R.B.W. Culpepper was born in Atlanta, Georgia. He is a new author with a flair for spooky tales and middle grade fantasy stories. Growing up in a haunted house as a young child made a big impact on his life and his writing style. Although, seeing and hearing ghosts terrified him as a child, he over time grew use to the ghostly encounters and incorporated them into some of his stories. Mr. Culpepper has been greatly influenced by Alfred Hitchcock, Rod Serling, R. L. Stine, Wes Craven, J. K. Rowling, and Stephen King.
