Grace Chan

I’m a speculative fiction writer and doctor. My writing explores brains, minds, technology, space, and identity.

My debut novel, Every Version of You, uses virtual reality and mind-uploading to explore identity, love, migration, change, and the future of humanity.

My short fiction can be found in Clarkesworld, Lightspeed, Fireside, Space and Time Magazine, Black Cranes, Going Down Swinging, Aurealis, Andromeda Spaceways, and many other places.

I have been shortlisted for the Aurealis Awards, Norma K Hemming Award, and Viva la Novella VII.

My other interests include salt-and-vinegar anything and secretly filming my friends’ NYE karaoke highlights. I am terrible at conveying sarcasm. In a decaffeinated state, I may cease to exist.

Sonni de Soto

De Soto is a Builder of Worlds. Well, really, she’s a small office cog, churning away in a cubicle, who stealthily writes erotica in email drafts (so it still looks like she working).

She’s a kinkster, who loves and lives the lifestyle when she can, and has been since she was tying up her toys as a child. She’s read and loved erotic, kinky, romantic, fun stories for about as long as well, which probably explains her dirty, dirty mind. Here’s to putting a little more play into kink literature and to sharing real, honest love, whatever form it takes.

Ander Mombiela

Autor de la saga Cliché. Se ríe leyendo sus propios libros, cosa que no sabe si está bien o mal, y debe afeitarse la cabeza cada tres días para que transpiren las ideas. Puntúa todo con 5 estrellas en Goodreads porque no cree en las reseñas con nota, pero sí en apoyar a autores pequeños. Su opinión sobre el libro siempre la deja por escrito.

Pero, lo que sin duda es lo peor de todo, es que escribe sobre sí mismo en tercera persona.

Por la respuesta a preguntas con otra pregunta y retranca, se adivina que vengo de Galicia, sin intención de alejarme del mar.

Larga vida a los miércoles de cine y las series de televisión que tienen setecientas temporadas, que están tan bien como esbozar historias en las que lo único que pasa es la vida de los personajes, que intentan no tirar piedras contra las ventanas.
