J. W. Jones

I was born in Dayton OH. but moved to Detroit Mi. after mothers passing. I went to an all girl school which explains my 28 tattoos. I am obsessed with all things horror and just movies in general. I collect medieval weapons and have been told my genealogy makes me part Viking, so when I depart this mortal coil I am expecting a Viking funeral but with bagpipes. Blaze of glory and loud as hell! Writing my very first novel. Part horror, fantasy, sex and violence, with a little quantum physics thrown in for good measure. One of my other great passions are animals. Love them all and fight for their rights everyday.

Sara considers her mother a very brave and hard working woman for raising her four kids as a single parent while putting herself through school for a psychology degree. Castro says she gets her work ethic and determination from her mother. Castro comes from a big family of musically inclined aunts and uncles which in turn explains why she's been involved in the arts in some capacity: singing, acting and dancing. She attended a bilingual magnet grammar school where she learned about different cultures and the arts. Throughout her childhood she developed an enrichment for both her cultures; Sara is proud of her Colombian American roots.


Castro attended Columbia College Chicago for a bachelors degree in the arts and Journalism. Her first job out of college was a Reporter for CBS Palm Springs, California. She quickly realized hard news was not her forte which led her to start her own production company producing tourist entertainment television shows which she host and wrote. A couple years later Sara had the itch to return to her roots. She took a leap of fate and moved to Los Angeles to become a full-time actress. Castro has been living her dream ever since. She's done her share of character work in different independent films and has established a credible name for herself in Hollywood. She's best known for her role of Carmen in "The Shift" starring Danny Glover.

Liane Moonraven

started writing stories just about the time she was able to hold a pencil. Growing up in pre-Internet days, Liane acquired “pen pals” from around the world that, for a time, sated her love for writing. She wrote a LOT but it wasn’t until she attended college and enrolled in a Creative Writing course, that she began to take her writing seriously. She was strongly encouraged by her professor to hone her talent because Liane had “a natural gift for story-telling”.

Moonraven published her first award-winning novel in 2012 and followed up by publishing other shorter stories and novellas. She also joined a few writers’ groups and that’s when her writing really took off. As a role play writer (yes, in a King Arthur role play group!), writing with some the best writers on the Internet, Liane learned the sacred art of character development and weaving intricate plots and storylines. She practiced precision writing by participating (and winning) drabble contests, often landing on exactly one hundred words in the first shot. Making it to becoming a Finalist in one of the NYC Midnight writing contests, Liane continued to work at honing and polishing her gift.

By 2015, Liane had written her first full feature film script and also created The Carmen Online Theater Group, where she is Writer, Director and Executive Director of the online network. With her experience as an FM radio personality and a seasoned podcaster, Liane was able to combine all her talents into one project for the first time.

Moonraven began writing the first few episodes of her audio theater horror program, titled, The Burbs, an all original series that is based on actual true events that she experienced while living a certain suburb for ten years.

In April 2016 Moonraven joined forces with cinematographer, Ian Dangerfield from the UK and penned a script for the short film, Clarington - Darkness Awakens, which would serve as a prequel to the audio horror serial, The Burbs. Dangerfield is known for his work on the BBC, Skye, Channel Four and many other media outlets in England. The Darkness Awakens collaboration was such a success, the duo teamed up again later, in July 2016, armed with a full feature script based on an idea by Dangerfield and written by Moonraven. Liane flew to England and the psychological thriller, Paper Angels, was filmed in its entirety in the West Midlands, UK.

Liane is hugely influenced and inspired by Edgar Allan Poe, Alfred Hitchcock, Brahm Stoker and Stephen King and believes she has found a way to weave each one of those great author’s writing style into her own.

Liane Moonraven lives in a suburb of Washington, D.C. where she loves to cook, play with her dogs, work in her garden and commune with nature.   www.lianemoonraven.com
