<p>Stephen Thompson was born and raised in West Virginia. As a kid, Saturday mornings were meant for Westerns with his grandparents. At night, after everyone else had gone to bed, he would sneak and watch Chiller theater on a little black and white TV in the spare bedroom. These two early influences would lead to a life-long love of the Horror and Western genres. This love would spawn several film podcasts(JAFMP, Wanted: Alive or Preferably Dead), an acting stint in a horror film (Porkchop 3D), and finally, his own series of Western/Action/Horror/Fantasy novels.</p>
