William Allen Webb
Bob McGough
With more than 100 titles published, William Alan Webb survived a childhood in the tangled forests of West Tennessee, running alongside coyote packs and grappling bears for food. Eventually, his parent installed a thin veneer of 'civilized' behavior over his barbarian state, enough that he could graduate from the University of Memphis with dual concentrations in History and Creative Writing. Webb even fooled his beautiful wife Kathy into marrying him, and after 46 years she is still trying to figure out why she did such a foolish thing.

JC Morrows is a bookaholic, not plain or simple... She started reading at four years old and has never slowed down! When she started running out of books to read, she had to start writing new ones! The best-selling author of more than a dozen books spanning fantasy, dystopian, sci-fi, post-apocalyptic, action/adventure, survival, steampunk and urban fantasy, she writes for young adult, middle grade and adult audiences - with a thread of romance woven into each story. JC is the middle of three generations of authors, both mother to and daughter of an author! She reads in every genre she writes plus so many more! JC prefers hardbound books, but will read in any format she can get her hands on! She does own a Kindle and uses it whenever she happens to finish the other book(s) she carries absolutely everywhere with her. A true storyteller, JC is one of those authors who grew up thinking it was perfectly normal to make up wild and sensational stories, talk to people who weren’t there, and look at the world from a perspective that no one else understood... which is why she tends to write such fantastical tales!
Kristen began her career as a writer at the age of eighteen. Thief of Sorrows was the first novel she had ever considered putting onto paper. It will always hold a special place in her heart along with all of the characters. One in particular. Music is her biggest source of inspiration when it comes to writing. The Star Wars (mainly episodes I and III) and Lord of the Rings scores sit at the top of her Spotify playlist.
