Leith C MacArthur was born in Boston and grew up in the suburbs of Wayland, and Waltham, Massachusetts. As a young boy he became fascinated with the craft of writing after reading Edgar Allan Poe’s, “The Raven”. Inspired, he sought out other depicters of darkness, despair, and redemption, allowing himself to be drawn into the fictitious worlds of mystery and adventure penned by the likes of Poe, Robert Louis Stevenson, Mickey Spillane, Dashiell Hammett, and Ross Macdonald.
At the age of ten, Leith began writing short stories and poems that naturally tended toward the macabre. Two years later he wrote his first novelette, Gerry the Germ, the tale of a lowly life-form who finds his purpose within the grand scheme through tragedy and loss.
Leith went on to write several novels (slated for future publication) before focusing on a number of related stories that eventually became The William Snow Series, consisting of Beneath The Bridge, The Stones of Mirabella, The Finding Man, The Death of Harry Crow, and The Man in the Moon.
Leith lives in the western woods of Rhode Island.

Writing doesn’t come easy for me—reading hasn’t always—but I’m a passionate person who throws my entire self into whatever I do if I believe strongly enough in it. So when the characters from Touch restlessly invaded my head one day with the sole purpose of having their story told, I decided right away that failure was not an option. I first put pen to paper in November of 2005 with no writing experience whatsoever. After what felt like a lifetime of learning the craft, countless ups and downs—to include over seven hundred rejections from literary agents—true blood, sweat, tons of tears, and constantly telling myself that hard work, patience, and persistence usually result in success, I finally published Touch independently in April of 2021.
After such a long and tumultuous journey with these characters, I can wholeheartedly say that I don’t know who I would be without them.
My goal now, while I wait to see if they have more to say, is to create an online space for reader-inspired art: drawings, paintings, photography, journal entries, poems, etcetera (from real-life experiences, Megan-inspired, or imagined), submitted with credit or anonymously, to help show those who may have similar circumstances that they are not alone.

Ace Aceto has been a comedian, actor, show producer, and podcaster. But he counts being a father of three as his greatest accomplishment. When his youngest daughter Maddie lost one of her front teeth, she seemed more inquisitive about the tooth fairy than after losing previous teeth. When she couldn’t get the answers from anyone else, she decided to find out for herself. So, she disappeared to her bedroom and an hour later came back with 18 note cards with questions for the tooth fairy to answer, and the concept of his first book was born.
