About the Authors
Robert Bagnall’s speculative and science fiction has appeared in a variety of magazines and anthologies since the early 1990s. He also occasionally dons a suit and tie to remind himself of the absurdity of the workplace, although not as an accountant, and has a double (or is it triple?) life in property development. At the time of writing he is renovating a Victorian villa on the English Riviera, which Rudyard Kipling allegedly once visited. A previous project led to his non-fiction book ‘127a’, available on Amazon. You can find his science fiction musings at meschera.blogspot.co.uk. He doesn’t like dogs and is allergic to cats.

Elizabeth Guizzetti discovered, much to her chagrin, that she was not a cyborg and that growing up to be an otter would be impractical, and so she began writing stories. Guizzetti currently lives in Seattle with her husband and two dogs. When not writing, she loves hiking and birdwatching.
She is the author and illustrator of independent comics: Faminelands, Lure and Out for Souls & Cookies! Her debut novel, Other Systems, was a Finalist for the 2015 Canopus Award. She continues to write science fiction, horror, and fantasy. Her third book, a cosmic horror novel entitled The Grove will be released in the autumn of 2016.

Albert Nothlit currently lives in Mexico City, where he has somewhat reluctantly gotten used to the crowds. He shares a home with his husband and their sassy little dog named Link. His two other passions are gaming and running, although not games involving running because those can be boring. His favorite games are RPGs, and one of his guilty pleasures is watching eSports in pubs whenever the opportunity arises. He has an MSc in Environmental Engineering, which has turned out to be surprisingly helpful in creating postapocalyptic science-fiction worlds. Not that he thinks that an apocalypse is unavoidable. He is a secretly hopeful man who thinks the future will be better—just no flying cars. Imagine the safety hazards.
