Denton's day job used to require a lot of travel and hence a lot of time on airplanes and in airports. Because of this, it allowed lots of writing time. When the pandemic hit, the habit got worse. Therapy hasn't helped.

The stories tend to be extensions of a terrible tendency to tell lies and make things up. Truth can be so limiting and the fairy tales and legends he heard growing up sounded like a much more fun world. So many of his stories draw on Eastern European folklore. After all, who won't want a world with three-headed dragons, wolf-wizard, and enchanting immortal maidens?

His books also tend to include pandas. Because pandas rock.

Mostly he works as a physical scientist, which is why he likes fantasy. He also likes dogs, particularly standards, and coffee. His hobbies include metalwork, woodwork, martial arts, and cooking. He can be found at dentonsalle.com, Facebook, MeWe, and X.

Writing fiction is career number three or so for Becky R. Jones. She's worked as a secretary in the world of Wall Street, built sets for TV pilots and shows, been an admin assistant for a mobile home park management company, built airplanes, and finally went back to school to get an MA and PhD in political science. Through it all she read fantasy, science fiction, and anything else she could get her hands on - cereal boxes included. Reading provides an escape, laughter, tears, and different perspectives on life.

After 20+ years teaching in different parts of the country, Becky realized that faculty politics had lost their allure and fled academia. She decided to try her hand at telling stories like the ones she loved to read. "Academic Magic" was her first work of fiction, quickly followed by a number of short stories, and the next two books in the "Academic Magic" series. She currently lives in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area with her husband and two cats.

Fiona Grey wanders through stories at https://fionagreywrites.com with an amazing husband and Writing Cat. After years of technical writing and editing, her creative brain escaped into the wild, likely as a consequence of severe overeducation. She enjoys thinking nonlinearly and introversion. Other people claim this is “weird,” which is unsubstantiated.
