Joshua T. Calvert
Joshua T. Calvert has traveled the world--on foot, by Jeep, by bicycle, by motorcycle, and lots of other ways besides. As you might imagine, he's seen many things most people never see - including an Iranian prison cell, from the inside! In Kyrgyzstan, he fared slightly better, narrowly avoiding being kidnapped for ransom. Skydiver, scuba diver, martial artist, adventurer - his goal is to experience everything possible, and then make it real to you in his books. And he's made a good run of it so far: in the Philippines, he did police training on multiple types of firearms (despite being no fan of guns himself); dove in Asian waters among sharks and shipwrecks; and patrolled with Sumatran jungle rangers.

Eugene Linden
I've spent my entire writing career exploring various aspects of one question: Why is it that after hundreds of thousands of years one relatively small subset of our species has reached a point where its fears, appetites, and spending habits control the destiny of every culture, every major ecosystem, and virtually every creature on earth? What happened that enabled us to seize control in a blink of an eye?

I began scratching at this question in my first book, Apes, Men and Language, published over 40 years ago. In that book I explored the implications of some experiments from the 1960s that showed that chimpanzees could use sign language in ways similar to the way we use words - to express opinions and feelings, to make specific requests, a -

The picture is me with our “little” dog, Hope. I am an avid dog lover.
Reading and studying the history of the great empires of the world since the dawn of time is one of my interests. I also have been teaching/studying the Bible for nearly 40 years.
After the first of many trips to Israel in 1984, I began studying Jewish history in depth. Next, I started studying the ancient Jewish customs, language, and idioms used in the days of Jesus. I was shocked the amount of knowledge I gained that was not taught to me in Bible college and seminary.
While doing my research to write the End of World series, I was amazed to see the massive numbers of people dwelling in fear of the many different apocalyptic theories that can end the world and humanity. T -

Lewis S. Kingston
Lewis Kingston was born in 1986. His early introduction to the world of science fiction came in the form of a taped version of the original radio broadcast of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and, before long, he had consumed all of the books, the BBC TV series, and the radio script itself.

By the age of eight, he had moved on to titles such as The Player of Games by Iain M. Banks, only later his parents remembering what they contained, but, despite a voracious appetite for reading and writing, the thought of working in the field never crossed his mind. He subsequently studied Motorsport Engineering at Coventry, and graduated with a good qualification, but deemed himself not much of an engineer and sought work in other fields.
