Author: Writers After Dark

We’re S.K. Anthony and Raymond Esposito, your hosts at Writers After Dark. She writes those urban-fantasy–superhero-badass-chicks-with-a-touch-of-romance stories and he writes those dark fiction-things-that-go-bump-in-the night tales. When it comes to writing, we don’t agree on genre, but we do agree that . . . we love stories . . . and . . . that underneath all those quirky—sometimes introverted behaviors—writers, formatters, designers, and editors are the coolest people you’ll ever hang with. And one of the things we love most: hanging out in our mostly-sober, Writers After Dark studio and debating the merits of just about anything related to writing.
