Throwing Stones At a Glass House!

Jerrimiah Stonecastle

Owner, Writer, Publisher

Jerrimiah Stonecastle is the award-winning author of more than fifty plus novels spanning horror, suspense, science fiction, political thrillers, and dark satire. Branded by readers as “The Next Name in Horror,” his work is known for its relentless pacing, morally complex characters, and an unflinching look at humanity when fear strips away civility. Stonecastle is the founder of Stonecastle Publications, LLC, where he publishes both his own work and select titles from emerging voices. His stories often explore power, obsession, institutional decay, and the thin line between survival and monstrosity—whether the threat comes from the supernatural, technology, or human nature itself. A Literary Titan Award winner, Stonecastle blends visceral storytelling with sharp social commentary, delivering novels that entertain while leaving readers unsettled long after the final page. When he isn’t writing, he can be found avoiding phone calls, overthinking menus, and reminding people that monsters don’t need fangs to be dangerous.

Caren Cross

Writer

Caren Cross writes emotionally charged romantic crime fiction where desire, vulnerability, and danger collide. Her stories explore the quiet moments where love turns complicated, choices carry consequences, and intimacy comes at a cost. With a sharp eye for human behavior and an unflinching honesty about power, longing, and survival, Cross creates characters who feel achingly real—women navigating moral gray zones and men whose charm often hides something darker beneath the surface. Her work blends sensuality with suspense, refusing easy answers and tidy endings. A South Floridian by choice, Caren Cross writes with a noir-tinged realism influenced by sun-bleached streets, late-night diners, and the unspoken stories people carry with them. She is a featured author under the Stonecastle Publications imprint. The Price of Soup is another haunting entry in her growing catalog of provocative, emotionally resonant fiction.

Erik Von Schmidt

Writer

Erik Von Schmidt is a retired professor of history from Hamburg, Germany, whose academic career focused on European history, comparative civilization studies, and the intellectual history of political ideology. For more than thirty years, he taught courses examining how nationalism, religious certainty, and legal systems have been used—again and again—to justify authoritarian power and moral complicity. After retiring from academia, Von Schmidt turned to fiction as a way to reach beyond the classroom and engage a wider audience with the patterns he spent a lifetime studying. A chance meeting with author and publisher Jerrimiah Stonecastle at a book signing in West Palm Beach, Florida, led him to join the Stonecastle Publications family in 2024. My Little Führers is his debut novel, translating decades of scholarship into a stark work of political fiction. It will not be his last.
