Grace Draven
I'm an author and Louisiana native living in Texas with my husband, three smalls and a big doofus dog. I have lived in Spain, hiked the Teton Mountains, honeymooned in Scotland, ridden in competition rodeo and am the great great granddaughter of a Nicaraguan president. I also hate doing laundry and refuse to iron anything.
I've loved storytelling since forever. I published my first short story with Amber Quill Press and have since written several other tales. A love of the bad boy in fiction always inspires me.

Kathryn Colvin
One way or another, Kathryn Colvin has always been writing something weird. She got her start dictating surrealistic and entirely unhinged monster stories to her grandfather “Moon Rock” before she could spell the words herself, later wrote and performed in theatrical adaptations of Tolkien novels, and then wrote and directed her own feature-length retro superhero sci-fi B-movie, The Teenage Mummies from Beyond, shown at an independent movie theater in Portland, Oregon. During her time in college (some years after high school) she majored in English literature, published peer-reviewed articles as an undergrad, and successfully avoided taking any creative writing courses.
