CLAIRE WINN Since graduating from Northwestern University, Claire has worked as a technical/content writer, freelance editor, and an editorial intern for Filles Vertes Publishing. On the creative side, she builds props and armor for cosplay and writes storylines for LARP games—in addition to battling with boffer swords. Her primary artistic ambition is crafting science fiction and fantasy novels with vivid worlds and powerful female leads. A gamer at heart, she writes books that are fast-paced, immersive, and driven by fierce, flawed characters. |

B.C. MATTHEWS B.C. Matthews spent her childhood writing about the epic wars between clans of sentient feral cats and untamed mutant dogs. Now, she pens character driven stories of nightmare creatures with charming smiles, friends who become found family, and robots with all the feelings. When she's not tending to her expanding reptile horde, you can find her taking pictures of any cute animal she comes across, singing mash-ups karaoke-style, or beatboxing (poorly) in elevators. |

KEALA KENDALL Keala Kendall (pronounced: kay-ah-luh) was born and raised in Hawaii, splitting her time between a remote Molokai farm and urban Oahu. She went to school for screenwriting and surprised everyone—herself included—when she finished a novel instead. She's a gym-obsessed runner, gamer, and baker. Her secret powers include messing up idioms, learning pop culture references two years too late, and watching franchise movies out of order. But her biggest secret is that she peaked in college when she was crowned her major's "video game expert". Truth be told, she's been seeking that level of validation again, but knows lightning never strikes twice. After graduating, she married her best friend and now lives in Los Angeles writing mixed-race characters like herself. |
