Bonnie Milani's stories are garnering attention. Her short story 'A Hot Day on Titan' (Visions of Titan Anthology, Lillicat Press, 2015) has been nominated for the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award. Her novella 'Liquid Gambit' was a Reader's Choice 2015 Top 100 selection. 'Home World' a sci fi novel set on the shattered remains of a future Waikiki, won the 2016 EVVY awards' 1st place in the science fiction category. Most recently, 'Home World' has been awarded the Books Go Social Gold Quality Mark.

Bonnie started writing before she started school. Over the years, her articles have appeared in 'Science Digest', a variety of East Coast newspapers, and magazines ranging from 'Mankind' through regional magazines such as 'Peninsula' to 'Speculations'. On the business side, she's also written and taught in-house classes for pension administration firms on such delightful topics as (yawn) 'IRC sections 404 and 415: understanding the differences' or 'Implementing REA' an administrator's guide to managing the complexities of the Retirement Equity Act.

She holds a Master's in Communication/Journalism from Stanford and has taught classes in every aspect of writing, from business courses in sales writing to understanding three-act structure in fiction. She is also a freelance editor for indie authors. And when she's not writing, teaching, or editing she keeps her wits sharpened as an insurance broker in the ObamaCare environment.

Brent A. Harris is a two-time alternate history Sidewise Award finalist. He writes of time-traveling astronaut dinosaurs, misunderstood orcs, conflicted AIs, and a universe where Dickens meets steampunk.

When not harried behind a keyboard chugging caffeine, Brent enjoys nerdy stuff like board games, DnD, and arguing why there's still hope for Marvel movies. He holds a Masters in Creative Writing and Film from National University because the school liked his writing enough to pay for his degree.

As part of a military family, he's traveled the world and lived in four different countries yet still can't speak a second language. Heck, the guy can hardly write in English. He currently lives abroad with a broad and a brood in Okinawa, Japan.
