Christopher Nuttall has been planning sci-fi books since he learned to read. Born and raised in Edinburgh, Chris created an alternate history website and eventually graduated to writing full-sized novels. Studying history independently allowed him to develop worlds that hung together and provided a base for storytelling. After graduating from university, Chris started writing full-time. As an indie author, he has published fifty novels and one novella (so far) through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing.

Professionally, he has published The Royal Sorceress, Bookworm, A Life Less Ordinary, Sufficiently Advanced Technology, The Royal Sorceress II: The Great Game and Bookworm II: The Very Ugly Duckling with Elsewhen Press, and Schooled in Magic through Twilight Times Books.

As a matter of principle, all of Chris's self-published Kindle books are DRM-free.

Chris has a blog where he published updates, snippets and world-building notes at http://chrishanger.wordpress.com/ and a website at http://www.chrishanger.net.

Chris is currently living in Edinburgh with his partner, muse, and critic Aisha.

Longtime reader, recently published writer. MA in Political Science and Doctoral work specializing in Courts and Public Policy. He grew up near the old family farmstead and published his first story in the dark days of 2020. He has published stories in fantasy and xianxia settings but has written work in horror, noir fiction, and science fiction as well, which he is very thankful were written under pseudonyms.

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.

Barb Caffrey is a writer, editor, musician and composer from Wisconsin. She holds two degrees, is an inveterate and omnivorous reader, and is the writer of the comic urban fantasy/romance AN ELFY ON THE LOOSE, its sequel A LITTLE ELFY IN BIG TROUBLE, and a wholly unrelated LGBTQ-friendly fantasy romance with spiritual overtones, CHANGING FACES. (The latter has also been called "Freaky Friday" on acid. She'll take that as compliment.)

Her stories and poems have appeared (or will appear) in many places, including several Darkover anthologies (the most recent being CITADELS OF DARKOVER), HOW BEER SAVED THE WORLD, FANTASTIC SCHOOLS HOLS, and many more.

She's the widow of Michael B. Caffrey (1958-2004), and has vowed that Michael's work -- his words -- will live on as long as there are people to read them. It's because of this vow that she's republished Michael's Adventures of Joey Maverick series, which currently consists of "A Dark and Stormy Night" and "On Westmount Station." (More stories will be forthcoming -- promise.)

She follows politics, loves sports, watches far too much reality TV and finds the judicial reality TV show "Hot Bench" cathartic. What all this says about her is anyone's guess. Find her at Elfyverse (AKA "Barb Caffrey's Blog") for discussions of all and sundry, or visit her at Facebook . . . she promises she won't bite. (Much.)

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.

After starting life by causing an international incident in South America, studying a dead language in college, converting to Catholicism, and spawning a number of children, Morgon Newquist now writes books.

Most of the time. When she’s not chasing chickens, homeschooling aforementioned spawn, or playing video games that she never seems to finish.

Morgon has been writing all her life. Books and stories are her first love, and she’s really lucky to be able to spend her time writing. And she’s even luckier that people like you, dear reader, pick them up and enjoy them.

Morgon is the author of the School of Spells and War short story series, the Serenity City Superhero series, and the Neighborhood Watch fantasy series.
