Daniel Cortes holds a Ph.D. in Oncology and works as a Research Project Manager in hit and lead finding during the day, where he spearheads cutting-edge technologies to advance cancer treatments. By night, he channels his passion for science and exploration into writing science fiction. His novels are inspired by his research and his fascination with how humanity might evolve beyond Earth’s boundaries as a society, blending futuristic worlds with the personal and relatable fallibilities of individuals — struggles with identity, morality, and the weight of progress. When he’s not in the lab or crafting stories, Daniel enjoys playing soccer, going on long walks with his wife and daughter, and dreaming up the next big leap for humankind.
Sedigitus Swift is a historian by day and a pseudonymous fantasy author by night (as well as during eclipses or otherwise under cover of darkness). After toiling for twelve years at the U.S. Department of Justice, he became one of two in-house historians at Archelaus (because what upstart publishing house doesn’t need at least two?). When not diverting himself by writing Tales from Ondiran, an offbeat series of medieval fantasy novellas, he specializes in the perplexities of modern Central and Eastern Europe. No doubt he has other equally perverse interests, but we are not currently certain exactly what those might be.
