Ben Wolf

At the age of nine, Ben Wolf slayed his first dragon.

As the dragon perished, it bequeathed a measure of its power to Ben.

It told him, "You now have the ability to lie more creatively than any other being on this planet--except for politicians. Use this power wisely."

The dragon died with one final puff of smoke from its lungs, but Ben Wolf lived on.

For years, Ben honed his craft. At the age of twelve, he lied to his sister about having thrown darts at a poster of her favorite boy band.

At the age of sixteen, he lied to a policeman who'd pulled him over for speeding, and it got him out of a ticket.

At the age of eighteen, he lied to himself about what a good decision it was to go to Bible college and major in Pastoral Studies (tha

C. Gockel

C. Gockel got her start writing fanfiction, and she is not ashamed! Much. She received emails, messages and reviews from her fans telling her she should 'do this professionally'. She didn't; because she is a coward and life as a digital designer, copywriter and coder is more dependable. But in the end, her husband's nagging wore her down: "You could be the next '50 Shades of Gray' and I could retire!" Unfortunately, the author isn't much for writing smut. She is sad about this; she'd love for her husband to be able to retire and just work for her so she could nag him.

At the moment, Ms. Gockel is working on the next installment of her Archangel Project series.
