Jimmy Gillentine grew up with a fondness for horror, science fiction and fantasy flavored with the southern tang of his native Memphis. His debut novella, "Of Blood and the Moon," was first published in 2009 and was the first runner-up for the Darrell Award. Other publications include a short story titled "Fifteen-Minute Break" in the annual anthology Cover of Darkness and a novella titled "A Night at Death's Door." His novel 'The Beast Within' begins the bittersweet story of Andrew and Angela, which continues in 'Crossroads', published by Inkstained Succubus Press.Currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in English literature at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Jimmy is a member of the Literary Underworld, Imagicopter and the Eville Writers, and is married to author Elizabeth Donald. If you want to get on his good side, bring him a bag of popcorn at the Literary Underworld booth; he's not known as the Popcorn Monster for nothing! Author's website www.jimmygillentine.com
