	Kay Austin Kay Austin is a time traveler. Although this displaced Southerner is physically confined to the planet and the present in the Pacific Northwest rainforest, her imagination isn’t. Both the lure of the past and the mystery of the future inspire plots for the historian and Twilight Zone junkie. With an unquenchable desire to harness time—to bend it and traverse it at will, Kay crafts alternate realities with the cosmic clash between fact and fiction. Plunging into eras with the delicacy of a high dive cannonball, Kay unleashes her characters to explore the unknown and sneaks along for the ride. She believes her ardor for adventure and storytelling is genetic. As the great-granddaughter of a Civil War veteran who survived Pickett’s Charge and daughter of a sassy Army-nurse bride and a WWII vet who survived Guadalcanal, Kay credits her Cherokee and Scotch-Irish roots for her passion for history. Teamed with her real-life Rogue and fellow historian husband and three-and-a-half cats, Kay presses on with her quest to sample the wonder of the planet—past, present, and future. Today she’s spelunking in bat-filled caves and crawling through castle ruins along the Rhine. Tomorrow? To research her next book, Kay’s dropping in on the 1300s to check out the Black Death. www.kayaustin.com   kay@kayaustin.com
	Colby Hodge Colby Hodge was a big fan of StarTrek growing up. Then Star Wars came along and she couldn’t help herself—her imagination took off to galaxies far, far away. Luckily she has her feet planted firmly on the ground with her day job, writing historical romances under the name Cindy Holby. But occasionally she finds that it’s best just to let her imagination take off and visit those faraway places and tell the stories she finds there. You can contact her at colbyhodge@aol.com or visit both her worlds at www.cindyholby.com.
	Michele Lang Michele Lang writes paranormal tales set in contemporary and futuristic places: the stories of witches, lawyers, goddesses, cops, bankers, demons and other magical creatures hidden in plain sight.

Her not-so-secret identity is bestselling, award-winning paranormal romance author Michelle Rowen. Michelle currently lives just west of Toronto and can usually be found glued to her iBook channeling the multitude of strange and wonderful stories that take up space in her imagination.
