The Bones of the Earth, a historical fantasy, came out in 2012. It was followed in 2013 with One Shade of Red, an erotic romance.

Dean Kastle is the author of SWORD SONGS and the DOG OF WAR Epic. In addition to his love of ‘story’ in every medium, he’s a rabid foodie and soccer fanatic. As far as Dean’s concerned, Pluto is still a planet, and the oxford comma is a matter of taste. He doesn’t wear a beret or write with a fountain pen, but he does own a life-size replica of the Iron Throne. From that perch, he plots his next tale. He lives in fly-over country with his wife, three kids and—yes—a dog.

I’ve been fascinated by fairy tales and fantasy since before I could read. My earliest memories involve riding the backs of wolves and running away from hags riding pestles. My mother has repeatedly tried to explain to me that these things never actually happened, but I still don’t believe her.
When I was old enough to write, my friends and I created an alternate version of Narnia, called Wreathlea (I don’t know? It had a lot of wreaths maybe?), with a Stone Witch instead of a White Witch, and an enchanted princess who had been turned into a Golden Evergreen. Instead of playing with toys, we would go outside and look for cloud formations in the shape of lions (Aslan, you know). Except in our version, he was called Seaze. You can imagine what a silly picture we made, standing outside, staring at the sky, screaming “Seaze! Where are you?” with all our might…
Other derivative masterpieces of childhood included “Duels of Space” which started as a standard Star Wars ripoff but eventually included ninjas riding the backs of warrior bears…
Come to think of it, not much has changed. I still have warriors riding bears in my books!

However, D.F. Jones’s greatest blessings come in the form of two extraordinary sons. The love she holds for them surpasses all boundaries, eclipsing even the brightest stars in the night sky. They are the inspiration that fuels her creativity and the reason her stories resonate with such depth and emotion.

Dr. Weiqi Wang is a scientist with an explorer’s spirit. Holding a Ph.D. from the University of Oxford, he embarked on an enlightening sojourn across Europe that led him not just through laboratories, but also into the realm of imagination. Setting foot on American soil, he began his U.S. journey in Rhode Island before an epic cross-country expedition to Stanford University. There, he immersed himself in complex data science projects alongside the NIH (National Institutes of Health).
His blend of scientific curiosity and quiet fascination with the magical led him to a unique hypothesis: the hidden intersections between science and magic. He invites you to consider unexplained phenomena—like ball-lightning—that linger at the fringes of our scientific understanding, nudging us towards a sense of wonder and openness.
It is this nuanced perspective that Weiqi Wang pours into his enchanting series, Code of Rainbow. This world is a harmonious blend of magic and science, breaking new ground by inviting us to reimagine the boundaries between the two. Primarily tailored for young readers, the narrative unveils its scientific underpinnings progressively, ensuring it captivates a broad audience. Dr. Wang’s work subtly coaxes us into seeing the awe in both magic and science, inviting readers of all ages to join an extraordinary adventure that both entertains and enlightens.

Hope Ann likes to think of herself as an undercover resistance fighter in the battle for truth. In reality, her bluntness and sarcasm make her anything but ‘undercover.’ The oldest of nine children, she has an arsenal of experience ranging from jiu-jitsu, living in the Dominican Republic for two years, and working with troubled teenagers.
Her greatest struggle is realizing she can’t do everything, but it hasn’t stopped her from periodically trying.
Based in central Indiana, her day-to-day life involves brainstorming theories about Sanderson’s Cosmere with her husband, collecting situation-perfect memes, and struggling to remember the difference between ‘effect’ and ‘affect’. She is the author of nine fantasy books, a writing coach, and a founding board member of Story Embers.
