L.C. Mortimer loves ghosts, zombies, and monsters. Her work features diverse characters who explore unexpected places and find monsters they didn't plan to meet. Mortimer especially loves any type of horror story that has a mysterious twist. Her latest series, Stay Dead, features the zombie apocalypse and a group of cruise ship survivors. Mortimer lives in Kansas with her family. We're proud to have her story--The Castle Cauchemar--appear in SWORDS IN THE SHADOWS.
