M. J. Ritchie
M. J. Ritchie grew up on a street in Philadelphia that no longer exists, listening to tales of banshees and ghosts from her Irish mother. A lover of words, and all things weird, she’s been writing since the age of nine. As a volunteer tutor with various literacy programs, she’s helped adults and children learn the joy of reading. She has degrees in business from Drexel University and Johns Hopkins University with experience in everything from accounting to sales. Her business writing focuses on management and employee development. As a faculty associate at The Johns Hopkins University Carey School of Business, she has helped graduate students learn the intricacies of business processes and organizational change. In her consulting practice, she works with organizations to improve performance. Her fiction writing indulges her desire to play god on a small scale.

Briana McGuckin
Briana McGuckin lives with her family in an old house they call “The Wilde.” She has cerebral palsy, and suspects that she took to writing as a child because her imagination leapt and bound in ways that her body could not. In her short time on this Earth, she has done many things; she has re-learned how to walk, she has spoken at the Library of Congress, and she has been pulled on-stage and sung to by Tim Curry. This is the first time her fiction has been professionally published, however, and she hopes this is the beginning of her grandest adventure yet. More about her may be found on her blog, Moon Missives: www.moonmissives.wordpress.com.

Larry C. Kay
Larry C. Kay is still mixing the concrete for his own tower, but he’s fully paid up on his tithes to the forest sprites, so he expects no trouble with ents and such. When he’s not dodging mosquitoes in Florida, or dutifully pencil-whipping, he indulges his appetites for Coppertail Brewing’s Unholy Trippel, and raising three queens with only two pair.

G. Scott Huggins
G. Scott Huggins grew up in the American Midwest and has lived there all his life, except for interludes in the European Midwest (Germany) and the Asian Midwest (Russia). He is currently responsible for securing America’s future by teaching its past to high school students, many of whom learn things before going to college. His preferred method of teaching and examination is strategic warfare. He loves to read high fantasy, space opera, and parodies of the same. He has a column in the magazine Sci Phi Journal. He wants to be a hybrid of G.K. Chesterton and Terry Pratchett when he counteracts the effects of having grown up. When he is not teaching or writing, he devotes himself to his wife, their three children, and his cat. He loves good bourbon, bacon, and pie, and will gladly put his writing talents to use reviewing samples of any recipe featuring one or more of them. You can read his ramblings and rants (with bibliography) at https://scotthuggins.wordpress.com/, and you can follow him on Facebook.

He teaches archaeology and critical writing at the University of Pennsylvania and writes speculative fiction in his spare time. He initially wrote Freak Justice at the Odyssey Writers Workshop where he was a student and later resident supervisor.
