Declan Finn is the NYC based author of books ranging from thrillers to urban fantasy to SciFi, including the Dragon Award Nominated Novel for Best horror in 2016, Honor at Stake, and the 2017 follow-up, Live and Let Bite. He was also nominated for "Best Apocalypse" novel at the Dragons in 2017. He also won the book of the year award with his novel Hell Spawn from CLFA.

Finn is known for being annoyingly Catholic, his action sequences, and writing faster than most readers can keep up with. In less than a decade, he has written 30 novels, and is waiting for all of them to be published. He's been part of multiple anthologies, and will write for anyone.

A star-lord and USA Today bestselling author of character-driven, multi-level science fiction and fantasy, Michael J. Allen is a former US Navy submarine nuclear reactor operator, scuba diver and avid toy starship collector. He enjoys helping people chase their own dreams through financial coaching, infusing his quirky sense of humor – and the occasional sneaky pop-culture reference – into both real life and fiction.

At over two dozen published stories, he’s recently contributed his longtime beloved Starflight universe. His released books span the whole gambit of the SF/F genres from space opera and military science fiction to urban, western and contemporary epic fantasy. He credits childhood heroes like Robin Williams, Danny Kaye, Terry Pratchett, Gene Wilder, and Weird Al Yankovic for this seemingly random madness.

Drew Avera is a Navy veteran, musician, and the bestselling author of the Dead Planet series and the Alorian Wars.

He was born and raised in rural Mississippi and grew up with a deep affection for comic books and science fiction movies and television shows. At one point he boasted a comic book collection with more than 1,000 issues. His love for comics inspired him to pursue a career as a comic book artist, but an injury to his hand ended that dream permanently.

Still, he was inspired to create in one medium or the other. He picked up a guitar at fifteen years old and began writing songs almost immediately. That “obsession” as his parents called it put him on the path to rock stardom…in his bedroom.

It was when he turned sixteen and bought the novel “What Savage Beast” by Peter David (The Incredible Hulk) that he caught the bug to be a writer. Unfortunately, it would not come to fruition until fourteen years later.

Drew enlisted in the US Navy as an Aviation Electricians Mate at seventeen years old. He served twenty years and deployed on four combat deployments to the Persian Gulf. During those deployments he would spend his free time reading books. He loved reading books in a series and that inspired his journey to becoming a fiction author.

In November 2012, at the age of thirty, Drew began his journey as an author by participating in national Novel Writing Month (NANoWriMo). He published his first book in March of 2013 and the rest, as they say, is history. With more than twenty books published in the space opera, military science fiction, cyberpunk, and dystopian genres, he has built a backlog with something for everyone who enjoys science fiction adventures.

After retiring from the Navy, he began an exciting new career in the simulation field. Drew is now focusing his efforts on building upon what he learned in his first eight years of publishing. He has plans for an all-new space opera and military science fiction series as well as new collaborations with other writers.

The best is yet to come!

I. Ronik is the pen name for a snarky and jaded women’s fiction and mystery writer who takes comfort in the absurd. No genre is safe! Hailing from eastern Kentucky, she’s been writing and publishing under various names for more than ten years. Using the I. Ronik misnomer, she produces short works that are full of ludicrous situations, vexing characters, and eye-roll-inducing moments that are so absurd, you’d almost think they were based on real life. When she isn’t writing, she’s stalking her coffee pot and tangling yarn with her cats. You can find her at ironikauthor.com.

C.J. Carella grew up in South America and bounced around assorted parts of the US. After writing over twenty roleplaying books for such companies as Palladium Books, Steve Jackson Games and Eden Studios, he turned his hand to fiction in assorted genres, from superhero/alternate history to horror and science fiction.

When not writing, C.J. enjoys gaming (computer and tabletop), reading and fighting crime (mostly by yelling at kids to get off the lawn). He does not enjoy long walks by the beach, unless said beach has a partially buried Statue of Liberty.

Joshua M. Young lives in Columbus, Ohio with his wife, son, and two more feral cats than the optimal number of feral cats. (That is, zero.) He holds a Master of Divinity from Ashland Theological Seminary, and yes, he’s quite aware that writing this kind of stuff isn’t exactly what you’d expect from a trained theologian. A life long lover of science fiction and fantasy, one of his earliest memories involves some confusion with a Klingon Bird of Prey and an X-Wing in the middle of a theater showing The Search for Spock, and, once upon a time, he could select the desired Robotech novel from his bookshelf, in the dark, by the feel of its spine. (Don’t ask why that was a necessary skill. He couldn’t tell you.) He has been published in numerous anthologies, including Planetary: Mercury, Planetary: Venus, and Tales of the Once and Future King. He can be found blogging at SuperversiveSF.com.

I'm Tim Niederriter.

As you've no doubt gathered, I write books of science fiction, fantasy, and combinations of the two for fun and novelty.

I'm the son of two physicists from Pennsylvania, transplanted to Minnesota. My parents read me the Hobbit (repeatedly) at a young age. The math adds up. I love both far-flung science fiction and epic fantasy of all kinds.

Diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder at a young age, I've always surrounded myself with fictional worlds. I studied writing and literature at Gustavus Adolphus College and have a strong interest in history and politics as well.

I co-host the roleplaying game podcast "Of Mooks and Monsters" and talk with other authors each week on my other podcast, "Alive After Reading."

J.R. Handley is a pseudonym for a writing team.  He is a veteran infantry sergeant with the 101st Airborne Division and the 28th Infantry Division and he is the kind of crazy that interprets his insanity into cogent English.  He writes the sci-fi while his partner proofreads it. The sergeant is a two-time combat veteran of the late unpleasantness in Mesopotamia where he was wounded, likely doing something stupid.  He started writing military science fiction as part of a therapy program suggested by his doctor, and hopes to entertain you while he attempts to excise his demons through these creative endeavors.  In addition to being just another dysfunctional veteran, he is a stay at home wife, avid reader and all around nerd.

Hey there, I'm Ericka. My family and I live in a small town in South Central Kansas. I work as an emergency 911 dispatcher. I absolutely love my job. In between working and mom-ing, I somehow find time to write words... Coffee & tacos are seriously life!

My kiddos help me name characters and pick out covers while my husband randomly shouts ideas for me to write about (most do not make sense) haha.

I try to make every book unique with diverse plots and characters; pulling from my own less than savory past but also brilliant future. I'm a stickler about names; trying not only to find a name that fits the main character but also the book. Once I have the right name, I have the story.

Anyhoot, I hope you enjoy the adventures you may find.

R Max Tillsley grew up loving stories filled with adventure and monsters. Sadly, the mess on his bedroom floor never attracted a single tentacled beast—though a shark’s jaw once bit him. One day, he found himself sitting a Parisian cafe. Surrounded by a city full of famous art and beautiful buildings, he decided to write… about the undead. His fondest childhood memories are of watching Doctor Who on Saturday afternoons and David Attenborough documentaries on Saturday evenings. He lives in Australia with his wife, daughters, and two grumpy cats.

His latest release is the nail-biting, zombie apocalypse branching paths adventure, Brainz. Save the world, be munched by a zombie hippo, become one of the red-eyed undead, or choose a different fate altogether. Children and adults alike love this fresh take.

Marisa Wolf was born in New England, and raised on Boston sports teams, Star Wars, Star Trek, and the longest books in the library (usually fantasy). Over the years she majored in English in part to get credits for reading (this...only partly worked), taught middle school, was headbutted by an alligator, built a career in education, earned a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and finally decided to finish all those half-started stories in her head.

She’s currently based in Texas, but has moved into an RV with her husband and their two ridiculous rescue dogs, and it's anyone's guess where in the country she is at any given moment. Learn more at www.marisawolf.net

Moved to the left coast to work in law enforcement, and retired in early 2021. Now I live in the Maritimes, and write full time. I'm married to the lovely Michelle, and we have cats.

Currently residing in Georgia with three cats - who tolerate her - she writes her own version of Urban Science Fiction. If you're looking for science, aliens, invasions, explosions, and maybe a touch of magic in some series, you've found the right author.

She fully admits to being weird, after all she writes about aliens and knows how to milk goats. If you want to talk books, she'll talk all day long, but admits she hasn't had time to watch much TV in the last three years, the price of a writing addiction.

Hey - did you find an error? I am human, trust me, my flaws are many and perfect prose is not among my graces. If you go to my facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/badashbooks/ There is a pinned post. Put it there and I'll fix it ASAP. - Thanks, Mel

Lawrence N. Oliver struggled in school. He has dyslexia and he hated reading, especially aloud. So, his father bought him a copy of The Foundation and The Hobbit. He can’t remember which was first but he fell in love with the genres. He'd always had a vivid imagination and a daydreamer’s attention span, they'd have called it ADD were he in school today. Even now he catches himself staring out of the window thinking about his characters, their misadventures and the other worlds they inhabit.

As he grew up it was life, responsibilities and procrastination that had kept him from ever putting any of his daydreams down on paper.

One day he found himself home alone with a few days off work. He was reading a book, sitting by the window in his overstuffed cliché suburban recliner. It was just good ole' space opera, high adventure, the good guy is always good and always right in the end kind of stuff. Nothing wrong with that but he kept finding himself drifting from the book, looking out the window thinking of a different story. One that was a little more in keeping with the accounts of conflict he’d grown up listening to. What he knew and had read about points of view and good people making bad decisions in impossible situations where no matter what you did it could end up wrong and people could die. But if you didn't do something you and your fellow soldiers would be the casualties. Things aren't black and white, even the good guys screw shit up and sometimes the good guys aren't really the good guys at all, again depending on your point of view.

So he put down the book he was reading and he started writing.

I am a retired Air Force veteran who’s flown rescue and special ops C-130’s for 18 years. I’ve been to all the places and done all the things. Now I’m hoping to translate those experiences to science fiction and fantasy. So far I’ve weaseled my way into Mark Wandrey and Chris Kennedy’s Four Horsemen Universe as well as Bayonet Books Storming Area 51 anthology, but I’ve been working on other things as well. I’m primarily in military science fiction, but have hopes to write some alternate history and possibly some military fantasy. We’ll see, the ride’s just getting started.

Robert W. Ross is the author of the best selling Sentinels of Creation print and audiobook series. The seventh book in that contemporary fantasy series, A Final Sacrifice, is set for release this Summer. In addition to Sentinels, Robert has released the first two books in his sci-fi series, Paradigm 2045. The last book of the Paradigm trilogy should come out in the Fall.

Robert has both a passion for pop culture and a loathing to discuss himself in the third person. However, his wife convinced him that anyone who took the time to read his books or listen to his audiobooks might want to know a little about the person who made them.

To that end, Robert’s influences include authors such as Robert A. Heinlein, Philip Jose Farmer, and Brandon Sanderson. He has a deep and abiding love for all things Star Trek, Doctor Who, and Sponge Bob. While Robert can often make obscure TV, Book, and Movie references, he sadly lacks any of his characters’ genetic enhancements. To the contrary, he is quite sure the brain space taken up by all that trivia is directly responsible for him lacking any sense of direction.

In addition to his work as an author, Robert has led the Artificial Intelligence and Experience Design efforts for a number of Fortune 100 companies. He is also a keynote speaker and guest-lecturer at both Georgia Tech and Kennesaw State University.

In both interviews and reviews, Robert's unique blend of pop-culture, alternate history, near future science fiction, magical systems, and strong female characters have been highlighted as key factors in his series’ success. Given the intense interest in his female protagonists, he has agreed to write two novellas that highlight their origins. The first novella, Isabella's Campaign, was published as part of the Storming Area 51 anthology that Robert supported along with a number of wonderful authors he's met along the way.

While Robert's first series, Sentinels of Creation, was written as contemporary fantasy, his second series, Paradigm 2045, leverages the hard science side of his experiences. In addition to Paradigm, he recently released a stand-alone paranormal romance story, One Heart that Beats for Two. Robert’s weaving of humor and character banter has become hallmarks of his writing style and is on full display throughout all these stories.

Outside of Robert's business and writing commitments, he enjoys helping facilitate the collaboration between authors, cover artists, and audiobook voice actors. He is a big believer that such collaboration can make its own magic, causing an already great story to become even greater. For Robert, this magic is the product of his personal collaboration and friendship with narrator, Nick Podehl and Greek artist, George Patsouras.

Robert lives in Atlanta with his wife, kids, and about eleven different Apple products. He is a fierce advocate for children with special needs, their parents, and the local organizations that support both.

Nathan Pedde was born in central British Columbia, Canada. He went to Capilano University after high school and entered the film industry where he worked for two years as a lamp operator. He has worked in many different industries and jobs from working at a gas station to engraving picture frames, to working as a Flood Technician drying flooded homes. He is currently living on Vancouver Island with his wife and two kids.

He began writing in the seventh grade, he wrote an illustrated fairy-tale. He dabbled in it during High School and started writing in college. Life got in the way and little progress was made, however, the writing still happened. Fifteen years after high school, serious writing has begun.

Nathan writes in both Science-Fiction and Fantasy and has many novels written, and many novels planned. Expect more books in both of those genres in the near future.

You can find him at his website at nathanpedde.com where he keeps a weekly blog. He also has a newsletter that he posts when he releases new books.
