Laughing Briar is a fantasy and science fiction author, traveler, and devourer of audiobooks-just like any other sentient flower pen out there. Don't mind the human; she's just along for the ride.After a fire burned down their home at four years old, Briar developed a knack for seeing that funny silver lining around life's charcoal husks. As the youngest of six kids, that skill came in handy. Despite their folks' best efforts, it was hard to find space in such a crowded house, but Briar discovered entire worlds to roam in books. Tom Sawyer inspired them to do mischief, Harry Potter gave them a love of magic, and Ender Wiggin took them to the treacherous yet awe-inspiring stars. So, when it came time to choose a career path, it felt natural to pursue the closest they could get to science fiction-engineering. But their love of stories never left. Nourished by a The Ohio State University education, a blended family upbringing, and an insatiable wanderlust, Briar draws deeply from these wells to inspire their stories.They've lived across the United States but have most recently planted roots in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. In their free time, Briar enjoys hiking, board gaming with friends, and stabbing people with foam swords.

Solace is a Colorado Native and lifetime pursuer of creation and craft. He received his education in fine arts from Denver School of the arts and Metro University. He has sought to bring his abilities to many areas and media and has for many years looked to create works in the literary and gaming worlds. His dreams nearly came to an end when he was subject to a cliff fall accident and lost much of the use of his hands and dominant eye, along with brain damage and memory loss. Despite the drawback, he continued to work towards dreams and eventually relearned how to use his hand and create in new ways. Now he works diligently to continue a desire to bring life to ideas and imagery to write words. He creates visual works for his own stories and those around him. "Dreams do not die but change with the next journey and I am a wanderer for life." -Solace

I am an award-winning author writing from the thriving cornfields of Iowa where I live with my wife, daughter, and two dragons disguised as cats. My writing journey began in the oral tradition of convincing my daughter to Go To Sleep with inventive stories. That usually backfired. After years of Just One More Story, I began transcribing my midnight ramblings in an attempt to keep my storylines straight. Children are ruthless in identifying mistakes in fairy tales. I write lighthearted speculative fiction because that's what I love to read and-this is the important bit-there's not nearly enough humor in the world. I aim to change that, one story at a time.I joined the US Army after college and, through some glitch in the bureaucracy, convinced Uncle Sam to fund my wanderlust for twenty years. I have lived in and traveled through much of Europe, central Asia, and the United States. Now that I'm retired from the Army, I devote my time to my passions of writing, traveling with my family, and finding new ways to pay my mortgage.
