Anthony currently resides in Maine with his wife and daughter, and is living a full and happy life.
James Flynn

James's work has appeared in Black Petals Magazine, Yellow Mama Magazine, The Scare Room Podcast, Weird Mask Magazine, Patty’s Short Stax Anthology, Local Haunts Anthology, Lurking in the Dark Anthology, Alien Buddha Press and Horror Hill Podcast. When he is not writing, James Flynn can sometimes be found rummaging through shelves in second-hand bookstores, or wandering aimlessly through the streets of the secret city in which he now lives.
