My name is Sean Holland and I have been a gamer for a very long time. Starting with war games and soon moving to roleplaying games, where I have stayed ever since. Gaming is my primary hobby, but not my only one, I am also an avid reader (fantasy, science fiction, history), watcher of politics and general geek.

I hold a degree in History (BA, minor Philosophy) along with an unfinished MA in the same field. These days I work at Tyche's Games, a small games store in Athens, GA, and do some freelance writing for the gaming industry along with my work on the Sea of Stars and the occasional piece of fiction.

Nicole Kornher-Stace lives in New Paltz, NY, with her family. Her books include ARCHIVIST WASP (Small Beer Press/Big Mouth House, 2015) and LATCHKEY (Mythic Delirium, 2018), which are about a far-future postapocalyptic ghosthunter, the ghost of a near-future supersoldier, and their adventures in the underworld. She has two more books due out in 2021: FIREBREAK, forthcoming from Saga, and JILLIAN VS. PARASITE PLANET, forthcoming from Tachyon.

You can find her on Twitter @wirewalking, where she is probably semicoherently yelling about board games, video games, hiking, aromantic representation, good books she's read recently, or her cat.

PATTY TEMPLETON is roughly 25 apples tall and 11,000 cups of coffee into her life. She wears red sequins and stomping boots while writing, then hits up back-alley dance bars and honky tonks. Her stories are full of ghosts, freaks, fools, underdogs, blue collar heroes, and never giving up, even when life is giving you guff.
