Roxie Fiste

Horses and ponies have always fascinated me. At least since I was old enough to walk. I began drawing them as soon as I could hold a crayon. Today, I enjoy not only creating new characters, but also helping children expand their imaginations through art and storytelling.

I created my “Ali” character during my junior year in high school.
My youngest brother's imagination was the spark for my "Mika" character in Ali's Big Adventure.

I’m a wife, a mom, an artist, a model horse collector, an amateur astronomer, author.

Dragos Gaszpar

Dragos Gaszpar writes dark, character-driven fantasy about loss, memory, and the quiet weight of long consequences. He believes magic should cost something, characters should show who they are, and that real depth often lies in what’s left unsaid. His stories blend lyrical prose with emotional and philosophical intensity, offering worlds where silence can wound and history never stays buried.

When not writing, he can usually be found studying myth, trying to understand the contradictions of human behavior, or rewriting the same sentence for the tenth time.

Shaune Lafferty Webb

Shaune’s father was an amateur astronomer and her eldest brother an avid science fiction reader, so perhaps it was inevitable that she developed an early enthusiasm for writing speculative fiction.

After obtaining a degree in geology from the University of Queensland, Shaune subsequently worked in geochemical laboratories, exploration companies, and, while living in the United States, at a multinational scientific institute involved in exploration beneath the ocean floors. A decade after returning to Australia, armed with a life-long addiction to SciFi and a broad scope of real-world research and editing experience, Shaune returned to her original passion, the writing of speculative fiction.
