About the authors
Voss Foster lives in the middle of the Eastern Washington desert, where he writes science fiction and fantasy from inside a single-wide trailer. He is the author of the Evenstad Media Presents series, The King Jester Trilogy, The Mountains of Good Fortune, and the Immortal Whispers Series. His short fiction has been featured in various magazines and anthologies, including Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine and Apocrypha & Abstractions. When he can be pried away from his keyboard, he can be found singing, practicing photography, cooking, and belly dancing, though rarely all at the same time.
A Colorado native, Sam Knight spent ten years in California's wine country before returning to the Rockies. When asked if he misses California he gets a wistful look in his eyes and replies he misses the green mountains in the winter, but he is glad to be back home.
His grandfather and mother are avid readers and Sam says his own passion started when he pressed his grandfather about what was so interesting. His grandfather handed him a book and he has been an avid reader ever since. He claims to have finished the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy in fourth grade and says he can still remember the look, feel, and smell of some of those early books. (He has been spotted sniffing books as he ruffles the pages.)
While doing research for a Western novel, Sam was not surprised to find out that, once upon a time, half of his family had been on the wrong side of the law. It stands to reason that when your great-great-grandfather was a marshal in Cripple Creek, Colorado, someone in the family had to be a horse thief. Sam was, however, surprised to find the family name had originally been McKnight and that the thieves had taken the 'Mc' part of the name with them. (Or the lawmen let them have it to distance themselves from that side of the family.) Having served a stint working in a correctional facility, he has often wondered if being a lawman runs in the blood. His great grandfather upheld the law in Mooreland, OK, as well as Springfield and Florence CO, among other places, with his grandfather occasionally deputized to assist.
When asked why he would want to become a writer, Sam recounts a time when he was in fifth grade. Illness stuck him in bed for two weeks with only books for companions. (This was a bit before video game phone implants were in common use.) He burned through the Xanth trilogy (back before it expanded into thirty some books), the Riddle of Stars trilogy, a couple of John Carter of Mars books, and several Pip and Flinx novels, relishing the moments when he would become so engrossed he would forget the ills of the physical. A thought floated through his mind at that time, about being able to return the favor to the authors who were providing so much to him. That thought never left and now he sincerely hopes anyone picking up one his stories can find something they were looking for.
As well having been Distribution Manager for WordFire Press, Senior Editor for Villainous Press, and doing miscellaneous things for various other small publishers, Sam is the author of six children’s books, four short story collections, three novels, and over five dozen short stories, including two media tie-ins: a Planet of the Apes story and a Wayward Pines story, both co-authored with Kevin J. Anderson. In 2017, based upon his experiences curating and editing five anthologies and numerous other stories, as well as being involved in the publication of over 400 titles in some way, Sam released Blood from Your Own Pen: A Practical Guide on Self-Editing and Common Mistakes.

Benjamin M. Weilert was born in Colorado in 1985. While he went to school for Mechanical Engineering (eventually earning a Master's Degree), he has found science to be interesting enough to write fiction about it. He likes to classify his novels as "science fantasy," wherein the science is real and (semi) accurate but portrayed in a fantasy setting to make it accessible to non-scientific readers. If you want stories that are surreptitiously educational, he's your man.
Before 2009, Benjamin wrote a collection short stories that he had hoped to combine into a novel. While this never happened, he has used the experience to his benefit. One of these short stories, as well as a few poems of his, were published in the Colorado School of Mines' creative anthology known as High Grade.
During his time in Alabama, he wrote a personal blog of his adventures entitled AlabamAdventures. Upon his return to Colorado, he ended the blog and began a new one, Cinema Connections, where he discusses the connections between a variety of movies.
Every novel he has ever written has been during National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). He has won the challenge eleven times in a row and plans to win for many more years. Currently, he is the Municipal Liaison for the Colorado Springs region: helping other novelists find their stories and write them down.
With his years of experience, he joined with fellow Colorado Springs authors as part of The Midnight Writers. Their goal is to help authors become better writers.
J.L. Zenor is an author of Fantasy, Science Fiction, Christian Living, and Christian Fiction works. He regularly writes for the Christian Blog Eternal Truth Ministry and has written short stories including Rite of Passage.
J.L. Zenor has participated in (and won) NaNoWriMo since 2013 when he started getting serious about finishing a novel. He was later inspired by watching other authors succeed in the realm of self-publishing which allowed him to start writing and publishing out of a love of writing rather than spending years trying to find an agent or publisher.
Jon and his wife live in the beautiful state of Colorado with their son, and regularly enjoys hiking, website programming, and leads the Star Trek fan group USS Zebulon Pike.
