SUSAN GRISCOM is a featured artist at Sinister Book Fair 2026!

Susan writes paranormal and contemporary romance—steamy and sexy are the way they usually turn out. She's a huge fan of superheroes and bad boys confronted with extraordinary forces of nature, powers, and abilities beyond the norm, mixed with hot, blow-your-socks-off romance.

She grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania, doing a lot of daydreaming. It’s no big surprise that she writes romance stories since many nights as a child, she would lie awake fantasizing about her knight in shining armor.

Her wild imagination sparked her first story at the age of twelve, a story that her sixth-grade teacher adopted for the class play that year. Having never achieved fame and fortune with that play, she attempted life the normal way, working as a food lab technician, bartender, cell phone repair technician, and mom.

Now she lives in Northern California, where she still spends a lot of time daydreaming. She loves to drink w**e, and fortunately, there are several local w**eries close by. Together, she and her modern-day knight have five great superhero kids, ten mini-superhero grandkids, six grandpups, and a too-intelligent border collie named Xena Warrior Princess, who has stolen her heart and keeps her very active.

When she's not writing, she enjoys hanging out with friends and family, w**e tasting, dancing, kayaking, paddle boarding, and throwing a green ball for that very smart border collie.

Meet Susan at the inaugural Sinister Book Fair on Sunday, September 27th!

JULIAN DAVID STONE is a featured artist at the inaugural Sinister Book Fair 2026!

Julian David Stone has always been a creative at heart. When he realized in the ’80s that being in a band wasn’t in his cards, he began smuggling his camera into concerts – adventures he later chronicled in his best-selling coffee table book No Cameras Allowed: My Career As An Outlaw Rock & Roll Photographer. He moved to Los Angeles in his 20s to study filmmaking and wrote screenplays for Disney, Paramount, Sony and MGM, as well as a full-length play (The Elvis Test) and several short-form documentaries on Frank Sinatra for Warner Bros. He is also the writer and director of the cult comedy feature film Follow the Bitch. His award-winning debut novel, The Strange Birth, Short Life, and Sudden Death of Justice Girl, centers on the world of ’50s live television and is currently being turned into a TV series. His latest work, the historical fiction novel It’s Alive, is a vibrant portrait of 1930s Hollywood centered around the chaotic and exciting days just before the filming of the beloved classic film Frankenstein.

A.M. DUNNEWIN is a featured artist at the inaugural Sinister Book Fair 2026!

A. M. Dunnewin developed an early fascination with the darker side of storytelling, a love she inherited from her family. An affiliate member of the Horror Writers Association, she writes across genres, though her stories often take a dark turn when least expected. With a B.A. in Psychology, she is captivated by dark history, art, and the inner workings of the human mind. When she isn’t writing, she can be found hoarding books, drinking alarming amounts of coffee and tea, and digging into research that probably raises a few questions. She lives in Northern California.
