A native Texan by birth (if not geography), Chris moved 'home' as soon as he could.

Attending Texas A+M for two of the four years he lived in College Station, he learned quickly that there was more to college than drinking beer and going to football games.

Deciding that a change of venue may be more beneficial, he moved to San Antonio, attending SAC and UTSA, graduating in late 2000 with a BA in Lit.

While there, he also met a wonderful lady that somehow found him to be funny, charming, and worth marrying. (She has since changed her mind on the funny and charming, but figures he's still a keeper.)

After the birth of his first child, and while waiting on the second, Chris decided that he should start his own business, and has been running it since 2001.

In a fit of creative inspiration, Chris began writing flash fiction in 2012, moved on to short stories, and should be finishing his first solo novel any day now. His first story, 'Bad Blood and Old Silver,' appears in the 'Luna's Children:Stranger Worlds' anthology, from Dark Oak Press. Other stories to be released: 'What manner of Fool,' featured in Michael Hanson's 'Sha'daa: Inked' anthology; 'Isaac Crane and the Ancient Hunger' in Fantom Enterprise's 'Dark Corners' anthology; and '150 Miles to Huntsville' in Baen's Black Tide Rising anthology. He has also co-authored (with Jason Cordova) 'Kraken Mare' from Severed Press.

His two cats allow him, his wife, their three kids, and two dogs to reside outside of San Antonio.

I'm a biology major, an IT geek with a MS in Information Security & Assurance, SF/F fan, personal finance nerd, nutrition / health geek, and mother to an adorable little girl and her baby brother, who is a devoted disciple of Chaos. My husband is a science fiction author, mostly published with Baen Books, and several of my acquaintances are long time SF/F fans, authors, and/or artists.

My first short stories and poems published for general view were posted to VideoTel, when I was 8. A quarter century later, the voices in my head still insist I write, although I don't produce much poetry these days. My original fiction is typically fantasy with a side order of science fiction. However, I also enjoy dabbling in what-ifs for classic novels, such as Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice.

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

Justin grew up an Army brat, living in Germany, Alabama, Texas, Korea, Colorado and Alaska, and fed on a steady diet of X-Men, Star Trek, Robert Heinlein, DragonLance, and Babylon 5.

In 2005 he graduated from West Point and served as a field artillery officer, completing combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, and earning the Bronze Star, Purple Heart and the Combat Action Badge.

Medically retired from the Army in 2015, Justin settled in Houston with Michele, their four children and an excessively friendly Old English Sheepdog.
