Douglas Edwards
From 1999 to 2005 I was director of consumer marketing and brand management for Google. Before that I was online brand manager for the San Jose Mercury News, communications director for KQED FM in San Francisco, an ad agency copywriter, an admission officer for Brown University, and the Novosibirsk correspondent for the public radio program Marketplace. During that last gig, I got involved in a drunken Saturday night brawl at a mafia-owned bar, had dinner at the home of the Novokuznetsk KGB chief and almost died a mile underground in a coal mine. None of that made it into this book however.

Hervey M. Cleckley
Dr. Hervey Milton Cleckley (1903 - January 28, 1984) was an American psychiatrist and pioneer in the field of psychopathy. His book, The Mask of Sanity, originally published in 1941, provided the most influential clinical description of psychopathy in the 20th Century. The term "mask of sanity" derived from Cleckley's observations that, unlike people with major mental disorders, a "psychopath" can appear to be normal and even engaging, while typically not suffering overtly from hallucinations or delusions.[1] However, the "mask" covered a concealed psychosis.

L.M. Zorn
L M Zorn has been interested in history forever, especially the Really Old Stuff. They grew up reading the myths and stories of Ancient Greece and Rome, and never grew out of it. They are competent at both archery and horse riding, though not at the same time, and they are very impressed by people who are. At university (in the previous millennium) they studied, among other things, history and classical studies, and have since then been fortunate enough be able to travel to many of the places in this series. They live on a rural property on Aotearoa New Zealand’s South Island, with a pack of dogs, too many chickens, freeloading horses who know when they’re on to a good thing, and a partner who holds it all together.
