He has numerous academic and technical publications which, to be honest, are not really quite as engaging.

Nathanial W. Cook began life as a bouncy, blond ball in Phoenix, AZ, but he grew up (though some might question his grown-up-ed-ness) in and around Boston, MA. In his efforts to "find himself" and "find his way," he's moved to Los Angeles, Atlanta, Salem (MA), Seattle, Longmont (CO), and back to Salem again, where "himself" and "his way" seem to want to be found. Now, he shares his life with beloved fellow writer, EC Hanlon, and twin beloved stepkids. He's led a second life, however, always going on inside, and there is where you'll find the worlds he tries to get out through his writing and other creative pursuits. It can be difficult living several lives at once, but he wouldn't trade it for a more mundane life. He's fallen into many things, but, so far, has mainly shuffled into Fate.

Working on a new sci-fi novel now called "Cosmic Ray," and expect to have a sequel to "Falling Into Fate," to be called "Dropping Into Destiny," eventually.

M.D. (Michael Dirk) Thalmann, a novelist and freelance journalist with an affinity for satire and science fiction, lives in Phoenix, Arizona with his wife, children, and ornery cats, reads too much and sleeps too little. He has a couple dogs, too, but doesn’t like to mention them due to the slippers one of them ate in 2009, which neither has yet fessed up to. He is originally from Little Rock, Arkansas and has been living in the desert since 2004 when he took the novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas entirely too serious and moved on a lark. He has been into journalism in one fashion or another and writing fiction and so on since he was ten years old or so and has gotten at least 20% better since that time. Today M.D. writes freelance and does columns for a few magazines here and there while working on his various novels and cursing his cats.

M.D. Thalmann is influenced by Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Philip K. Dick, Carl Hiaasen, and (obviously) Hunter S. Thompson. His follow up novel to The 13 Lives of a Television Repair Man, Static, is available through Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Find his work at www.mdthalmann.com

Thomas A Farmer grew up in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. His childhood instilled an early love of mountains and exploding space ships, which are only vaguely related to one another. Growing up with parents who were science-fiction geeks, he was immersed in things like the Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, and Babylon 5 early on. All of that explains why he thought writing fiction was a good idea-but here we are nonetheless!

When he's not writing, he makes a living teaching fencing.

'Zebedee writes rollicking adventure stories in the traditional sci-fi mode, but with a flair that few others can match. The dramatic stakes in her work are usually derived from the characters’ personal relationships: her Inheritance trilogy follows the freedom-fighter Kare as he leads an uprising against a galactic empire ruled over by his own mother, while the hero of her alien invasion/prison break novel Inish Carraig is a young man forced into a life of crime to protect his younger sisters and brother. Zebedee’s work is ideal for scratching that high-octane space-opera itch.'

A retired police officer, Josh Hayes is the author of the Valor Trilogy, the Tranquility series w/ Devon C Ford, Stryker’s War (Galaxy’s Edge), and The Terra Nova Chronicles w/ Richard Fox, along with numerous short stories.

His debut solo novel, Edge of Valor, was a finalist for the 2020 Dragon Award for Best Military Science Fiction or Fantasy Novel.

During his time with the Wichita Police Department, Josh served as a patrol officer, bicycle unit, community policing officer, and was an assistant bomb technician on the Bomb Squad.

His experiences in both his military life and police life have given him unique glimpses into the lives of people around him and it shows through in the characters he creates.
