David Gittlin

Only one thing stood between me and my dream of becoming a creative writer: I couldn’t do two things at once.

Upon retiring from my career in marketing communications, I decided to devote my full attention to writing fiction, thereby solving my multi-tasking challenge.

I began my creative writing journey by enrolling in the online Writers’ Program offered by UCLA. In a series of courses taught by professional writers, I learned how to craft memorable characters, create colorful worlds, and outline suspenseful plots enriched with drama and conflict.

Taking one baby step at a time, I managed to bridge the gulf between writing promotional copy in short bursts to rendering full scale novels. As an interim step, I wrote three screenplays.

Hildebrand Hermannson

Hildebrand Hengest Hermannson’s deep-rooted fire for Indo-European culture and Western Philosophy ignites his first novel, The Fate of Our Union, the inaugural piece in a planned series. His work draws inspiration from a range of national epics, including The Saga of the Volsungs (Norse), Mahabharata (Indian), Aenid (Roman), Odyssey (Greek), Táin Bó Cúailnge (Celtic), and the Shahnameh (Iranian). He crafts these rich cultures into original stories featuring fantasy world-building, dynamic characters, and intricate plots and themes.

His iron weaving is further strengthened by the Stoics, Cynics, and Yogis, who feared not pain, death, or poverty, ordained by the Thunderer and the Fates, and who embraced their destiny like epic heroes. Hildebra

Steven L. Ririe

I'm a passionate storyteller and historian who likes to bring forgotten tales to light. I enjoy writing both non-fiction and historical fantasy fiction.

I'm the founder of the Silent Heroes of the Cold War National Memorial Committee, where I teach facts I uncovered about a classified 1955 plane crash near Mount Charleston, Nevada, leading to long-overdue recognition for the fallen.

My written works blend history, imagination, and deep moral questions, and I hope to draw readers into stories of courage and resilience. When I'm not writing, I volunteer in a prison ministry and advocate for historical preservation.

Aleron II

Aleron II is a mystic, magician, and spiritual witness of the deeper structures of existence. After lifetimes of seeking and initiation, he returned in this incarnation not merely to remember—but to complete what he once refused: full spiritual evolution.

When faced with metastatic cancer, he turned to sacred Master Plants and Toads—Ayahuasca, Iboga, Peyote, San Pedro, Tepezcohuite, Bufo Alvarius, and Magic Mushrooms. With them, he walked a deep path of healing, self-realization, and remembrance.

His book We Are Not Humans is not a memoir, but a guide to inner transformation. It merges practical teachings, magic, and sacred plant wisdom with clarity and depth. Now bearing the archetype of the Black Panther, Aleron II teaches through silent pr
