Dan Gemeinhart lives in a small town smack dab in the middle of Washington state with his wife and three young daughters. He was lucky and grateful to be a teacher-librarian in an elementary school for thirteen years, where he got to share awesome books with awesome kids. He loves camping, cooking and traveling. He also plays guitar (badly) and reads (constantly). His house is always a mess. He is really pretty darn happy.

Brittany Evans is a Canadian who makes graphic designs by daylight and writes stories by moonlight. Growing up her parents always said she had a "wild imagination" where she could be given a stick and create an entire story with it. Now as an adult they find themselves lost in the worlds they create often inspired by nature and anime. When she isn't writing she can be found hiking or drinking too much Starbucks.
