Wife and a mother of five, J.F. Posthumus is an IT Tech with over a decade of experience. When she isn’t arguing with computers and their inherent gremlins, or being mom to the four younger monsters (the eldest has flown the nest and is doing quite well on his own), she’s crafting, writing, or doing some other sort of art. An avid gamer, she loves playing Dungeons & Dragons, and a variety of other board games with her family and friends. She’s also a hopeless romantic, thanks to all the fairy tales she cut her eyeteeth on—they were what J.F. Posthumus learned to read before she discovered the Boxcar Children Mysteries. From there, she fell into the rabbit hole that’s reading, where she discovered a love for mysteries, fantasy, and the occasional romance. Since writing was her favorite subject, she naturally incorporated her love of murder, mysteries, and fantasy into her works.

If the world was fair, all biographies would read like the introduction to a Star Wars movie and coffee would flow endlessly. Thus would begin the biopic of Charity Ayres.

Charity writes stories that allow the sarcastic voices in her head to have free reign. Her published works include MadCap, Loki Bound, Ice Burns, Secret in the Wings, and a plethora of upcoming releases. Though she considers herself a fantasy author, her books are a mix of various genres, interlaced with humor, sarcasm, and whatever words are produced by over-consumption of coffee or wine. Charity has also written and published short pieces in Science Fiction, mystery, romance, and non-fiction because she believes that life is too short to stick with one story type.

Charity grew up in South Dakota but left to join the Navy when she graduated high school and has resided in Virginia since the end of her enlistment. She lives with her daughter, two dogs, and a cat which she tries to reassure her daughter is enough pets for one family to have. She teaches high school English, creative writing, and journalism. She has a Bachelor's of English and a Masters in Creative Writing but is committed to life-long learning like the drug that it is. In her free time, whatever that is, Charity can be found on panels at various conventions, teaching writing workshops, or online researching history or interesting ways to kill people for her next novel.

Her current published works are available on Amazon. Charity can be found on Instagram, Twitter, or reached through her Facebook author's page at: https://www.facebook.com/LokiBound?ref_type=bookmark

Amie was born and raised in the Salt Lake Valley. She started making up stories before she could read and would act them out with her dolls and stuffed animals. She started actually writing them down in college, just decided to do it one day and couldn't stop.

She took an unplanned hiatus from writing when she went to Vanderbilt Law School and all of her brain power got consumed by cases, statutes, exams, and partying like only grad students in Nashville can. She graduated and picked her writing back up as soon as her brain limped back in after the bar exam.

She loves urban fantasy and is obsessed with the theory of alternate realities. Whether or not she travels to them in the flesh or just in her mind is up for debate.

She spends her days living the law life and her nights writing when she's not hitting downtown Nashville to check out live music or inflict her singing on the crowds at karaoke bars.

Rob Howell is the publisher of New Mythology Press (chriskennedypublishing.com/new-mythology-press/), including his work as editor of the Libri Valoris and Libri Mysteriorum anthologies of heroic fantasy.

He is one of the founders of the Eldros Legacy (eldroslegacy.com/) and an author in the Four Horsemen Universe (mercenaryguild.org). He writes primarily epic fantasy, space opera, military science fiction, and alternate history.

He is a reformed medieval academic, a former IT professional, and a retired soda jerk.

His parents discovered quickly books were the only way to keep Rob quiet. He latched onto the Hardy Boys series first and then anything he could reach. Without books, it’s unlikely all three would have survived.

In a previous lifetime, William Joseph Roberts was once an F-15 mechanic and Staff Sergeant in the United States Air Force. He has traveled the world and experienced many things in his few years.

During his tenure in this lifetime, he has been called a Jack of all trades, a Renaissance man and insane squirrel wrangler by his peers. Since his enlistment he has perused careers as an industrial and architectural designer, design engineer, and now, eclectic writer.

William Joseph Roberts currently resides in the quaint southern town of Chickamauga, Georgia with his loving wife, three freaky smart nerd children, and small pack of fur babies.

Bill grew up in West Tennessee, riding his bike on narrow rural roads lined with wild blackberry bushes, in the days before urban sprawl. He spent those long rides dreaming of new worlds of adventure. Childhood for him was one interesting activity after another, from front yard football to naval miniatures, but from the very beginning reading was the central pillar of his life.

Any and all military history books fascinated him, beginning before age 8. By his teenage years he had discovered J.R.R. Tolkien and Robert E. Howard, Robert Heinlein and Fritz Leiber. Teachers ripped comic books out of his hands during Spanish and Accounting class. Oops!

After majoring in Creative Writing in college, he turned to writing history and non-fiction and was published a number of times, including in World War Two magazine.

In September of 2014 he wrote the first pages of what would become Standing The Final Watch, and its prequels and sequels in the Last Brigade Universe. Thus, at age 60, his career in fiction had just begun.

Still living in West Tennessee with his wife of 42 years and 8 dogs, four of which are Search and Rescue certified police dogs, life has turned out better than he could ever have dreamed. Yet Bill never forgets that it is you, his readers, who make this possible. There is a covenant between writer and reader that is always uppermost in his mind. Readers who spend their time and money to read an author's works, deserve the best that author has to offer, and he never forgets that.

Bill is proud to be a member of the International Authors of Science Fiction Authors, the Science Fiction Writers of America, the Society For Military History and the Alliance of Independent Authors.

He is working on the sequel to Blue Crucible, as well as a Four Horsemen novel, both of which will be finished by the end of 2020.

John Drake is originally from the Wirral but is now an adopted Dubliner. He specializes in the under-represented genre of satirical historical fiction and wrote his first 'serious' line of writing at the grand old age of forty. He can usually be found sandwiched somewhere in between a good pun and a thesaurus.

When writing one’s own bio, how can one tell what will be interesting to the reader? Likely it’s the same as writing a story that’s spun up out of your imagination - you put yourself out there and let people see who you are and hope for the best. So, to that end - Jenny is originally from South Florida, and was never bored as a kid. She was always asking and answering “What if…?” to stay entertained. Moving to Tennessee opened a whole new set of “What if…?” questions that she still asks and answers. Now she entertains herself and hopefully others by putting some of the stories her imagination has spun up out for people to read and enjoy. She most enjoys writing in the speculative fiction/fantasy genres and occasionally flits into others to test herself and see where the stories take her. In between writing, reading and a day job, she enjoys spending time with her husband and two puppies.

Sara Brooke is an international Amazon bestselling author who writes horror and suspense novels.

A lifelong avid reader of all things scary, Sara's childhood dream was to write books that force readers to sleep with their lights on.

Her first novel, Still Lake was released Spring 2012.

Sara's influences and favorite authors include Bentley Little and John Saul.

She is presently working on her next novel.

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.
