Carol Hightshoe
An avid reader at a young age, Carol's strong desire to write came from her love of (her husband calls it her
obsession with) Star Trek. It was this early love of Trek that led her to the Science Fiction and Fantasy
genres. She has been published in various anthologies and magazines and has published four of the books in her Chaos
Reigns Fantasy series. In addition to her own writing, she is the editor and publisher of the online e-zine:
The Lorelei Signal. She also runs her own micro-press - WolfSinger Publications.
Patrick Thomas
There's been a debate among certain obscure and drunken literary scholars about whether Patrick Thomas was raised
by Cthulhu or a leprechaun in a Manhattan bar. What there is no arguing about is that Patrick is the award-winning
author of 40+ books including the beloved fantasy humor Murphy's Lore series, the darkly hilarious Dear Cthulhu
advice empire, Bikini Jones, the Mystic Investigators series, and the creator of the Agents of the Abyss.
As Patrick T. Fibbs, he writes middle readers including the Babe B. Bear Mysteries, The Undead Kid Diaries,
Joy Reaper Checks Out, and the Ughabooz kids books. Visit him at

Jeremiah Lynch
Jeremiah was born in Wisconsin and traveled to Korea, Kuwait, and Kentucky before settling in far-off Minnesota.
He was part of the Pulp Gamer podcast crew, volunteered at game conventions, taught English, and then became a family
practice medical provider. His greatest joy is playing games with his kids. What he really wants to be when he grows
up is a sapient robot, preferably one that flies.
