Therese Vannier and writing partner Michael Corbin Ray clearly share a love of storytelling, but they come at it from different perspectives. Vannier says she "was raised on a diet of schlocky horror and martial arts movies from the '70s, while Michael served time as an English major and occasionally aspires to commit literature."
