A.L. Mengel is an Award-Winning author of critically acclaimed Supernatural Fiction, Science Fiction, and Paranormal Fiction. He also has published two creative self-help books: one which covers creating, another which covers marketing. In 2013, A.L. Mengel's debut novel "Ashes" was published by Parchman's Press. To date, "The Mortician", a Supernatural/Paranormal suspense novel, is his most widely read novel, available worldwide in all formats. Over his nearly decade-long career as a published author, Mengel has released novels on paperback, e-readers and audiobooks. "Ashes" gave birth to "The Tales of Tartarus" series, which includes "The Blood Decanter", which was under Jury consideration for a Bram Stoker Award in 2015. In the same year, he also became an Active Member of the Horror Writer's Association (HWA). Additionally, he has received critical acclaim, including his most recent novel, "Mona Lisa, Becoming a Ghost", the sequel to "The Mortician", which won the Gold Medal at the International Book Awards for Readers' Favorite, in addition to being a contender for the 2023 Pulitzer Prize. A.L. Mengel is also the creator of #Writestorm, a writing methodology and time management system designed to help busy authors get their novels written. A book was released in 2015 under the same name, which was his #1 seller of that year. The #Writestorm methodology has been adopted by authors worldwide on several continents through several Facebook groups, one in particular, The #Awethors. Writers meet and hold timed "group writing sessions" and adhere to the rules outlined in Mengel's methodology presented in the #Writestorm book. In 2016, Mengel delved into Science Fiction with his novel "The Wandering Star", which holds position as his highest pre-ordered book to date. His epic magnum opus "War Angel" released worldwide in Fall of 2016, which some have called his best work. In 2017, he released his sophomore Science Fiction novel "The Europa Effect" and the critically acclaimed supernatural period piece, "The Mortician". In December of 2019, Mengel's epic Science Fiction duology released on the same day with both novels "The Arrival of Destiny" and "Battle of the Trinity". 2020 brought what some have called his masterpiece, "Ballet of The Crypt Dancer" in The Tales of Tartarus series, linking his worlds of the immortals with the worlds of the witches through voodoo and a theater massacre. The book was a contender for the Best Novel of 2020 by the International Book Awards. Besides writing fiction, A.L. Mengel also publishes a blog called "Do Dogs See in Black and White?". In addition, he is the creator of the #PaintTheWorld initiative in early 2016, called "Inspired Creativity Through Color". Another drive to assist creative minded individuals, #PaintTheWorld is most often featured on the A.L. Mengel Facebook page, where a photo of the author in costume that selects a single dominant color, is posted along with an inspiring quote or question. Since the A.L. Mengel page was created, Mengel has had several hashtags attached to his page, the dominant one being #TheWritingStudio. He calls those who like the page Wanderers and Crypt Dancers in The Writing Studio. His published books also feature a forward addressing his most beloved followers directly. The motto of The Writing Studio is "Sharing music, writing, inspiration, art and trending topics."
