection across time.
