Blake Myers grew up in a small town in Ohio, nestled between farms on one side and bustling suburbs on the other. Being a member of Gen-X, he spent more time outside than he did behind a screen or tucked between pages of a book. Matter of fact, he didn't become an avid reader until after university. And oddly enough, as a fan of horror, he was terrified of the dark as a child and got nightmares from the 1966 comedy film "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" starring Don Knotts. He took up horror novels and movies as a way to "cure" himself via exposure therapy—though he didn't even know that term at the time.

Being a member of Gen-X, he spent more time outside than he did behind a screen or tucked between pages of a book. Matter of fact, he didn't become an avid reader until after university. And oddly enough, as a fan of horror, he was terrified of the dark as a child and got nightmares from the 1966 comedy film "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" starring Don Knotts. He took up horror novels and movies as a way to "cure" himself via exposure therapy—though he didn't even know that term at the time.

After completing his bachelor’s degree in Religion and Philosophy in 2000, Blake took a different route in life and entered into education as a teacher and coach. As an bachelor, and prone to vagabondism, he moved around between several states and schools before returning to Ohio to settle down for a short stint.

During that time Blake had made several trips to the Czech Republic and had begun to fall in love with the country and culture. The beer and food (though both highly fattening) are divine in his opinion. He made strong relationships with some Czechs during his travels and he was eventually asked to come for a year to coach sports. He was granted a year sabbatical from work in 2011 and then moved to Prague. There he coached in the evenings and taught English during the day to pay the bills.

While he had only planned to stay for a year, that changed when he met his future wife. One year became two, which eventually become three, then four, then five. Next thing he knew he had a permanent residency, a wife, and a daughter (in that order). He now teaches ESL to adult professionals and a few students full time via a local language school.

At this point in life, Blake had conquered his fear of the dark and learned to laugh at "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken", but his love of horror, the paranormal, and all things unknown had taken hold. He now devours horror movies and novels, though he confesses his ADHD prevents him from reading as much as he'd like.

Blake's desire to write came when Netflix released "Stranger Things". He fell in love immediately and something clicked. He wanted to tell a story that powerful. Once he started his first novel, the wheels in his head started grinding out stories left and right. He has a long list he hopes to pen one day, but "Who Put Bella in the Wych Elm?" is the one he was most excited about and just had to put to paper—ADHD be damned. ...more
