Brad Strickland was born in New Holland, Georgia, in 1947 and has
written over seventy-five books in the intervening years. He is
also a professor of English at the University of Georgia in
Gainsville, about six miles from where he was born. He and his
wife, Barbara, have two grown children, both of whom have artistic
careers of their own. Their nest is not empty, however, as they
have three cats and two dogs, which is enough to keep them
busy.
John Bellairs (1938-1991) was beloved as a master of Gothic young
adult novels and fantasies. His series about the adventures of
Lewis Barnavelt and his uncle Jonathan, which includes The House
with a Clock in Its Walls, is a classic. He also wrote a series of
novels featuring the character Johnny Dixon. Among the titles in
that series are The Curse of the Blue Figurine; The Mummy, the
Will, and the Crypt; and The Spell of the Sorcerer's Skull. His
stand-alone novel The Face in the Frost is also regarded as a
fantasy classic, and among his earlier works are St. Fidgeta and
Other Parodies and The Pedant and the Shuffly. Bellairs was a
prolific writer, publishing more than a dozen novels before his
untimely death in 1991. Johnny Heller is an award-winning audiobook
narrator who has recorded hundreds of titles. A multiple Earphones
and Audie Award winner, he was named a 2008 and 2009 Listen Up
winner by Publishers Weekly and a Best Voice of 2008 and 2009--as
well as one of the top fifty voices of the 20th Century--by
AudioFile. A veteran stage, television, and commercial actor, he is
also a stand-up comic, author, and playwright.
