Tim Lewis

Author Spotlight: Tim Lewis, author in the Hidden Villains anthology with his story, Accomplice.

The inspiration for the story started, as with most of my stories, the ending and then backtracking to fill pockets. I have been writing and reading several noir stories and a recent rewatch of the Usual Suspects started the impetus of the tale. My other noir-like story, Switch, was published in the 2019 JordanCon Anthology, and my new urban fantasy story, Twelve, will be published in the 2022 JordanCon Anthology; both edited by Richard Fife.

Sara Jordan-Heintz

Author Spotlight: Sara Jordan-Heintz, author in the Hidden Villains anthology with her story, The Acquisition of Vidalia Somerset.

I’ve had the characters and outline for The Acquisition of Vidalia Somerset in my head for about a decade. I’m a journalist, but my fiction has always been decidedly macabre. “The Twilight Zone” serves as inspiration. My novella “A Day Saved is a Day Earned” was published in Rod Serling Books’ anthology “Submitted For Your Approval” edited by Anne Serling.

Our First Anthology

June 11, 2021

We’re fully funded to undergo our first anthology, “Hidden Villains”. We’ve got Robyn Huss in place as our editor, and are in discussion with the cover design artists. It will take a while to get the submissions in and pick through them, but we hope to be edited and in place to publish by spring of 2022.
