J.L. Doty

Jim is a full-time SF&F writer, scientist and laser geek (Ph.D. Electrical Engineering, specialty laser physics), and former running-dog-lackey for the bourgeois capitalist establishment. He's been writing for over 30 years, with 15 published books. His first success came through self-publishing when his books went word-of-mouth viral, and sold enough that he was able to quit his day-job, start working for himself and write full time--his new boss is a real jerk. That led to contracts with traditional publishers like Open Road Media and Harper Collins Voyager, and his books are now a mix of traditional and self-published.

The four novels in his new hard science fiction series, The Blacksword Regiment, are scheduled for release in July 2020.

Bruce Blake

Bruce Blake lives on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. When pressing issues like shovelling snow and building igloos don't take up his spare time, Bruce can be found taking the dog sled to the nearest cafe to work on his short stories and novels.

Actually, Victoria, B.C. is only a couple hours north of Seattle, Wash., where more rain is seen than snow. Since snow isn't really a pressing issue, Bruce spends more time trying to remember to leave the "u" out of words like "colour" and "neighbour" than he does shovelling.

Bruce's first short story, "Another Man's Shoes" was published in the Winter 2008 edition of Cemetery Moon. "Yardwork" was made into a podcast in Oct., 2011 by Pseudopod. "On Unfaithful Wings" is Bruce's first novel

Hi there! I'm an author whose first mainstream book, the science fiction novel, QUESTOR, was published in April 2013 by Amber Quill Press. My second book, the fantasy novel, THE EYNAN, was released by my publisher in June 2013, and its sequel, THE EYNAN 2: GARILEON, which follows on from where the first book ended, was released on 1st June 2014!

I have been putting pen to paper, figuratively speaking, for most of my life but only in the last few years have I really pursued writing in a more serious manner, wanting to get my work published so others could read and hopefully appreciate it. I like to write in various genres, through science fiction, fantasy and historical are my favorites.

He knew he enjoyed creating his own stories as early as sixth grade.

As if it seemed like the most logical course, he started plotting a trilogy of epic fantasy books. Starting small was not on his radar. Nowadays, the writing conti
