JULIE STRAUSS
Julie Strauss lives, reads, writes, cooks, and gardens with her husband and four children in Southern California. She is known in some circles as "that weird bookish lady who talks to her plants" and in other circles as "that foul-mouthed wine drinker who laughs at inappropriate moments." She loves you as a person but does not care about your cats unless you have taught them how to talk. Come visit her at www.juliewroteabook.com
MARK LESLIE
Mark Leslie would be the first person to admit he's still afraid of the monster under his bed. And yet, he has long been drawn to writing books that dwell on the shadows. Maybe it's therapy. But he enjoys going it. He writes urban fantasy, horror, thrillers, and true ghost stories. And he often travels with a life-sized skeleton named Barnaby Bones when doing book events. When he's not writing he can be found haunting craft beer establishments or howling at the moon. Find mark online at www.markleslie.ca
