Saylor Ferguson

Saylor Ferguson has been writing stories featuring animals for longer than she can remember. To this day, she's a firm believer that there just aren't enough creature fantasy tales, and she has made it one of her life goals to remedy this issue. When not writing tales of dragons, griffins, birds, or wolves-- or some combination of the four-- she can be found hawking, fishing, or hiking. Along with one grumpy guinea pig, Saylor lives in North Carolina, where she finds great inspiration in the natural beauty and varied wildlife.

Max Florschutz

Max Florschutz was born and raised in the wilds of southeast Alaska, on a little island that boasted both a large, lumber-based economy and one of the highest rainfalls to ever not be desired by humanity. In 2004 he began attending college at Brigham Young University Provo, taking a two-year break to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Upon his return, he continued to attend BYU Provo and began to delve heavily into English courses (among other things), including creative writing classes taught by authors such as Brandon Sanderson. Transferring out to BYU Hawaii to keep a promise, Max finished his degree, graduating in 2011 with more credits than most students would know what to do with and a 3.96 GPA.

J.F.R. Coates

J.F.R. Coates is a speculative fiction author, focusing in fantasy and science fiction. Her work tends to focus away from the human characters of the setting, instead giving life to the creatures that dwell alongside the familiar.

Born and raised in picturesque Somerset, England, J.F.R. Coates moved to Brisbane in Australia as a teenager. She grew up reading from a young age, starting with Enid Blyton's The Famous Five and Secret Seven, before finding her calling with J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. Fantasy has gripped her ever since, and now she calls amongst her favourite authors Maggie
