Russell Pike

For those of you who’d like to know a little more about me, I’m flattered. Truly. A child of the eighties, I grew up on a steady diet of Ghost Busters, Thunder Cats and Ninja Turtles. For any who are wondering, the best turtle is Michelangelo (just my opinion, even if it happens to be correct.)

When I was twelve my mother gave me a copy of Robert Jordan’s “Eye of the World”, introducing me to the world of epic fantasy. I was hooked. Since then, I’ve also read Anne McCaffrey, Tad Williams, Brandon Sanderson, Jim Butcher, Steven Erikson, Frank Herbert, David Farland, and more.

David Litwack

The urge to write first struck at age sixteen when working on a newsletter at a youth encampment in the woods of northern Maine. It may have been the wild night when lightning flashed at sunset followed by the northern lights rippling after dark. Or maybe it was the newsletter’s editor, a girl with eyes the color of the ocean. But he was inspired to write about the blurry line between reality and the fantastic.

Using two fingers and lots of white-out, he religiously typed five pages a day throughout college and well into his twenties. Then life intervened. He paused to raise two sons and pursue a career, in the process — and without prior plan — becoming a well-known entrepreneur in the software industry, founding several successful companie
