Growing up in Europe during the height of the cold war and then serving in a Marine SOC (Special Operations Capable) Battalion during the collapse of Communism provided a lot of life experience and a unique perspective on life and the world. The first novel he read was Jules Vern's 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea' when he was ten and has been reading ever since.

Before the Marines he was a pocket protector wearing nerd, after the Marines he held jobs as a Security officer/Patrol Sergeant, Lieutenant and other odd specialized jobs like body guard or surveillance, and ended up brushing off the pocket protector to become a Computer Consultant.

These days he dreams of quitting his day job as a computer consultant to work full time as a writer and dad.

The author of the Kin Wars Universe and over 40 novels and short stories published, he is a US Navy veteran, a former teacher, and avid videogamer. He currently resides in North Carolina.

I am a retired Marine infantry colonel and now a full-time writer living in Colorado Springs with my wife Kiwi and twin five-year-old girls, Danika Dawn and Darika Marie. I am a two-time Nebula Award Finalist, a two-time Dragon Award Finalist, and a USA Today Bestselling writer.

I published my first work back in 1978, a so-so short story titled "Secession." Since then, I have been published in newspapers, magazines, and in book format in fiction, political science, business, military, sports, race relations, and personal relations fields. I returned to writing fiction in 2009, and I currently have over 100 titles published, 80 being novels. My novelette, "Weaponized Math," was a finalist for the 2017 Nebula Award, "Fire Ant" was a finalist for the 2018 Nebula Award for Best Novella, "Integration" was a finalist for the 2018 Dragon Award for Best Military Science Fiction or Fantasy Novel, and "Sentenced to War" was a finalist for the 2021 Dragon Award in the same category.

My undergraduate degree was earned at the U. S. Naval Academy (Class of 1979), and I have attended graduate school at U. S. International University and the University of California, San Diego, earning a masters and doctorate. I am a lifetime member of the Disabled American Veterans, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the US. Naval Academy Alumni Association, and the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America where I'm serving as the Nebula Award Commissioner.

I have rather eclectic tastes. I have won awards in photography, cooking, writing, and several sports, earning national championships in rugby and equestrian events. When I'm not writing, I'm reading, cooking, going to the gym, taking my girls fishing, or traveling. I attend quite a few cons over the course of a year, and love meeting other people who love books.

I write because I love it. I only hope that others might read my work and get a bit of enjoyment or useful information out of my efforts.

Casey Moores was an Air Force Academy graduate and rescue/special ops C-130 pilot for over 17 years- airdropping, air refueling, and flying into tiny blacked-out dirt airstrips in bad places using night vision goggles. He’s been to those places and done those things with those people. Now he lives a quieter life, translating those experiences to military science fiction, fantasy, alternate history, and post-apocalyptic fiction. With seven novels and over twenty published short stories, his biggest challenge is focusing on any one genre. Or focusing on anything at all, really.

Casey is the winner of the Imaginarium Imadjinn Awards Best Historical Fiction for Witch Hunt, a story about monster hunting marines in the Civil War from Three Ravens Publishing’s JTF-13 series. The prequel story, “Blood Sacrifice”, was published in the Helicon award-winning JTF-13 Legends anthology.

For Chris Kennedy Publishing, he has written in the Four Horsemen universe with numerous nov-els and short stories, primarily about Bull and his black ops rescue company. He also has a novel, The Guilted Cage, set in the Fallen World universe at his alma mater, the Air Force Academy, as well as short stories in the Fallen World and Salvage System universes.

Finally, he has numerous stories out in his Deathmage War fantasy series, two of which—“A Quaint Pastime” and “The Unwanted Legion”—were finalists in the annual FantaSci fantasy story contest.

He is currently developing the Blood & Armor series, a near future military science fiction series with Bill Fawcett.

Some of Dan’s earliest memories include watching Godzilla movies and Star Trek re-runs on television. This love of monster movies and TV SciFi eventually led to his reading just about every bit of science fiction and fantasy he could get his hands on. An Army Brat and a Marine Veteran, Dan has lived on both coasts, the Midwest, Korea and Kuwait. He now lives with his wife and daughters in Colorado, where he supports training for the US Military.

Melissa Olthoff grew up on Star Trek, Star Wars and pretty much every Arnold Schwarzenegger movie ever made. She was lucky enough to have an amazing dad that supported her out-of-control reading addiction - and her goal of joining the military. In 2005, she commissioned as an US Air Force officer and briefly achieved her dream of becoming a pilot. While she loved flying, her ears did not, so she cross-trained into Airfield Operations where she spent the rest of her military career. Her last assignment was Seymour Johnson AFB, a F-15E Strike Eagle base. She swore she wouldn’t date a fighter pilot, but accidentally left a loophole and ended up marrying one. She now works as an accountant (seriously) to pay the bills and her husband flies cargo. They like to joke that they used to be cool, and do cool things. Then they had children. They currently live in Tennessee with two kids and two oversized German Shepherds.

I’ve been in Colorado since I was a young teenager. I grew up in a military family and traveled all over before ending up in Colorado. I currently live in the foothills of Pikes Peak with my wife, two children and various dogs and cats. I have a crazy technology background having founded several tech companies centering around human machine interfaces before I discovered a passion for writing.

When I’m not slinging the ink and trying to get paid to fabricate tales that entertain, I like to shoot competitively, drink craft beer, ride motorcycles and play games with friends.

David has spent his whole life reading great books, and consuming arts/entertainment in as many ways as possible. Now he's trying to live up to the content he consumes by being a writer. He lives by two Mantras: 1. If Burd is Heppy, Leave It. 2. Rather be lucky than good any day. The second primarily applies to his golf game. He likes short walks from the bar to his house, and enjoys dimly lit rooms with plenty of scotch.

J.A. Miller once won a smiling contest in 1st grade...and it's all been downhill since then. Now he spends his days editing other people's fiction when he should be writing his own stuff. He has a couple of short stories and usually writes about military and veterans, because he's never recovered from the Army.

I'm a machine learning engineer living and working in the Richmond, VA area. I write science fiction, fantasy, steampunk, and horror.

Lucas Marcum is a critical care nurse practitioner and an officer in the US Army Reserve. When he's not working, or performing his reserve duties, he can be found hiking, reading, attempting to perfect his soft pretzel recipe and spending time with his family.
