F. Craig Ward writes gothic horror, historical fantasy, and supernatural adventure. He is the author of the Eldritch Manor series, beginning with The Haunting and Eldritch Manor and continuing with The Vampire and Eldritch Manor.
A Navy veteran, retired accountant, former business owner, husband, father, and grandfather, Craig is drawn to stories about faith, family, suffering, redemption, sacrifice, and the choices people make when evil leaves them no clean path. His books are dark, often macabre, and ultimately concerned with whether a person can remain human after pain has given them every reason not to be.
Craig previously published as Garrett Ward and co-authored several books before completing his first solo novel. He lives in Pensacola, Florida, with his wife, Kathi, whom he married in 1984. She insists he is not as funny as he thinks he is. Craig considers this an unresolved scholarly dispute.
