The Hungry
Steven W. Booth has this crazy idea that he can make a living as a publisher and writer, and so far life has not disabused him of this. His  first short story, Jailbreak (co-written with Harry Shannon), has been published in three different anthologies, and has been downloaded about 20,000 times (for free, but what can you do?).Steven decided in early 2010 to finally use his MBA (much to his mother's delight) and start an author services company that helps writers self-publish. After building other people's books for 18 months,  he decided to become a publisher and build books for himself. Steven's first novel as both publisher and an author, The Hungry (also co-written  with Harry Shannon), was released in October, 2011, and has helped pay the rent. He has since published two books by writing great Ed Gorman, and has books in the pipeline from Gene O'Neill, Brian Knight, Carol Weekes, and Karl Alexander.Harry Shannon has been an actor, a singer, an Emmy-nominated songwriter, a recording artist in Europe, a music publisher, a VP of Carolco Pictures, and worked as a freelance Music Supervisor on films such as "Basic Instinct" and "Universal Soldier." He is now a counselor in private practice. His books include Dead and Gone (a Lionsgate movie), Daemon, the Mick Callahan novels Memorial Day, Eye of the Burning Man, One of the Wicked, and Running Cold, as well as the thriller The Pressure of Darkness. Shannon has won the Black Quill for Short Fiction, the Tombstone for Best Horror Novel and has twice been nominated for the Stoker.
