​The Living Remnants by Marc Johnson

Marc Johnson has moved a lot since his parents divorced when he was two. He also can't answer a straight question and has developed a taste for sarcastic wit over the years. Probably also for the same reason.
 
He hasn't won any awards, but he does have a deep knowledge of Transformers, Star Trek, and The Twilight Zone--his top three geeky loves. He writes because he loves stories and hopes to one day have written something successful as a movie, TV show, comic, book, magazine, and play.
 
Marc Johnson also loves to game, whether it be video, card, or board. He loves to test his mind in the challenges they bring...until the zombie, alien, or robot apocalypse comes.

Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Eyes by Mike Dennis

For thirty years, Mike Dennis was a professional musician (piano), retiring from full-time playing around 2003. He then became a professional poker player, and left Key West for Las Vegas. In late 2009, one of his novels was picked up by a publisher and he had to abandon poker to devote time to developing a platform for his books. Since then he has published five more novels, two novelettes, and numerous individual short stories. In December, 2010, Mike moved back to Key West.

In 2013, he had the opportunity to get into audiobook narration. Since then, he has over 40 audio titles available, about half in the crime/noir genre. His biggest title is I, The Jury by Mickey Spillane, the first Mike Hammer novel, which came out last summer. 

He married his lovely wife Yleana on a rooftop in Havana, Cuba, and they currently divide their time between their homes in Key West and Panama City, Panama.

Three Shorts by Geoff North

Geoff North was born in beautiful British Columbia and moved with his parents, three sisters, and two brothers to rural Manitoba before his first birthday. Since then, he has endured the extreme seasons in a way that only centrally located Canadians can appreciate. Geoff has been happily married for over twenty years to the wonderful Tamara, and is father to three exceptionally great kids - Autumn, Jenna, and Colby.

I grew up on comic books and bad television from the seventies. It helped to develop an already over-active imagination to the point where I created my own series of comics featuring dozens of wacky heroes and ridiculous villains. I've also dabbled in cartoon strips and have been a regular contributor of political cartoons to a number of local newspapers.
 
Throughout the years I realized my passion was more in writing than in illustrating, so the 21st century has seen me make the transition from drawing funny pictures to writing full-time. My love for old horror movies and comic books has been the main inspiration for my writing. Horror, suspense, science fiction… it all works for me.
