Ben Pienaar was born in South Africa in 1991 and moved to Australia in 2000, where he lives and, more importantly, writes his days away. He also works two jobs to finance his crippling addiction to coffee, and spends his free time reading until his eyes hurt, and playing tennis.

After countless submissions, he got four stories published, ‘Beyond,’ ‘Dreamer,’ ‘Fair Trade,’ and ‘Till Death.’ The rest of his stories can be found on his website, free nightmares. His dream is to one day make drown men shiver with fear and traumatize small children. He writes obsessively, in the hopes that if he can only pass his nightmares on to others, they might leave him alone.

Ron J Cruz breathes and pens fiction in a hovel located in one of the seedier parts of Sacramento, California. While he teaches composition at Folsom Lake Community College, there are only a few vocations he hasn’t attempted. After a tour in the navy, a run through the police academy, writing for several newspapers, a stint in hell as a copy editor, years managing many random establishments (athletic clubs to laser tag arenas), time processing monetary transactions for a mutual fund company, and selling real estate after the market failed – he remembered he loved writing.

He has been published in “Sanitarium,” “69 Flavors of Paranoia,” “Not One of Us,” “Literary Orphans,” “Surreal Grotesque,” “Bewildering Stories,” and a few other publications.

He lives in Staffordshire, where is married to his beautiful wife, Jenni. He is a proud full time dad to his daughter, Bethany.

These stories, in turn, are read by his loving wife who immediately wonders whether or not she is sharing a bed with a crazy person.
