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.

Jerry Harwood was born in Ooltewah, TN. His mother was an elementary school teacher and he spent his afternoons reading books in her classroom or the nearby library. He currently is a writer, which makes sense based on the fact you are reading this here. He has experimented with other occupations: camp director, program director at a counseling center, college professor and middle school teacher. Jerry has backpacked Europe, taught in a Ukrainian University, worked in Rwanda after the genocide, is a first responder, sort-of remodeled a VW Thing, and has a love for Cherry Coke Zero that is only surpassed by his love for his wife, six children, and grandson. He is a member of the SCBWI, the Atlanta Writer's Club and the Chattanooga Writer's Guild where he also serves as a board member.

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.
