Some people grow into writing. Others are born to it…shaped, molded…You get the reference.

Connor Peterson has always found an escape in books. In elementary school, reading kept him out of trouble when he finished his classwork. In high school, he bargained with teachers not to confiscate his notebooks that ended up full of story prompts and character ideas. Now, he has a crippling coffee addiction and an obscene ability to recall song lyrics. Also, he writes books.

A fan of horror novels, superheroes, and video games, Connor writes urban fantasy with heavy romance tones. His stories are always gay, usually steamy, and often poly. Bonus points for making it historical.

P.W. Davies is the joint pseudonym of authors Connor Peterson and J.R. Wesley, to bring romantic twists to their dark fantasy worlds, both by reimagining their characters in normal, human situations; and bringing their more lustful and heartfelt endeavors into prose.

Our Anthology Authors

 Noree Cosper

Noree Cosper loves writing about magic in the modern world. While growing up in Texas she constantly searched for mystical elements in the mundane. She buried her nose in both fiction and books about Wicca, Religion, and Mythology. Everyday became an adventure as she joined a group of role-players, acting out her fantasies of vampires, demons, and monsters living in the world. She embraced her nerdom wholeheartedly. Noree grew, but never left her love for fantasy and horror. Her dreams pushed her and her hand itched to write the visions she saw. So, with her fingers on the keys, she did what her heart had been telling her to do since childhood. She wrote.

 Anya Harker

A writer masquerading as a law school grad masquerading as a musician masquerading as a literary scouting assistant. She’s not trying to be a jack of all trades, she just likes the creative side of life. Anya’s parents knew they were in trouble when, at the age of 5, she demanded a book just because it had a hard cover. As a result, her apartment is overflowing because he who dies with the most books wins. Now that love of reading and discovering new worlds has pushed her into the world of publishing… in every way possible. By day, Anya works for a prominent literary scouting firm in Manhattan and by night writes in coffee shops. To her, it’s not a bad life.

 Viktor James Night

Viktor James Night is a speculative fiction writer from Calgary, Canada with an interest in all things supernatural and horrific. The primary focus of his fiction is on vampires; not vampires as disposable minions or faceless villains, but as the once human creatures falling prey, and sometimes giving in, to the curse of their dark existence. While he feels there is plenty of room in the realm of science for tales of terror, Viktor prefers to keep stories of classic monsters such as werewolves, vampires and zombies, rooted firmly in the occult. He believes the modern compulsion to provide scientific explanations to everything has drained much of the fear and mystery out of the genre, for if our supernatural creatures aren’t breaking the laws of physics with displays of monstrous power beyond our ability to comprehend, then how can we call even call them supernatural anymore? As such, one of the major goals of his works is to return vampires to their rightful role as fearsome predators of the night, and once again make them something to truly fear.

 Dawn Nikithser

A writer who can turn his hand to most genres, Zack’s first love is, and will always be fantasy.
