Tony Glass holds a Bachelor's in Theater, a Masters in Accounting, and more stories in his head than he can count. He currently lives in Virginia with his wife, daughter, and their 28 animals, including two dogs, four cats, a rabbit, a snake, twelve rats and six chickens (at the time of publication). The vast majority of the animals are rescues looking for forever homes, but a few are permanent members of the family. 

When not working at the Post Office or doing taxes for clients, Tony likes to travel to distant worlds and far off galaxies, seeing how the people there cope with the stresses of their lives. More often than not, he finds they do it the same way he does: lots and lots of music, coffee, and time with family.

Aidan Zingler writes science fiction, poetry, nonfiction essays, and sometimes a blog post on their website: Reshaping Reality.  Aidan loves exploring and often perches on things like a bird. They walk the cracks balanced precariously between the days of yesterday and the tremors of the present. They hide under blankets; sing with the wind; and seeks stories of people's days told in whatever lyrical language is truest to their soul. 

Aidan is a hopeless romantic idealist, a demisexual skittish of people, and a trans person who is no mere ma’am or sir. A void of genderlessness that they ascribe to the stars, their body comprised of star-guts. Their nickname is Bird, and their animal companion is an incredibly fluffy cat named Sgt. Quark Amaya McFluffers.
